A cozy weekend

This is our second time here. It is close to the beach and some very nice restaurants. Friendship trail is close as well and makes for a beautiful bike ride. Between cycling, walking and eating, the weekend flew by.

Perfect Anniversary Destination

We stayed here during the off season for our first wedding anniversary. It may not have been beach weather but the town was perfect. Everything is within walking distance and the community is super welcoming! Coming back to the cottage at the end of the day was welcoming as well. The cottage is homey and warm. We would 1000% stay here again!

An enjoyable getaway

We needed to get away for the weekend. This cottage was perfect. Close to the beach and close to some very good restaurants. The owner is very approachable and is a pleasure to work with. Cottage is clean and the gardens/property beautiful. The bar close by and neighbours were loud. However, I would not hesitate to return here.

Nice location

The location was great. Many restaurants and the beach was very close. The cottage was just ok. I found the beds to be very uncomfortable. The bedroom with the skylight was too bright. I want to sleep in on vacation. The garden was overgrown. I found too many personal items in the cottage. Decluttering would help.
