We had the absolute best week ever! Wonderful house that we fell in love with! Everything we needed for cooking meals with a well stocked kitchen. The access to the beach was perfect for an easy walk and hauling our fishing gear. Will definitely be back!

Had a great time fishing was not good but oh well. Every thing was as described but there needs to be a flood light on the front of the house and the back of the house. There also needs to be little lights on the walk way at the porch and the outside shower. It is very dark walking in from car or the beach but we love the cottage.
