Our closest public beach is located at Oak Street and North Shore Drive. This is a five-minute walk from our house. You can see this when mapping our address.

I have rented our cottage for over 18 years. As a retired teacher and a Ph.D. student, I am available 24/7 to assist with any needs you may have. I am always happy to help with restaurant suggestions, activities, etc. Of course, our favorite time is enjoying the cottage with our friends and family from Illinois.

With four bedrooms, three on the main level and one downstairs, a brand new Master Bathroom (2015) on the main level, and a shower bathroom on the lower level, our cottage is the perfect location to get together with family and friends.
