Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cottage was pleasant, clean, and well stocked with towels, refrigerator, kitchen equipment. The beach was just a short walk from the cottage. Our flight was delayed. I called to leave a message that we would be checking in late. I left 3 voicemails but did not receive a call back even when we got lost and could not find the cottage. We were not informed about the pool until the following day when we bumped into a staff member. I would stay there again despite minor snaffus.

Cute little cottage walking distance from the beach. There was no toaster and not enough utensils for our family of 6. When we realized it, no one was in the office to ask.
