Place was very cute, nicely decorated and updated. Views were beautiful from the deck! Mattress in the bedroom was uncomfortable dipping in the center so we kept rolling into the middle.

Simply fabulous!

My wife and I spent 4 nights in this lovely little cottage right on Padanaram harbor. The deck was great for sunning, reading and napping, and the views at sunset were spectacular. The inside space was new, modern and very nicely appointed. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back!

Gem with panorama views, perfect for two!

We spent mornings on the deck drinking coffee and taking in the quiet water views and evenings watching the sunset. It was a lovely escape but still close enough to walk into the charming town.Very clean and contemporary feeling space with much more than you’d typically find in a rental. More like staying in your friend’s nice apartment than in a bare bones rental property.

Birthday Getaway

This might be one of my favorite stays. The space might be small, but it has everything you could possibly want. It was the perfect getaway. In fact the pictures did not do it justice. Our weekend was not the ideal weather and yet sitting on the porch was still serene. Anyone looking for a quiet, romantic, and cozy spot finds it with this gem. It was a great weekend retreat and the owners were beyond accommodating.

Cozy Bay View

My mom and I stayed here for two nights before meeting my husband and daughter for our foliage trip. It was super cute and clean. The view of the bay was gorgeous to see in the morning. We saw a beautiful rainbow through the kitchen and living room window. It was perfect for the two of us. The only problem we had was we arrived late and it was dark. There are two key locks and we kept trying the one by the door that doesn’t work and later realized there was another one on the floor that we couldn’t see bc the light on the porch wasn’t on. So if you stay here make sure to have your flash light on and look down for the box. Besides that it was perfect and would stay again.

This VRBO was one of the nicest we have stayed at. Location was lovely, even with houses surrounding it, the spectacular view made you feel alone. Very quit, even on a typically busy holiday week. Hostess was very good at communicating and the place was stocked better than any VRBO. Snacks, coffee, tea, creamers, paper towels and toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, shampoo and soap, even makeup remover. Very nice touch. Place is beautiful and perfect for two people. Had another couple over for swimming and happy hour, perfect. Lots to do in the area, with lots of decent restaurants. Must also be lovely in the winter. I’m a picky guest and typically do not give out 10’s. This lovely place is a solid 10. Loved it.
