wonderful location
We enjoyed the cottage location. We could walk to the park and farmers market on Saturday. We could ride bikes to the local shops. Eat next door at M&M's . Take the ferry over to Havelock and visit Beaufort, NC Debra Parks is an awesome Manager! She saved the day and brought lights back to the cottage so my husband could finish reading his book. She was warm and welcoming! Thanks so much, Debra.
