Charming cottage in perfect location

This was our second stay at Pamela’s lovely cottage. It is one of our favorite places to stay. It is comfortable, cozy, and provides everything you’d want. We loved that you can walk to town and the decor is charming especially Mr. Doane’s wall. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Pamela. Hope to return next year!

September Retreat

Spent the month of September relaxing at this lovely property. It is charmingly furnished, cozy and warm. The views of the river and tidal basin are stunning. It’s so close to everything yet amazingly quiet and peaceful. Pamela has provided everything you might need and is available for any questions or concerns should you have them.

The sweetest cottage; incredible location

This cottage is on the small side (perfect for 2 people imo) and perfectly appointed. The location cannot be beat. To wake up everyday, with a peek into the harbor, is pure joy. We were lucky to have glorious weather -only one rainy day. It was muggy and warm and the AC works great!! A huge bonus. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Just perfect

The cottage was so fitting for us that we both agreed we could live there full-time. Sometimes when I think of "cottage", I think of musty, dusty, and dark with flooring and furniture from the 70's. Pam's cottage is the exact opposite. The cottage is well laid-out with comfortable furniture and tasteful decor. The kitchen is well supplied and the grill was a bonus. What delighted and surprised us the most was its location relative to town, to the peaceful grounds of the monastery, and the beach. We walked everywhere! We live about 30 miles away in another idyllic coastal setting, but felt like we were further away, like many states away. What a great place to enjoy some fun and relaxation.

Family vacation

The house was in the best location. Very easy walk to downtown to the shops and restaurants. However, the house definitly had signs of wear and tear and not quite as clean as I expected it to be. There was also an awful smell in the bathroom.

Perfect Getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The entire process from booking to checkout was smooth and easy. Pam, the host, was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was in place for our arrival. The place itself was cozy and perfect for a winter retreat, with the fireplace adding an extra touch of warmth and comfort. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal—just a short walk to town, so we could easily explore local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a hassle-free getaway in a great location!
