It is a cozy cabin, there was nothing missing, close to everything, very clean and quiet at night. If there were any questions the host would answer them right away and they were always available to answer any questions we had,we would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone
Overall very nice stay, beach just a few steps away was a real plus. Our Neighbour (Donna) was amazing, so helpful and pleasant.
In regards to improving the experience I'd list two main items; a firepit (burn cage) included with the property would be a big plus! The second item was the BBQ, a bit scary to use with a small amount of fumes detected plus only one burner was lighting and it did not burn very hot.
However, that's it on the negatives...we had a very good time and the beds were very, very comfortable!
Thank You.
