We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Our host thought of everything we might need, from local fresh roasted coffee beans and grinder, to binoculars to watch the local wildlife, to umbrellas on the deck during the sunny afternoon and a fire pit for the cooler evenings after the sunset. The home feels new and clean and fresh. I enjoyed sitting and watching the ocean from the family room and appreciated that local restaurants and the black sand beach were within walking distance. The ocean feels closer than it looks in the photos and you can listen to the waves from the deck. We will definitely return in the future!
