About this property

Relax and breathe the salt air in this charming waterfront cottage. It is on well-known Bearskin Neck with a large deck and a big yard right on the water. While the shops, galleries, restaurants, and harbor are just a two-minute walk, the cottage is very private and quiet. "'Saltair" is fully furnished with one bedroom (two twin beds), a complete kitchen and a sunset across the water. It is filled with charm, history and antiques. There is parking on the property. The library and renowned Shalin Liu Theater are a five minute walk. It is a 7-10 minute walk to three beaches. The Commuter Rail and grocery story are a 15-minute walk. Every place you walk, bike or drive is bursting with natural beauty and quaintness. NOTE: the living room and bathroom floors in this funky cottage slant, so bring your sea legs :)

Cozy little escape to heaven

Ideally located for a walking vacation, and yet far enough off the main drag to be quiet and private. An utterly adorable place that just took us both back in time to childhood (60’s couple here), Saltair is awash in character and quirks, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more and hope to be back soon ! Had everything we needed and more while letting us unwind and relax.

Waterfront on Bearskin Neck

Quaint, historic cottage with water view from deck or breakfast table. Owner and neighbors very friendly and helpful. Very close to shops and classic views of the harbor, bay, and ocean. We loved our stay and are already looking forward to returning.

Fantastic Location with great ocean view

My mother and I had a wonderful stay at Saltair. The views from the porch are outstanding. Its a great place to start & end your day. The house is quirky but i like the charm of an older home. It is neat, clean, and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. The hosts are very nice and respond promptly to any questions/concerns you have. The neighbors are are all very friendly. There are two off-street parking spots which are fantastic for that location. The location is fantastic. Its a short walk to restaurants, shops, the beach, theater, etc. I would recommend this home to any friends and family.

Perfect for us

Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary, this quirky cabin by the shore placed us in the perfect spot. The view is spectacular, the house is well appointed, well loved, and it's history is well preserved. The floor slants, but as long as you're sure-footed, it doesn't cause any unnecessary hardship, it just adds to the ambiance. Having everything we wanted within short walking distance made this trip an easy success. We loved every minute of our time here and will return soon!
