Lovely cottage for our family of 3- enjoyed morning coffee out back overlooking the marsh every day. 10 minute walk down to the beach! Emily was kind enough to drop off a beach umbrella when I couldn’t find one in the wagon- thanks!

Weekend getaway at GRB

My daughters, in their 20s, and I were looking for a weekend getaway, and since goose rocks is our favourite place, we decided to find somewhere that could offer us an easy walk to the beach, and this did not disappoint. Emily was extremely communicative, the house itself is absolutely adorable, we had a little issue with the heating, but Emily was quick to answer as well as with the Wi-Fi. I would rent this house Again!
