Quiet area, right across from a very small beach access point, easy walk and a relatively quiet beach. Cabin was clean, plenty of room. The tap water.... bring your own water for drinking and coffee.

Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the property, but there were a few issues that could be improved.The location was excellent—close to everything and perfect for a beach weekend, even though the weather didn’t cooperate. We ended up spending most of our time at the house due to the rain, and it was a comfortable and enjoyable space to relax.One downside was the dishwasher. It didn’t clean dishes thoroughly, so we still had to wash items by hand after running a cycle. That was a bit inconvenient.Another challenge was the water. This may not be specific to the property, but the water had a noticeable sulfur smell and taste, which made showering, brushing teeth, and drinking water less pleasant.Overall, we still had a positive experience thanks to the great location and comfortable home, but addressing the dishwasher and water concerns would make future stays much better.

Wonderful, quaint little cottage

My family and a close friend recently stayed at this property for an entire week and it was true to it's description 100%. The best part of the cottage was the proximity to the beach, even my daughter who ended up on crutches over our vacation could easily walk to and from the beach every day. Restaurants and groceries all were super close as well. The cottage was decorated beautifully and the space was renovated perfectly to make up for it's small size. I would say the kitchen may have been a touch smaller than expected, but I was expecting small so I cannot complain! There were a few downsides that I recommend should be upgraded in the cottage. First the washing machine and dryer are OLD and you cannot run the washer and stay in the cottage (much less before bedtime) as it causes the entire cottage to shake. I also left with 4 pieces of clothing with rust stains which did not make me happy. Oven mitts could not be found. We needed the heater on our last night, we woke up to the cottage being around 52 degrees and after turning on the heat as we packed to leave, it took 2 HOURS for the temp to go up TWO degrees. We checked out and left at that point so I'm not sure if there is a problem or it just takes forever? Lastly, renteres be aware this an old renovated cottage and the musty smell is not going anywhere. Overall, I highly recommend this rental!
