Little Skip Cottage, on the Bay

Cozy and (nearly) new cottage just steps from the bay, curated to make you feel right at home. Whether you plan to explore and just need a place to lay your head, or you plan to escape and never leave, you'll love the cottage and your own little bay hideaway. NOTE: TEMPORARILY and AS OF OCT 2024---NO beach or bonfires are permitted on the beach or on premise. Conditions are too dry for the fire risk. THANK YOU for understanding. (Fires in the gas fireplace are still OK - thank you).
