We had a nice time staying at The Cove. Our group consisted of 4 adults and 2 young children. The cottage is smaller than it seems in the pictures but it was all we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked and all of the kitchen accessories were clean and new. The one downstairs bedroom is tiny and there is no AC in that room. This was ok when we were there because it wasn’t too hot.
Downstairs there is a good sized full bathroom with a tub shower and double sinks. There is also a closet off the kitchen with a stacked washer/ dryer and a little air plane sized sink and toilet.
Upstairs the ceilings are slanted so if you are very tall you might have to be careful. The largest bedroom has a stand up AC, it worked pretty well but it was so loud and it leaked a little water onto the rug in the room. The large bedroom has a tiny half bath that was very convenient and cute.
The other bedroom is perfect for kids. We had no problem fitting a pack and play for our baby, and our 3 year old slept in one of the beds. The air conditioner was a window unit and it did not work too well.
Upstairs between the rooms there is a little hall area with some books and there was even a baby toy foam blocks set that my kids enjoyed playing with. There is a little hide out play area in the crawl space as well. We actually brought a fold up baby gate to somewhat secure the stairs and it worked well.
The sheets in the bedrooms were nice. The bath towels were good.
Other than updating the air conditioner units in the bedrooms and adding one into the downstairs bedroom the other suggestion I have relates to the beach equipment. We asked prior to our stay how many beach chairs there were and the said “we can not confirm how many their are”. So we brought 4 of our own. We got there and there were 2. I was so glad we brought our own. We also brought our own beach towels, shade tent, umbrella, and toys for the kids.
The house did have an umbrella and a couple beach toys and a cart for beach stuff.
The house is about a 5 minute walk to the beach or maybe even less. Pine point beach is beautiful. It seemed so quiet and not over crowded. We absolutely loved it. The walk is easy and so convenient with young children! The area was surprisingly quiet!
Our favorite restaurant that we tried in the area was pine point grill, and Sea Salt Lobster. The best ice cream by far was at the dairy corner!
Overall we had a wonderful stay!
