Summary: The cottage was the perfect spot for our vacay. The house was clean, well organized and we very much appreciated the stock of paper towel, tp, soap, etc. The beds were comfortable and the large fans with the window a/c kept the home very comfy with high temps while we were there. We enjoyed sitting down at the water with the chairs provided. My daughter used the kayak and even gave her pups a nice ride.Very enjoyable vacation.
