This was a perfect little get away for our family of 4. There was a lovely dock where we could keep our boat tied off and easy access to the bay. The cottage was in a very nice area and had a lot of high end finishes. The beach was a short drive when we took a break from fishing. The large grass yard was an unexpected nice surprise- it was perfect for yard games. The host was quick to respond when we had questions. I highly recommend this refined little cottage and property!
