Our lovely stay in Marion at 288

Myself and my three daughters stayed a week in this lovely beach cottage by the bay. We loved the unique beach decor with a mix of old style nautical and modern touches. We enjoyed sitting by the water, and watching the crabs and herons when low tide would come. Having a fire by the bay while the girls played ping-pong was just perfect. The host Kellie Was Great and very easy to communicate with for any needs that we needed or questions that we had. Having a beach pass to the local Silvershell Beach was so awesome, the beach itself was great and very close by. We enjoyed getting ice cream at Annie’s ice cream shop and sitting by the water and watching the boats. We would love to visit again and definitely recommend this rental to anyone! Thank you, Kellie We loved every second of it and every inch of your wonderful, inviting bayside rental home!

A Little Slice of Heaven

This adorable boat yard home not only met, but exceeded our expectations! The home was adorable & clean and so beautifully decorated. Kellie the owner, was so friendly and helpful. She was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. There are so many gems in this boat yard but the ultimate is the boathouse patio that sits right on the water. Kellie has a very comfortable sectional couch for her guests to sit and enjoy their morning coffee or evening wine. I could have sat there all day, simply breathtaking! Great location, only 10 minutes to the bridges to the cape, we went on a cape excursion daily and even took the Ferry from New Bedford to Nantucket. Would definitely stay again… actually looking forward to seeing all the plans Kellie has to continue to develop the boat yard… this place is magical!

The perfect home for us!

My friends and I stayed at this beautiful, charming home for 3 days while we were in the area for a wedding. It comfortably slept 5 although there were 2 bedrooms. Despite it being a very hot weekend, we stayed cool in the house while getting ready as every room has a window unit AC. The downstairs bathroom was large and easy for all the girls to get ready in. There’s another smaller bathroom upstairs as well! In the mornings we would walk up to the waterfront and enjoy the amazing views. In the evening, we enjoyed sitting by the outdoor fireplace. There’s also an amazing bonfire by the waterfront. You can also use the kayaks. Kellie did an amazing job of hosting us, showing us the property and then adding some personalized touches throughout the house. She also let us check-in early! We would definitely return to this home for a relaxing weekend getaway!

Perfect home base for a weekend getaway with the family. Close to some quieter beaches if you're looking for an alternative to the busy crowds on the Cape. Lots of nearby trails to explore. While we did not get a chance to use them, loved that the host had bikes available for our use and kayaks available. Host was super responsive and clear instructions made finding the place and check in a breeze. I only wish we'd had longer to stay and enjoy.

Absolutely wonderful and unique stay in Marion. The restorations Kellie and her husband have done create a lovely blend of original charm with modern conveniences. Also, that this property is nestled in a working boatyard really added to the uniqueness which we loved as we are also sailors. Kellie was an amazing host who was super helpful throughout our stay.

Lovely

This review is for the one bedroom, water front cottage (sister property). The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated. I rely enjoyed the SMEG fridge and tea pot! Kellie was such a gracious host. The property is on a working boat yard so there will be people in and out. We were not bothered by this at all. Everyone was very friendly and non intrusive. A perk of this property is enjoying the barn view of the water with comfortable outdoor seating. Ate at a local restaurant “Cast” and was highly impressed with their delicious options. Our only small issue was the bed size is a Queen, which is fully disclosed in the listing so I knew upon booking. We would definitely stay here again.

Cape stay,,

The house was clean and nice for an older structure. It appears that the surrounding land is used for boat storage or something. Didn’t bother us but was unexpected. The house itself was clean and the property owner didn’t bother us which is super nice. We would stay again!

Everything about the cottage was fantastic. It's a beautifully renovated antique house that really sets the beach mood. I almost felt like I was on a movie set.... We enjoyed kayaking, and the host couldn't have been more accommodating.

Sweet old house made new!

We’re old-house lovers, so we were looking forward to our stay — and we were not disappointed! The updates to the house including the kitchen preserve older features like exposed beams and ceiling boards, and lovely old furniture pieces mixed with new comfy ones. The location is perfect for exploring the South Coast of Massachusetts, a hidden gem and much less commercialized than the Cape has become. Kellie was very responsive to our every need. The only thing that disappointed was that I thought we’d have a view of the cove from the house, which is not the case. It’s an easy walk though, and we might return when the weather is better for kayaking!
