Cove Cabin Retreat, Private and Peaceful

10/10 Excellent
"This cabin was the perfect little retreat! It was clean and well kept. Angie was super nice and always quick to respond to any questions. Great location, it had a short nature trail behind the cabin, and it was about a mile away from the little black sands beach. My phone didn’t have any service there so the wifi was greatly appreciated. There’s only a mini fridge, which worked well for me as a solo traveler but might be a good heads up for anyone traveling in a group."
