Perfect couples getaway. The cottage was charming, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly peaceful. Loved how easy it was to walk to the beach and local spots. The hot tub was a great touch after a long day. We'll definitely be back!

Dreamy Townie 2!
Truly a dream come true! Beautifully designed with every detail in mind. As a family of four we loved everything the property had to offer: heated pool, private hot tub, grill, outdoor green area, fire pit. It was a short walk to the beach and we had access to the private Gordon Beach area. The kids loved the bunk bed! We had a small issue arise but the team was super responsive and fixed it quickly. All in all, will be back and will plan a longer stay next time!

We had a lovely stay
We had a lovely stay at the townie 2 cottage in Union Pier! The highlights were the heated pool, hot tub and being so close to the beach! We also loved how the house was laid out and decorated. We had everything we needed and the hosts are very responsive. From Google Reviews
