Anniversary Trip

This was an amazingly perfect place to stay! We loved the walk down to the beach, which was covered in sand dollars and purple shells. The bed was comfortable, and everything we needed was easy to find. It was a very well-thought out little cottage, and will will happily stay here again in the future.

We spent two nights in this wonderful cottage. It’s a very nice, well maintained and charming place. The hike down to the beach and along the coast was nice. We didn’t kayak because of the wind and tide times, but that is a nice option.
