Cute cottage; very clean; great location
The owners were very helpful-met us on arrival and was just a text away. The cottage was decorated in a beach theme—had all the necessary amenities. The location was very convenient for day trips. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors that we saw were very friendly. Would highly recommend The Osprey.

A great weekend in a nice little place
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Osprey; it was just right for the two of us. True, the bedroom was a bit tight, but the cottage is so well located that we weren't in it except to sleep. Every morning as we had breakfast outside we saw an egret fly by. The center of town is about a mile away, a nice walk if you're so inclined. If you're coming with kids ask Mike to set you up with a beach pass - the town beach is perfect for families. The time we did spend at the cottage was very pleasant; the kitchen had everything we could have asked for (except a dishwasher). The only nitpicky thing we can say is that there's no flat surface in the bathroom- no big deal for me, but annoying to my wife. She managed, but grumbled just a bit. We would definitely stay there again.
