This is always one of the best VRBO experiences we have. This place is amazing for our family of 6 to stay at. And room for more if needed. Location is the best. Steps from the bay beach and a short walk to town. And they keep improving it. The work in the kitchen and bath made it even better.

Our second year at the Gray Cottage was as great as the first. This is a wonderful place for families to stay. Very close to the bay beach and near enough to the town center to enjoy the great restaurants. The cottage is well appointed and always clean. Check-in and check out could not be easier and communication with our hosts is a breeze. Hoping to go back again in 26'.

We had a wonderful stay. Very family friendly. Wish I had found this house years sooner when my granddaughters were babies. The cottage is big enough for all of us. We all love that we can eat together at the dining room table. We’ve been looking for a house that works for us, I think we’ve found it.
