Owners did all they could to make us feel at home. We had everything we needed. The cabin is more rustic style and does have a lot of cobwebs and could use a deeper cleaning, but overall, great experience and would go back. ##### Michelle B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer R. 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The brick pathway is uneven, so be careful. We had trouble turning on the downstairs shower water, then the lights started dimming lol! Created some excitement. We wished the downstairs curtains were easier to open so we could have enjoyed the beautiful view more. The house is in a quiet, beautiful location! Being right on the water was most enjoyable! ![Gorgeous spot to watch the sun set.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7b343ae8-cb9d-4e60-9a3b-e90e7b710c6d-1756868287787.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beautiful view!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/276a4e7e-0cdf-4308-a327-dc597f916744-1756868316292.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Front deck.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6fdbe206-3224-490d-8bc0-b4ee18ad1327-1756868322361.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer R. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle M. 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### I hope to return My family thoroughly enjoyed this cottage on the water. It's in a great central location close to everything. The owner was on site and practically offered the shirt off his back with anything we might want or need. This unit came well equipped with bug spray, citronella candles, family games, outdoor toys. It is thoughtfully furnished and decorated nicely. We enjoyed the kayaks, SUP, jumping off the nearby cliff, but mostly sitting and looking out at the view. ##### Danielle M.
