This place is special in every way. Cozy comfortable house, gorgeous comfortable deck with plenty of sun and shade, ample sitting areas and large table. On a marsh with blowing grasses and filled with bird song. 5 minute walk to the beach!

The cottage was adorable and the outdoor space was absolutely perfect! For early June, especially in the evenings, we didn’t notice the lack of air conditioning on the first floor. This property was well-stocked with everything we could’ve needed and the owner was quick to respond. Thank you so much!
