This was perfect for our couples getaway and loved it was walking distance to the beach. The owner was always quick to reply and pleasant to deal with.

We had a great stay at this cottage! It was exactly as described, very clean, and had all the basic amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. It easily accommodated our group of 11 and the location was excellent, with the beach just a short walk away, making it very convenient.The only issue we experienced was with the internet connection. It stopped working partway through our second day, so we weren't able to use the TV as well. Other than that, everything was great, and we really enjoyed our time here. We would definitely consider staying again.
