Nora's cottage was great. Loved everything about it. The front porch, the back deck, the terrific kitchen, fenced in yard. I would suggest you add a shelf or rack in the shower to hold shampoo and stuff. We were however, hugely dissappointed that we couldn't bring our dogs on the beach. Guess I didn't read the fine print on that one. It did essentially keep us in the cottage for the most part. I definitely would use the cottage again but without the dogs.
