I loved everything about this beautiful cottage: the gorgeous, carefully restored plank-wood floors, the beautiful, handcrafted kitchen bar counter, the built-in bookcase, the fireplace with woodstove, and the back deck where I took advantage of the best feature of all: a clear view of Barters Creek, where I relaxed next to the firepit/table and watched the tides ebb and flow as swimmers did their laps, kayakers and paddleboarders floated by and kids and adults alike leapt into the refreshing green waters. The cottage has all new appliances, a modern bathroom with a cool stone floor, rainwater showerhead (my favorite) and great washer and dryer that I used a couple of times; and two well-appointed bedrooms, one of which has a very quiet, but very effective air conditioner. There are also fans in each room to keep the air moving when it's needed, and a skylight in one of the rooms. Sarah and Pete are wonderful hosts. Sarah responded to me immediately when I had any kind of question or concern, of which there were hardly any, because they thought of everything in advance. I can't say enough about this place. It's just beautiful, it's peaceful, it's graced by wonderful seabreezes, and as an extra bonus the neighbor next door is friendly and gracious, offering to help with anything I might need.
