Cute and clean! Very convenient location despite not being ‘on the beach’ - it was a very short walk to the public access. 1 short block. We didn’t take the kayaks out but they looked to be in great shape.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay with just a few minor issues. Furnishings are very comfortable. Main TV was unwatchable due to a memory error, master bathtub didn’t drain properly, outdoor trash receptacle was insufficient for a week stay, and house had no numbers on it making it difficult to find, especially in the rain. Otherwise, it was a good stay, and we enjoyed our time.

Kate’s Cottage was a lovely space

The house was clean, the linens were very nice, and the beds were impressively comfortable for a VRBO. The location is bayside on the main road, so any outdoor activity has traffic noise to contend with but inside was quiet. Easy beach access and not too crowded. Bayside has a boat launch on same block. I think we may have been the first guests since the property changed hands so there were some minor issues which were dealt with promptly and are unlikely to affect future guests. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every appliance imaginable. The only drawback was the exterior wooden deck was old with lots of splintered wood and jutting nails so I would avoid bare feet. Thanks to the new owners for a really lovely stay.
