Charming cape-style home
5/5 This adorable little house and its surrounding property are nicely cared for, with a lovely outdoor area and easy off-street parking. The home was spotless, with a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, nice linens, terrific shower, good lighting. Gino was prompt and informative in communicating, and went out of his way to ensure that we were all set. We enjoyed exploring Essex and surrounding towns - all within easy driving distance. The property gave us a perfect base for a couple days of rest and rejuvenation.

Great Cape a short walk from town
5/5 Stayed at this property with my partner for two nights. Gene was very prompt about returning my calls and answering any questions we had. Our check in process was easy using a lockbox at the back door. The decor is a bit of a throw back but overall the house was very clean and comfortable - plenty of towels, extra pillows and throw blankets to get cozy on the couch. The kitchen had a new fridge and was very well stocked - a full spice rack which was a nice touch and even some ice cream in the freezer! The house is located a short, very pretty walk from the town which was wonderful. It’s on a main road with a pond and the fire house across the street. I was concerned it may be on the noisy side but that was not an issue at all. We felt very safe staying here and appreciated the ease, comfort and cleanliness of it all.

A Perfect Location
5/5 Our family had a wonderful long weekend in this lovely home. So comfortable, close to everything, and lots of yard space for our son to run around in. Gino was kind enough to leave us some fresh milk for coffee and some ice cream in the freezer. The bed in the master is so comfortable, and the entire home is incredibly clean. We hope to return again!

Lovely home, well equipped for a relaxed visit!
5/5 We were visiting family in the area and found the location especially convenient. The house itself was perfect for our comings and goings and for having people over for dinner.
