We had a lovely time unplugging for a week for our anniversary. The bed is as comfortable as ours at home, the stars at night are incredible, fireplace was a nice touch. Highly recommend.
To start with you cannot beat this location. The views are spectacular even when it is foggy. Secluded and quiet. When we first arrived we were greeted with a bag of trash at the front door. When we went to use the oven it was very dirty and had left over parchment paper inside the oven. Upkeep is needed on this property. The bathroom switchplate was hanging off the wall. There was mold on the shower. The quilt on the bed had a stain. The entire place could use a good dusting. For the cost this location should be in excellent shape and it really is a pity as the location shines. I was issued a partial refund after notification. But if you like a clean and kept up location perhaps this is not for you.

The cottage was beautiful, well equipped and has an amazing view.
It is small, 2 people fit comfortably. Some small complaints that really weren’t an issue for
Us as we only spent 4 days.
The futon couch was uncomfortable to sit on, especially for 2 people.
The outside table was pretty well done in, as is to be expected for outside furniture on the
Coast.
And if you like to watch movies at night you may want to bring some favorite DVD’s.
There are many to choose from but they are pretty old and the TV has minimal channels.
Lots of books are available though!
Will return
