This is a cozy, sweet little cottage that has everything we needed for a few days of r and r. Host was kind and responsive, space was in a quiet, pretty neighborhood, we got to play board games and enjoy some family time, go to beach a few minutes drive over the bridge, and visit the aquarium and some great local restaurants. Thank you for a lovely time.
