What an incredible indoor/outdoor beach cottage esperience! So charming and relaxing. The icing on the cake for us with our 2 year old was being pleasantly surprised with a training seat on the toilet for her. We can’t wait to return soon. The only wish for the space would be a better mattress, but it didn't deter us from loving our experience! Thank you! ##### Mara C. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathleen Oct 1, 2023 Peaceful view towards the ocean through the opened wall of windows. Great room was spacious, well supplied kitchen. Large rainfall shower with good water pressure. However, there is no storage for clothing, so we lived out of suitcases for the 5 days we were there. It met our needs. ##### Kathleen Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim P. Sep 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well Equipped! This place was perfect for two and still felt like you could entertain a crowd with all the kitchen equipment and the indoor/outdoor living (cool nano-wall!). Our only complaint is that there are no windows in the living area to keep open at night. It can get a little stuffy. ##### Kim P. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kate M.

Could use a fan and/or insultation to help cool the place down. And the sofa bed mattress could be relaced. Otherwise lovely. ##### Kate M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Arianne A. May 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Semi-Private Unit/ Difficult Entry/Exit The unit itself was very nice, well appointed and in a great location. It had everything we needed to cook and bake. The fresh loaf of local bread was a really nice surprise. At the time of our stay (May 2024) the staircase down to the unit was under construction. The only way down to the unit was a dangerous trail with wobbly steps. This was a challenging climb in and out, but with luggage, it was a nightmare. ##### Arianne A.

The cottage was the perfect size for 2! Great views of the town. You can hear the ocean from the deck! Kitchen was stocked well with appliances and spices/essentials. It was a trek up and down the stairs anytime you wanted to leave the cottage. Parking was difficult most of the time, but honestly your within walking distance (down a hill) to restaurants, shops and the beach. It had a heater for the cold nights. No AC but with the windows open it was very comfortable during the hottest times of the day. ##### Laura W.

This happens throughout day and night. Rental company tried to fix but was unsuccessful so we unplugged it. ##### Gayle K. ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Sep 9, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service No disclosure about the situation with the cottage next door. They had to walk across our "private" deck everytime they came and went. I would not have rented this property if I had know we would have NO privacy.

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was very convenient with expansive views of the ocean and the hills. For the cost I would have expected a little more on the inside. The sofa and sofa pillows were dirty/stained and in need of cleaning. The sofa bed was awful. The deck furniture was dirty/stained and in desperate need of cleaning. The deck could use a powerwash. Many of the dishes were sticky from the open shelving and not having been washed. There were no extra blankets for the sofa bed. The bed in the bedroom could use an update as well. It just seemed that everything needed an update. Kathy in the rental office was wonderful. When the nano doors didn't quite work she had Pine Tree, the handyman come and take a look and he got them to open for us. The customer service was great.It was a great unit to sit on the deck and people watch for sure. The full time neighbors were awesome! We actually had a drink next door one night with them. Super kind and generous people.I'd love to stay again but would need the place to be in better shape. ##### Jeanne S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### George S.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but the mattress was a problem for us. It's very soft so both of us had sore backs for a week (in one case longer) after our stay. We'd like to come again but only if they get a new mattress. Not being picky, this one was really bad. Very much appreciated the delicious sourdough loaf, thank you!! ##### Kathleen H.

The space is perfect for 2, with maybe even the addition of a child. It is very easy to walk to the store, the hiking trails, and restaurants. I love that the whole front of the house basically opens-- with folding windows on a slider. There wers some lightbulbs out, and we needed to buy batteries for the battery-operated (very pretty!) candle. Though I am sure that they are very difficult to maintain in the ocean climate, I feel like the outdoor furniture and cushions could use some rehab. Overall, the location and comfort was great. ##### Amanda A. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia S. Sep 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The view is everything! Property could use some updates with sofa (saggy and not so comfortable to sit on). The bed mattress was also a bit uncomfortable as it kind of "dips" in the middle. We are not really fussy people, but upgrades could be implemented to enhance the comfort of renters. I wouldn't stay in this specific property again The property works for 2 people and the outdoor deck space is great. ##### Cynthia S.

I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, this is a wonderful, cozy place to stay. The place is cozy and yet has the feeling of space because of the nanodoors, which open up on to the front deck. Sharing with near by neighbors passing through to get to their rental was easy and unobtrusive. According to our 15 year old son,the foldout couch is pretty old and worn and could use updating. There are some quirks to the doors and locks, but they are easy to learn and adjust to. Perfect place for a couple, a little tight for 3-4 but doable! ##### Alexis L. ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrew C. Mar 30, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Great place, if an ant infestation doesn't bother you This property's a mixed bag – on one hand, it's an extremely cute little cottage with a decent view of the ocean. The deck is awesome with lots of space to relax (although the outdoor cushions are in need of a serious cleaning). Well-equipped kitchen, comfy couch, great big table and huge glass sliding door; lots of pro's here. However, there are some serious cons, mainly the ant problem. While we appreciated the vast array of spices and condiments provided by the property managers, there was a big bag of sugar that had been \*left open\* and was swarming with ants. We had to toss a ton of stuff. Maile was very helpful on the phone and promptly brought us some ant traps, however they can take a week or more to work and so we were dealing with ants for our entire trip. We weren't able to cook much of the food we brought since there were so many ants in and around the stove. Additionally, because of COVID we obviously wanted to wipe down all the door handles and surfaces ourselves just in case, and there were dirt-stains and smudges that wiped away very easily, suggesting that these areas had not been deep-cleaned at all since the last guest was there. We washed some pots and pans that similarly had little spots and bits of food that were very easily cleaned, which again suggests that they had not really been cleaned or even inspected recently. That's a little gross as it is, but given the pandemic it is completely unacceptable. When we called the office to voice our concerns, Margaux picked up and was sort of rude to us. She didn't seem interested in listening or addressing any of these issues in any serious way beyond getting us off the phone as quickly as possible. We eventually settled on a partial refund (which honestly should have been bigger, considering the pandemic and how much our level of comfort was impacted by the ant infestation), and she sent us some rags and disinfectant. If the property managers would hire an exterminator and a better cleaning service that will actually wipe down the surfaces between guests, then this could be an excellent place. As it is, however, I cannot recommend it at its current price. Oh, also – there's a tree that hangs over part of the deck, and a crow pooped on me. It might not be on their property so maybe they can't trim it but... somebody really should. ##### Andrew C.
