Beautiful small cottage

My husband, my kids and myself went and stayed for the week at the property and I can’t explain to you just how much we loved it. It was a nice small little cottage and it was smaller than we had anticipated I guess you could say, but it was absolutely perfect, it was so close to the beach that we were able to just walk out and see the ocean without even walking of of the property. My kids had the best time ever and my three-year-old keeps asking when we’re going back to the beach house because she loved it that much my only complaint is that when we reported the air-conditioning was having problems nobody came to help take care of it. However, we were able to figure out the issue incorrect ourselves. This is definitely a place that we are looking to stay at again 💕

Down by the Sea

Great location! Very clean and new on the inside. Loved watching the sunset on the crows nest.
