We had a wonderful stay at this beach cottage. Although it is cozy, the living area is very comfortable. We appreciated the gas stove which put out a lot of heat. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware, utensils and dinnerware you need. The hot tub was clean and relaxing. The entire house was clean, for that matter. Karen was very communicative. We would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!

the house was fine for a couple of nights. the beds are very comfy, living room cozy, great big TV, and the hot tub was a plus, the kitchen has everything you need but items are not modern and pots/pans are not clean. there was an issue getting the heating going, the front yard was a mess, alarm for the septic tank went off in the middle of the night (every night!) and the street had some house bldg construction, noise that did not allow us to sit outside, the beach was great, just down the street, 10-15min walk to restaurants on the beach. the owner was attentive. I would not stay here again.
