The view was fantastic of the cove and beautiful surrounding landscape. The house was charming and inviting. We loved the patio with the firepit. The primary bedroom was lovely and spacious. The living room, with fireplace, offered an inviting space for relaxing. The kitchen was well-laid out. It did lack items that would have made cooking easier and more feasible: measuring cup, sharp knives, at least one large pot, and some food storage containers would have helped. ##### Jeff Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John P. Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great cottage right by the water. Spectacular views and perfect for a small family. Train is close to the house and a bit loud, but we knew that when booking. A little cleaning would go a long way (vacuum the dead bugs from the windowsills, make sure the coffee pot doesn't have old coffee in it, etc). ##### John P. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica P. Oct 20, 2024 #### Views!!! Very old home but breathtaking views & great potential. The neighborhood is amazing! Only 1 tv in the master bedroom. ##### Jessica P. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Charming cottage with screened porch and patio .3 miles to Haigis beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Dennis-Port-Hotels-Charming-Cottage-With-Screened-Porch-And-Patio-3-Miles-To-Haigis-Beach.h36369978.Hotel-Information) > > [Bearskin Neck Motor Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Rockport-Hotels-Bearskin-Neck-Motor-Lodge.h12750861.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Boston-Marlborough.h5422.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Boston-Marlborough.h22959.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Best-Western-Royal-Plaza-Hotel-Trade-Center.h14628.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Boston/Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-BostonMarlborough.h203597.Hotel-Information) > > [The Charming Gem Near The Water!](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Bedford-Hotels-The-Charming-Gem-Near-The-Water.h90109063.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites Boston Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Boston-MarlboroughApex-Center.h19900971.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Brockton (Boston), MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Brockton-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1330307.Hotel-Information) > > [Walk 1/10 Mile to Lecount Hollow Beach!](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Wellfleet-Hotels-Walk-110-Mile-To-Lecount-Hollow-Beach.h72078513.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-MarlboroughApex-Center.h20178059.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Street Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Sea-Street-Inn.h26468676.Hotel-Information) > > [Freebird Motor Lodge by Reverie Boutique Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Hunters-Green-Cape-Cod.h6589307.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Springfield West Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Springfield-Hotels-Best-Western-Springfield-West-Inn.h14144.Hotel-Information) > > [7 Bed - Private Beach - Ocean Front w/Boat Moorings - Fully Remodeled ](https://www.expedia.ca/Duxbury-Hotels-Direct-Ocean-Front-Beach-House-On-Saquish-Beach-Paradise-In-Plymouthduxbury.h35203161.Hotel-Information) > > [One Bedroom Luxury Cottage at Blantyre, Relais & Châteaux](https://www.expedia.ca/Lenox-Hotels-Old-Bath-House-Cottage-At-Blantyre.h64167871.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Boston / Fitchburg, MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Leominster-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Boston-Fitchburg.h8458771.Hotel-Information) > > [Sonesta Select Boston Milford](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Sonesta-Select-Boston-Milford.h19011.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Boston Milford](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h12187.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Auburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Auburn.h1066413.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Family Resort and Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Family-Resort-And-Inflatable-Park.h5306790.Hotel-Information) > > [Adorable condo with patio, shared pool, & hot tub - close to the water](https://www.expedia.ca/Brewster-Hotels-Adorable-Condo-With-Patio.h38310256.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak n’ Spruce Resort in the Berkshires by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Lee-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Oak-N-Spruce-Resort.h20875006.Hotel-Information) > > [Welcome To Tidal Fix!
