Loved this cottage and it was a perfect fit for my family and my parents to stay at for a family reunion. Location was ideal and so close to the beach! Spent a lot of time on the front deck in the mornings, saw deer and lots of songbirds.

A comfortable and clean house with plenty of room for our family of seven. We cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen was adequately equipped for that purpose. The close proximity to fresh local produce made for delicious meals. The area offered so many fun opportunities that in five days we couldn’t do them all. I guess we will need to come back!

Weekend in Holland

We were in town for a graduation and to enjoy the beach. This was the perfect place to have our large group stay. The bikes, games, and movies kept the kids happy. The weather was chillier than expected so I really appreciated all of the extra blankets around the house. The front porch room was so cute and cozy to curl up with a book. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great stay!

A Wonderful Time

The property was so perfect for our family vacation! Plenty of space inside and out for 14! The house was full of country charm with a stocked coffee bar, s’more goodies for the fire pit, bicycles which were so much fun and the property is close to beaches, restaurants and the New Holland Brewery which was a hit with my sons. I highly recommend this property!

Great location

This was a great stay! Close to two beaches and the boat rental. House was clean and comfortable with almost every convenience needed for beaching. We utilized the bikes along with one we brought. Plenty of space for the kids to spread out. The upstairs could use a few bigger fans it’s air conditioned but warmer than the first floor. I would definitely book this again!

Everything you need!

The property was as described in the listing. We were a group of women and felt very safe. The neighborhood was quiet. The house had everything a family could need or want. The kitchen was stocked, lots of games, plenty of outlets, a full length mirror, etc. We mostly enjoyed the HUGE kitchen table! If we return to Holland, we will stay here again.

The Farmhouse Cottage was perfect for our vacation. I loved the original floors, they really added character to the house. The house has lovely decor to bring out all the Farmhouse features. The house had everything we needed and more. The location is close to nearby atttactions. It was nice to have a backyard for games and a fire pit to enjoy at night.

Wonderful home for family gatherings close to beaches

We stayed at this very comfortable home for three weeks with various family members coming at different times. We had a wonderful time! This home is very accommodating with all the thoughtful amenities provided. We loved the coffee bar! We loved being close proximity to all the beaches and having bikes to ride to them. And the large shady backyard was great for campfires and corn hole and allowing the kids space to run around. We sat on the deck pretty much every morning and evening. It was just a wonderful place to spend family time together.

My husband and I have four young children and this house was great! They had plenty of outdoor toys and things for the kids to do. The house was so clean and cheerful and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It was very quick and easy to get to many nature and recreation areas. I am sure we will be back in the future.
