May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short walk to beach This cottage was great for staying close to the beach, stores, restaurants, etc. Everything was clean and stocked with all the essentials. The only downside is how close it is to the main road and how much traffic noise you hear in the main bedroom. Expect to be woken up very early every morning by the sound of cars driving. They are also building two new homes on the street almost directly in front of this house. Nothing the owners can control but just something to be aware of when booking. They start construction right at 7am since the quiet hours run from 10pm-7am. That is not an exaggeration either. The worker literally started hammering or drilling right at 7am every morning. The house itself is fantastic and once construction is completed then that shouldn't be a problem but it is something to be aware of when booking. ##### Megan B.
