Cozy, clean, comfortable cottage
Our small family group was seeking a quiet, conveniently located rental with a seaside vibe and an appealing living room/kitchen spacious enough to have a few nearby relatives spend time with us there, and this property was perfect. The parking was tight beyond the two spaces allotted, but the owner was flexible and helped us make it work. The grounds are beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped and the upstairs suite is luxurious (although renters should be aware that the carpeted stairs leading up to it are steep). Even though this is an older property and we arrived during a stretch of rainy weather, the home smelled good and we detected no trace of mustiness. We would be happy to rent this cottage again!

Nice
Overall the house met our needs. The only 2 issues we had were the ceiling fans were very dusty,we cleaned them and rhe musty smell of the interior that triggered an algeric reaction to several family members. A dehumidifier would do the property well. Other than that very nice stay and location was great.
