    This was our first time at the Lily Pad Cottage and we are already scheduled to come back next year. The cottage is a real gem. It is clean, cozy, and close to parks and to fun and necessary shopping. The specialness of it for us was the ability to sit, inside or outside, and watch the water and the clouds roll by, the sound of the waves and seagulls, an eagle and many other water-birds fishing right in front of the cottage.

    Cutest waterfront cottage. Artist owned and cared for. Which is reflected in its designer furnishings, artwork, with and cute and practical outdoor waterfront seating areas. Comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen ware, with indoor seating for watching the water and nature right out the bay window. Pretty flowers, firepit and a professionally designed garden.Is located in quiet neighborhood near coffee shops, best pizza place, park and more. We both thought it was even better in person than the inviting listing suggested.No detail was overlooked. Highly recommend.

    Cottage was exactly what we were looking stay in for our anniversary. Clean, cozy and quaint. Being right on the water was amazing. Although the weather did not allow us to use the outdoor spaces available it did not detract from our visit. We will definitely consider staying there again in the future.

    The property was serene and the exact place to recover from teaching. Alisa was so responsive when my coffee maker didn’t work and lovely to talk to. The views made me feel like I was on a live aboard and it was just ahhhhhhhhh

    I stayed at the Lily Pad for four days in early March and it was amazing! Alisa is a fabulous host and made sure I had everything thing I needed. The Lily Pad is beautifully designed, furnished and decorated. The kitchen is a great space for preparing meals and was stocked with everything, including delicious coffee from a local coffee shop. The views of the bay are incredible and I enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. The bed is very comfortable and getting to meet Alisa and her sweet dog, Sara, was a highlight. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it!

    The Lily Pad Cottage is absolutely perfect for 2 looking to get away and spend some quality time together. The view is beautiful. A lot of things to do out and about in the town or while hanging out at the cottage. We will be back ?

    Me and my wife found this little spot for our honeymoon and we loved it. It’s small but cozy, and for two people it’s perfect. The view is great, we had little ducks swim around near us and that made our day. You can tell the property manager really cares, everything inside the house was very clean and well put together. Just a heads up when we stayed we had to get our own dvd player as here wasn’t one that worked well, but the two tvs had all the streaming apps you could ever need. Overall very pleased with our experience here.

    From the moment we arrived we were so thrilled with our rental location. The views are amazing and we loved having coffee on the deck and lounging outside and reading. The design of the interior was so well thought out. Everything was great. The bed was so comfortable we both had some of our best sleep in a long time. The host was great to talk with. She was so kind and you can tell she has a lot of pride in her place. It is a must stay rental!
