Our stay was good just wish they would update their photos of the place,alot of broken blinds that wasn’t shown in the pictures,I would have never booked if the photos would have been more accurate but I understand its a older place and a beach house that just needs more updates for the price you pay

Weekend get away

We enjoyed staying at the cottage. It was perfect for a nice long weekend. The only suggestion we have would be adding a blind to the door to the back porch from the bedroom for privacy.
