The cottage and location are wonderful. Matthew was very accommodating and very quick to respond with any questions. He is also flexible with check-in and check-out time, which was extremely helpful. The place was very clean and had all of the necessities for a few night stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler K. Oct 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and a Wonderful House Our stay here was excellent. Matt was a great host and answered any and all questions we had before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this house to any small groups of friends in Holland for a weekend. The short walk down to the beach was wonderful and the house itself was amazingly clean when we arrived. Next time I am in town and need a house this will be my first choice if it is available. ##### Tyler K.
