My goodness we are so happy to have found this place. The home is neat as a pin and the pictures are totally deceiving!! The downstairs bedroom was a must for our older family members. Upstairs the living space is honestly huge and SPACIOUS. The views are lovely. Foxs lobster is .4 miles down the road along with Nubble lighthouse. Such a cute quiet neighborhood. So convenient to long sands and short sands. It was rainy but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this beautiful home. Franny and Luke texted every single day to check in and see if we needed anything. Just a wonderful experience, home, and location. 10/10 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### rebecca r.
