A beautiful and beautifully furnished little house with everything we needed. The back deck is a treat. The beach is only 5-10 minutes on foot as are restaurants and shops, but it still feels very quiet. Our dog was welcome and enjoyed it very much!

Thanks Adam, you were a wonderful guest and are welcome back anytime!
This little house is perfect in every way. Clean and cared for and well appointed in every respect. Micheal was always available and responsive. There was nothing lacking in the kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. And the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood was unbelievable. And, I have to add, the personal touches - the Christmas trees and lights, the Christmas plates and cups - all pointing to thoughtfulness and care. What a treat. We will be back again.

Our cottage has a large side yard which makes it more private and gives lots of extra space to play outdoor games and relax, coupled with the large deck makes the outdoor space really great.
