The Kayak Shack was adorable and clean. The view was beautiful and the host was courteous. We found the beds to be uncomfortable, very firm. It would have been nice if there was info regarding food shopping location(s) or menus for local establishments.

The property was great. A very beautiful first floor apartment on the water! The property was very neat and clean.We saw geese with their babies, turtles, and beavers in the water. It was very close to everything around it; coffee shops, restaurants, and the beach. Definitely can’t wait to stay in the future!

Loved this place

Fantastic location. Right on the water, walking distance to everything. With being a block from the main road, this place was very quiet. The kids loved being able to fish right off the back dock. We would definitely stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 May, 2026
There are window units for bedrooms during summer months. The weather has been in the 40’s and 50’s and you used heat throughout your stay. It wouldn’t make sense to install them right now. Thanks for the feedback.

Beautiful location located right next to the Cove with its own dock located right in front of the patio. Within walking distance to all the restaurants and beach side. It absolutely smelled fresh and clean just as you walked in. And we enjoyed the neighborhood friendly cat! He was a plus.
