Perfect spot to rd connect with a few friends as we were in town for a wedding. From the initial entry in to stone floor the sun room (stunning) to the spacious bedrooms and first floor where we could lounge on the sectional and eat at the dining table it was cozy, clean and perfectly decorated. The owner was quick to respond to inquiries, gracious in allowing us an early arrival. Only point of note is that the shower in the upstairs bathroom is very short (did you the angled ceiling) so not easily used by tall guests. But the shower in the first floor was a great alternative. Highly recommend.

Beautiful area right near the cove which was great for our dog and us.. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, linens were soft, and since our visit was during the wintertime, we were very happy that the house was well heated.

Very cute and charming house. We found the decor and furniture comfortable and we were very much “at home” here. It’s a quick walk to the local beach and a ten minute drive into town.
