Great Cottage Away from Ogonquit Traffic

The cottage was clean and well maintained in a lovely community. It was close enough to Ogonquit without being in the midst of the crowds. Vanessa was wonderful with communication and even mailed back an item that we left behind. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends and would definitely stay there again the next time I am in the area.

Nice area to stay. The only issue we had was the sheets didn’t fit the bed very well as they kept slipping off. So other than that we were happy with the place.
