Loved our stay at this cottage! Amazing location right in town with easy access to both sides of the island. The space was perfect for our family—clean, well-equipped, and super comfortable. Great communication with the property manager made everything easy. Highly recommend!
We were so impressed with the place. Impeccable & so cozy. We participated in the Moran constitutional relay and it was in the perfect area. Close to Moran state park and downtown.

Beautiful little cottage in a quiet garden setting, just across the street from the beach. The house is lovingly furnished and exceptionally well-equipped. Beds, sheets, towels all first class. We have stayed in hundreds of such properties and this is one of the best. Highly recommend.
Lovely small rental home nearby town and beach areas
This is a very nice small house, with an efficient floorplan. The kitchen was very well apportioned, and was probably the best overall kitchen I've experienced in a rental home. The check in was easy, and the door code made everything simple. The only issue I had with it is that the beds are very hard and not especially comfortable. That's a bit of a problem for a place where you want to sleep for several nights. Softer mattresses would really put this place over the top.
