The house is very comfortable with 4 bedrooms on the second floor and a loft on the third. Lots of kitchen gadgets - I especially liked the hand-press espresso machine. A short walk to the beach which my kids loved. Had a great stay!

Nice home, great location, easy 100 yd walk to the water. Home is a bit outdated, but still comfortable
Only 1 indoor shower but the outside shower has got hot water which is nice. Master bed is a waterbed which was a curveball.

A vacation to write about in a home you read about. We could have spent our days on the idyllic porch if the beach hadn’t been so close and inviting. What a great location — close to great restaurants and towns to explore. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for our fond family memories and for sharing your beautiful home.

Donna the host was very responsive to our inquiries . The house is a fun quirky space with a comfortable relaxed vibe. The kitchen is well equipped and the living spaces provide well for time together and quiet moments. Outside space is lovely with the ocean just steps away. Loved it!

This was our second stay at this beach house and it proved to be another terrific family vacation - plenty of room, yard for the children, easy access to a private beach, convenient location, and a welcoming host who responded to any questions and concerns immediately. Great all around vacation place for a family!

The whole family had a great time. The location is great, views and breeze while sitting on back porch. Nice sandy beach for little ones and large grass yard.

This was a perfect vacation rental for my family. The home easily accommodated 5 adults and 4 children. The kitchen was perfect for making meals and the large circular dining table was perfect for family meals. We really enjoyed the large yard and playing ping pong on the screened in porch. There was easy access to the private beach and floats and beach toys available for use. We made great memories here and can’t wait to go back next year!

We had a wonderful time with our friends and teens. Donna has everything you need for your beach vacation. The house was spacious and the grounds are just amazing.

The property was well equipped - large bedrooms, large comfortable sitting area, large dining table, charming porch, beautiful lawn. We only wish we had more time to enjoy the property and all it offered while we were in town for a family wedding.
There was only two negatives - 1) while there are 3 bathrooms, only 1 indoor shower. 2) it was a challenge to wash all the sheets and towels in time for morning checkout.
Thank you for a lovely visit. We would love to come back!

the cottage and location are fabulous. It's an older cottage with lots of charm and a view of the ocean. I couldn't have been happier with the experience

The property was perfect for us all, ages 3 - 69! So much space, proximity to the beach, large grounds for the children play in when not on the beach. Everything we needed was supplied. Just wish we could have stayed longer

Family vacation with our 4 daughters and their families (seven grandchildren - 2 in pack-n-plays) was super. All agreed that of the five or six cottages we have rented in the past for a family vacation, this was the best. Easily accomadated nine adults and the children, with room to spare. The yard and the private beach allowed the kids to be kids without fear of disturbing other beach goers. The washer & dryer and two refrigerators were a big plus with the size of our family. Location couldn't have been better. House was clean, great kitchen, yard was well kept, host was informative & graciuos. What more could you ask for!!

This is a great place for a family vacation. The house fit 5 adults and 4 kids with beds to spare. Great living room and porch area. Lots of space to spread out. The kitchen is recently renovated. It’s walking distance to a great beach with a cool sandbar with lots of tidepool life that’s exposed at low tide. The house is probably 100 years old and has lots of character. A couple of things to note. The king-size bed is actually a waterbed. Being an older house, some of the floors are uneven. In one of the bedrooms I got a head rush the first time I lay down on the bed because of the floor slope. Also although it has 2.5 baths, there is only one indoor shower. The outdoor shower is pretty nice though.
