A gem of a place - super quiet and private, well equipped, parking right outside, surrounding neighbors very kind and friendly and a walk into town. Finding it was confusing because the #number in the listing is something assigned by the rental agency and does not correspond to the number of the house - we had to identify it from the photos, Our only other issue was with the shower - the water was scalding hot and the retrofit nature of the unit meant it fell off any time we tried to adjust the angle. When we decided a bath would be a safer option, the stopper didn’t work, which meant stand-up bathing by the sink instead. While this was a minor annoyance for us, it would have been quite dangerous for kids, so if you’re going as a family, please be careful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful and private setting. The number shown in the listing is an internal reference number and part of the listing title. For security purposes, we’re unable to display the house number in the listing, but our arrival instructions include the complete property address and house number. We haven’t received previous complaints regarding this, but we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We also appreciate you letting us know about the shower issue. We’ve informed our manager so it can be inspected and the necessary repairs can be made. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to host you again someday!

Nice Place - Heaters Not Working

Place is nice. Great location. Downstairs heaters did not work though, so we were VERY cold whenever hanging out downstairs.

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.
