We had an excellent stay in this cottage, it looks as though there are more than one available on the property yet you still have a sense of space and seclusion. The views from the deck are fantastic and the furniture is great. We spent a lot of time out there and were fortunate to have excellent weather. The porch faces southeast, so you get a great sunrise and cooler temps in the early evening since the hot afternoon sun isn't hitting you, but you still have a few sun spots to catch the last rays. The entrance to the vineyard/winery is in front of the property, but it is distant enough not to feel. like a driveway at all.
We walked down to the winery twice and to the Beach Plum farm next door. Nice to have a few things in walking distance and you're a stones throw from town. Being an urban person, we prefer to stay out of town, but just close enough to be super convenient. You could definitely bike there with no stress or major exertion. If I had to do it over again, we would have rented bikes or brought from home!
The rooms are comfortable with nice, firm beds. Beautifully decorated, renovated, charming and the living room furniture/setup was perfect for our party of four friends on vacation. One of the rooms has a desk / vanity for working. The wifi worked pretty well for the most part, we had some dry spells and interruptions but by and large was fine.
The ensuite bathroom is really small and not a great shower for a super tall person, but having a second toilet is always handy. The kitchen is well appointed, but not if you're a gourmet. There were a few basics like salt/pepper and a Keurig, but no coffee filters or olive oil, which I think are a nice touch.
Only downside is the blind spots getting out of the driveway - the shrubs create privacy from the road but impede your vision on exit. We managed, of course.
Overall we would stay again here or other properties managed by Barbara. Really peaceful and easy going experience. Thank you for a pleasant stay!
