We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The house was cute, clean and very well equipped. Host was very responsive and friendly. Property very pet friendly with fenced backyard. The only drawback we experienced was the local and street fireworks all weekend (over 4th of July) was very very loud so beware if your dogs are sensitive to this, or if you have PTSD.

Great place to watch the sunset !!!

It was great that they left a gift card for a pizza, and the snacks for us and our dog. The neighbors were great and it was quiet and peaceful there. The only things we were not impressed with were no lights worked in the kitchen area, except the stove light. It was a bummer that there was no screen on the doorwall or the one bedroom window, so we really could not get a good cross breeze in there. I also never received a phone number to call the owners and got use to always getting a number when we have booked through here. I had sent a message asking if we could check in earlier and never received a response. I have always been able to do that with the rentals, just not this one.
