    Nice and cozy. Pretty small main cottage but with a very attractive sunroom across the patio. Perfect place for 2 and within very short distance of the water.

    We were delighted to get there from Vermont. Our weather was not great, but we kayaked, biked, enjoyed the historical sights, the Whaling Museum a lot and Rick swam. Had sensational food at Ricarrdi's. We would not recommend the Bait and Hook out by the west beach at all = Very Disappointing. As for your accomodations we both fit in well. We would suggest that perhaps you take some of the items off of the book case so there is more room for our odds and ends. In the batheroom perhaps some of the space on the little shelves to the left of the toilet might be freed up for a few of you guests things. Also maybe move the conch shell on teh back of the toilet so there is room there. Not much space for toiletries. Also, a towel rack in the bathroom or somewhere would be helpful. Our weather was not clear enough to put our towels outside. We loved the outdoor shower.We have one too and that was ideal. And you had so many things for us to use that were so useful in case we forgot. I loved the space in the next door house. That was my favorite. In your ad it looks like that is the house you are renting. We did not know there would be two houses. Thank you for your generosity. We may come again. We enjoyed the neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly. It was too chilly for the beach, but so convenient. We had a very nice time. Again our thanks. Jody and Rick
