We had a lovely time at this quaint cottage, they even had fresh flowers for us. We stayed with my parents and our two young kids and it never felt too crowded. It was perfect for going to the beach- a very quick walk. It was clean and no musty smell that can be common in old cottages. They have three window ACs which struggled on some very hot days but otherwise did well. Only qualms are: The two grills in the common area were very rusted and falling apart. It was a mess trying to use them. And unfortunately we had to since we couldn’t afford to heat up the kitchen. Management did say they would look into it. I would appreciate more non toxic cooking options. There was one tiny ceramic pan, one SS pot and a couple glass baking dishes but otherwise everything else was Teflon and black plastic.

This was a fabulous rental for us for the Gus Macker weekend. The cottage was so close to the beach, and all of the courts. The listing was perfect for our family of four. Two boys slept upstairs, there were fans and air conditioning up there. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans and kitchen supplies. The refrigerator is very large. The washer and dryer in the house were perfect for our stay.
