Nice and bright. For a small cottage, the space is laid out ideally for two couples or a family that needs some space.

We absolutely loved this home. Its location is perfect for lots of great local eateries, shopping, and the beach. Very close to Point Market, where you can grab whatever you need including some yummy paninis and burritos! (Don't forget cash!) The hosts were quick to respond if we needed anything, the home was incredibly colorful- and full of character. The rooms were comfortable, the furniture was comfortable and cozy. Coffee, tea, full pantry with all the spices you could possibly need for cooking. Lots of pans, and silverware/dishes for all your kitchen needs! The patio had plenty of seating & a great fire place for evening relaxing while enjoying the outside. The bathroom was fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and lotions. There's even a Bidet, with heated seat! There's a great selection of books as well! We didn't bring towels because it did say there were beach towels, but 4 of us stayed and there were only two beach towels. Same with the bathroom- there was only 2 bath towels total, for 4 adults but- that's not really a deal breaker we do usually bring our own just forgot this trip. No big deal there though! We would absolutely stay here again!
