This is a LOVELY little cottage. It's clean and very comfortable. I loved the little patio with the hammock. I wish that I could have spent more time in the area rather than all the sightseeing- as this cottage is a great little get-away! Michelle is very generous with beach equipment: chairs, bikes, little boards, even a towel. There was even a dock for my iPod in the cottage and a yoga mat, block and belt (she read that I liked to practice). Overall it was really quiet. One morning I could hear the neighbors in back wake up and talk, but it wasn't too disturbing. There was a great little restaurant that I went to twice for coffee and breakfast/lunch and more that I didn't get to explore. And the walk to the beach (very close!) and along the boardwalk was perfect. Michelle has tomato plants and lettuces growing in front of the cottage. It's a really special oasis.
