Sunrise over the bay
The location and amenities exceeded our expectations. Beautiful setting, great neighborhood, friendly neighbors and perfect location for our itinerary. And the weather couldn’t have been better-though it was a little early for fall colors.

Beautiful location on the river
We really enjoyed our stay and would return. Was a great place for our family to gather when we visited for a family wedding. Enjoyed the views, swimming in the pool and sitting out on the deck. The home was equipped with several pool floats which we really appreciated.

Great location! Pool was added bonus
The house itself was clean and spacious, and is clearly cared for by the owner. The included amenities provided everything we needed, from beach towels to tools for our lobster night! The pool was a huge hit with the kids and they enjoyed taking the walk to the private beach and small playground. Overall it was a great week even with a few rainy days. We will definitely come back!

Great house for a family vacation - Five Stars!!!
We rented this house for a family vacation 4th of July week. The house was great, right on the water with a pool, plenty of space and bedrooms for 5 adults and 2 young adults (with extra beds if we needed them). The house was stocked with everything from dishes, to cookware to spices. Centrally located to fun things to do in the area. Thank you, Barbara!!!!

Spectacular both indoors and out. Great location if you want to be active on the water, tennis courts, hiking or biking- or if you just want to chill with a beverage and enjoy the view of the river.

The property was great clean, homey, and well-maintained. Heck, I envied some of the kitchen equipment and useability -- which is a far cry from the usual summer rental. The location perfect for our low-key crowd of adults (ranging in age from 25-65).

Always a wonderful time!
This house provides everything you could ever need if hosting a big family. Rain or shine you can find many fun activities to do in the area be it tennis, bocci, hiking or water activities. Rainy days are still great with many games in the home, beautiful views , and comfortable living spaces. Every year we stay we find improvements. Highly recommended!
