My boyfriend and I stayed for a two night trip. The place is so spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything you might need! We enjoyed the living room space to wind down at the end of the day & pop the tv on. The walk to the beach is so quick & it’s amazing once you get there. Jay and Lisa kept us up to date and gave us all the information we needed. I can be nit picky about rentals sometimes, but this cottage was hands down the best, no issues. Definitely hoping to come back again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bbe0bdb9-9dfd-4cd1-aeb8-8e3c28f73887-1752942323253.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emma A.

Everything was as described. Location was superb, the small beach is a block away and at night with the windows open you could hear the waves. The cottage had everything we needed, and was well stocked with cleaning supplies. I wish we had better weather as I would have loved the chance to use the grill and sit out on the patio. Communication with the owners was outstanding and they were very quick to reply. 10/10 would recommend! ##### Andrea Z.
