Upon arrival the check in/ entry of the home was easy with no complications. The East Cottage was clean and we felt very comfortable. Our beds were very comfy with clean cotton sheets and plush comforters. The house has all the basic amenities a beautiful view, centrally located for our trip. I loved that the furnishings were not your average cold cheap IKEA feel. The house is very charming. We have no complaints and the host was great. Thank you for a great stay. (Only wished the beds were bigger, but they were very comfy)

Wonderful, relaxing place to stay for several days with our two fur babies. The location is excellent, just about a block from the gorgeous beach. The cottage is very clean and comfy, stocked with everything you need for a great stay. Our two dogs enjoyed playing in the completely fenced in backyard right off of the living room area. We enjoyed walking along State Street with all of its many shops and restaurants. David, the host was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend this beautiful cottage.

We loved our stay at East Beach Cottage! The proximity to the beaches and area attractions are prime. David is an accommodating host with quick response time to our questions. The pictures online are exactly what we got, including views of the beach from the fenced in backyard.

Great location for easy walks to walkway and bike lanes along ocean front. The walk up to the pier at night was amazing. The rooms are good size and the kitchen was perfect for us - Kurig coffee maker with coffee!, great fridge and range. The small fenced in backyard area is nice - well furnished with chaors and couch, table and umbrella. A bit boxed in by the high hedge and fence, but really good for coffee and reading in the fresh air. And the parking is great. Long-ish driveway leaves car right by the door to unit. Awesome.

Amazing location You cannot beat this location. House was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Beach was gorgeous and just a very short walk. The ocean breeze through the living room was heaven!!! My son’s favorite was relaxing in the adorable yard after the beach, so funny!

Perfect Location! A group of 4 of us stayed here for a nearby wedding and it was great. Very close to the beach, a store, and the hotel the wedding was held at. Place was clean and comfortable. No issues, but the host was easily reached if there had been. Wish we could have stayed longer!
