Cute cottage
Pleasant cottage, well equipped in City neighborhood. Good access to historic area and beaches. Inside was very clean and enjoyable space. Fenced in yard could be nice but was a mess, including leaves, dog poop and broken glass.

Wonderful location
We enjoyed staying here as it was close enough to walk to downtown but far enough to be quiet at night. There are a few spots within a block or so that you can walk to for a quick bite or drink and hiwire allows dogs inside if you’re staying with your fur baby. Nice spacious house with ceiling fan above the bed. Would stay here again!

We stayed for two nights at the cottage. It was very clean and well stocked with everything you would need. Very cute decor too. It’s close to everything so it was easy to walk everywhere. Matt was very responsive to our questions. We had a great stay!

Cute little House
We are a family of three with two dogs. We are HUGE Dawson's Creek fans and that's what we did was all things Dawson's creek. The property was about 20 min leisurely walk to the riverwalk. So much easier to walk then drive due to the cost of parking. Town is very dog friendly. Many restaurants had outdoor seating and allowed dogs. We ate at Front Street Brewery, Kilwins for dessert and The George on the river. By the river there are nats so bring some bug spray. Overall the house was just what we needed and very accessible. A must stay!
