The Captain’s Cottage was a perfect weekend getaway. The views were picturesque, the surrounding area and ambiance was quite peaceful, and the home itself was superbly clean, cozy and exquisite. The attention to detail was duly noted, as every room, and nook in the house offered something unique and special, inviting each guest into a feeling of warmth and coziness.

Nice place!

We have rented a number of places on VRBO and this is our favorite. It was charming, clean and spacious. We don't have small children but if we did this would be perfect with a game room downstairs and an outdoor playhouse. Would definitely return!

Look No Further! Such and amazing find. The host was lovely to work with and the property stunning. A homey coastal cottage that offered something for everyone. Comfy beds, board games and puzzles, huge flat screen and TV and cozy blankets for cool mornings. If you have small children the play house in the backyard is a dream and the beach pass that is provided gives access to a great family beach for swimming or looking for shells. Super easy walk to town and a great restaurant, Harbor Mist, a block away. This place has it all!
