It’s just as good as it looks in the photos! Very clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the bikes and kayaks and everything that was provided for the beach..a cart, chairs, towels, cooler, umbrella and a shade canopy. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway!

Enjoyed this getaway with my husband. We arrived to find everything exactly as described! The owner has snacks, a bottle of wine and a few cold beers for you. There is sunscreen, a few toiletries if you need them & even cleaning supplies. The facility inside and out is very clean! We parked our rental car and rode the bicycles to the restaurants & Stump pass park where we walked the trail and went to beach. We used the wagon one day as well to go to the beach. You definitely won't be disappointed if you enjoy riding bikes, kayaking, walking and like a clean place to stay!

Beach lovers dream

This cottage was absolutely amazing! Was exactly as advertised, just come with your bag. Everything else is provided. If you choose to cook in, just get your groceries and everything else is there for you. Great addition are the bikes and kayaks, we so enjoyed having these items available. We will be back with more family to enjoy this picture perfect place. Great job Jen and Eddie!!
