    Management was very helpful and made our stay extremely comfortable. The accommodations were exceptionally clean and included everything you’d need—just like being at home. We had a wonderful time. The area is beautiful, and the views from the house overlook the coast—absolutely stunning!

    Fully enjoyed our multi-generational family stay. The location was great - just a short walk to Short Sands Beach. If you walk the other way, you get to Dunne's for ice cream. And the house has lots of beach chairs!

    The owner was on top of all questions or concerns if you had any. The house was very clean and they thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again.

    My goodness we are so happy to have found this place. The home is neat as a pin and the pictures are totally deceiving!! The downstairs bedroom was a must for our older family members. Upstairs the living space is honestly huge and SPACIOUS. The views are lovely. Foxs lobster is .4 miles down the road along with Nubble lighthouse. Such a cute quiet neighborhood. So convenient to long sands and short sands. It was rainy but that didn’t stop us from enjoying this beautiful home. Franny and Luke texted every single day to check in and see if we needed anything. Just a wonderful experience, home, and location. 10/10
