This seaside cottage was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, condiments, and coffee necessities. Everything was very clean, well kept, and comfortable. The host was quick to communicate and was very invested in making our stay the best it could be. The driveway is challenging to enter/exit but not unusual for the area - just take your time and have a spotter!
