There are so many great things to say about this place. First of all, Nick, the owner, is very good at communicating. He checked in with me before arrival, after arrival, and multiple times during our stay. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but it felt good to know if we did that Nick would've been there in a moments notice to help. The pool is a definite plus. We swam in it multiple times during our stay. It is a little chilly, but it was never an issue. We even swam in it around 7 and 8 at night. This was a major reason we picked this place. It is not easy to find a place with your own pool and that was what my kids wanted. The beach down the road called Cherry Beach was also very nice. It had calm waters, soft sand, and not a lot of people. We also went to the Warren Dunes one day which was only 10 minutes away and that was fun too. There were more waves at that beach, concessions, and a chance to climb the dunes. Both days we came home from the beach and then swam in the pool. Then at night we enjoyed the fire pit and made smores and listened to music. The house was very clean upon arrival and the temperature even on the hot days was very comfortable. The look of the cottage is very cute. It feels like you're staying in a log cabin. I stayed with my husband and two daughters (ages 3 and 7). My mother in law also stayed some of the days and there was more than enough room as long as one person doesn't take forever in the bathroom.
