This house was super clean, set up great and overall just perfect for our family of 6!! I almost hate to leave a good review because I want to keep this place to myself!!
Thank you for the lovely review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!!!!

We hesitated to stay in Kenja Kottage because of its close proximity to the community pool (literally about 15 steps behind the house) and the community beach access (most of the community walks right by the house on their way to the beach). HOWEVER, we were delighted to find that the house was well-built and pretty much sound-proof. Our bedroom was right up against the pool and we heard NOTHING. In addition, the house is adorable and very well maintained. No complaints. Cuteness abounds with this little cottage. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was nicely stocked, everything was in working order and in good shape. We would strongly recommend staying here!!!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Kenja Kottage! I hope you will be able to come back again soon!!!!

We were very impressed with how clean and nice this place was!!! Close to beach & worth the cost. The pool was right behind house which made it easy with kids!! Had a great experience!
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review! I hope you will come back to visit us again soon!!!

5 adults stayed a week with 2 extra adults dropping in mid-week. Cottage Retreat is secluded, secure, and central to everything. Beds were very comfortable and the pool/Jacuzzi area was awesome. There were some very minor issues - the small kitchen appliances had some wear and tear on them and the dishwasher didn't clean well until better soap was used. However, Kathy was very responsive to any concerns we had. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kenja Cottage and will return next year.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review! I am so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and will be coming back again! I will look at the small appliances to see what needs to be replaced!

Property was great for kids, plenty of space. The beach is right across the street and the pool is right behind the house. Kathy was great to lease from and very accommodating. We will definitely book again.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review!
