Bayside Cottage
The Bayside Cottage was a great place to stay. Our only suggested improvements are really minor: please stock a couple of better knives, a pasta pot, and a medium sized bowls and the entrance to the garden suite needs a step for safety reasons. I have no hesitancy whatsoever in recommending this property. Thank you

Nice place to stay…..
I was quite pleasantly surprised to find all of the cooking spices, oil, coffee, etc. almost like you were walking into someone’s own home and they had just left. It will be nicer when the house construction next door is complete and they are not hammering first thing in the morning. The road in front was also quite busy at times. I was quite disappointed to find out that VRBO had simply rebooked this house from another rental agency at a considerable mark-up. I felt a little ripped-off. Otherwise it was a very nice place to stay with great kayaking right out front.
