Lovely home with all accoutrements. Great view. Weather was terrific. Deer were plentiful on property and on Pigeon Hill Road-Careful! House was very clean on arrival.
Minor issues-could not get combination lock to work; call to managers gave us combo to key box-all good. Was a little disappointed with road between house and beach; little or no traffic-so really no issue. Should have been mentioned in AD. Lite in refrigerator inoperative-Tory fixed it-very personable.
Apparently Sept. 23-30 is shoulder season-Many restaurants were closed Sun-Thursday. Still, we very much enjoyed our stay-
I lost or misplaced an Apple version 2 Pencil; if found please contact me to arrange return-Thanks!

It is across the street from the ocean, the so called private beach was small, all rocks! The path from the house to the beach couldn’t be used as there was a porcupine on the path that got our dogs so we had to take them to emergency vets!

We enjoyed our home for a few days at Pigeon Hill. The only problem we had was finding the place since our GPS put the property on the other side of the road and the house numbers are wonky. A better placement of this house number would help. We also had trouble using the internet, but the representative helped us out very quickly on that. Overall, I would stay there again. Gorgeous view, lovely home. Very comfortable.

We loved this place !! It was like being transported to a private island. There is a nature preserve within a couple min walk that the hike leads to top of the mountain with stunning views for miles. There is a small private beach area. I’m want to say beware if you have pups the advice book said watch for porcupines and we disregarded the warning and our pup got about 50 quils after going after one luckily we were able to get them all out with not serious damage but she was sore whole week and had quills inches from her eye again this was our fault but keep dogs leashed at night.
