You can not beat the location of this cottage. My 4-person family spent about a week there and did not get in the car once. We walked to the water 2x per day, coffee and food, grocery store, the aquarium, a museum, farmers market, and parks. The street is quiet but half a block down is a row of victorians converted to restaurants, salons, etc. (the pizza place was outstanding.) the house itself is well-outfitted for guests, refreshingly minimal (uncluttered), but has everything you need in the kitchen, linens, essential supplies like TP, soap, etc. no tv which was fine with us, fast internet. I especially loved that it was spotlessly clean. The only thing we were not expecting is that there is only one bedroom with a door. The other two have curtains. Fine visually, but with small kids it's nice to put them down for bed and know we won't wake them up. The upshot: We would definitely stay there again.
