Our trip
We had a wonderful time. The property was as expected with great accommodations
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute, clean, and comfortable cottage by the beach. Great location-in walking distance to beach and short drive to Ding Darling, Jerry’s grocery store, shops, and restaurants. Hosts are super friendly and responsive to our questions. Great stay all around. We will be back.
