My family & I had a great weekend stay at this cottage. The location was wonderful having the basin beach right across the road & the sunset was beautiful. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Very clean too. The beds were comfortable also. Loved that we could walk to both beaches easily. Would recommend. Our 4 year old loved his birthday weekend.

We loved our stay! The house was extremely clean and well appointed. Friendly, quiet neighborhood and perfect walking distance to beaches. Don’t miss the spectacular sunset views down the path across the street from the house.
