Lily cottage is quaint and well equipped and very comfortable. A short walk from the ferry, it is convenient to everything.We were disappointed that the beach wasn’t really a beach that we could swim at, but obviously that’s not the house’s fault ;) and we enjoyed most everything else. I highly recommend!

Lilac cottage

It was neat, clean and had everything we needed. The parking was tight. The neighborhood was quiet. The yard on the right was very cluttered and messy - not at all attractive. My cousin owns and rents the other adjoining property , which was neat and cared for,
