We had no issues at all. It was very clean and had everything we needed to cook a few meals during our stay. We enjoyed the comfy beds and the outdoor areas were full of things to do. Very close to everything without being on a high traffic road. About 5 min walk to the beach, easy access to food lion, and within walking distance to many restaurants and an ice cream store. I drove from the house to the beach with my fishing gear in the early morning and couldn’t have asked for more. The heated flooring in the master bathroom was a game changer.

The cottage is a gem. Very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Plenty of kitchen items for cooking meals and well furnished throughout including washrooms – and the heated floor off the master bedroom was a fun surprise for a cold Christmas week! Perfect location for a walk to the beach and conveniently located across from a gift and and coffee shop with delicious breakfast options. Although there appeared to be ample beach items for use it was too chilly for our use, however, we did enjoy the bikes!
