It was spacious and very clean. Great outdoor space with chairs and grill, as well as a rack for drying bathing suits and towels! They even left a tide chart on the fridge. The only constructive criticism I have is that the cottage can be hard to locate as the number is not clearly marked from the street. An easy fix would just be a simple sign that says “parking for \[address\]” in the parking area. I texted for help when I could not locate it and they promptly replied with clarified directions which was great. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Serena J.
