This house is exactly as shown. Perfect for a family. All the things you need to enjoy the beach or to be at home on a rainy day. Christeen has clearly taken great care of the house. It is extremely clean and it worked really well for our group.

Lovely, quiet get away

My friends and I had a lovely time at the house. It was quiet, sunny, and a nice break. It was nice to be close to options, but still quite secluded. We went for runs each morning, and enjoyed soaking up the warmth in the sunroom/patio area.

Lovely New England Cottage

Clean and cozy cottage, typical of renovated 1900’s era homes. While there were a few “glitches”, Christine addressed them immediately. The photo of the upstairs bathroom does not really do it justice. It is a spacious bathroom with a lovely antique vanity. Shower worked for me - but I am on the short side. Would definitely stay again!

Cute little house but some safety concerns

The house was cute and clean. It was centrally located. It was close to beaches. I had some safety concerns. There was no way to bring my dog outside without difficulty. There were a lot of loose bricks and stones in the backyard which caused tripping. In the front yard you had to climb over a large rock. The bathroom shower needs some kind of mat. I slipped and sprained my foot. It would be best for younger couples.

Great Stay!

I spent two weeks in the property and loved it. The host was immediately available and one issue with the heat was addressed right away. Cute place with great New England vibes. I was able to work from the property with no issues as well. Beautiful walk down to the cove and a very short drive up the road to the State Park. Great location!

Very cute and charming house. We found the decor and furniture comfortable and we were very much “at home” here. It’s a quick walk to the local beach and a ten minute drive into town.
