An amazing week
My family and I had an incredible stay. The location was breathtaking ... so much to explore on the property. A rocky beach. Wild roses everywhere. And so much wildlife. Osprey. Hawks. Gulls. Sheep and goats. Little bunnies too! When the tide was low, we could see seals sunbathing on a sandbar. And there is so much to see within a half hour drive. Lighthouses, museums. So many great restaurants (with hardly any tourists). And one of the most beautiful, pristine beaches I've ever seen (Hawk Beach). We almost had the beach to ourself. The cottage itself was great. As another reviewer noted, the beds are exceptionally firm (one, on the main floor, was softer). Liam, as well as the owner, were incredibly friendly and responsive. I can't recommend this place enough.

Enjoyable stay
Our stay in early August was enjoyable. The house was super clean, cozy and comfortable. The kitchen had all the supplies needed. Air conditioning worked well when needed. Wi-Fi was great. Beautiful location with thoughtful paths to the rocky shoreline and lower deck to sit by the shore. Bring bug spray. Our 7 and 9 year old enjoyed exploring the rocks and were in knee deep into the water. A black bunny was near the house often that the kids loved. We drove to Carters beach 1 hr away which was a beautiful white sand beach.

Beautiful!
Even though the weather wasn't the most cooperative for our stay, we just loved the views. The listing is as advertised, although there wasn't a telescope to look through, but would be great if they put one back. The beds are two twins in each room on the upper floor, and two queens on the main floor. The beds are on the firm side, so bring a topper if that would bother you. Liam is great to communicate with, always gets back to you right away, which I really appreciated. We would definitely go back =)

Breathtaking view
The property is located at an elevation and has breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean. One could just spend hours on the deck soaking in the beauty. The house was beautiful, very clean and tastefully decorated. We were a group of 8 and there was ample space. There were some interesting puzzles and games available for us to explore. The communication was very quick and Liam was very helpful throughout our stay. One small downside was that none of the rooms had a Queen or king bed, so the bed was a bit smaller that what we are used to. We would highly recommend this property and would surely like to come back again!
