We loved our recent stay at this cottage. The cottage itself had everything we needed. Careful attention to small details for comfort. The house was very clean and nicely furnished. The location is super! Great historic village! Great shops and coffee in the village! Super art gallery. Very nice clean beach and walkways. Battlegrounds and museums very close. If you are looking for a quiet walkable safe getaway this is it. Owners were lightning fast with response to questions. I loved it and will be back.

We rented the cottage for my daughter’s wedding weekend. It was a lovely setting for the bridal party to get ready. The bride and groom enjoyed the next two nights there alone.

There aren’t many properties that are better in person than the pictures, but this is one! Just beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We stayed over the Yorktown Day holiday, and were literally two small blocks from the parade route. We would not hesitate to book here again. Loved our stay.

I cannot say enough about both of your cottages, absolutely beautiful! I found myself cleaning as we left your home as if it were my own! I hope you could tell that we were respectable and most conscientious to your beautiful property! I would love to come back each year to have a family gathering at a place I would call… a home away home! Thank you again!
