Cozy cottage with beautiful coastal decor. Thoughtful touches throughout that made our brief visit very comfortable. Bed and mattress were great we slept soundly. Air conditioning was fantastic after walking around in the heat! Very nice location as you can easily walk to restaurants and local shops within minutes. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.
