This is a wonderful place to stay. Brenda was a great host, really helpful, straightforward and clear in communication and quick to respond to questions. The place is brand new and gorgeous! Absolutely spotless and so cute in decor and arrangement. We booked for a bachelorette vacation so we just wanted a place to relax, have good conversation and a comfy place to rest. The cottage provided all of that and more. Our host left us all the information we needed as well as bonus amenities that went above and beyond. The weather on the weekend was terrible so I can't speak to the cottage in relation to the beach, we were hoping to spend time there but it didn't work out. Either way we hunkered by the beautiful fireplace and had a great time. All the beds were comfortable and we didn't want for anything while we were there. Checking in and out was simple since the door has a code lock which Brenda sets up in advance. I would book this home again without question if we were in the area.
