The moment we walked in, we were amazed with how nicely furnished, maintained, and stocked the cottage was. In fact, it was more like a nice vacation home then a cottage. The view was great, neighborhood friendly, and there were many activities within a short distance: Boating, fishing, golfing, and the beach. We very much enjoyed our week there.
