We had the best time! The cottage was perfect for our needs, and the fenced-in yard was awesome! Nice to have the extras like soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, etc. We’ll definitely be renting here again!

We had such a wonderful time here. We were here on vacation for a full week and the house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for a week away with a toddler and a dog. We loved the backyard and it was so nice being able to walk the dog down the street and on the nearby bike path. We were just a couple minutes from the beach and everywhere we wanted to go. We loved it and highly recommend!!
