This seaside cottage was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, condiments, and coffee necessities. Everything was very clean, well kept, and comfortable. The host was quick to communicate and was very invested in making our stay the best it could be. The driveway is challenging to enter/exit but not unusual for the area - just take your time and have a spotter!

Thanks so much for the lovely review, it's so important to hear feedback. We are always working toward providing a more user-friendly parking spot (tough when we are located on a dead-end lane.) Hope to remedy this soonest with a new landscape design, making for an easier turnaround. Thanks again!

Wonderful Vacation Get-A-Way

We spent a week touring Cape Ann and this property was a perfect location for our vacation. House was clean, very well appointed, comfortable, and located with a beautiful view of the Harbor from the outdoor deck and from inside. This was a perfect location base camp for daily excursions all over Cape Ann and Cape Cod. We enjoyed this house and highly recommend this property.

The cottage is as advertised. So much care went into the art on the walls and the whole main room. It is a beautiful site. The kitchen had everything we needed. The patio was a joy as well. We enjoyed many of the restaurants that seem very close by
