3 shared Kayaks and 2 Stand Up Paddle Boards are provided for guest use. These are shared with the 4 bedroom rental guest cottage across the street. Beach chairs, umbrellas, a hammock, and a gas grill make this a place easy to quickly settle into upon arrival.
Note for guests who like to do a lot of cooking for extended stays: The kitchen in this unit is equipped with a single gas burner for boiling or steaming, an electric skillet, a rice/vegetable steamer, and a medium sized toaster oven. These cover all functions of a full stove, but there is not a traditional stove in the kitchen area for conservation of space, while taking into account that most guests tend to eat out a lot.
