The house was so cute and had all the things we needed and MORE! I absolutely appreciated all of the kitchen amenities. Fully stocked with a full set of pots and pans, coffee, utensils and everything you could possibly need. The rooms were so cute and cozy! Just a few steps away from the water. We love our stay

The home was absolutely beautiful. The host had everything anyone could have wanted. I truly felt at home there. I had lost my husband a little over a month ago. It was extremely hard on me. We had planned on going to Salem for Halloween this year, unfortunately he didn’t make it. So I took the trip myself with our 2 daughters and my best friend. I have found a lot of comfort and peace in the home. The neighbors were wonderful. The neighborhood was so quiet. The town was beautiful and the ocean view from the front porch was breathtaking. The host replied to all of my questions quickly. He was very respectful and accommodating. There’s so many good things to say about this home. If you’re looking for a place to get away, find peace and quiet, have a host that is absolutely phenomenal, have an amazing view to look at each morning and have a beautiful town to tour then this is definitely the home you want to stay in. The host makes sure that you have every single thing that you could possibly think you will need. It literally feels like you’re in your own home. I forgot my charging box to my cell phone charging cord. I opened the drawer and there one sat. So when I say this host literally has everything you need he truly does. It was one of the best places I have ever stayed in. I look forward to coming back again soon. I have been having a difficult time with my husband’s passing but I was able to find solace while staying in the home. It was so comforting and inviting.
