(partial sampling): \*Posted on September 28, 2025: Larry was amazing and so accommodating with all of our needs. The property is a perfect tranquil waterfront getaway. The cottage has a warm rustic charm. While it feels secluded its not far from anything. This cottage offers a peaceful haven that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated. We highly recommend. \*Posted on September 27, 2025 Myself and my dog Bonnie stayed for 3 nights and had the best time. The place was cute and cozy right on the water. All I could hear were birds and the breeze blowing in the trees. It was so relaxing. The owner and his dog Shadow were wonderful. Very friendly and now my dog has a new friend. Would definitely stay there again. \*Posted on June 21, 2025 "Quaint scenic get-away" We felt like we were far away from everything but in 5 minutes by car we were at a shopping center and great restaurants. The boathouse loft was well appointed with everything we needed. The owner was welcoming to us and our dog. Amazing view of Swan Pond, a beautiful little salt water estuary we kayaked & paddle-boarded on. Easy access to multiple town beaches & the national seashore beaches! Loved our week-long stay & will be back. \*Posted on June 16, 2025 Beautiful peaceful spot. Using Laurence’s kayaks to go down the river to the ocean beach was the highlight of the of the trip!

The bedroom is comfy and cozy. The location is great for water sports. The kitchen is a wee bit small but we got by. Definitely a couples kind of place. ##### Emily D.

Had an amazing stay at the boat house loft. The location can't be beat. The view is incredible. Minutes to the beaches, bike trails and everything else. Kayaking the pond is a great option and lets you enjoy the plentiful waterfowl in the area. Perfect place for a couple. Only complaint would be the water pressure on the shower was low. A cozy place in a perfect location. ##### Nick A.

The kitchen was well- equipped, the bedroom had a comfortable king sized bed and there are water views on three sides. Our host provided us with information like dog friendly beaches and restaurants. We had a great time and hope to return. host hhelped ##### Carol S.
