I spent a month - one wonderful month at Aloha Cottage. It was September and while the weather was changing we had a perfect month. The dog ran the beaches, I picked blackberries in the yard, read great books and enjoyed terrific meals. Our landlord (and lady) were attentive without being obvious, our kindling supplier (Jackson) was prompt and efficient while Jesse was a knowledgeable aquatic instructor. All available properties belonging to this owner was open, welcoming, clean and fully equiped. I am going back....Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.
