Larry was amazing and so accommodating with all of our needs. The property is a perfect tranquil waterfront getaway. The cottage has a warm rustic charm. While it feels secluded its not far from anything. This cottage offers a peaceful haven that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated. We highly recommend.

Myself and my dog Bonnie stayed for 3 nights and had the best time. The place was cute and cozy right on the water. All I could hear were birds and the breeze blowing in the trees. It was so relaxing. The owner and his dog Shadow were wonderful. Very friendly and now my dog has a new friend. Would definitely stay there again.

"Quaint scenic get-away"
We felt like we were far away from everything but in 5 minutes by car we were at a shopping center and great restaurants. The boathouse loft was well appointed with everything we needed. The owner was welcoming to us and our dog. Amazing view of Swan Pond, a beautiful little salt water estuary we kayaked & paddle-boarded on. Easy access to multiple town beaches & the national seashore beaches! Loved our week-long stay & will be back.

Beautiful peaceful spot. Using Laurence’s kayaks to go down the river to the ocean beach was the highlight of the of the trip! Good location to restaurants and shopping. Our dogs loved playing with Shadow, Laurence’s wonderful pup. Our host gave us good recommendations and was available for any questions.

What a fabulous vacation we had! When we drove up, Larry & King were there to greet us and give us a tour of the property. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful waterfront vacation complete with 2 kayaks, a Stand-up Paddle board and canoe. The outdoor area had a fire pit that unfortunately we never used even though Larry cut up some firewood for us!
