Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This home is perfect for two people wanting to escape to The Cove! The location was wonderful with just a brief walk to the ocean. The property was immaculately clean and well cared for. The back porch was a perfect place to enjoy coffee. The bed was very comfortable! The fireplace added the right amount of warmth in the evenings when the windows and doors were open. The check out process was incredibly simple, which we appreciated. We have visited The Cove many times over the years and have stayed in many different places (hotels and vacation rentals). This property was perfect for our anniversary celebration and we will definitely be back to this property when we are traveling without our son!
