The Cove was the sweetest little surprise we could have gotten during these unfortunate times! It's a hidden gem that we can't wait to explore again. Our little casita was perfect for two of us and a new puppy. The grounds had all kinds of different areas to sit and lounge, and it was very pet friendly, even including a pet clean up area. We brought charcoal to grill out in the patio, but just make sure to bring your own silverware, cups, and paper plates to eat. The wifi signal wasn't the greatest, but I am somewhat glad because it forced me to put my phone away. Definitely bring bug spray because they mosquitos out there were hungry! As far as the lake access, it's just a short walk from the casita. I was very glad that I brought Chacos to walk down to the lake because it's very rocky, no way my bare feet could have made it to the water! There are complimentary chairs, kayaks, canoes to use on the lake as well. Mayra was a great hostess and was quick to respond to all of our needs! We'll be back soon!
