Great place to stay. Plenty of room for this work trip with my assistance in their children. Kids loved the pool and a really cool walk down to the beach.

Absolutely loved this property!! It was great for my husband and I, our adult children (8 adults including us) and 4 babies ages 3 and under. Very well appointed house lacking nothing and very clean, comfortable beds, great pool and porch areas. Loved everything about it! Did have an issue with the freezer and the company responded quickly (honestly it is just very tricky to close well- we learned;-) Would go back in a heartbeat while we can still fit in this house !!

Incredible Modern Beach Cottage

We move been coming to the same stretch if cottages along East Beach for years and Astin’s Cottage was the best yet. Modern decor, space for the entire family, 5 minute walk to the Ocean’s edge and a backyard oasis to relax. We hope to be able to come back again soon!

Beautiful home in great location

The home was beautiful, the pool was perfect, location to the beach was an easy walk, the neighborhood nice and shaddy for taking walks, it was a short drives to all the best restaurants on the island. Our only negative was that the dryer stopped functioning on our third day there and the management company was anable to fix it promptly. So we were unable to clean the towels and clothing for our toddler.
