This is a great property in a convenient location walk to beaches and coastal walk. The house has been thoughtfully prepared with fantastic cooking and kitchen equipment and the enclosed grassy garden is perfect for pets and kids.

Great place .Great location

We loved our stay at the Boathouse. It’s a great location—close enough to the beach and Cafes etc, yet far enough from the crowds of the town. The property is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. Cass was incredibly accommodating, making our experience even better. We’d definitely stay here again!"

We had a lovely stay in PM in the Beach House. It was beautiful & clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. We got caught up in the east coast flooding and Cass the owner was extremely helpful and accomodating. We highly recommend this home as a delightful place to stay.
