If you have a problem with climbing 54 stairs to get to the front door, this place is not for you. If you want to stream any tv, forget about it. The wifi is non existent, it is just the location. With that said, the view is fantastic! The place was clean and very roomy.We enjoyed our stay,

You’ll truly be amazed at the location/view here. Follow all the details carefully. There are many stairs to haul your items. This is clearly stated. The cottage is good for a couple - okay room, but not huge. Consider bringing foldable outdoor chairs for the deck. Note; the outdoor space above the water is very narrow - just fits a chair. No table on that deck. Open windows and doors feel like you’re outside though. Clearly stated the kitchen has no cooking availability - only a microwave. Easy to work that out. There’s no cutting board, no knife larger than small paring knife. Some condiments in cupboard. Keurig and pods were provided when we asked. Note: the bed is quite high.. very comfortable. Also note: if noise disrupts your sleep you might be bothered by the constant foghorn. This place is one-of-a-kind. Close to trails, small towns to walk, beaches. Great local seafood.

Shari, thank you for painting such an honest picture of Bayside Cottage. The details you shared, from the narrow deck and the high bed to the foghorn at night, are exactly the kind of things that help the right guests fall in love with this place and help others set their expectations honestly. Your note about the cutting board and a larger knife is well taken, and we're looking into getting those basics stocked. We're glad the view, the trails, and the seafood delivered. Thank you for taking the time to write something so thoughtful and specific.
