The cottage was perfect for our surprise, sisters trip. There is plenty of indoor seating, kitchen ware & outdoor patio space. Beds were comfortable and the house maintained it's cool temps throughout the stay. We greatly appreciated the privacy and ability to sit outside and visit without feeling like we were disturbing the neighbors. Thank you for sharing your home!

The cottage was clean and neat. Furniture was NOT garage sale quality! We loved the seclusion and amenities were a quick drive. At first I questioned having to bring our own bed linens and towels but then understood with the water situation. I can understand the stress of a washer and dryer. This home away from home is a bargain!

Fall get away

This is the nicest cottage. Tucked away and very private and peaceful. Host was easy to contact and gave us great advice on what to bring. Would rent this for sure again!! Great hideaway and suggest it for Fall as well. The Island was great to see without the hussle and bussle of summer!!
