The location is the best thing about this rustic cottage. Sitting on the terrace at any time of the day and peeking at the nearby lake is a really treat. It's also great that it's close to a nice ocean beach, parks and restaurants. The first time we went there was June 2020 so the seclusion was wonderful. This time we were able to explore the area a bit more, and that was also great. NB: the road/driveway to the cottage is in pretty bad shape, and the cottage itself can use a few upgrades. The walk to the lake, although short may also be tricky for young kids or less sure footed folks.
