The cottage was really more like a home, the space was comfortable and eveything was updated with nice appliances and furniture. Pluses were the comfortable beds, the area with the folding chairs, the gazebo overlooking the ocean, the relatively private beach, the access to paddle boards, kayaks, and the beach was very walkable and scenic. Also, Valerie was wonderful and very gracious and responsive. The minuses were the bugs when the sun went down (make certain all doors are completely closed at night), the extremely bumpy roads, splinters on the deck, and there is a new house going up literally 30 feet from this house (our hosts were very gracious in scheduling workers around our time), but there will be less privacy once that house goes up. Overall, this was a very nice property, very quiet, very private, the beach was very nice, and you can snorkel right off the beach and around the islands nearby.
