Very cute and charming cottage. Owners were very responsive with questions. Easy checkin/checkout. Very clean and comfortable. Note this property is not on the river, which was kind of confusing due to some of the photos on the listing.

We decided to try VRBO as hotels/motels are a hassle. Melwood Cottage will absolutely not disappoint! Very tastefully decorated, very interesting books to read from local history to herbal gardening, surfing, etc. It is plenty roomy, very fresh and clean in a very quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is well appointed with utensils, cookware, all the basics plus extras. The main bed was comfortable and there is also a second bedroom with a day bed but we did not use that room. It is nice that they allow you to use the laundry although we did not need to. Don't hesitate or wait to book if you want a very charming home away from home get away! ##### Al A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Emily S. Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Comfortable small house for a getaway The house was neat and clean, easy to access. We enjoyed everything about it with the exception of the missing river views. The listing indicating “outdoor dining” with river views was deceptive and was a big reason we chose the house. Our family enjoys dropping a kayak in the river in the evening, sitting out and watching the kids paddle around and despite requesting information about the suitability for this, there was no confirmation or denial that it would work. It turns out, you can’t see the river and going to the area pictured in the listing seems invasive to the home in the front of the property. It just wasn’t what we expected from the listing. Otherwise, the house was fine - clean, well stocked, and worked for sleeping. We enjoyed the beaches nearby. ##### Emily S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James B.

Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Cottage near the river We loved staying in this quiet coastal cottage! Close to downtown while still an intimate setting. Hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again. ##### Heather F.
