    Amazing location for the cottage at Minot Beach. Quiet and peaceful and great views in different directions overlooking the beach or the marshes and even Boston skyline.Main room was great. Kitchen was a main congregating space. It accommodated our family of 5 well. Hosts communicated promptly when we had questions.Minor feedback: a few kitchen drawers were difficult to operate. In first floor bathroom, Shower curtain was stained and a few of the tiles had peeled. In the kitchen, there was no pot for soup or pasta (we only noticed this on the next to last day).

    Cozy cottage with a very lovely view. It has everything you need for your stay. My husband and I stayed with 2 of our adult children for 8 days. It was absolutely perfect. The location is wonderful, and the city of Scituate is very quaint and larger than expected! I highly recommend and hopefully we'll be able to visit there again!

    This house is wonderful! We stayed there and had friends visit us. The screened porch with the view of the marsh was the perfect place for cocktails and appetizers.

    First of all, we want to thank you for letting us stay in your home. We had to book it the last minute for my mother’s funeral. Wish we were there on a better circumstances. The location was great and the backyard view is beautiful.The main room and the kitchen were fantastic.The only problem we ran into was that the bathroom were just too tight. It’s hard taking a shower. We would love to use this property this summer with another couple but the bathroom situation would be an issue.Also, the heater work but because of the drafts on all the windows, we never felt warm.Overall, we enjoyed the house and its gorgeous views. Thank you very much

    Had a great time! The hosts were available should anything have come up, but our trip went off without any issues. The cottage is cozy and a great place to spend a few days!

    This charming cottage was a perfect middle base for our trips to Boston and Plymouth. The beach was a short walk and the back patio was great, making for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Nearby Scituate offered many wonderful dining options.

    Very pretty and very clean cottage in a beautiful setting. A few steps from a very picturesque beach. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well supplied and air conditioning worked well. The cottage is managed by i trip boston who were very responsive and had great communication. We'll stay again if planning to be in the area.

    The house is better than pictured - the panoramic views are beautiful! Sitting outside or in the screened in porch watching the sunset over Cohasset Harbor and the Boston skyline were highlights of this trip. We also walked to Minot beach each day. The outdoor shower and ac are great additions to the house! We would definitely stay here again. Thank you

    We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The home has everything you need and accommodated a group of friends for a wedding weekend. The surrounding area is beautiful! The host was timely in any questions and even let us check in early!
