Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Location and home of great character Our stay couldn’t have been better. The owner was on top of every detail. This location absolutely made it so we didn’t leave the property for entertainment except for boat cruise and small excursions. Bonus was the owner providing passes to the adjoining park. Definitely would stay again. ##### Robert K. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek D., Athol, MA Jun 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing 5 day weekend Perfect set up for what our large family needed. Was in the area for a wedding and lucked out getting a house big enough for everyone. Excellent host who gave us a nice quick tour of the area and the private beach was a plus as the public one was quite crowded a couple of the days we were there. Clean house with pretty much everything you will need for your beach getaway. Talking about returning next year hopefully. Thanks again Mr. Zeller ##### Derek D. Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise P. Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First Post-Covid Family Vacation The actual house is dated, but the space was perfect and comfortable for our group of 13.. There were plenty of bedrooms, plenty of seating indoors and out, and, most importantly, just a short walk to the beach. Proximity to Ocean Beach Park has advantages and disadvantages. We loved walking the boardwalk early in the morning, and the children enjoyed the rides and splash pad. The concerts and fireworks were enjoyed by the adults right from the front porch, but were somewhat a problem for the bedtimes of the younger members of our group. Michael was a great host. ##### Denise P.
