My recent stay at Rose Cottage could not have been any better.The cottage was absolutely immaculate. Normally when I rent a property, I find myself needing to clean or wipe things down upon arrival, but that was completely unnecessary here. The cottage features everything a guest could possibly need, and I especially appreciated the sharp kitchen knives, which are a rare find in rental properties.This was the perfect place to unwind and relax. Between the beautiful views, the exceptionally comfortable bed, and the easy walk to the beach, I truly wished I could have stayed longer. Rose Cottage is a 10 out of 10, and I will highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay.I certainly hope to visit again in the future. Maureen M Canton, Ct

A Perfect Stay

Our family enjoyed every moment of our time at Rose Cottage! Located on a quiet street with stunning views of the water, it was immaculately clean and thoughtfully well-supplied. Monica was a wonderful host, she was so welcoming and available to answer any questions and check-in and check-out were a breeze. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, thank you Monica for a perfect stay!

Restful Getaway

The house was beautifully arranged and kept, tasteful and comfortable. The enclosed front porch looking out on the water was a great asset. The neighborhood was comfortably walkable and there were hiking trails nearby as well as a charming village and restaurants with easy food. Our hostess was gracious and available for questions, even ahead of our arrival.

Perfect Haven

The cottage is in a beautiful wavefront neighborhood. The neighbors were all very friendly. The house is cozy and comfortable. The views is amazing. The property owner was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. It was the perfect haven for me during the holidays.

A total gem!

This Mulberry Point cottage was a slice of wonder with its incredible water views, coziness and location. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the front glass porch. The photos do not do it justice! Monica was a wonderful host and everything was well thought out and impeccable. We hope to be back at this seaside cottage again!

Beautifully Peaceful

Rose Cottage is a gem. The cottage is clean and beautiful, well laid out and well appointed. You can feel the thoughtfulness of the hosts in all the little touches like coffee options in the cupboard and luxurious bedding and towels. Great place to decompress from the busy world. Thank you, Monica! Well done.

Escaped the Unusual Heatwave

A wonderful clean and comfortable house with a fantastic view Ceiling fans and air conditioners aplenty as they were much.needed in the 100 degree weekend!Extra benefits? Dishwasher! Washer and dryer!!! And two jkyacks on the lovely association beach minutes away.One uncomfortable issue ? The driveway and the need to backdown very carefully into the main road.I wish I had met the owner in person but she was always available via text!

Quiet and comfortable

We had a relaxing stay and swam everyday in the cove. The view from the cottage was beautiful, the neighborhood lovely with friendly people, and the owner was helpful and available but not intrusive. The cottage itself was charminng with a well-equipped kitchen. Real value for the price.

Immaculately clean, stunning views, wonderful host

This is a perfect vacation home and immaculately "eat off the floor" clean, with comfy beds, a lovely renovated bathroom with really nice shampoo and soaps, a fully stocked kitchen including coffee, tea, spices,.oil and vinegars,, and just about every imaginable tool: Salad spinner, pots & pans, serving platters, barware, small appliances, good knives, meat thermometer for grilling, lobster crackers, the list goes on. Charming living room/dining area. We barely used the AC units as the sea breezes were delightful. Finally, the views. Whatever plans you have for the area, just realize you will only accomplish half of them because there is just not enough time to sit on the patio and stare at the water with a coffee or cocktail in hand. Monica and Bill are accommodating and gracious and immediately answered any questions we had. Didn't want to leave and we hope to return soon.

Exceptional Property

i wish i could give more than 5 stars, because that's what this property deserves. It is one of the cleanest, most well equipped homes we've stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot! Definitely on our list for a return visit. And, oh yes, location, location, location. Views of the cove and the sound from many windows, and those roses. Wow! I could go on and on, but you need to experience this for yourself, You'll be so glad you did.

Ideal in Every Way

Beautiful location facing the water. Tranquil. All the great reviews are accurate. Monica has thought of everything and has gone beyond with supplying literally everything. Even a gift of chocolates from the shop in town. The pantry is stocked. The kitchen has every pot, muffin tin etc. Very clean and safe. The owners live next door and happy to be invisible or in touch for anything needed. Hope to come again!

The “Rose Cottage” was everything it claimed and more. The views were spectacular, the house immaculately maintained, and a super host with attention to details. Would unequivocally recommend (except for the weeks I would love to be there)!
