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.

Beautiful cottage

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.

Beautiful home!

We loved staying here! Kellie was a great host and the home was spacious and beautiful. We loved sitting by the water for breakfast, took lovely canoe ride during the day, and had a nice fire in the evening. I would love to visit again.

A Wonderful Place to Stay

Our stay was amazing! Kellie was so welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. The home is so gorgeous and cozy and is a great place to unwind at after a day of touring the area. The little eating area is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee and start the day. Highly revommend this place if you're loking for the Cape Cod feel!

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!

Great time

We enjoyed our stay a lot. We loved the cosy environment directly at the water. It was located very practical for us as it was only a few minutes away from Tabor Academy. Kellie made us feel welcome and gave us some great recommendations on where to eat in the area and we’d definitely love for her to host us the next time we’re in Marion.

Marion Gem

The house was by far the cleanest property we have stayed in to date. The house was filled with beautiful accents and was well stocked. The grounds were big and our favorite part was a couch set up overlooking the water. It was peaceful and beautiful and we miss the tranquilty afforded us in this rental.

Great Getaway

Beautiful space and a really thoughtful host. Dog friendly. Great clawfoot bathtub to relax in and everything you need to cook your own meals. The hammock was a favorite spot of mine. The low ceilings upstairs and full-sized bed were a little tough for my 6'3" husband. The property is on a beautiful waterfront on a boat yard, and right on the main highway so you can get access to the cape, shopping, beach, etc. easily.

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!

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!

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!
