PSJ Perfection

We loved everything about this house and our stay here. It is very tastefully decorated with nice furnishings. The kitchen is very well stocked. It was very clean. Our great pyranees loved the big fenced backyard. The location is great and an easy walk to Reid St. Kristen was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

Relaxing long weekend

The house was just as described/listed. It was spotless clean, very comfortable beds, great fenced in big shaded back yard with a nice multi level deck to enjoy your morning coffee or grill out. The yard is perfect also for pets. The house is a convenient walk to Reid Ave where there are great restaurants and lots of boutique shops. There is also a nice view of the lighthouse from the back deck. We had a great time and will definitely be staying again soon.

This property had everything we needed and was so welcoming/ The beds were very comfortable, it was clean and cool inside. We had plenty of space for our family and the back yard for the dogs was great too. We also brought our boat for scalloping and had a place to park it and all of our vehicles. it's definitely on the list to rent again!

Wonderful!!!

We booked a short "stay-cation" with our family for a quick weekend scalloping trip and this house was absolutely perfect! The host, Kristen was very responsive and a dream to work with. They are very hospitable and offered to loan us anything and everything you could imagine in regards to all things beach. This house was clean and accommodating to our needs. Plenty of parking (even for a boat). Lots of eateries and shops within walking distance. 10/10 recommend. Will be repeat guests!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the fabulous Skippers Beacon. Location was wonderful as it was only a couple of blocks to all the shops and restaurants. The dogs loved the beautiful fenced in back yard The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to share home cooked meals together! We loved the historic architecture of the cottage.
