Very nice tho a little rough around the edges
House WAS clean, nice bedding, and even a massage chair that was entertaining. Beach location is very close, but house didn't go into rules or access to it in the notebook that was there. Or how to get to other beaches nearby... Most would just google it, I suppose, but google doesn't know everything... As a first time VRBOer, communication /charges on card through the app was confusing, and procedures and processes to reassure that the house was reserved, and that we would have keys, access, etc. at the time of arrival was somewhat nerve racking. The extra fees that aren't mentioned with the initial rental price are something I did not applaud. To end positive, it was cute in its uniqueness, LOTS-O beds, quiet in the neighborhood (we went in late September. The Shoreline area is homey.

What a charming and quaint house and neighborhood! The house fit the ten (10) of us comfortably. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots/pans/utensils) for all our cooking needs. Loved grilling out (the grill could use some maintenance) and eating on the back deck. The shed had an adult & kid kayak and a kayak trolley which was so helpful. There were two (2) paddleboards (both were missing fins from, I imagine, being dragged). There were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. It was a short walk to the beach and Rte 1 is only a short drive to grocery/package stores and Dunkin'. Laura responded quickly to all of my queries. I loved the location!

We loved our stay. The home looks small from the outside but it's so spacious. The flow of the house was very opened and comfortable. The home had everything listed and more and was very clean. The beach was minutes away. It was quiet and the best getaway. We will definitely be back.

Location, Location, Location- sadly in need of work
Location, location, location: this beach house is in a quiet neighborhood and just 3 houses from a private beach area. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were all clean and comfortable. The house itself was in need of repair. The back of the house was missing full walls of sidings and tar paper, blinds were broken and dirty and windows would not open or fell down when trying to open. The back hall bathroom did smell, the washing machine smelled of mold, and neither could not be masked. TVs did not work; however owner attempted to resolve the issue, but we could not accommodate a meeting time. The kitchen cabinets were dirty inside, the refrigerator leaked water, and much of the future in the living room was broken and could not stand on its own. With a little attention, this place would be a gem.

Great location but in need of some improvements
The location is amazing and its in a sweet little community. All the beds were comfortable and no one was crowded in their bedroom. All linens were provided which was a big plus! We never had any issue getting in contact with the owner and always a quick response! However the home does need renovations. The front door we found very difficult to properly close and lock up, the kitchen floor is very unstable and we think that this is how the refrigerator shelves were always wet (we think it was leaning forward). The back back bathroom had an odor we couldn't detect. And the hammock in the back was not safe at all. My niece tried to lay in it and almost fell threw. Regardless of the issues with the home it was adequate for our short stay. We all enjoyed our time there and the main point for us was a family reunion and that what was most important!

Cottage within walking distance to private beach
Cottage is perfectly located in a private, quiet neighborhood and within a one-minute walk to a private beach. The stone fireplace is a very nice amenity. The loft, with three additional beds, is more appropriate for children and not adults as the super low ceiling makes it impossible for adults to stand. Laura, the host, responded quickly to calls/questions.

Maybe has seen better days
Property was passable but greatly in need of sprucing up. No propane for outdoor fire table. Front door does not lock properly. Stove needed cleaning. No hooks in bathroom. Windows very difficult to open and close. Blinds totally in need of replacement. Stairs to upstairs lift polished with oil products making it extremely dangerous to climb stairs.

We had an amazing time at "The Count"! The house is your typical cottage with some modern decor and the most comfortable updated beds! The shower was one of the best most relaxing showers I've ever taken as well. We were so close to the beach and the area was so quiet all day/night long. It was the PERFECT place to get some R&R. DEFINITELY will be back again! Thank you, Laura!

Great place for a family vacation
This pet-friendly cottage was ideal for our family vacation! BBQ, a delightful patio, and a quick walk to the beach, what's not to love? Everyone had a great time! I only have a couple of recommendations, there's a need for a TV user manual. We'd lose signal periodically in the living-room and we never did get bedroom TV's operational. Also, an 11AM checkout would be better as we were hard pressed to get all the linens, washed, dried, and put away by 10 (fortunately we're early risers) so we made it. I'm a bit of a neat-freak and while cottage has a broom there's no vacuum so I placed a pail by the back door. Family all left their shoes outside and came in rinsed/barefooted -- made for easy cleanup upon exit but that's just me. Hope to come back in the future.

It wasn't clean
The house isn't really clean. The dishes smelled funky, and we needed to wash them before use. The ninja blender smelled like mold. The floor didn't feel very clean (and it was broken a bit). There was a wet towel in the washing machine which smelled like it stayed there for days. There was a capsule in the Keurig machine. As for the property. We weren't given beach pass. The host said it will probably be ok, but it made it a bit unpleasant to go to the beach because we were afraid someone might ask to see it. The private beach is actually a pretty small piece of sand, and lots of seaweed. Although it can get nice during low-tide, as you can walk to the middle of the bay. We tried to use the amazon stick for the TV and it didn't really work.

Perfect location
Cute place for a nice staycation. I see other comments mentioning lack of updates however considering location and how much room we had to accommodate family that didn't even make a difference. Very roomy. 2 private beaches walking distance from home. Kids had fun collecting shells and finding small crabs. Close to town if you wanted to grab a bite to eat. Owner was very accommodating and easy to contact for any questions I may have had. Would definitely return.

Great location
Neighborhood is charming. Walking distance to a beach, near outlets and restaurants. Neighbors greet you if you chose to go for a walk to see the spectacular view including sunrise and sunset. If you read the rich history of the area, you’ll realize that the homes are old unless it was knocked down and replaced by mini mansions, which you will find speckled throughout the area. The house could use a paint job and some additional facelifts, but nothing that stopped my friends and I have having a wonderful girl weekend shopping, eating and sitting around the living room catching up. We are considering returning in the summer to enjoy the beach.

Great weekend getaway!
This was a great relaxing weekend for a bunch of friends getting away for the weekend.. The house was just as described, very clean, and just what we needed for a first getaway since covid. We had a bit of windy spring weather but the 2 outdoor seating areas were great, and because there were 2 areas we were able to find a spot that was out of the wind. The owner was easy to contact and responsive to the 1 question we had as we were leaving. Would definitely recommend this cozy house!

Nice Getaway Close to Beach
This house fit my group's needs well. It was very close to the beach and in a quaint neighborhood, super comfortable beds, lots of outdoor and indoor seating. A few details would have improved the stay - outdoor trashbins were overflowing on arrival, and we were not able to enter the property due to an apparent glitch with the entry code. No soap or sponge for dishwashing and handsoap nearly empty. Despite this, overall I would recommend, due to location and comfort of this home.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Sept 2023
I’m so glad my home fit the needs for the weekend getaway with your college friends. Fortunately the alternative code allowed you to get in right away. I drove in state today regarding trash that had scattered into the neighbors yard and saw the bin was overfilled by a bag. It is serviced every Wednesday. The listing does state that it includes linens, towels, umbrellas & chairs. Thanks for your feedback as I appreciate your honesty and will update the previous statement to let future guests know that personal household essentials are available at the grocery store. Thrilled to hear you enjoyed the super comfortable beds and close beach location.
