Our hosts were very accommodating on our month long stay at Starfish Cottage. We brought our bikes with us and there was a very nice storage area for them that was unexpected. The location is great. We often got to see dear on our evening stroll with our pup Coco. It was also a short ride to the beach and coffee. The cottage it’s self was nice with lots of room and everything we needed for our stay. Penny and Julie were very responsive to our questions- excellent hosts. Hope to stay here again.
