The kitchen was well-stocked so we had all the dishes, cooking utensils, glasses, pots & pans, etc we needed for meals. The area is lovely, beautiful vegetation and we enjoyed seeing the rabbits.

What a lovely, well appointed cottage. We've stayed in the area every year for over a decade and we enjoyed this stay the best! That's saying a lot. On top of the great location, stylish furnishings and well stocked kitchen, we particularly appreciated the 11:00 am check out which had us enjoying the last day of our vacation as much as we did the first!

The place is wonderful, with lots to do around it.Just be aware that bathroom amenities are minimal...just hand soap. Bring your own tissue, shampoo etc.. there seems to be an ample supply of towels though. Make sure you check out the front hall closet for pool and beach supplies (towels, folding chairs).
