We love it!!
We love this gem of a cottage. We have been coming here almost every summer for the last 6 years or so. My daughter is a teen now! As long as we can, we will keep coming back. It feels like a home away from home. Scott couldn’t be nicer. The location is amazing. I highly recommend this lovely cottage!

Amazing stay!
Owners were very responsive and accommodating. We were allowed both early check in and late check out without any glitches. The cottage is adorable and was very clean and organized. Lovely walkable neighborhood with nearby cafe, two restaurants, a gift store and of course the beach. Will definitely stay here again.
