Stayed May 15, 2025My friend and I rented this beautiful quaint property for a quiet weekend away and it checked all the boxes. The owner, George, was so nice to deal with, and clearly has so much pride in this family home, which has so many lovely details throughout. The view is spectacular. Just a short drive to town, restaurants and boutiques, the botanical garden. I truly hope to come back some day.

Stayed May 24, 2024What a lovely spot! The house is exactly as described and pictured. It is light and sunny. There are views from the sunroom, third floor deck, picnic table, chairs, and dock. We never ate out because it was too nice to sit and eat at the house with a view! George is friendly, communicative, and responsive to any questions. The spot is quiet and surprisingly private despite the open yards of all the neighbors. It is close to the Botanical Garden and several short walks in the woods and along the shore. Kayaking or paddle boarding to visit the seals is incredible. One tip, biking in the area is not easy—so might leave the bikes home next time. It was a perfect long weekend trip. We will definitely stay here again!

Stayed Apr 18, 2024The house is unique and charming on a small promontory of land overlooking the ocean and the scattered islands that invest it. Mr. Hervochon, the host, could not have been more accommodating and helpful--such a kind and gentle and generous man. His genius built the house and his spirit imbues it.
