My family loved the access to the beach, the quiet neighborhood, and all the useful kitchen amenities. The cottage was clean and cozy. It comfortably held our family of 6. The kids loved the double bunkbed and the park just down the street. My wife and I loved that we could walk right into the shops in town. A relaxing stay!

Otherwise was clean and a nice stay.house, th
