The Cypress Cottage has a great vibe -- super cute interior, quiet, nice back deck and pier. I'd expected privacy fencing, but that was my mistaken assumption. I was still able to do yoga in the back yard without noticeable scrutiny from neighbors (who I did not see much). I thought there would be more / better food in the area, but I was able to get by with heating leftovers and light cooking -- if you're better at cooking in stainless steel than I am (probably the whole country is), you'll be fine :)
