Excellent location, just a 5 minute walk to Perkins Cove and the Marginal Way. Ample parking for 3 cars. Two bedrooms were well separated, one had bathroom, other used central shared bathroom. Kitchen was tight for more than one person, but included most everything you’d need. We grilled out on the deck for a few meals. Bring your own foil or grill mat, although the grill looked brand new and had a spare tank. Favorite part of trip was morning coffee on the deck, reading and listening to the birds and seeing the occasional deer feeding in the field behind the cottage. A couple issues came up during our stay - LED light over the sink started blinking, and window AC unit seemed to have mold or something that was bothering our allergies. Both issues were taken care of quickly. Other notes: the lower rack in the dishwasher was difficult to pull out. There was a coffee maker, but no coffee or filters - bring the “Mr Coffee” basket style. There were a few Kuerig pods, but no Kuerig. The key lock box was a little hard to spot - it’s mounted on the left railing tucked behind the overgrown bushes. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great location and quiet home

This house was in an ideal location, walking distance to everything you would want in town. I was also struck by how quiet the house was, nestled away from neighbors. It was really an ideal retreat and had everything we needed. Having beach, chairs, towels, and a beach cart was particularly helpful coming in from out of town.
