This one-room cottage is cute as a button. The layout of the unit provides everything you need when you need it and tucks away when you don't. The host was easy to communicate with and was a very helpful intermediary between me and the company that delivered my sheets and towels, which are not included in the rental.Perhaps calling the cottage beach front is a matter of semantics. Can you see the beach or the sea from the window? No, but you can see the seagrass that leads to the ocean. From another window you see the wall of the house next door and the hotel behind. The outdoor space is wonderful. I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower.But the devil is in the details. General cleanliness could have been better. The rug was sorely in need of a deep clean and the blanket could have used a spin in the laundry. There was 1/4 inch of hand soap in the bathroom and about the same amount of dish soap in the kitchen. The soap and shampoo dispensers in the outdoor shower were empty. The utensil holder in the dish drainer was dirty. The area under the sink was not clean and I found what appeared to be the lid of a cake box with icing. I was happy to find a flash light for my evening walk to the beach -- unfortunately, the battery was dead. Paper towels or a dishcloth would have helpedMaybe I'm nitpicking, but at this price point I expect a bit more. But with all this said, I would stay here again, but only in the off season,
