The cottage was adorable and the outdoor space was absolutely perfect! For early June, especially in the evenings, we didn’t notice the lack of air conditioning on the first floor. This property was well-stocked with everything we could’ve needed and the owner was quick to respond. Thank you so much!

My family and I were lucky enough to stay here for a weekend getaway and it is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! The view of the marshes with the ocean in the distance is amazing and it is so peaceful to take in the wildlife from the deck. The house is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you may need. Our host was accommodating and responsive and you can feel how much she loves the cottage/area. The beach is only a short walk around the corner! We are already thinking about making another trip and hope to be able to stay again. Thanks for a great trip!

Wonderful location and beautiful cottage

This home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and has everything you need for a wonderful stay near the beach. Although an old cottage it has been beautifully updated, including a new kitchen. Best of all are the outside decks and the view across the marsh to Good Harbor Beach, just a short walk away. Also close to Gloucester and Essex, with great restaurants.
