Great cottage for family time

We were visiting for a weekend baseball tournament. It was so nice to have a clean quiet place for our time off the fields. The bay was just across the street and it was the perfect place to walk in the evenings. We hope to stay here again for our next tournament.

This was an excellent location. It was about a 30 second walk to a picnic table by the water with a beautiful view. Very friendly neighbors. The place was exactly as the description and pictures said it was. There were very helpful and prompt responses from the owner and check in/out couldn't have been easier or more convenient.
