6 of us (3 adults and 3 children) enjoyed a family time away in this delightful beach cottage. The cottage is homey and coastal in feel. It feels like an old family cottage! Well appointed with necessities and excellent AC when needed. Our kids loved it! The bedroom set up is quite flexible and having 2 bathrooms is a luxury in this neighborhood.

Any time spent with family on vacation is always perfect and we enjoyed our time at Anne’s home very much, however there are some issues I hope they address so other travelers can enjoy their trip even more than we did. I’ll start with the pros. Location was good. Just a short walk to Swifts Beach, a great little beach to enjoy. (Note: water shoes are highly recommended. My 4 year old granddaughter ended up with 2 stitches in her foot from a razor clam or? in the water) Also close to town and Onset Village with shops and restaurants. Plenty of space! 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, large dining table to gather around, enclosed front porch great for game night and a very nice deck off the back of the house. On-site laundry is also a big plus while at the beach. Onto the Cons: Terrible, heavy smell of old cigarette smoke. Our first day there we had to open the house all up and went to the store to buy Fabreeze, candles and Microban 24. After keeping the windows and doors open and spraying everything down, we were able to minimize the odor, however the whole house needs to be thoroughly cleaned and repainted to really get the smell out. Cleanliness over all was not great. Needed to wash everything before we used it and there’s not a lot of organization in the kitchen. Silverware draws, refrigerator and cabinets all need a really good cleaning. Also felt the need to wash the sheets to be comfortable sleeping in them. I hope improvements are made as this is a great beach cottage and could be a diamond in the rough!

It was nice renting the property it was very piece full.

This house has a great location! The Swift's beach is only 5 minutes away; walk there is nice and straight forward. You could also drive, probably 1 minute, but there is no parking allowed without permit. The house itself is big, there is actually 6 bedroom in it, 3 on each level - upper and lower, but only 2 bathrooms, 1 on each level. The lower bathroom is in a poor condition. During our stay, the toilet was leaking, the medicine cabinet's light was not working, the shower curtain was ripped and moldy. Half of the beds requires change of mattresses, they were very uncomfortable. The AC is tricky: it is not vey efficient on the upper level, but super efficient on the lower level, to the point of freezing. However, the owner was responsive and helpful with things that could be fixed quickly (like change of shower curtain). Kitchen was stuffed vey well, no problems there. There was also plenty of towels and bedding linens. There is a shed on this property which is full of useful beach things, this was a great plus. Generally, we enjoyed our stay. If the weather is good, like we had, you tent to accept whatever you have.

Everything you need for a beach getaway is left for you to use in this house- even some snacks, some soda, sunscreen toiletries and lots of fresh towels! Very thoughtful and convenient. The house layout however is not ideal there is no open area for families to hang out. Some parts of the house need some updates and the bedrooms on the upper floor (where my husband and I slept) were not comfortable- mattresses too soft and one of the rooms it was hard to navigate the room was small and Ned against a wall. Otherwise for a basicand quiet beach getaway you’ll get Value from this house (you can literally walk back and forth to the beach it’s a few blocks only) this fits the bill! The property owner Anne was so thoughtful and responsive, even left a note with her local food tips and restaurant recommendations. Like I said, our stay felt like we were at a relative’s home!

Great location. Everything was available if needed. Would recommend this home!

Great location to beach and enough space for family members to enjoy a lovely weekend together!

We enjoyed the property with a perfect set up for our dog who is used to running out the door whenever she wants. The baby gate allowed us to keep her in when necessary. Plenty of space for people to hang out in and we especially enjoyed the porch. The beach was nice and close.

Nice spot. Not bad for the price. A little musty inside the house but otherwise no complaints. Great proximity to the beach. Easy walk.
