    Really loved this place! Very clean, seemed the host thought things out well to make spaces comfy and cozy for hanging out and relaxing. Close enough to walk to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.

    This properly was cizy and beautiful. The 4 seasons room on the back of the house was the best feature, though. It was so cozy, in fact, that we barely took advantage of the beautiful interior, which was immaculate (except that some previous guest put dirty pans away-- hardly the fault of the owner. I certainly wouldn't expect them to go through the cabinets to be sure the dishes were clean. Some people!).This was a great house for a great price. Ill be back if i ever need to stay in NB again!

    Great location and host communicated well! We really enjoyed our trip and it was a great weekend getaway from Chicago. We would stay here again but the listing is slightly misleading as the other bathroom is a shower outside that wasn’t on yet for the season so wasn’t usable. The bunk bed room is quite small and the top bunk is very squeaky/ narrow to get up and down. Since it was loud and hard to get up and down, one person ended up sleeping on the pullout bed in the living room which ended up working out great. The sunroom is spacious and would be great if the weather is perfect out. We were there on a weekend that had very hot weather but also very cold. Therefore the sunroom was pretty unusable as it stayed the temperature of whatever it was outside. When we first got there it felt like a sauna. It was either extremely hot or extremely cold in there but I’m sure if you had moderate weather it would be lovely. There is a normal living room/dining area so you don’t necessarily need it but would have been nice to use! Regardless lovely time, nice place and would come back again.

    We loved this beautiful property located within walking distance of the beach! We especially enjoyed the sunroom and spent the majority of our time out there playing games, reading books, etc. Communication was extremely smooth and everything was very clean upon our arrival. Will definitely be staying here again!

    This house is so charming and cute, we already want to come back! It's very well-equipped and had everything we could possibly need. Comfortable, cozy rooms, perfect location, great backyard, walkable to pretty much everything. Communication with the host was easy and they provided all the info, right down to restaurant recommendations.

    This property had more than we needed and I wish had actually gotten to spend more time there than just sleeping. The home was very clean and so cute! It is so close to everything as well. I could have spent my entire time on that back room with all the windows, it was beautiful! Lots of extras provided if needed. Would definitely recommend this place or stay again.
