Beautiful Sea View of Otters

An unbelievably beautiful location and property. Luxurious, lots of little touches to make it feel even more so. Very clean, very well appointed, everything you could need. Walking distance from town for groceries and eating. Fantastic sea view of otters through the amazing front windows. Can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful little cottage by the sea

Loved the location! loved the house! Very quaint and the architecture was older style which we loved. Everything was good. The only thing that I would say is to make it clear that the living room and bedroom are in one room as opposed to 2 bedrooms as the description said. I did wonder about the pic that showed a couch and bed but to me it could have been confirmed in the description. Otherwise very cute little place.
