About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tranquil waterfront cottage. Recently remodeled, with relaxation in mind.

This renovated cottage sits off the main road nestled in our family owned boatyard. Every detail has been focused on you having a relaxing stay. Luxury mattress and linens are a few things that will help. Central air, beach pass, garden access to fresh vegetables and flowers.

The property is just one mile to Tabor Academy, and 1.5 to the center of town. This great place to escape and relax, yet still be close to beaches, shops, restaurants and ferries.

A small deck, fire pits, picnic areas, boat ramp, water view and access all add great places to enjoy the outdoors. Kayak, paddleboards, canoes all available for a small fee.

Sip your coffee in the comfy chairs on your deck while watching the Blue Herons and Osprey eat their breakfast.

During the day, go to the beach (pass provided). Visit the islands, the cape, Newport Mansions - or stay on site and explore the cove in our kayaks.

Grab dinner and sit at the big table on the waterfront of the old barn. Sit by the fire at night, unwind and take in the beauty of Hammets Cove. If you are traveling with friends or family you may want to look at our sister property, Beautiful Sunrises VRBO#2211232. Renting both properties allow you to be together and have your own space!

End your day with a shower under the stars, rinse - repeat.

We came into town for a wedding and this was the perfect palce to stay. The property is beautiful and learning the history of the property is a fun surprise. We took the bikes into Marion and got coffee and a few snacks at the local market. Rode around town to see all the beautiful homes and ocean. The live music on the water was a nice surprise on the Friday night too.

Wonderful spot for a getaway

The location was perfect for kayaking and bird watching…we would have taken advantage of having the bikes if the weather had cooperated. The cottage was spotless and so cozy with everything we needed...towels,beach pass, kayaks, and outdoor seating with great views. Local restaurants did not disappoint. So pleased with our stay!

Peaceful retreat

This property is a peaceful retreat for us when visiting family - we call it the overflow cottage - but it is so tastefully appointed, every little details, that is a soooo relaing when we get "home" in the evening. There are so many nice details, it is a wonder. We love the remoteness of the off-seasn boatyard. I suspect in summer that will be busier, but the access to the water there is a bonus. We love it here and will return next year.

Wonderful!

I stayed here as a travel nurse on a nearby assignment. Absolutely loved this little place. The host has done a fabulous job with the property and amenities. I LOVED sitting on the big porch on the water. The ambient lighting, comfy seating and view cannot be beat after a long day of work or play! Lots of Osprey, herons, rabbits, chipmunks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolute Gem of a Retreat

This cottge is peaceful, immaculate, an absolute gem of a place to stay while visiting family in town. The property is an interesting boatyeard on tidal water access. Wish we had more time ot take advantage of the outdoor hammock, chairs and other parts of the property. The cottage itself has many subtle very nice touches that are definintely appreciated. Kellie is an exceptional host. Will definitely return.

Every Detail

The property was exactly as described and even more. Kellie and Dan were delightful and most accommodating. Although the property is in a boatyard with activity during the day, it was peaceful at night. We especially enjoyed sitting on the sea breeze patio with cocktail in hand watching the birds diving for their dinner. Great place for a couple. Convenient to town, restaurants, stores, etc.

Stylish waterfront

We loved staying in this property. So much style for such a small space. Sitting on the comfy front porch, we enjoyed watching herons fish. I read in the shady hammock one afternoon. We went kayaking from the property another. Kellie, the owner, and I even walked together to an excellent yoga class one morning. The cottage was thoughtfully appointed with everything for our stay. Great property for a solo or couples retreat.

Great hide away in a busy place

The wife and I stayed here in June for a wedding. The listing is exactly how it is described. Nice little cottage on a inlet. In the mornings we watched the birds catching fish right out of the water. Everything thing inside is new and simplified. Would absolutely stay again if needed to. Great host easy to communicate when I needed to make a small change to our reservation.

Stay in Marion

My only hesitation in reviewing this property is that I would want it to always be available when coming through Marion! The cottage was clean, thoughtfully appointed, and right on the water. The hosts were proactively helpful without being at all intrusive. I arrived late that first night everything was easy and the place was warm, easy to find and quite comfortable. (My teenage daughter declared the place ‘quite vibey’ which is the highest compliment).

The cottage was small and beautifully arranged. It worked well for my husband and myself and well when our older grandchildren came by to visit. While it is in a small boat yard, the work that went on was quite and unobtrusive. Outdoor activities were available on the grounds. It was very easy to get into Marion Center. Our host left fresh cut flowers and wine for our stay. It was lovely.

Marion Gem

The cottage was absolutely beautiful, even lovelier than the photos. Everything is new and updated, while still maintaining its unique charm. Beautifully furnished and IMMACULATE. Super comfortable bed, clean crisp sheets and fluffy down comforter/pillows. Kellie has thought of everything, including beach pass and beach towels. Attention to every detail, down to the fresh flowers by the bed. The property itself was great too…tranquil water view, kayaks, bikes, fire pit, hammock and lots of outdoor seating. Our favorite surprise was the outdoor shower and bathroom. We were only there for a quick weekend getaway and were so sad to leave. Thank you Kellie for being such a wonderful host!!
