"All was exactly as we expected except for the all night and early morning wake up by the crazy loud barking dogs that sounded as if they were right outside our door. The wood stove functioned well for heating the space and the bedding was great for our needs. Communication with the host, Lisa, was great!"

Crabber's Cottage - Walk to Beach, In Town, Comfortable

10/10 Excellent
"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cottage was more spacious than expected and suited our needs. Well-stocked kitchen and lots of towels. Wish I'd paid better attention that there's no cooktop/stove but we made it work with bbq grill and ample-sized toaster oven. King size bed was best we've ever had in a vacay rental. Very short walk to harbor overlook where we took our chairs & coffee in mornings and wine in evenings."
