The cottage itself seems to be in a nice neighborhood and we enjoyed its proximity to beach. Unfortunately, despite previous reviews we had some issues with cleanliness (which Elizabeth addressed promptly) and quietness. I was woken up on two of the three nights of our stay, first by someone talking in the ally and a bright motion sensor light shining into the room and second by loud music being played by people living in their car in the driveway next to the cottage's parking spot, thus, next to the cottage. We were told by the host this was a new development, but it was uncomfortable and it was not what I thought we were paying for.
