2/10 Terrible

Retro, vintage
Nothing in the house appears newer than 1940. The bed sheets and blankets are threadbare, pilly, and appear to be goodwill castoffs. The few pans to cook with were aluminum with lots of wear and the utensils were thrown into a box in the cupboard and were old, various metals, all with the finish worn off. There was no hot water for the children’s baths. My grandson has health issues and we could not risk using the cooking, eating and other things in the space. The walk to the beach was delightful. We had booked 3 nights and unfortunately felt we had to leave as soon as we could. We left by 9:30 AM. Very disappointed.

Very intimate cottage setting, lovely beach scenery, walking distance to the beach, feet away from hearing the crash of the waves. Short drive to grab whatever you have forgotten or need to enhance your stay in this tiny home. Great location to unplug, energize, and bond with your family. You can create the quality time you miss out on in the world today, you will not have the distractions of television, internet, or gaming.
