Beautiful quiet location

The house is in a beautiful setting close to stores and beach. A bit small for 3 adults but spotless and tasteful. The kitchen was very clean which I especially appreciated (particularly after a few "sticky" kitchens in expensive rentals). The picnic table outside allows to extend the eating space to the garden. Our hosts were responsive and discreet,

This spot was wonderful- even better than we anticipated from the online advertising. The yard is very private, with a spectacular view and walkable go various spots.

A perfect escape

This beautiful little cottage with a view of the harbor was a perfect escape from our City life. The space is smartly laid out and the living room with glass walls on three sides is the perfect spot to relax with a book -- it was equally beautiful to watch a storm approach as it was to watch the sun set.

The Guest House was perfectly located in a peaceful rural setting overlooking the water. The house itself was well appointed, clean and had everything we needed. The description in the listing was accurate and the communication with Christian was very prompt and helpful. In addition the weather was fantastic! We certainly hope to return. Thanks Christian for a wonderful time.
