Nice hideaway - perfect for family with or two couples
We were there for our beach wedding. The cottage was great for my spouse, daughter and son-in-law. I did end up having to get another place for other family because it’s not equipped for 10 adults. As the couch is for two people and 4 others would be on full bunk beds. It would be great for families with kids! Or two couples. It’s also not designed for more than 2 cars. You receive two parking passes with your rental but each additional is $100. It was very clean, well stocked and very quiet. Although the beach is close, there isn't much parking for the public beach. The host was very helpful with my last minute requests. If you are looking for a nice, clean relaxing getaway for a couple or small family and don't plan to spend a lot of time at the beach this would be great!

Relaxing Cottage Getaway
This cottage is beautiful and is located in such a cute neighborhood. The house is remodeled and comfortably sleeps 8-10. We were in town for my son’s baseball tournament, which was good and bad. We loved the location and the size of the house. There’s plenty of room to spread out. I didn’t find this aspect negative but it is about 25-30 minutes from the Sportsplex. I didn’t mind the drive since I loved the house and the peacefulness of the area. I’d definitely stay again!

Fantastic peaceful cottage
The cottage decor was comfy and unlike other tacky condos. It sleeps 10 comfortably. I loved how it was 20 minutes away from the city. Host was fantastic and answered every question. Great price for what you get. Definitely recommend for a relaxing vacation!!
