I have given Oak Haven 5 stars, not because it's some fancy smancy hotel but because it is the closest I get to a home-away-from-home. It is clean, neat, homey, cozy and laid back. All cottages offer fully equipped kitchens, cable TV, central air and heat and screened porches (some with additional decks). The owners are extremely helpful, friendly and there for you. I have gone to their house (on premises) and borrowed sugar, extra cooking ware, a bike, pepper, extra pillows, a postage stamp. Point is: if your cottage or you don't have it they will make it happen! I have been going there for 14 years and have stayed in nearly every cottage so far. All are unique and slightly funky in the nicest way. The Bay is across the street and public beach and two piers are a block away. The stroll is beautiful and relaxing. OH and they are dog friendly (just ask in advance so they can place you in one of their many dog-friendly cottages-the fee is very small). The beach is dog friendly too (leash 'em).
