Guest Testimonials

We had a fantastic time. Such a relaxing atmosphere and inspiring architecture. Sand Hills Park was a great beach... Nice warm water. Thank you for sharing your cottage!

My husband and I came to your beautiful home for our 1st wedding anniversay and loved every minute of it. The view is fabulous as well as the quiet and tranquility. The idea of coming to a place so private and peaceful was very appealing and your spot definately lived up to everything it promised! Thank you so much. Hopefully we will be back in the future!

We had a wolderful time in the Captain McLean's Carriage House and in Shelburne! The only bad thing is to leave! We can't wait to come back.

We have stayed at this Sea Star Cottage on several occasions. It is a lovely and tranquil spot to get recharged and enjoy a vacation. It is very private and yet close to a beautiful beach! You will think you are in a paradise when you see the beach! The cottage is cozy and wonderfully decorated. We would highly recommend it to all ages!
