Cozy Cabin by the bay
Overall very nice stay, beach just a few steps away was a real plus. Our Neighbour (Donna) was amazing, so helpful and pleasant. In regards to improving the experience I'd list two main items; a firepit (burn cage) included with the property would be a big plus! The second item was the BBQ, a bit scary to use with a small amount of fumes detected plus only one burner was lighting and it did not burn very hot. However, that's it on the negatives...we had a very good time and the beds were very, very comfortable! Thank You. Peter
