The kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, microwave, toaster, a coffee station, and all of the kitchen basics. While we supply pots, pans, dishes and utensils, we do not supply any reusable basics such a oil, spices, or condiments for safety concerns.

We welcome well-behaved, adult dogs and ask that you clean up after them outside and kennel them (provided by you) if left alone in the cabin. There is a pet cleaning fee of $50 per pet per stay. If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know the weight and breed so we can pre-approve their stay with you.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean. Communication with the staff was fast. Air conditioner in every room. Best of all you park right in front of the cottage so getting stuff in and out of the truck was a breeze. We would definitely stay there again.

Convenient and cute

This place is within walking distance of everything we needed. It’s not fancy, but we didn’t go to Port A to hang out in a cabin all day. Easy walk to the beach, several restaurants, and a convenience store. And the communication with the host was great! We’d definitely stay here again!
