We were in town for my son’s golf tournament at Cape Royal, which was located close to Allison’s place. We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! It is such a cute place and definitely had everything we needed! My husband and son enjoyed some time on the kayaks, and we had everything we needed to cook a meal at the cottage! It was well stocked for our family of 4! We will definitely be back!

Love this place!!!!!

Fully renovated just as described on the listing. Super clean and very organized. We were able to bring our boat and keep it in the water behind the house. This place is so cute and cumfy. My husband and I come to this little town at least twice a year. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to come back to stay here when we visit the area on our next trip. The only thing I would want to let other guests know is that the street the house is on is a one way. If you're coming with your boat on a trailer you can drive straight in no problem but you cannot make a U turn... you have to back out all the way down the street. We ended up leaving our truck and trailer parked at the marina where we dropped in the boat behind the blue dog grill restaurant. No biggy at all!!!! It was only a 5 minute walk back to the house.Love love love this place!! It really was amazing.
