"Didn’t know no one would be at the desk at check in but figured it out quickly. Each late check in person’s name was on an envelope with keys, area map and a letter explaining everything (which answered any questions we would have had). Room was spacious and clean. Even had a little table with chairs. We would have had a harbor view except for some pretty dense fog. Easy parking and area was quiet. Would definitely stay again. "
Charming Historic Cottage with Private Waterfront on Core Sound -Pet Friendly
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely delightful little cottage, perfect for a solo weekend getaway. Love how quiet and secluded it is, not the usual touristy beach vacation (but within driving distance to do the traditional stuff!). Dark skies at night made for incredible stargazing! Kitchen was well stocked, comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom, beautiful view of the water. Will definitely be planning a return trip. "
"Dianna was very responsive and a wonderful host! The house is just so peaceful and relaxing. Our family really enjoyed our time and will definitely be back for years to come! "
"The hosts were very welcoming. We enjoy the coast but not much for the sandy beaches so this was the perfect place for us. The covered porch overlooking the sound was fantastic! Our 2 dogs enjoyed it as much as we did. Enjoyed listening to the water lapping up on the retaining wall of rocks and the breeze was wonderful. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. I loved stargazing from the dock. The cottage was decorated wonderfully and was so comfortable. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every second of it and want to book again in the future. Truly a special and magical place. "
