The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. The staff was friendly and the location was great! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the cleanliness of the room upon

nice place to stay
staff was very friendly and helpful. rooms were spacious and the pool was nice. very short walk to the beach. wi.fi however took me back to 1990 and the good old days of AOL. but if internet is not your main concern then i definitely recommend this place.

The room was in bad condition
The doors came off the cabinets, and overall the room was old and needed to be remodeled
