The cottage was a perfect getaway in the perfect location! Walking distance to the ocean and a lovely, safe community to explore. Our morning walks and sunset strolls were exactly what we hoped. The house was clean and cozy - it took us a bit to figure out the fireplace but otherwise lovely. The kitchen is well stocked as are the bathrooms. Some linens could use replacing - just a little worn/discolored. We replaced the smoke detector battery in the upper hallway and the thermostat batteries but that’s just general upkeep, you wouldn’t know it was necessary unless you were there, happy to contribute! There are a lot of stairs to the beach, however, a very short drive down the road and there is public parking and easier access. The only thing really lacking was personal touches/information like this. It would be helpful to future visitors to have these little notes in the binder - alternative beach access, top favorite eateries, and other local notes. We are frequent vacation renters so we figured it out, but for those new to the experience it would be a nice touch. SUPER pet friendly house - we didn’t bring our pup but she would have loved it and you would never know dogs stayed here - so clean! Hope to be back someday.
