Waterfront Cabin Retreat
We are back! We had a VRBO listed last year right above this cabin. We had many begging for us to tell them when our cabin was finished when they stayed at the main house for it was being renovated and built during travelers stays! AND NOW the cabin is FINALLY DONE! It so cozy,comfy, and is a destination away from reality for sure! You have high tide that comes right up to the bulkhead and two kayaks to float around and catch some fish for dinner or you have low tide to clam/oyster dig to get some lunch. Either way you wanna get your grub the location is ideal. Right across from you you have Local Boys Taproom to quench your thirst (with 40+ LOCAL IPA’s and MORE) , Local Boys fruit and Produce to feed your hunger, and another thirst quenching place, The Beer Vault if you you get extra thirsty (MANY other choices for food or drinks within walking distance as well and we can give you recommendations upon request :) ). We would LOVE for you to book today! If you ever need anything you also have two amazing hosts right next door to assist or to let you be! Whatever you choose I hope it’s with us, cheers.

Helpful hints
4 retired healthcare providers, kayaking, paddle board, eating and drinking wine. Would be helpful to have the house #’s on the house, holes next to driveway made it challenging unloading kayaks.

Amazing vacation
Oh my, where to begin! Our time spent at the property was awesome! The place is beautiful and in like new condition! Everything needed was on location. Paddle boarding in the small cove was perfect. The location right on the water made access very easy. For those with a higher skill level, access to bigger water was just a few paddles away! The hosts were great people! Very nice and accommodating! Everything from eats and entertainment are all nearby! Best view of the Harbor Fourth of July Fireworks Show was amazing! We will definitely vacation here again!

Comfy cabin
We rented, and as an after thought, asked if it was ok to have family and friends come for dinner. Owners were gracious and said yes. We had room, inside and out on lawn chairs, for10. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils, plates etc. Parking can be iffy but we were aware its a small cabin. Owners allowed on guest to park at their home.
Bed is very comfy. Huge shower. A/C was great. House is quiet.
Cabin is on an inlet so when tide is out lots of shells to explore. (Be careful as back in the day it was typical to toss stuff so there are nails and glass. But just pay attention and you will be fine! )
We enjoyed a very restful weekend. Close to grocery stores and beaches. Look forward to returning.

Exceeded my expectations
I used this space for quiet work and relaxation. It did both exceedingly well. The hosts were great and even allowed me to use their Kayaks and Paddle Boards during breaks.
The place is larger than. Hotel suite with an arguably better view than most and a much better experience. I was steps away from the water!
It looks like it was recently remodeled as everything is brand new inside and out. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you guys.

Great little house!
I had the most wonderful stay at this charming little cabin by the water! The recent renovation was evident in every detail, creating a cozy and modern atmosphere. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and the thoughtful touch of fresh flowers greeted us upon arrival, making us feel right at home. The cabin was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and the convenient location allowed us to easily explore the surrounding areas. Our time there was absolutely fantastic - I can't wait to return!
