We just spent the most amazing week at this "cottage" - we can't wait to go back next year! We arrived to a fabulous welcome basket of coffee, snacks, crayons for kids, and info on fun activities etc. to do in the area. The house was extremely clean, the beds were made, and bouquets of fresh flowers were placed on the tables. From the moment we walked in the door we started to relax! The house and all of the amenities made vacationing so easy and fun. A perfect house for young children! We have a 5 month old baby, so not having to get in the car for activities was a real plus. We swam off the docks at high tide and went for beach walks on the sandbars during low tide. My husband loved using the paddle board and the bike to explore the surrounding area. When the tide was coming in, he used the boogie board they have to float down the river! The outdoor shower was fabulous. Great water pressure and so relaxing - we used it exclusively (there is a tub/shower in the upstairs bathroom which was great for our daughter's baths). Our favorite part of the house is the covered wrap-around porch which has spectacular views of the water and provides shade (and sun) for the entire day. Our daughter loves being outside and was able to be in the shade the whole day! Starting each day on the porch with a cup of coffee and the paper was blissful. We went out to dinner one night to a fabulous local restaurant, and cooked the other nights. The kitchen is fully stocked with all dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker, toaster, etc. that you could possibly need, and the grill works really well. We had a large cookout with about 25 people one day, and we easily had enough serving platters, utensils etc. Multiple people raved about the house and the fabulous location. It was also a pleasure working with the owners. They were extremely prompt in their replies to our emails prior to our arrival, and even checked in with us to see how we enjoyed our stay! We couldn't have imagined a more relaxing vacation - thank you!!
