Needed a place to stay for a summer wedding at Barker’s Tavern and came across this place. Thought it was going to be a small beach cottage so I was thrilled that the rooms were so much bigger than I thought. The yard is enormous too! The pictures do not do it justice! Location was perfect for the wedding and beach access. Had a BBQ for 20 people and had more than enough room for games, food and activities. Would recommend this rental for anyone with a large family looking for a place to stay in Scituate. Truly paradise!

Overall, this was a quirky home in a beautiful place, near a quaint oceanfront town. The house was well stocked with more linens, kitchen supplies and appliances I have ever had in other rentals. My family and I enjoyed our stay there. The hot tub was a favorite place to gather. My only complaints were that the kitchen was generally not very clean, and that we would have used the kayaks and bikes, but couldn’t find them. Fred, the owner, was very responsive and helpful. The town of Scituate is about a mile away and easily walkable, with a handful of shops and restaurants. The lighthouse the town is famous for was also a short scenic walk away. The decks on the second floor and in the backyard had beautiful ocean views. Most bedrooms in the home also had ocean views. Original pine floors and original wood beams throughout the central home.

Everyone enjoyed the house and location to the beach

We came all the way from singapore and booked this place for 14 people for our daughters Graduation in Boston. The cottage was exactly as per the pictures. Quaint and well decorated with a lot of character by the way it was done up. Gave us all a feel of being in a beach town. The host came over and showed us around the way to the cottage. Some of the things I felt that the host should have taken care were - Having the internet working. My husband had to do the handy work of putting together the wire which was broken. The dishes were sticky and the pans were black. We had to run the entire lot through the dishwasher after our long flight before we could use it. And hand wash the bigger pans. Not something you want to do after a long flight. The pantry and the kitchen drawers needed organisation and cleaning as it was very hard to look for basic essentials. And once located had to be scanned for cleanliness. The towels and bedsheets were clean though. The grass was over grown but we didn't mind it as we didn't use the ground around the house much. I think we left the house cleaner than when we found it. Our guests enjoyed using the hot bath in the garden and the camp fire on the grounds was a big hit with lots of guitar playing and family fun around it. The open layout of the kitchen invited a lot of gatherings after meal times and long chats in the living area. Over all it was a good experience and the warmth of a sweet 100 year old cottage gave the right flavour that we wanted for our family together that came from all parts of the globe. I would highly recommend this place for a good family vacation.
