Mother/daughter getaway

We had an amazing stay at The Cottages. The property was immaculate and had many amenities that made our stay enjoyable. Use of the kayak, daily breakfast and the friendly staff were an added bonus. Located on the quieter end of the island with restaurants and activities nearby.
