"Even though we were only there for a weekend, two nights, the beds were excellent. Everything was provided. We ate out so we didn’t use any of the kitchen utensils, but it was fully furnished. The bikes were in good shape. There were canoes downstairs a screened in patio this cottage was everything you could’ve hoped for in a vacation rental.

"We had an absolutely amazing stay! This house exceeded our expectations and was the perfect place for our beach getaway. The view is incredible—honestly even better than the pictures—and waking up to it every morning was one of our favorite parts of the trip.The pool was fantastic and gave us the perfect place to relax when we weren’t at the beach. And the easy beach access was such a huge plus! Being able to go back and forth between the beach, pool, and house so easily made the entire weekend feel effortless.The home itself was beautiful, spacious, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we needed. There were plenty of great spaces to gather as a group while still having room to spread out and relax.We made so many wonderful memories here and genuinely didn’t want to leave. This is one of those places you immediately start talking about coming back to before the trip is even over. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
