We have chosen Home By the Sea at least 8 times over the past 9 years. We love the location of the house. We are just a few steps from the beach, and very close to Scallop Cove convenience store for a quick ice cream. We feel like we are at home when we stay. The beds and bedding are wonderful, and the kitchen has everything we need to fix a quick snack, or if we decide to cook a complete meal. We will often sit on the screen porch in the morning or late in the evening. We use the bikes that are available to us, and often the beach chairs and umbrellas. It is nice to know you don't have to pack as much as you might somewhere else. The owner does a great job of staying on top of what might need replacing or repairing. Updated flooring, new refrigerator, new TV and weather monitor... Owner also give great tips on local events, restaurants and sightseeing. Can not say enough good things about this rental!
