Not at all as described
Dishes, pots and pans were 50 years old, plus. Sofa sleeper was spoiled and full is rodent droppings. Toilet was low and loose. Mattress was lumpy and soft. We were not able to share beach or pier, as described. Very disappointing!

The cabin was perfect for one or two people, and my dog enjoyed herself as well. And the property mangers are extremely helpful and responsive.

Cute Vintage Cottage
Great little place to stay. Wonderful porch for bug free meals and morning coffee. Very private side yard with a fire pit (lots of places to get firewood close by) and a shared beach with access to the water.
