The garden cottage was as advertised! We had a lovely time exploring the neighborhood on walks. I couldn't believe the variety of flowers and trees growing in everybody's gardens. The neighborhood seemed very quiet, and was within a 10 minute walk of the Wharf & Boardwalk. We loved the set up of the living quarters -- cute design elements, lovely hardwoods, very comfortable futon, and neatest "soft tub"/ hot tub on the side deck. Coffee, cups, a corkscrew, a knife and cutting board (to cut up the delicious lemons from the tree right outside), creamer, and a microwave were all nice conveniences for eating breakfast and snacks in the the cottage. I was very happy when Carla responded quickly with our request for an iron!

The area itself is beautiful! Our favorite activities were kayaking in the bay with Venture Quest, eating an acai bowl at Cafe Brasil, visiting Natural Bridges State Park, and eating at the Crow's Nest on a Wednesday night -- just the night for the sailboats to be out on the bay en masse.
