Perfect spot!

The property was beautiful in a quiet neighborhood, our dogs loved playing in the backyard. The house is a 20 minute walk from Pier village, where there is shopping and restaurants. And it was an 8 minute drive to the coastguard beach, which has bathrooms on site. The kitchen was fully stocked making cooking at the house a breeze.

Perfect for Dog Owners

This property was wonderful for us traveling with our dog. The back yard was perfect for him to run and play with his ball. The house was well appointed and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Everywhere we went on the Island was super dog-friendly. We had a great vacation. Would definitely recommend.

Overall wonderful stay

The home has everything you could need and was very clean and organized. The area off the kitchen with the Murphy bed was the perfect office area for my husband as he did need to work while we were there. I reported an over abundance of ants in the yard while we were there and it was quickly remedied.

What a Wonderful Cottage.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sanderling Cottage! So peaceful and quiet, even with the airport close by. Everything one could need was provided: very clean, very well decorated, just the best spot for my DH, myself and my sister (this was a Silly Sisters' Vacation/Birthdays' Adventure). Even our Boston Terrier loved it. Thank you so very much, and we hope to visit again soon. Connie Bentz
