Kate’s Cottage was a lovely space
The house was clean, the linens were very nice, and the beds were impressively comfortable for a VRBO. The location is bayside on the main road, so any outdoor activity has traffic noise to contend with but inside was quiet. Easy beach access and not too crowded. Bayside has a boat launch on same block. I think we may have been the first guests since the property changed hands so there were some minor issues which were dealt with promptly and are unlikely to affect future guests. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every appliance imaginable. The only drawback was the exterior wooden deck was old with lots of splintered wood and jutting nails so I would avoid bare feet. Thanks to the new owners for a really lovely stay.
