The cottage is in a beautiful wavefront neighborhood. The neighbors were all very friendly. The house is cozy and comfortable. The views is amazing. The property owner was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. It was the perfect haven for me during the holidays.

The house was beautifully arranged and kept, tasteful and comfortable. The enclosed front porch looking out on the water was a great asset. The neighborhood was comfortably walkable and there were hiking trails nearby as well as a charming village and restaurants with easy food. Our hostess was gracious and available for questions, even ahead of our arrival.

This Mulberry Point cottage was a slice of wonder with its incredible water views, coziness and location. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the front glass porch. The photos do not do it justice! Monica was a wonderful host and everything was well thought out and impeccable. We hope to be back at this seaside cottage again!

This is a perfect vacation home and immaculately "eat off the floor" clean, with comfy beds, a lovely renovated bathroom with really nice shampoo and soaps, a fully stocked kitchen including coffee, tea, spices,.oil and vinegars,, and just about every imaginable tool: Salad spinner, pots & pans, serving platters, barware, small appliances, good knives, meat thermometer for grilling, lobster crackers, the list goes on. Charming living room/dining area. We barely used the AC units as the sea breezes were delightful. Finally, the views. Whatever plans you have for the area, just realize you will only accomplish half of them because there is just not enough time to sit on the patio and stare at the water with a coffee or cocktail in hand. Monica and Bill are accommodating and gracious and immediately answered any questions we had. Didn't want to leave and we hope to return soon.

i wish i could give more than 5 stars, because that's what this property deserves. It is one of the cleanest, most well equipped homes we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot! Definitely on our list for a return visit. And, oh yes, location, location, location. Views of the cove and the sound from many windows, and those roses. Wow! I could go on and on, but you need to experience this for yourself, You'll be so glad you did.

Beautiful location facing the water. Tranquil. All the great reviews are accurate. Monica has thought of everything and has gone beyond with supplying literally everything. Even a gift of chocolates from the shop in town. The pantry is stocked. The kitchen has every pot, muffin tin etc. Very clean and safe. The owners live next door and happy to be invisible or in touch for anything needed. Hope to come again!

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely, clean, and uncluttered cottage! It has everything you need — and all is as it appears in the photos. We especially loved the porch, the views, swimming at the beach (30 seconds away), and walking around the peaceful neighborhood. Thank you, Monica, for relaxing stay — we can’t wait to come back!
