The house was great! Perfect amount of space, loved the town and shops on Main Street. When we arrived, the lock was a little tricky at first, so we messaged the host and didn't get a reply. Luckily, we figured it out. Also, the property was clean, but due to the number of spiders and cobwebs, it looked like no one had been in there for a while.

Amazing house and community

We were there for the local triathlon weekend. This property was centrally located within easy walking distance to the water, race site, and restaurants. We didn't get much of a chance to explore downtown but still had a great time relaxing and talking to the locals!

We stayed here for our anniversary. It is a lovely cottage with seascape decor throughout. We really felt at home and relaxed. Everything was clean, so pretty, and left us wanting to stay longer. We will definitely come back.

Great stay for triathlon

We were in town for the local triathlon and had a great stay! My kids (3&4) and I were able to walk to the finish line from the location. The house was clean and large enough that we were all comfortable. If you have kids, it’s across the street from a cool boat playground. Diane was very responsive to my questions and provided plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Overall, a great stay!

Just the Perfect Spot

This was our first time visiting the area, wanted something close to the water and also walkable to what the town has to offer. This property fit the bill perfectly! We brought our own kayaks and were able to walk them across the street to the marina and put right in. Walking to town or the other end of the town to see the sunsets was nice too. The house itself was very thoughtfully laid out and comfortable. Would love to stay again!

Just about perfect.

The home decor and furnishings, location, and town were just what we needed. We did have to collect and bag up all the scented products during our short stay. We assumed the cottage had not been used recently and the various scents were strong. When we finally figured out how to set the mini split heating and cooling system, we were comfortable. Views of the lush lanscaping and birds through the windows was a highlight for us.

Quaint small home in perfect location of the town and all this beautiful time capsule of peace and tranquility has to offer. If you looking for a small cottage in a quiet location, this is the spacious place for you. Decor was very homey and plenty of DVDs to watch with the children.

Great location, cozy place

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location was ideal as we could walk to different places around rock hall and right across the street was a stop for the shuttle that runs on weekends so that was convenient. The process of getting in and out of the property was simple and efficient. We loved our stay.
