Cozy Beach Getaway

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. He commented how much he did not want to leave. Although the weather was rainy, we had a comfortable place to stay between sightseeing, shopping and dining out. We are even thinking of returning with his brother and sister in the near future.

Great location !

Super cute cottage in a great location! The only thing that prevents this from being 5 stars is the bed is not comfortable. But maybe that’s just me …? Also the amount of chores that need to be done at checkout despite paying a cleaning fee is interesting. However , the location is perfect and the property is adorable. Would stay here again
