Beautiful view

I have stayed twice at this property and both times perfect! In fact my family is planning to book next year as a holiday let when they visit from England. The neighborhood is friendly and walkable with lovely sea views. I would highly recommend this property as a relaxing getaway.

Beach Town

The cottage is located on a point with a lighthouse in a very active beach town. Walkable to several beaches and the downtown restaurants and shops. Hosts live next door. Didn’t intrude but were available for questions. Very nice people!

Great spot for couples and solo vacationers!

I had a great week staying here for my vacation. The furniture was cozy, the natural light at the front of the house was great, the ocean breeze kept the worst of the heat away for most of the week, and the bed was big and comfy. The owners live closeby and were very responsive to questions and requests for help. The house is a very short walk to the rocky shoreline where the lighthouse stands. It was also a remarkably quiet area for being so close to beaches. Overall; a bright, clean, and cozy summer getaway. Highly recommended!

Delightful cottage steps to Scituate lighthouse!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Extremely comfortable Cottage with lots of nice amenities. We picked this Cottage because it was Pet friendly. A dog bowl and a gate to keep our dog safely on the porch were even provided! There is a ramp into the Cottage, which is terrific for an older pet. Morning walks to Scituate lighthouse are a favorite memory! We want to start house hunting in Scituate based on this beautiful vacation; such a charming community!

Respite by the Seat

When a local builder did not deliver my home on time, I needed a place to stay to be onsite everyday. This lovely one bedroom cottage was the answer. Cozy and comfortable. With the full kitchen and stove I had the option to make my own meals or enjoy many of the local restaurants!

Peaceful and Clean Area

We thought the stay was just the right size for us. Having never experienced Boston before, we wanted the freedom of coming and going as we pleased using a rental car. This stay was the center point of everything we wanted to do and go. We visited Boston, Salem, Plymouth, and Rhode Island. The downside was the lighthouse in the picture was being renovated, so we couldn't go inside, but we did get a lot of nice sunset pictures. The town of Scituate along this stay and the neighbor was very clean and the neighbors were friendly. If you want to have a rental car for your travels in Massachusetts, this is a nice and quiet stay.

Diane and Jerry were wonderful hosts! The cottage was small, but very well appointed. It's a great neighborhood, very safe and friendly! The Coffee truck each am was a big hit too! Jerry and Diane were very generous with homegrown vegetables, and the outside porch was perfect, not to mention the weather! If you're looking for a small, well-outfitted and reasonable rental, I recommend it highly!

Awesome hosts. They care about your needs and safety. Bad weather was coming and had to leave a couple days early and they were quick to refund for those days. They are great and caring people. Cute place and would love to stay again. I have nothing negative to say. Love this place

Great Stay

This was a comfortable, cozy cottage that was perfect for my stay in Scituate while visiting with family and friends. Diane is friendly and accommodating. She lives behind this property and was available to answer questions and also respected our privacy. The cottage was a good size for us, and was just a few houses from the Scituate Lighthouse and jetty. We were up each morning watching the beautiful sunrise. Thank you to our host for helping to make this visit relaxing and fun.

Perfect gat-away retreat!

This little cottage is everything you need and then some! There is a beach within very close walking distance, a jetty to walk and fish, a quaint New England lighthouse and a perfect harbor to either watch boats or kayak if you so desire! On top of that, the cottage has a very comfortable bed, two pull out couches, and all the kitchen amenities you'd want. It is a perfect place to disconnect and relax...the only drawback is that the internet is very good so you might feel obligated to check your email now and again! The hosts are really nice, super responsive and respectful of your privacy. If you are looking for a cute, cozy place this is just right!

Perfect Seaside Getaway

We had an amazing two weeks at this charming cottage, which is just steps to the lighthouse and a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Scituate Harbor. Diane and Gerry were gracious and accommodating hosts, and we will certainly be returning!

Private cottage on the water

This property was amazing value and in a great location. Diane and Jerry are the nicest hosts and were never intrusive but always available when needed. The space is detached from their main home and a large enough space so that my partner and I could both work during the weekdays without being in each other's way. It was so nice to walk the dog to the lighthouse in the mornings and walk to the neighborhood beach on the weekends. I can't recommend this place enough! Scituate itself is the perfect balance between coastal town with a vacation feel without the crowds of the cape.
