We were used to the area as we had lived about 200 feet away from the cottage. It is an older cottage, built in 1938. There was a bit of a problem communicating with the property manager. I had left a couple voice mails that went unanswered and when we got to the property, she was in a hurry to leave as her friend just had a baby. So what to do with the sheets that were in the dryer and other questions went unanswered. Nice cottage, interior had been up graded perhaps a few years ago. And a nice beach, complete with ducks and geese. Very cute.
