We loved our four-day stay at Melanie's cottage. Friends had advised us to find a place with a parking spot (after they spent their vacation having to move their car around and getting expensive tickets), so the parking was a definite plus. The 100-year-old cottage was charming and felt safe, comfortable, and clean. Melanie responded very quickly to questions and even dropped off some extra towels for the beach. The location was fantastic--a few blocks to the beach, and coffee shops and good food in every direction. The bed and/or pillows could have been more comfortable, but that didn't keep us from enjoying our stay very much.
