Perfect for a duel family vacation!

Beautiful cottage near the beach! Perfect for two families with a total of 9 people. Floor plan was great and the cottage is well decorated. It had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen, board games to play with the kids and beach gear! The owner was attentive and very nice to work with. Thank you so much!
