Look No Further! Such and amazing find. The host was lovely to work with and the property stunning. A homey coastal cottage that offered something for everyone. Comfy beds, board games and puzzles, huge flat screen and TV and cozy blankets for cool mornings. If you have small children the play house in the backyard is a dream and the beach pass that is provided gives access to a great family beach for swimming or looking for shells. Super easy walk to town and a great restaurant, Harbor Mist, a block away. This place has it all!

The Captain’s Cottage was a perfect weekend getaway. The views were picturesque, the surrounding area and ambiance was quite peaceful, and the home itself was superbly clean, cozy and exquisite. The attention to detail was duly noted, as every room, and nook in the house offered something unique and special, inviting each guest into a feeling of warmth and coziness.

Nice place!

We have rented a number of places on VRBO and this is our favorite. It was charming, clean and spacious. We don't have small children but if we did this would be perfect with a game room downstairs and an outdoor playhouse. Would definitely return!

Exceptional!

It became a short retreat into beauty and quiet just for myself. This my 2nd time around. Kim and George are exceptional hosts and purveyors of life! They inspire your senses in every way each day you find something new to discover in this exquisitely detailed lovingly assembled abode. It’s remarkable how many crevices draw you in even the children’s play parlor. Lol! Yep was in there as well -true story! There is no comparison. It’s worth every cent! I was so blessed and renewed ! Thank you! Tarsha
