We had such a lovely stay in Tangier. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and full of quaint charm. The entire town felt warm and welcoming, and it was easy to see what a close-knit community it is. Everyone we met was kind and friendly. One of the things I loved most was seeing people of all ages truly present with one another instead of walking around with their phones glued to their hands. People were talking, connecting, and enjoying their community, which made the whole experience feel especially peaceful and refreshing. There was also an adorable cat who wandered around the property and came by to say hello every day, which was such a sweet little bonus. Overall, it was a pleasant, memorable, and wonderful stay. When we visited, one of the ferries wasn’t running and our host helpfully called to let us know about options for getting to the island.
