Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay with our two dogs. The property was as described and the host was very responsive and generous in their interactions with us. The home was quaint and cozy and provided us with a lovely location to spend Thanksgiving together. The beach is a five minute walk from the home and lovely even in the off season.

Great Stay!

I spent two weeks in the property and loved it. The host was immediately available and one issue with the heat was addressed right away. Cute place with great New England vibes. I was able to work from the property with no issues as well. Beautiful walk down to the cove and a very short drive up the road to the State Park. Great location!

Perfect!

We came to visit Salem and Boston during this trip, & decided to stay here to be close enough but also get an East Coast local vibe. Easy location to get to our desired locations, and we loved being so close to Plum Cove Beach. Pebble Beach was a quick drive too, which we also enjoyed. The property was clean & everything worked as it should. We did not have to contact the host at all except to let her know we had departed (as requested in check out instructions). Definitely recommend and would stay again.
