Great Location, Cozy Cottage

LOVED this cottage! Located just a couple of blocks from the beach, close to The Crab Trap, easy access to shopping by the pier. Adorable inside, had everything we needed, even a couple of puzzles which were great for the evenings once we returned. Beds were really comfy (and I'm picky about those), AC worked like a charm for the unusually warm days we had in Feb. Melanie was quick to respond to messages. Had a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again next visit.
