Board game family time

We had a wonderful time at this perfect house with such cute architectural details like high ceiling, cute molding, and stained glass windows. We enjoyed afternoons playing games. We used the games in the kitchen nook along with some we had brought. The ac worked fabulously. The location was close enough to the beach even in the heat advisory we could walk with the the 5, 8, & 12 year old. Thanks for offering for rent such a fabulous house.

Good location

Overall the home was just right for our stay. The road construction made it difficult to get in and out but other than that Charming Cottage is in a very good location.

Weekend Getaway

The location was great for us. Perfect walking distance to the beach and hot spot local restaurants. We brought the family down for little weekend break and we had a wonderfully time. We're looking forward to doing it again next year.
