They’ve raised the back track fee to two hundred….oh well
Our stay was wonderful. The cottage is exactly described & very peaceful. Hop skip & a jump to the beaches & local attractions. Thank you Liz & Todd for sharing your home with us! We would love to rent again.
Wake up to birds and lake view, cross the street and swim, lunch, drive ten minutes to beach, grill some fish caught on the breechway, watch the sunset, rinse and repeat. I’m already dreaming about next summer here!
Our second year looking forward to #3
Had a great time!
Our family had such a wonderful time! We are talking about booking it already for next year! Thank you :) Ariel
A very pleasant stay with great views. A great space for a visit from local family & grandchildren. We were in our hometown for my class reunion held only 5 miles from this VBRO… it was so very convenient! Beautiful sunsets and sunrises right out the porch windows….. very relaxing. Just about everything you would need is there. We left you a 2qt pitcher as we needed one but are stocked with them at home. It was a good trip!
My son and I rented this spot and we so enjoyed our time. The beach was amazing and return to the home was so inviting and comfortable. Well worth it
Our stay on Sanctuary Road was just about perfect. The location was great; especially sunsets on the pond. Swim beach on the pond was warm, with no sand. We love both Charleston and Blue Shutters beaches. The house was equipped with everything we could want or need. The best part tho was the nights when the sky was clear. There’s a lot of stars in that sky! Also, if you fill the bird feeder, you will be rewarded with bird sightings!
We’ve stayed at Liz & Todd’s place several times over the years & we absolutely love it. We cook/grill almost all of our meals & have always had everything we’ve needed. Liz & Todd are very responsive & kind. The property is always very clean & well maintained. The pond access across the street is just perfect for cooling off & relaxing. We often spend the days floating on the water. This year we brought kayaks & paddled in the pond as well as went to Quonnie Pond. The cottage is quiet & peaceful & definitely has everything you need for a restful vacation.
The location was great! We kayaked on the lake, walked the dog on different trails (loved the Ocean View just past the Kettle Pond Visitor Center), and used the beach pass daily. The house was dated but better than the pictures and better than what we expected when we booked so absolutely no complaints!
It lacked the super clean feeling of a newer place, but it was pretty nice besides that. Nice beds, nice size, nice linens, nicely appointed kitchen (even though small and simple) and a great view of the lake. I loved the fire pit.
This was our first stay at this property. I must say the listing pictures do not do this place justice. It was cozy, comfortable, clean and well stocked with many extras. Fire pit and wood, grill, linens washer/dryer and a killer screened front porch to view the beautiful pond. It was perfect for us. I loved that we were on the Vin Gormley trail and that we could walk directly into Burlingame S.P. We found a lovely little beach that our dog thoroughly enjoyed. Down the quiet dirt road in the other direction was a boat launch and swim area. It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. The house is also in a perfect location to venture to Newport but away from the crazy beach traffic and crowds. We had such a lovely time!
