Tara Cove Cottage

We’re committed to following cleanliness guidelines for our guests. We were dedicated to providing a clean experience before Covid 19 ( see past reviews over the years) and now have enhanced protocols. We are hands-on owners and inspect before our new guests arrive to ensure cleanliness.

Location, location, location! Imagine hearing the waves crashing and walking with your favorite beverage to sit and watch the waves roll in off the Marginal Way. Tucked around the corner on a private road but literally steps to Perkins Cove and The Marginal Way. Walk to the beach or jump on the trolley which is 75 steps away from your front door. This two-bedroom, two full-bath home has updated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, the furniture you want to curl up on, stainless steel appliances, a new front load washer & dryer, and more. Linens, towels, beach towels, 4 beach chairs with umbrella, air conditioning, dishwasher, and gas grill. Just buy the lobster down the street.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perkin’s Cove very close we checked out the stores and had a bite at Jackie’s after our Driver told us about her background we didn’t see her counting her money it was a rainy morning we also strolled along the Marginal Way our first day after settling in the coast line is very rocky !! Strong suggestion it would be nice if you provided Body Wash,Shampoo, Kleenex and new towels more than one one wash cloth Bath tubs need safety strips to prevent slipping/falling Dianne

Great location and quiet home

This house was in an ideal location, walking distance to everything you would want in town. I was also struck by how quiet the house was, nestled away from neighbors. It was really an ideal retreat and had everything we needed. Having beach, chairs, towels, and a beach cart was particularly helpful coming in from out of town.

Nice way to celebrate 50th birthday

We loved most things about this property. The only things we felt were missing was enough washcloths for 3 people for 3 days, bar soap for showers, either paper towels or napkins to use while eating there. Otherwise, it was great. We would definitely go back again. The location was awesome to walk to shops and restaurants.

We loved this clean well kept up cottage with new appliances and just steps to Perkins Cove and the beautiful Marginal Way coast. It is even better than the pictures and the beds were confortable. The owner was very kind and responsive. Such a lovely find- a hidden gem of you are looking to stay in Agunquit. You can walk to shops and resturaunts and the water. An added bonus was excellent washer and dryer
