The view was amazing. The rental provided ample options to relax and take in the harbor views. Yet it felt very private. The cottage offered a rustic feel and the decor was charming. The heating units within the home were limited to the downstairs which left some cool mornings as we rolled out of bed, but worked fine given the fall temperatures.

4 Generation Vacation

We ended up having a family reunion with friends and family members joining us for meals and visits. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy the amazing scenery. The only downsides were that the only bathroom was downstairs, which was a little tough for my 90 year-old dad, and when the heatwave hit, some of the upstairs rooms’ windows didn’t function very well. So it was pretty hot up there. Most everyone had gone home by then, and the living room stayed fine. The couch was comfy and there were lots of fans.So if you look at it as going “up ta camp” everyone agrees that it was just about perfect.
