Having grown up in Madison, it was fun to stay in one of the original beachhouses I remember from my childhood, and to show my grandchildren around town. The kids particularly loved swimming and exploring the rocks and tidal pools - just as my siblings and I did so many years ago! ##### Elizabeth N.

The cottage was quite possibly the best we’ve ever stayed in. So clean and had everything we could need. Even on the warmer days we were never uncomfortable, it gets a great breeze! The porch is heavenly, as is the view from the upstairs master. Our boys had a blast exploring the rocks and tide pools and our baby girl was content to play on the sand or the beautiful lawn. Just a short walk to the park and Surf Club which we did everyday and great restaurants so close as well. Hosts were super great and so kind, even offered to come bring the barrels to the street for us on garbage pickup day. We had so much fun and made the best memories! Been staying in Madison for decades and we hope this can be our new go to cottage for many years to come!! Love, the Franzosas ##### Brianna F.
