This was my third year staying here. I love the tranquility of the cottage. Fifteen minute walk into Short Sands for the beach, ice cream,restaurants and arcade. Rocky beach across the street keeps me coming back every year. I hope to come back next year. Krista

Amazing place

Peaceful location perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. Close walk to short sands beach and attractions. Even closer to a rock beach with great views worth a stop. Communication with property owners was excellent and property exactly as advertised. Property contract, house rules, amenities well communicated and house rules are very reasonable. Would highly recommend this property!

Perfect location

Our stay here was delightful. Marion and Gary were fantastic hosts! This location is walking distance to Short Sands and a short 2 minute ride to Long sands and to Nubble lighthouse made this location perfect. House amenities were fabulous and property looked great and very clean. Will be back for sure!

Great location!

This was our second time staying at this cottage. The location couldn't be better--it's an easy walk to Short Sands and generally a quiet neighborhood. The cottage is very comfortable and was clean and well stocked with cooking utensils, blender, toaster, etc. Marion was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We'd stay there again!

Peaceful and Beautiful

This cottage is exactly as depicted in the photos, just even more charming and welcoming in person. Easy parking, great host communication, super clean and well equipped. The location is wonderful on a quiet, serene street, no noisy neighbors or traffic. As an escape from the city for us, our dog truly loved this. The walk into town is easy, for breakfast, dinner, and to Short Sands beach. A charming cottage that we hope to return to in the future.
