We were right on the main drag so we enjoyed the jeep parade, walk to the dunes, walk to get ice cream. The beds were really comfortable. My son loved having access to the tv and all the channels. Furniture has been updated since photos. Water was hot. It was perfect for our family. I brought my Alexa and was able to keep a camera on the dogs while we went into the dunes.

One thing i would do before traveling is see what days things are open, a lot of stuff is closed sunday through Thursdays. The cottage has everything you need in the kitchen for cooking. Plenty of plates and silverware. There are some lawn chairs for sitting next to fire. No washer or dryer, but can wash things in the sink and hang on the 2 clothes lines, they provide clothes pins. The beds are not super comfortable, but there was plenty of room for the 4 of us and our dog. Overall a great location and great cottage. ##### Amber R.

The house was below my standards but ok. Furniture was worn out and uncomfortable. Beds were decent was a plus. Water tasted bad and sewer smell coming from the shower pretty bad. I took a shower, but my wife wouldn’t. Heater worked, but super loud so you couldn’t leave it on. For the price I would stay there again to be close to the dunes. ##### Mike J.
