Shipwreck Cottage

5.0 / 5 stars

We enjoyed our stay at Shipwreck Cottage! The cottage was sparkling clean and nicely stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. The pool was beautiful. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, so we appreciated that a beach cart was provided. We also liked the reserved parking (for 2 cars) under the cottage. There are lots of stairs in this cottage, so be prepared for that. Stairs didn't bother us, but it could be an issue for small children or elderly guests. The two balconies were perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze as we read in the evenings. Management was very responsive when we notified them the ice maker was not working. They had it repaired within 24 hours. Two (minor) downsides: While the king beds are very comfortable, the twin beds are very, very hard, even for children. We had to buy egg carton mattress toppers for use during the trip so we could sleep. The only other thing we noticed is that this unit does not have an outdoor grill and there are no shared grills in the complex. Nearby cottages had charcoal grills provided by owners for guest use. We really missed being able to grill. Other than those 2 minor details, we were very happy with our stay at Shipwreck Cottage! It's a beautiful place for a family vacation.
