The cabin and location is awesome! We loved the salt water hot tub. The first night we added wood and didn’t check the temperature and it was too hot to go in. So we went in the next morning. The cabin needs pot holders but we got away with using a tea towel to pull hot pans out of the oven. Love the view from the cabin of the ocean. And the upstairs view was also so beautiful!!! A problem we had is waiting for a staff meeting to be done to rent the kayaks and bikes. The office was supposed to open at 10am but staff meeting didn’t get out until 10:50 so needed to wait 50 mins to talk to reception to book kayaks. The maintenance man did help us but he didn’t have a key to unlock kayak. After a 50 minute wait we got to go out on the ocean. I’m giving 5 stars because they gave us the rentals for free. The other problem we encountered was slow to no wifi for the entire 7 day stay. They couldn’t get someone to check it out because of the long weekend. We managed the week by going on the deck and getting coverage out there and also got better coverage upstairs. Loved everything. So beautiful there.
Cottage is quite old, architecturally interesting but so much dust and dirt in the upstairs loft - layers of dust on the ceiling fan blades they weren’t safe to turn on and cobwebs hanging from all the wooden beams, staff were very nice and helpful/attentive. We paid for the hot tub but sadly there was too much debris in it to feel safe.
The property was lovely. Kitchen fully equipped! Bathtub was huge! View of waterfront perfect. Best part was the private wood heated salt water hot tub. Just what we needed after a long day of visiting all the amazing sites.

An unbelievable experience
We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing stay. The location was clean, tidy, and exceptionally situated. The cottage came fully prepared, and truly felt like home. The check in was smooth, the run down was straight forward, and the hosts were welcoming and extremely inviting. Beyond pleased with our stay, and will be looking forward to future visits
