Shabby Chic Fell Just a Little Short
Charming cottage. Great bonus space. Beautiful views and great, uncrowded beach. But we visited during a heat advisory and the air con really struggled! Downstairs was nice and cool but away from main living space.The space was relatively clean but there was year's worth of sand under the rugs!
