Great basecamp for the area
The cottage was a great place to stay! It offered everything needed for a relaxing time on the back porch or kayaking in the river. It was maybe a two minute walk down to the public access beach which had good sand and of course great views of the water. The lighthouse was a little further and had a much bigger beach but it was an easy walk too. Heading into town meant you have a lot to do. Highly recommend the Mac Wood's Dune ride as it helps give a good overview of the area, especially if you didn't plan on renting a dune buggy for yourself. The stay was wonderful and coordinating with Brad was easy. He had the house set up well and the binder with ideas on what to potentially do was very useful. The only real drawback is the limited cell reception in the area as a whole, but if you get on the wifi at the cottage it's all good. Plus it's good to unplug from time to time. Overall it was an amazing stay and a great time for the family to relax and enjoy.
