Perfect for a relaxing holiday weekend. Cottage was cute and well appointed. Hot tub a pleasant bonus. A few minutes drive from the center of town but still a quiet private refuge. Easy to recommend.

Everything was just as described. The hot tub was great! The landscaping was beautiful. Everything that I needed to prepare meals was in the kitchen. Loved the gift basket. We had a relaxing stay. We didn't want to leave. Next time I will reserve the cottage for longer. Such a relaxing beautiful place. Thank you.

I wish I could give this property and the host more than 5 stars! The cottage is an absolute fairytale dream with a clear attention to detail that the host generously provides to ensure a comfortable stay. We were only able to enjoy the cottage for a quick stay and we were so sad to leave. Do not think twice about booking this charming cottage!

We enjoyed our stay at Linda's Larkin Cottage very much and hope to return in the next few months. The cottage is in a terrific location and is super clean, sweetly set up, private, and comfortable. The hot tub was used every day and the view of the ocean from the hot tub (and the cottage itself) was nice.

PERFECT HONEY TIME!

What a beautiful place to stay and so close to all the places my wife and I wanted to go. I couldn’t believe my iPhone didn’t have reception. Come on Verizon. The only problem was slow internet. But with the view, yard and hot tub, just perfect. Thank you for the perfect stay.

Wonderful and invaluable cottage

I was able to attend our family vacation because of this beautiful, tidy, and well-appointed cottage (with kitchen). I especially loved its quiet birding-garden spaces and easy layout where I could take good care of myself, yet be close to the family. Communication was excellent. The extra touches and goodies were appreciated. It was a lovely place to be on my milestone birthday. My husband and I will visit again! Thank you!
