Perfect Oceanside Getaway!

My 3 sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s place. It’s spacious and so conveniently located right across from beautiful Onset Beach. We had a two hour delay getting in to the house, so Carolyn graciously offered to extend our check out time by 2 hours. We loved the village of Onset and enjoyed the local restaurants. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Great getaway

We were thrilled with our visit to Onset Beach. The house was delightfully pure New England, quaint,well appointed and in a marvelous area. Private and away from the chaos of the larger beach areas. Ample space for privacy yet enough family space for gathering. I hope to visit in warmer weather to take full advantage of all it has to offer thank you for sharing this property with us.

We had a lovely stay at this VRBO property. The home was very clean upon our arrival & nicely decorated, which made it a pleasant place to be. It was also in a great location, with an easy walk to the beach, outdoor concerts, restaurants, and the pier. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had a question or a need. We were also very pleased with the thoughtful amenities they provided, such as shampoo & conditioner, soap, paper goods, coffee, and even some spices. They also had beach chairs and towels, which was a huge plus. The kitchen was also very well-equipped with everything we needed. The only significant issues we experienced were with the temperature and the noise from the upstairs neighbors. We visited during a heat wave, and unfortunately, the a/c units in the bedrooms were not able to keep the house cool enough to be comfortable, especially since there were no units in the main living area. Additionally, we were bothered by the upstairs neighbors running around late at night. We reached out to the owners, and they were very responsive and contacted the neighbors about it. On a minor note, the large bathroom had a surprisingly tiny shower, which felt like a missed opportunity given the amount of space. We would highly recommend that the hosts consider adding fans, particularly in the living room, to help with air circulation and cooling. Despite these issues, we appreciated the hosts' communication and the cleanliness of the property.

Perfect Getaway

Had a perfect stay in the Sailor Suite over the holiday weekend. Came to town with 4 teenagers (a tough crowd) for a wedding and we were all very pleasantly surprised by the accommodations. So much space, huge kitchen, clean and comfortable. My bed was super comfortable, dare i say better than my own at home. Nice area of town, very walkable. Wished we could have stayed longer to explore. Would definitely book again. Thanks for neimg a great host, very responsive!

We enjoyed our stay in Onset very much! The first floor unit was spacious with two outdoor areas which we enjoyed very much. On site parking and parking passes were a huge plus. The location to the beach and town couldn’t be beat. We only used our car once in four days. The area is great for walking, dining, hanging by the beach or any type of water sports. We had a wonderful trip and made lasting memories!

Onset Beach Stay

Check-in/out was very easy. Very much appreciated that the host had many items in the house for use to utilize. A few things that I would say need improved upon is updating to central air. It was a hot and humid weekend and that window units barely cooled down the condo. Second on the listing page it said the house had a grill, something of which it did not. Along with where the grill was supposed to be there was a table and chairs but we couldn’t use them since the cousins were moldy. It was partially my fault because I thought I remembered seeing two bathrooms but there was only one. Lastly curb appeal is everything. We loved how beachy it was and the decorations were a perfect fit for the house. We also liked having the chairs outside on the larger part of the deck to relax at night, only thing that would have made it better is if I didn’t have to see tall weeds in all of the seashells. The location was perfect. Loved that it was so close to the beach and Main Street of town.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Dunlavy

Host profile image
I grew up in the area and love the beach. My husband and I also run a company (MemoryCo) that helps seniors stay engaged and entertained while in Assisted living/Memory Care.

Why they chose this property

This property was built circa 1890 as a Victorian Sea Captain's house. Later, after the turn of the century it was turned into a hotel known as the Marcy House, and later, The Prospect Inn. During the 1920's the property was known for having a 'speak easy' during times of prohibition. There is a lot of history and a lot of great energy on the property. The location is also prime, because it is steps to the beach and steps to many of the great restaurants in Onset. The apartments are very open and can comfortably a large family. The kitchens are well stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc.

What makes this property unique

We are uniquely situated in a perfect spot- steps from Onset and Shell Point beaches, steps from Marc Anthony's famous pizza, and right across the street from a fantastic breakfast diner. Within very close walking distance you will also find a local market/liquor store, post office, spa, salon, multiple beautiful parks, playgrounds, tennis courts, local bars, and nice waterfront dining options. We are also very close to the boat rental/kayak rental area. You could spend a week in Onset and not need to drive at all!
