We stayed at this home over the Christmas holiday to celebrate with family that live in the area. The open concept of the living room, dining room, and kitchen made entertaining and togetherness very easy. We hung stockings on the mantle of the fireplace (with care, of course!), and enjoyed cooking the Christmas dinner in the well-stocked kitchen (gas stove/oven, large french door refrigerator, counter microwave, dishwasher, and plenty of plates, silverware, pots, pans, etc.). The two bedrooms (one king room, the other with two twin beds) were perfect for my wife and I and our two boys. Plenty of books to read and puzzles to put together (we made a 1000 pc travel puzzle donation as well!). Our hostess/host were available for anything needed and even offered to bring over an additional table for Christmas dinner (my father-in-law brought one with him instead, but the offer was very appreciated). I was concerned with only having one bathroom (an additional half bath would have been nice), but fortunately it was not a problem. The cottage has a washer/dryer, so overpacking is not necessary as one can launder clothes as needed. As it was December, the weather was a bit too nippy for visits to the beach, but we did note that the house was just up the street (we did drive down there just to see it) and very convenient for those who are looking for to spend time there. As our holiday was so very much enjoyed by the entire family, I feel confident that we will be spending more time in this quaint cottage. Thank you for making it available!
