"Marilyn is the BEST host we've ever stayed with, and the property exceeded our expectations. It is wonderful in itself, as well as being perfectly situated for exploring up and down the coast. Those seeking a beautiful and private oceanfront stay that truly feels and functions like "home" could not find a better option. We especially appreciated the overall immaculate state of the cottage interior; the laundry; full kitchen; comfortable mattresses and linens; woodstove; TV with streaming services; the deck, fire pit, and other other outdoor spaces; and all the personal touches that so strongly connect this little place to the history and character of its locale. The outdoor setting is spectacular: ocean on three sides, pine forest, and two islands (Crow Island directly across, another down the road) one can walk to and explore at low tides. Our stay coincided with predominantly cool, foggy days. It didn't matter! We were never at a loss for things to observe and do in such a rich environment. Communication and check-in/out were seamless, and Marilyn, aside from just being a delightful human being, was a wellspring of information on all subjects (local attractions, dining, etc.). If you want to cook a lobster dinner for a fraction of what you'd pay at a restaurant, be sure to ask Marilyn if she can access her local connections! We cannot wait to return, and strongly recommend the seaside cottage. It was easy to love, and very hard to leave."
