This is 99.9% exactly how described. Your water view is slightly obstructed due to trees on the shore that the owner isn’t allowed to do anything about. Very charming and cute. Clean and comfortable. Very compact and efficient. I only have one suggestion, and that is to put a door covering on the only door in and out of the place. It’s a wonderful view and natural light. However, if the other side of the duplex is rented, and they are using the shared sitting area around the fireplace, they can see directly into the other unit. I mentioned this to the owner, and they were quick to reply with their reasoning, and that they would look into it. The bathroom has a barn style sliding door. Needs to be stopped at just the right place to block any view of the inside. We have no complaints. We would rent again!

The cottage is adorable! Our experience was Ok, but the kitchen was not well appointed. Typically, there is some basic essentials stocked in the kitchen but there were none. We had no coffee as it was a Keurig and when I asked about the coffee maker I was not told we needed to bring coffee (they should have had a couple of "pods" available as we don't use a Keurig), no plastic wrap or ziplocks, and there were no sharp knives, just dinner knives etc. The bathroom has NO privacy. You do not want to go stay there with another couple as you can see in the bathroom---it is a barn door and offers NO privacy. There might as well not be a door on it. We were disappointed as our overall opinion is that it needs more work and additions to make it really enjoyable.

Modern, clean and beautiful. It’s a duplex, a little bit to close to next door it’s really good if you have a 2 family or big families you can rent both places. Very close to restaurants and bars serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Manager are very nice and they will help you out fast it you have any issues or requests

The folks around the marina were friendly. The unit is very nicely decorated, and the hot tub was great.
