Malvasia Cottage at Willow Creek Vineyard Unique Pied-A-Terre Getaway

8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (31)
"The location cannot be beat – Willow Creek winery is such a lovely venue and the environment is so warm and welcoming. The cottage was small but nicely appointed and very comfortable. A couple of things of note: no dishwasher, and no visible mitigation efforts to reduce the variety of insects/pests that were present in the home. This would have improved our experience and our stay tremendously. Nonetheless, we appreciated the communication with the owner and really had a lovely stay. Please...

"We had the pleasure of staying at Nana’s cottage recently. Julie was communicative, pleasant, and accommodating. The house itself was in good condition, and super cute, full of charm, and a wonderful beach house. Overall, it was very well stocked and one of the highlights for us was the screened in porch and close proximity to the beach. The neighborhood was lovely, and to be able to walk to the beach was great! "
