Everything was super clean and the hosts were super friendly and responded super quickly. The views from either deck is truly breathtaking and I could stay up there for hours rain or shine. The pet spa in the mudroom was amazing and worked perfectly for our little dachshund!! The view of the ocean was perfect and I would happily recommend the monkey tree cottage to anyone looking to getaway
