If you forget something, there is also a small market within walking distance. I appreciate having a washer and dryer on site. You can tell Jaime and Brian truly care for their cottage and guests and go above and beyond to ensure a nice stay. They respond quickly to communication and checked in with us along the way. We enjoyed lots of beach time and amazing sunsets, picking blueberries, Captain Mike's, bike rides, sitting by the fire and making s'mores, and finding cozy spots to relax and read. Overall, it was a perfect vacation and amazing hosts. Our family had a wonderful time and we came home relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you for everything! ##### Jen W. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ---
