We stayed in Beth’s cozy beachfront home while playing in local lax tournament and it was perfect. We loved the quaintness and seclusion of the property, its pricing, and the ability to walk out and immediately fish the river. Book it — you won’t be disappointed!

What an amazing and relaxing vacation on the beach! We loved staying at Beth's cottage in Salem (Oakwood Beach) with our 2-year old daughter and two dogs. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean, and being right on the beach with direct access to the water was a huge plus. We loved taking the dogs for walks on the beach, and our daughter loved collecting rocks and shells. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful as well. This was exactly what we were looking for with a calm and remote family getaway on the beach, and we can't wait to come back and stay again!

We had a fantastic girls trip at Beth’s cottage! She was a phenomenal host who was very welcoming and very responsive to any question we had. The cottage has everything you need so all you need is yourself and your clothes. Beth was no doubt the best host we have ever had. We definitely will be back!!

Cute little cabin on the river

The views are amazing, you can't get any closer to the water. The house is adorable, spacious and has a lot of extras to make you feel welcome. Beth is a great host and responds very quickly to any questions. This was our second visit and plan on going again in the spring.
