Elise is a fantastic host. She returns emails promptly and follows up queries. We loved staying in her cottage. It is close to the beach and Beach 16 cafe as well as other Rye amenities like the Hot Springs and Gunnamatta Horse Rides. The house was exactly as described, well stoked with basics and toasty warm in winter. We particularly loved the back deck and hope to return in summer to enjoy the warm evenings as the kids play on the trampoline. We had a fantastic weekend away and I would highly recommend staying at Elise's cottage.
