We enjoyed our stay at the Holly Cottage. It was clean and close to everything. We walked to the beach, and also through the shops and restaurant of Carp. The owners were friendly and responsive to our requests. Thank you!

It was as was presented. Quiet neighborhood, so much better than staying at a hotel. Nice decor and everything needed for a short stay. Communication was great with the home owners. I highly recommend staying at this location. It made our summer vacation wonderful!
