2010 Family Vacation

This was a perfect "Cottage by the Sea" which we inhabited with our two daughters, two grandchildren, new son-in-law and our loveable dog.
When we arrived exhusted from at 2 day trip to get here, everything was ready to go. The fenced in property made it easy to get things into the cottage without our dog running off and he enjoyed the back yard immediately, making himself at home, while we unpacked.
It didn't take long to feel right at home with everything depicted just as the site had shown. We checked out the bedrooms, deciding who was going to take what and it all worked out with the whole gang fitting into the various bedrooms, unpacking and settling in. There were many books to read, games to play and a non-coined laundry area which was really appreciated---didn't have to worry about saving up those quarters!
Everything was cozy,tastefully decorated and comfortable--just like home! The highlight of this trip was being able to bring our dog, which we usually have to put in a kennel while we are away. He did well and enjoyed watching the ducks swimming down the canal. His favorite place was on the platform where the picnic table was and right by the grill, which we used often---he knows where the food is!
Our walk to the ocean was a very short distance and if we had many things we wanted to take, we just put everything into a car and used the beach parking permit which is provided. Beside the ocean we headed to the boardwalk and several of our gang took surfing lessons a little up the road, in addition to all of us kayaking with a guided tour--fun, fun! The restaurants were plentiful and wonderful with great seafood as well as near by food markets.
This area was near some family which we haven't seen in years and it was fun to catch up in addition to our maid of honor and best man of our wedding "many years" ago, living within 20 min. It was great to see everyone!
Rose and Russ were excellent to work with and were "johnny-on-the-spot" and sooooo helpful for any of our needs and requests. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable and cared about how things were going for us.
We recommend this great very near the beach cottage to anyone thinking about it--go without hesitation!
