This place was fine for what we needed. It'd be great if there was a bigger sink to wash dishes other than the little sink in the bathroom.

Perfect for a weekend stay for two

This cottage was perfect for us and we loved the free bicycles provided which allowed us explore. Short walk to the beach and short bike ride to an awesome breakfast at the lighthouse cafe! Our host was super nice and communicative. We had a great time

Place is ok and the bikes are great! The biggest issue is that the drywall between units is so thin you hear everything from the other units.

The room was much smaller than I expected. The particular room I was in had a shower that you couldn't turn around in without hitting the sides, if I were a plus sized person I don't think I could even use the shower. The other rooms seemed much bigger. It is a quaint set up though. The bikes available for use were handy (watch which ones you pick), they made it possible for us to ride to Jerry's ( 5 mins) for ice cream and some groceries. Just a short ride down Periwinkle to other shops and food options such as Mud bugs and Lazy Flamingo.
