Luxurious Harbor View “Elizabeth” Cottage! Walk & bike to everything

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (143)
"The location is great, walking distance to the beach and town. Bedrooms are very small and the unit is not really "ocean view" but perfect for two adults and our dog. Huge bonus being pet friendly and having a little fenced in yard. Only complaint was the propane tank was filled at 7:30am and scared the heck out of us, the tank in below the unit on grade level and it literally sounded like someone was in the unit. Not a huge deal but they should fill a little later perhaps. "
