The house was well supplied with everything you need. The river view is beautiful. The bedroom next to the porch could use a headboard, or a protective board across the windows behind the bed. We had a great time there.

William was a great host. The house is super quiet and quaint. We loved that we could have the dogs with us and the yard is a great size to play ball with them and let them run around. The river and pond are perfect for fishing and downtown is walkable. Super cute restaurants on main street.

Charming Coastal cottage!

The house was in a great location, very walkable and within walking distance of town and the boardwalk along the river, and it was very cozy and charming. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and the owner was very responsive and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
