Labor Day Weekend with Family
This property had everything we needed and was so welcoming/ The beds were very comfortable, it was clean and cool inside. We had plenty of space for our family and the back yard for the dogs was great too. We also brought our boat for scalloping and had a place to park it and all of our vehicles. it's definitely on the list to rent again!

Spring Fishing Vacation;
Very close to boat ramp with plenty of room to park the boat and other vehicles, and walking distance to shops and restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedding and towels are very nice and comfortable. The spacious and fenced backyard is great for the dogs. Lots of other extras, beach equipment and games. We really enjoyed our stay!

Relaxing long weekend
The house was just as described/listed. It was spotless clean, very comfortable beds, great fenced in big shaded back yard with a nice multi level deck to enjoy your morning coffee or grill out. The yard is perfect also for pets. The house is a convenient walk to Reid Ave where there are great restaurants and lots of boutique shops. There is also a nice view of the lighthouse from the back deck. We had a great time and will definitely be staying again soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the fabulous Skippers Beacon. Location was wonderful as it was only a couple of blocks to all the shops and restaurants. The dogs loved the beautiful fenced in back yard The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to share home cooked meals together! We loved the historic architecture of the cottage.
