House was smaller than we anticipated but it was cozy and suited our needs for our trip. Shower was on the small side for taller people but we made it work. Once we figured out how all the fans worked, it was very pleasant. Scenery was beautiful and neighbors were very friendly.

Take your own shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap. The bathroom is small as is the shower. The shower curtain was moldy or had some black substance whatever it was. The table in the backyard to sit at was dirty.The air conditioner in the bedroom worked, but it was so loud. We didn’t run it unless we had to.The kitchen as well supplied. It is missing a window blind in the front roomThe location is fantastic. It is great to have the pier and the front porch.Overall, for the price, it was acceptable, but I would not stay here again

Cute cottage with beautiful views and dock. Stayed as a small family with two young children who loved the front patio/porch. Very close to shops, beach, and ferry but far enough that you can enjoy the sound of nothing but waves.

On the Water

This is a great location if you are there to fish or just relax! It has a great pier and is close to the center of everything! It's not fancy but great for just two. The management was super dealing with our concerns.

Air conditioners ran the whole time. They never stopped. For summer will not be enough. The bathroom where do I start. You could not move around in that bathroom ! Shower curtain liner nasty and curtain. Shower was so small when we bent over you had to step out of shower. The house was clean. The house needs major repairs. The step between kitchen and front living has a step that is dangerous. We both almost fell. There is a board in kitchen behind middle chair if you step on it goes down. The bed sheets to large for bed. Memory form kept trying to off.The location is perfect.You repair things and we will be back otherwise we want back.
