Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The size of the cottage The only thing that surprised me was the size of the house. I believe the square footage is listed in the posting. We estimated it’s about the size of a 2 car garage. But it was perfect for just my husband and myself. The beach wasn’t crowded, and only 1 block away. We would definitely stay again! ##### Jane F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024
