Melanie's place is so charming! Its comfortable and cozy and everything you'd need for a weekend away. We loved the sunlight through all the windows, the plants, the exposed beams, the retro cottage feel with all the new amenities. The shower was fantastic, Melanie washes all the towels/blankets/sheets in a fantastic detergent (its so good smelling). You feel like you are in your own little cottage in the middle of the woods - it just has that charm. Everything is literally out your door. Walk to the beach, food, beer, what ever you want you got it! If you want to stay in and cook, its got everything you need to make a meal + more. Melanie is a great host as well, she made us feel welcome and was there for any questions or concerns (we didn't have any but she was nearby if we did). Thanks for sharing your updated and charming cottage. We love this one and would recommend it!
