Cozy cottage
We had so much fun here! Thank you for sharing your clean, cozy cottage. We loved that the beach was a 10 minute walk (or short drive with gear and kids), a best bakery was a 5 minute walk away, we were close to so many fun things and a great screened-in porch at the house. We had a great family vacation. We can’t wait to come back!
