Cute little house but some safety concerns

The house was cute and clean. It was centrally located. It was close to beaches. I had some safety concerns. There was no way to bring my dog outside without difficulty. There were a lot of loose bricks and stones in the backyard which caused tripping. In the front yard you had to climb over a large rock. The bathroom shower needs some kind of mat. I slipped and sprained my foot. It would be best for younger couples.

Great Stay!

I spent two weeks in the property and loved it. The host was immediately available and one issue with the heat was addressed right away. Cute place with great New England vibes. I was able to work from the property with no issues as well. Beautiful walk down to the cove and a very short drive up the road to the State Park. Great location!

Very cute and charming house. We found the decor and furniture comfortable and we were very much “at home” here. It’s a quick walk to the local beach and a ten minute drive into town.

Perfect beach getaway!

My best friend and I take a yearly girls trip and this house was perfect! It was steps to the beach and it was pet friendly which we love to be able to bring our dogs with us. Christine was also very great and responsive when I reached to her. Overall it was great stay and we will definitely be back for a longer stay!
