It was our second visit enjoying Beth's cottage! Being there for our second time was just as exceptional as our first visit last year! It is our new home away from home. We look forward to next year! Beth is an exceptional hostess with supplying everything that you need. Love her personal touches of farm fresh eggs, flowers from her garden, and dog bed/bowls/blankets. The cleanliness and decor are perfection..love the new deck/seating by the beach area. She is always there for you!

This is the best property we got over that past decade!! The location is just amazing with a breathtaking view on the bay. The cottage is equipped like never seen before with a level of details that is over the top! The cleanliness and the condition of the place is 11/10 and the communication with the owner Beth is irreproachable. I do recommend this place to whoever wants to spend good, relaxing and quiet time in a peaceful environment.

Sunset Bank Cottage is amazing! We loved this cottage - very quiet and peaceful with spectacular views. The cottage is decorated beautifully, very well stocked, and so inviting and comfortable. The landscaping and flowers are stunning and really added to the ambiance. Beth is wonderful host. She checked in to make sure we didn't need anything. One of the special touches was fresh cream for coffee and fresh farm eggs. Every single thing about this property is perfect. We highly recommend!
