Summary: What a lovely cottage this is. We enjoyed the lovely, tranquil setting very much. The deck overlooking the seasonal creek is spectacular and much time was spent there. The main bedroom has an antique bed that is extremely high. I couldn't get in and out of it comfortably so slept on the trundle/day bed which was just fine. In fact I loved it! My sister enjoyed the antique bed and found the mattress comfortable. We had quiet people like us staying next door for most of the time and heard almost nothing through the shared door/walls. A much louder person checked in on our last night with a very loud voice and we could hear every word from her and her visitor. The peace and quiet factor depends on who you get next to you. We look forward to staying here again as the vibe is lovely. The road this property on is historic. Very quaint and atmospheric. If the tides are cooperating you can easily walk down the path to the beach. At low tide you can easily walk from Hammonds to Butterfly by walking to the right. Scenic and gorgeous! The train adds to the atmosphere in my opinion - not disturbing in the least. Simply marvelous!
