<3 "The cottage is well appointed and the decor was beyond spectacular. Every little detail inside made us all feel welcome, from the comfortable beds, to the bright colors, and porch area with enough seating for the 8 of us. We enjoyed using the pool and hot tub in the lovely landscaped yard. We had a comfortable walk to the beach and were so grateful that there were beach chairs for us to use. Our host shared lots of information about the area and we walked or used the golf carts to go to local coffee shops and restaurants. I wish I could share the video of our initial reaction walking into the cottage and the "gasps" as we walked from room to room noticing all the details that make this a place we all hope to go back to. THANKS MISSY!!! Truly the Hostess with the Mostess!" ~ Lisa, '25
