This was a perfect place for us and our kids. There are TVs in each bedroom but we didn't use them much. The yard, the beach and the bay were all we needed. The beach is a gradual slope into the water and it takes a long time to get to depths like you'd expect in the bay. With smaller kids, this is perfect -- they can be in the water and aren't latched onto you. The sandy bottom makes for solid footing, too, while watching the kids play in the clear water. We had our young son here, who is not yet a swimmer, and watched his confidence grow each day in the water. Thanks to Virginia summers, the sunsets were different -- and spectacular -- every night. The screened porch is spacious and comfortable. The fans are perfect to conquer the humid days. We played games and did puzzles out there at night – the game and puzzle selection is a nice touch. As are the beach chairs. And the towels – oh, the towels. They are plentiful and nice quality, a great asset for the stay because, well, you're at the beach. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. We brought some supplies, but there were ample coffee items, and it seemed like anything we brought for cooking was also in the house somewhere. We grilled several times, using the stove seemingly only to boil water for tea. There wasn't a need for communication from the host, but she was pleasant and attentive. Her guide to the cottage should be a template for others. This was exactly what we were looking for and we can't wait to return.
