We stayed in this cottage while new windows were being installed in our apartment; it was a two week installation so we had an extended experience on the property. First of all, the cottage is located in a high-end neighborhood and a short block from the ocean (great for ocean and sunset-watching but not for swimming). The house is quiet, safe and very-well furnished with what is needed to make your stay comfortable. In fact, we were surprised that the unit included so many amenities. We were very spoiled with the big, beautiful shower that most people dream about but never experience. The cottage was about two miles from our apartment so it was very convenient for us as we were familiar with the neighborhood. Out-of-town visitors will be pleased with two shopping centers about a mile away. We both worked during the week, but spent nights, weekends and a holiday in the cottage. Covered parking is situated just outside the cottage door so it was very convenient for both of our cars. Although the unit had everything needed to prepare meals, we mostly ate out at nearby restaurants. There is also a small shady garden just outside the glass doors in the bedroom so we enjoyed the evening sunsets with a glasses of wine. Our host, Mel, was very gracious and responded quickly to any questions we had, so we had no issues during our stay. We enjoyed the stay so much that I have already recommended the cottage to friends in our apartment building who will also have to move out when their windows are being installed. Thank you for being a great host Mel!
