"Salt 'n' Lyme" - Walk to everything !
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, 21 reviews
"This cottage is so adorable and just a short walk to the beach and a local convenience store. This makes it easy to park the car and just walk to get coffee and such. We stayed in October so not much open this time of year, but we were in the area for a family wedding so not much time to hang out anyway. This was the first time I've rented on Vrbo, so I wasn't sure what to expect as have read a lot about obnoxious owners with tons of rules, but Brett is super-chill with only a couple of things...

"My now Wife and I stayed here with our entire wedding party as an alternative from a hotel. This was such an amazing experience, the layout of the house was beautiful and allowed every member to have not only their own sleeping quarters, but private space as well. We were a group of 20 people so options are limited, but this home was a no brainer. Not only was it beautiful, but also functional with a HUGE dining room table and living area on the second floor for the majority of our guests to be...

"I booked this for a sister weekend. It was perfect for what we needed. It appears that the house was built to be a summer getaway, so it is pretty basic and no frills and comes with all the creaks and quicks of an older house. The living room is perfect for hanging out and the four chairs make it easy to rearrange to suit your needs. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you would need to stay with a family and the dining room is spacious enough to easily accommodate everyone staying...

"Enjoyed the uniqueness of the house and location.
