We're so glad you enjoyed the location, the low tide, and Harveys Beach, and we appreciated chatting with you throughout your stay. Regarding the shower, our cottage is a vintage 1938 summer cottage, and the shower is located in a separate room off the back porch rather than in the bathroom, which was common for cottages of this era — we do note this detail in our welcome letter to guests. In the spring, once the cottage reopens for the season, we plan to freshen up the inside of the shower with new paint.

Such a cute, cozy home. Plenty of sleeping options. It is a simple home, perfect for a relaxing get away. The beach is in walking distance and local beaches are within 20 mins. The host is very considerate and easy to communicate with.

Me and my two grown grand daughters

We had a nice time walking the beach every night. Very short and easy walk to Swimming and walking the sand bar was wonderful. This place felt like all my visits to my Grandparents house in Houlton Maine as a child; 1960 era; Very rustic but charming. Price was fair.
