It was so joyful being with another couple and our dogs so close to the beach and services. The power went out and the host immediately showed up to make sure we had matches for candles, he said ‘it’ll likely comeback on shortly’. Lit candles were almost Immediately extinguished when the power returned. Crystal clear plunge pool. 5 gallons of water, amazing upper deck off master….much much more in a cozy space by the ocean. Thank you

This house has a ton of charm with a very casual feel to it. Small swimming pool was extremely nice for those days of sunning on the decks then cooling off. The Beach was very close with 3 min or less walk. The master King Bed was very comfortable and had its on walkout balcony deck with beautiful views. There was a 2nd bedroom with large bed and bunk above, which would be nice if you had kids. The pictures accurately illustrate the house. The house is very private, which we liked and was perfect for our stay. It was also well appointed with towels, beach gear, TP, trash bags, coffee maker, coffee filters, etc. Jethro “Host” was extremely kind and helpful & responsive with our inquiries, which gave us a peace of mind. We will be staying again.

Unwind at the cottage!

Our family of 4 (with 2 kids) had a great time at the Sea Shanty! It was our first time visiting the island and it was the perfect base to explore the island. The cottage is very clean, true to the pictures and was perfectly outfitted with everything you need to be self sufficient! The backyard has a nice clean pool and we especially loved morning coffee on the upper patio. Jethro our host was super responsive (within minutes) and very accommodating!The beach is across the street, down a short 5-10 walk in either direction which was awesome! There’s a small grocery store in town and some great restaurants within 5-10 min drive. We’d come back in a heart beat!

Sweet "Sea Shanty" Retreat

Enjoyed our stay at Sea Shanty. The cottage was comfortable, the property was nice and the pool was a bonus. The rooftop deck was a great place to relax with morning coffee, evening beverage and star gazing. The path to the beautiful beach across the road was great.
