Sublime Cozy, Yet Spacious Getaway Spot
This is the second time we have stayed at this property, which probably tells you almost all you need to know. We loved it last year, and loved it even more this time. There is nothing not to love about this beautiful, tastefully appointed cottage. The location couldn't be more convenient to great dining in St. Michael's, but more than that, the cottage sits on a beautiful piece of land that offers an expansive green lawn (great for strolling) next to the gorgeous Tred Avon River. Because it's at kind of a 'point,' you can gaze left in the morning and see the sunrise over the water, and switch your gaze right to see dazzling sunsets. In between time, there are the never-ending sparkles on the water. The home itself is a dream - it's absolutely PERFECT for two people. It's often difficult to find waterfront homes that don't have far more bedrooms than a couple needs, just for starters. But the place feels incredibly spacious with its high ceilings and brilliant layout. An extremely comfortable bed a lovely bathroom, a sweet living area, and a spacious kitchen that honestly is the kitchen of my dreams, with a lovely dining table and a darling little sunroom just off the kitchen. I think my favorite spot is the nearly house-length screened porch, complete with a porch swing and a cozy sofa for gazing out on the water. The host is attentive, responsive, kind . . . honestly, I cannot think of a thing that is not marvelous about this property. We will be back!
