We were a party of 4 seniors sharing a cottage that was very comfortable and well supplied in the kitchen, bedrooms,bathrooms and living space. We enjoyed the fireplace and the bonfire pit on the beach We would suggest that your online dining menu is updated to describe what is actually on the menue.Other than that we really enjoyed our. 2 night stay.

The view is breathtaking, the duck poop all over the beach and floating in the water less so, but I understand that the ducks float to this property because at this time of year, they’re not hunted
