  5/5

  This is a sweet house. We enjoyed the layout, the size & the fantastic screened-in porch. We loved the idea of the back yard better than the function. With small dogs & curious dogs, there were a lot of areas where dogs could get under the shed & the house & would be complicated getting them out, if they weren't ready to get out, which happens often with dogs. This is easily fixed.

  Loved the ease of coming & going from the location to get on the road to see stuff. The neighborhood was a bit noisy, too close for dogs not to see/react; when on walks, & to/from the car, dogs behind chain link fences barked all the time.

  I did not love having to strip the beds/gather all linens and centralize them on our day of departure. I think the rate is substantial enough that it should include that to be done by the cleaning crew.

  Overall, we very much enjoyed this rental. Nice location, cute town, well located to see all of the interesting & pretty of this coastal area, good food opportunities. It's nicely decorated, well-stocked.

  One note: I would switch (and we did) the two chairs on the 4-season porch with the ones in the living room. The bars we assumed were to raise and lower the seats were dangerously close to dog eyes & other dog parts.

  Thanks so much for your dog-friendly rental! It was very clean, very nicely set-up for the canine visitors. All of us found the sleeping very restful. If we head back to the area, we would certainly seek out this rental again.

• Clean, Comfortable Beds, Great View

  5/5

  The owners have thought of everything guests may need for a comfortable stay! The front and back porches were wonderful places to relax and enjoy being together. Kitchen had excellent pots, pans and dishes - nothing rusted or broken like some rentals. Spices, coffee and tea on hand were a nice bonus. The desk and dual monitors made it easy to get work done when we needed to - excellent office set up. The most dog friendly place we’ve stayed. There were no breakable decorations on tables that wagging tails can knock over. Dog beds, bowls, and waste bags were already there. Yard with a privacy fence made it easy for our dog to adjust to a new place. Short walk to the beach and the market made this a perfect place for all of us. This has the charm of an old beach town cottage with all the modern comforts of a lovely home.

  Great stay! Very nice home. Very clean. Only suggestion would be an easier to use coffee machine.

• Quiet Cottage Near the Bay

  4/5

  The house was clean, quiet and had a nice view of the water from the enclosed front porch. However, I would not say it is a waterfront property, because there is another house and a road between the cottage and the water. We stayed in the upstairs bedroom and the bed was large and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped although I could have used some small pots and some pot holders. The best features of the property were the front and back porches. The front porch was cozy and had a nice view of the water. The back porch was large, screened and had a large table that could serve as a pool table or ping pong table.

  There were a few things that could improve the property. First, there is no kitchen table - not even a little one where you could sit and have coffee in the morning. Meals had to be eaten on the table on the back porch, which is not heated. It was usually too cold in the morning and evening to comfortably have a meal (we were there in Oct). Second, there is no welcoming/instruction book in the house. There are six remotes and you have to try to figure out what they are for and how they work. When we couldn't connect to wifi using the QR code in the kitchen, we called the help line and they didn't even know what the wifi network name was. Third, the top of the stairs is a hazard because there is no railing on one side and the railing on the other side is very loose. It would be very easy to fall down these stairs at night.
