| We had a memorable week's vacation at Tranquil Bay Lodge. The cottage was well equipped, spotlessly clean and spacious. All beds including the Murphy bed were comfortable. It is a lot of packing to provide your own pillows and blankets as well as linens but I believe this is in keeping with Selina's efforts to provide a clean environment. Selina was extremely responsive and helpful. We were concerned about the listing saying that smoking was permitted ( allergies ), but it is NOT permitted inside. Selina met us at the cottage to ensure the cottage was smoke-free and even purchased a small charcoal filter to support clean air downstairs. The grounds were spacious allowing us to put up a volleyball net and there were lots of sand toys, etc and a kayak to rent. We loved the ping-pong table. Everything was in excellent working order. For our family of 10 there were just enough plates but it did require us to use the dishwasher quite frequently. You may want to bring more bowls and paper plates. A baby gate would be helpful. Thanks to Selina for her efforts to ensure we had a top notch stay at her cottage. We highly recommend!

Owner response: Totally there are 30 plates in 10-inch big diameter, after you left I bought a few more large plates. There are 10 small plates in about 7-inch diameter and about 12 bowls. If a group of 10 guests eat 3 meals in a day, likely 1 load of dish-washing sufficient. I provided more than enough dishwasher detergent. | |

| Cottage was very clean and well kept upon entry. We were a group of 13. 9 adults and 5 kids Including a 3 mth old. Plenty of space for all inside and out. All beds were comfortable. Main floor sofa reclines flat into a bed for added sleeping space. Lots of space to set up extra blow up mattresses downstairs. Back deck, backyard and outdoor fireplace are beautiful. Garage entertainment was great for when we weren't at the beautiful beach only 5mins away. The owner is very responsive and helpful with any questions. Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.

| We had a fantabulous time at this beautiful cottage. It was affordable, clean, organized, spacious and very close to the beach which was a bonus. Selena is a great host and we are looking to stay next year and hopefully two weeks instead of one. Highly recommended for sure
