Nestled down a private driveway on the waterfront of Lobster Cove, The Cottage boasts a completely renovated interior and exterior with top-quality work, brand new appliances and furnishings and beautiful coastal decor. Starting in the open, white kitchen with its stainless steel LG dishwasher, LG cafe door refrigerator, LG range and microwave, this will be the gathering spot to come together after a long day enjoying the water and local beaches. Enjoy cocktails and apps on a beautiful handmade walnut bar overlooking the step-down eating area and family room and views out to the cove, footbridge and the western sky. The kitchen comes stocked with brand new cookware, blender, toaster, ceramic dishes, and multiple serving dishes, bowls and platters. Granite counter, center island and tile flooring complete the ambiance. The first floor full bath, located off the kitchen, is the highlight of the Cottage, with custom tile, rimless shower, free-standing soaking tub and double vanity sink with marble countertops. There is also a stackable washer and dryer off the kitchen in a closet. The first floor Master bedroom has it's own access to the bathroom, Queen bed, Wall-to-wall carpeting, full closet and Pottery Barn sea-life comforter. All bedrooms have top-quality sheets and towels - no need to bring your own! The family room and dining area round out the lower part of the first floor of the Cottage. The family room has original detailing including fireplace (non-working) and built in bookcase and big windows overlooking deck and cove. Flat screen TV above the fireplace, coastal comfy couch and other seating provides a comfortable gathering area to rest after a long day of playing in the great outdoors. There is a handcrafted dining table for 6 and views, views, views. At high tide, you feel as if you are right on the water. Please note - The house is not wheelchair accessible as there is a step-down to the main living area. There is a glass french door that leads out to the deck overlooking the water. Table with umbrella and seating for 6 ensures lunches on the deck under the shade of a cedar tree. There is sun on the deck all day long, but once in a while you need some shade from the tree, glad we didn't cut it down! Two lounge chairs sit on the grass below the deck for sunbathing. Beach towels and 6 beach chairs plus umbrella and cooler are included. The second floor consists of two bedrooms with water views and a half bath. One bedroom has a Queen size bed. Second bedroom has two twin beds . Both bedrooms share the cute half-bath accessed by barn doors. Both rooms have Pottery Barn duvets and top-quality sheets and towels. Maximum accommodations in beds are for 6, any additional guests will incur a extra fee. As this is an older home built in the 1920's, the ceilings on the second floor are lower than usual, but still able to accommodate someone over 6' tall. The ceilings on the first floor are over 8 feet high. The Cottage boasts incredible views looking out towards Annisquam Village, Lobster Cove and the river in the distance. Direct waterfront provides access for kayaking, stand-up boarding, swimming and fishing right from the property. An 11-slip dock is part of the property, so accessing the water for the kayaks is easy. The slips are fully rented and the owner has use of two slips and parking. No one else will be parking down at the slips, except the owner. Guests can use the footbridge dock for pick-up and drop-off from small boats. No short-term or overnight dockage is available at either the town footbridge dock or on our dock. Riverdock Cottage is accessed by a private drive off of Washington Street, that appears to be very steep down to the water. However, once you do it, it's easy! Parking for two cars max is available. Owner will also have access to driveway and parking throughout the summer. No one else will be parking at the docks. A privacy hedge separates the driveway from the cottage and the neighbors. Although the cottage is private and quite, the waterfront can be quite active on the weekends with lobsterman and their boats, fishing boats, sailboats, little power boats, kayaks, stand up boards and people of all ages enjoying the water. There is always something to look at! You may even catch a wedding on the footbridge. You won't be disappointed with your stay at Riverdock Cottage.

This property had all we needed for a much needed getaway. We kayaked everyday to beautiful Wingersheek beach, and relaxed in the tastefully decorated cottage in the the evenings. We would recommend it to friends and will definitely be back. ##### Melissa S.

Close to lots of beaches. Responsive owner. I'd go there again! ##### Phyllis S.

The property is just as listed - updated furnishings and super-clean top to bottom. Great water pressure and beds were all very comfortable. Communication was excellent with our host and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. We were sorry to leave this morning! ##### Mary F.

This home is beautifully decorated and very clean. Everything one would need is provided. The location was great. It was quiet and my husband caught stripers in the inlet behind the house. We will be coming back. John and Veronica Kerns ##### veronica k.

Diane has literally thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We rented this house for our Babymoon, and having a Bedroom/Bath on the first floor was a plus. The neighborhood is so quiet and beautiful, we really enjoyed our afternoon walks around the neighborhood. Thank you, thank you, thank you Diane! ##### Rachel A.

The cottage was so clean and in the best location. The owners make sure you have everything that you need to have a great vacation. The deep soaking tub is a must try. Set out on the deck and drink coffee in the morning, while enjoying the scenery of Lobster Cove. Open the windows for fresh air all day long, not something you can do in the Midwest this time of year. Visit one of the many beaches, go whale watching, sightseeing at the Fisherman's Memorial and take the lighthouse boat cruise for a vacation you will never forget. ##### Charlotte S.

This time my parents vacationed with us and my Dad said he felt very comfortable in this house. He enjoyed taking walks across the bridge and checking out the neighborhood. The house is very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one needs to make a meal. There are plenty of bath towels and the bed linens are nice quality. It was great to be able to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and also a grocery store. If you need a home to stay in while visiting this area I highly recommend staying here! ##### veronica k. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ---
