Great property in a perfect getaway location, we enjoyed the sun filled patio, spent some time on the waterside dock, and fully utilized the complete kitchen. Even during the rainy day(s), we loved the beach cottage theme inside with a good book. Saturday night was a hit, a quick walk to the famous 'Shore Club' dance hall, we had a fantastic time and will be back!

Thank you so much for your feedback, we’re very happy you found it to your liking and my wife wants to say you and your quest were awesome in how you treated the cottage and the condition you left it in. Looking forward to seeing you again Tim & Christine
We enjoyed our stay however there was a musty smell was noticeable as soon as we walked into the rental. We ended up buying a scent plug in to try to help with the smell. The other issue was bedding. The rental said it slept 5 people but there wasn’t enough blankets or sheets for our party of 4.
Enjoyed our weekend with friends at this centrally located cottage. Nice to sit dockside and enjoy a beverage. Thank you for the clean and welcoming space. that had everything we needed. We'll be back.
