Cute, clean cottage in a great location. Very walkable to the pier and village shops/restaurants. There was quite a bit of noise at night since there is a restaurant right behind it.

Place was cute and very close to shops and restaurants. It was close to the "Beach" but I would not call it beachfront. You can't see the beach. And even at low tide not much of a beach available. Otherwise it worked for what we needed.

Lovely seaside cottage with fully stocked kitchen. Thoughtful touches like throw blankets, cottage history, and fun towel shapes! We enjoyed the patio and the porch! We loved walking to all our favorite village spots. A waterfront sitting spot was steps away for great ship viewing and sunsets over the bridge.
