“This cottage is in a fantastic location, right on the water! From the excellent wood-heated sauna, you can step almost directly onto the pier for a swim. It’s a wonderful place to experience island life – relaxing in the sun or watching a storm safely from the glass terrace. Even though neighbors were close, we enjoyed complete peace and privacy.”
