The location to the beach is excellent, which is why we chose this cottage. The property has 3 cottages on it and this cottage was the furthest from the beach. The beach is private for the property. The shore is very rocky so we wore water shoes into the water. The cottage comes with 2 beach chairs that are shared with the 2 other cottages and were being used each time we went to the beach so we ended up buying chairs for our use. As far as the cottage itself, on the plus side, it was clean, the bed was comfortable, the WiFi worked well, and the mini-split did a fairly decent job of keeping the place cool (the temperature most days was in the 80’s and 90’s). And we did enjoy reading the information left about the family that built the house and still owns it. On the downside, the house and most of the furnishings are old and tired. A chair was broken (my husband fixed it) and the toaster was rusted. Even the brooms in the cottage’s only closet had seen better days. I’m sorry to give such a lukewarm review to this cottage as we really wanted to like it. But when you can’t open the windows because of the holes in the screens, it does take away from your enjoyment of being there.
