My 2 elementary aged kids and I stayed for 3 weeks during July. Feeling safe was important to me, and we felt very safe and at home during our stay. Laura’s in-laws live in the main house which is attached to the cottage. We had very pleasant interactions with them. The whole family is very kind and thoughtful. I did not hesitate to ask if I needed something. They respond right away and solve any problems as soon as possible. Everything is functioning. The air conditioner worked great, my kids enjoyed Netflix, the electric burners heated quickly when I cooked. The beds were comfortable. The beach mat was useful and boogie boards were fun. The little courtyard space by the front door was a nice touch. The cottage is actually a converted garage but it doesn’t feel like it (or look at it at all, of course!) The WiFi was fine; the only thing was when I FaceTimed my husband, the connection was spotty. Parents of young children should take care when getting in and out of the car since many cars drive fast down the road.
