Gardenia Cottage
I loved staying at Gardenia Cottage, a perfect place for a couple or one person. It was so comfortable, bright, and cheery. The sitting area outside felt private, a place for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. Golden beach is a beautiful private beach near by, went there a lot to enjoy the sun and read a book. Gardenia Cottage is a mile from town with lots of shopping and great restaurants. Beat was a wonderful host. He always answered questions or provided something I might need. I would highly recommend this wonderful place.

Linda M.Gardenia cottage
I loved Gardenia Cottage. It was such a cozy place the way it was set up, and the private outside sitting area so private for morning coffee or a glass of wine at night. Easy walk to the private beach or in town to shop or eat. The host was wonderful, always available to help if I needed it. Gardenia Cottage is the perfect place to stay for a couple or single person.
