The cottage was cute and comfortable. Everything was accurate, and very clean. We were able to get into the cottage earlier than expected and we really appreciated that! The communication was great. Bring your own water and food, there's not much to do around the area, which we did know. One of the pictures on the listing appears to be the Atlantic Beach, not part of core sound. The little private beach was really nice, I just wish it had been cleaner. There were bricks, metal pieces, and broken glass that you did not see in the pictures. There is also an abandoned house and Warehouse near the property. The abandoned warehouse says no trespassing, but people are constantly coming and going there. We saw/heard a couple teenagers smashing things in the warehouse, and when we looked that way, they got in their golf cart really quick and drove away. It seems to be the neighbors, which is no fault of the owners at this cottage. The parents would even drive their little kids out here to explore the warehouse, which we thought was weird. Other than that, we had a really nice time and for the most part it was very quiet. I wouldn't be back just because I'd like to be closer to the beach next time, which was about 50 minutes away. North Atlantic Beach & Emerald Beach were really nice!
If you are not bothered by the warehouse and the people coming and going, I'd say definitely go for it! The cottage really does have amazing views as stated in the other reviews.
