We loved our cottage! It had everything we needed plus was close to the beach. Six-year-old grandson had a ball, especially when we made s’mores at the fire pit. We would love to stay again.

Cottage Daze is as quant as the pictures. It is so clean and comfortable. The outside sitting areas are perfect for coffee in the morning or s'mores by the fire in the evening. A very convenient walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We will definitely rent this darling cottage in the future.

Very clean and comfortable

The property exceeded our expectations. It is really well maintained and clean. There were a lot of small touches we didn't expect, like firewood ready to use in the fire pit and toys to play with at the beach. Beau was very attentive and checked in with us proactively to make sure we were doing well. We would stay here again.
