Spend a day at the beach, relax by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink on the balcony of this cottage, which also features a firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a blender. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
