Lovely Cottage on the Water
The Bay Cottage was a beautiful place to stay on the water. Fabulous front porch with an incredible view. Cottage is tastefully decorated and has everything that you need to relax and have a great time. The Host -- Christine -- was very accessible and accommodating. Will plan on scheduling a return trip in the near future.

Excellent Weekend Home
We were in the area with the kids visiting family, this house was perfect. On the water, everything you need and plenty of room for all. We ended up hanging out at our rental instead of my sisters house at night to enjoy the patio overlooking the water.

Relaxing Vacay!
We loved this property! The screened porch with the swing and rocking chairs was our favorite part! The property was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. Our only complaint is the one full bath (only one shower) and the half bath didn't have a light, so we had to use our phones to light the room at night.

Love this little cottage!
We arrived in a terrible rainstorm after dark… It would have been nice if there had been outside lights. Once inside, we fell in love with this charming 1930’s cottage! It had a well stocked kitchen, with all the modern amenities. Not recommended if you can’t do stairs since the house is on stilts. Christine was very responsive to our questions. The screen porch with rocking chairs looking over the bay were perfect! Wish there hade been a queen sized bed. We will be back!

This small bay front cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. The kids were a bit disappointed that the beach is a low tide sliver of sand but managed to find a lot to do when we weren’t out and about in the community. My only suggestions for improvement is the outside lighting. I really thought a light at the bottom of the stairs would make coming up and down after dark safer. You can’t see the bottom step due to the way it’s set going into the underside of the house when it isn’t full daylight outside.

Wasn’t has expected
The house was furnished with the basic items. You could tell that maintenance to house was lacking as well. Master bed was very lumpy and needed replacing. Front screen door was lying on back porch. If you’re looking for a quite relaxing time it’s great. Everything thing closes early and grocery store was over 20 miles away. Which was where we had to drive at 7pm on a Saturday night for a bottle of wine bc the only liquor store was already closed

Beautiful view outside, inside different story
The view was pristine overlooking the water from The back porch but the outdated interior played into effect quickly after check in. The house has furniture that is extremely dated which we were ok with overlooking. That was until the roach infestation was discovered and then I just couldn’t relax with ease. A few hours after checking in we were looking for dish towels to dry dishes and came across a colony of roaches under the sink. I emailed the POC for the property and was told “ Again my apologies for the inconvenience. Pest control was there today to treat the house. The owner has been made aware of the issue.” We went and bought roach spray to try and assists for our two day stay but it did not seem to help much. I had a hard time feeling comfortable the rest of our stay and every time I turned a light on or entered a new room I spotted roaches. So book with caution. If roaches don’t bother you, it’s a quiet place with great views; but I just could not seem to enjoy it when my skin was constantly crawling wondering what I was sitting, eating, and sleeping with every night. I’d load the video and pics I sent the poc but the review area does not have that option.

Perfect Work Get Away
I was in town for a work event and could not have picked a more perfect place to stay. The cottage was easy to find, clean, well stocked and the view out the back porch was amazing. 10/10 would stay again!
