This place is a lovely gem! It is thoughtfully outfitted with everything you can imagine-- the hosts have made sure you have what you need for all kinds of relaxation or adventure. For runners and bikers, this is a perfect location next to the Legacy Trail-- we thoroughly enjoyed biking during our stay. We also saw dolphins everyday from the porch! Truly wonderful.

Host was very accommodating and kind. The cottage was cozy and well kept. Waking up with the ocean breeze off the river and the quiet neighborhood was so relaxing. I would highly recommend!
