We had another great stay at the red cottage at the top of the beach. Our kids love the bedroom upstairs, and the primary bedroom/bath are very comfortable with a great view of the ocean. The downstairs refrigerator and freezer were broken, which was unexpected but not too big of a deal (since we'd stayed here before we were counting on having it), but unfortunately the upstairs fridge and freezer was also suffering from some problems, and as a result, all our ice cream melted, twice. We spent several days fiddling with it, thinking it was something we had done (it kept things cold, but not frozen...), then bought more ice cream, thinking we had fixed it...but, alas, when we let Chris know, we learned it was a known issue and wasn't the first time. We wish we had known to look out for this so we could have reported it right away, rather than fiddling with the settings and hoping to resolve it on our own. It did put a bit of a damper on the trip (no ice cream for 3 little girls at the beach is a bummer!) but we also appreciated Chris sending us a few items we left behind and understand these things aren't always under the owner's control. She is very responsive overall.
Overall, we love this part of Fernandina; the beach is practically private, it's so quiet, and the shark tooth hunting is excellent and a fun family activity. The pier, showers, and deck are all in great shape and the beach chairs and toys provided add a lot to the experience. One of our favorite things is stargazing from the two chairs out in the middle of the pier at night. I think we would return just for that alone! But it's a comfortable house, especially for a family of 5- with 7 (4 adults/3 kids), which we had at the latter half of our trip, it got a little tight. It's a special place and we hope to return.
