Gorgeous cottage with all the amenities. Quiet and peaceful location with easy beach access. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick getaway. Hosts were great and hope to be back next summer! Thank you Sheila! 😊
Enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Everything true to listing. Friendly and prompt responses from the owners. Calm and beautiful location.
Only cons were a small step between the kitchen and bedrooms resulted in a few toe injuries, and you're expected to clean despite the cleaning fee.
Overall a great experience with lovely people.
