Convenient location to many activities. We shopped, walked the beach, walked to the Maritime Museum, took a boat ride and ate at several local restaurants! It was a great way to spend a long weekend. The cottage was clean and well-stocked with basics as well as a few treats!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marta's cottage. The little welcome basket and bottle of wine was delightful, along with the quiet jazz that was playing upon our arrival. The cottage is so cute, and we found it to be very clean and comfortable. It was a pleasure to get to know Marta a little bit, and it is clear she cares about her guests and wants their stay to be a great experience...and ours was!! We hope to return soon.
