Great!
This is our 2nd year staying here for a week in August. Higgins Beach is such a special place and this is a great spot to relax and enjoy vacation. We have been coming here for over 30 years and stayed in many different houses but this one is exactly as described, clean, easy, good communication. We love it.

Cozy place that could use a bit of updating and refreshing. The older couches had multiple layers of covers so not comfortable. Scratched furniture. House not clean when arrived and informed host of such. Broken kitchen cabinet and left window, leaking porch roof, front door does not latch, broken trim on chimney, cracked plastic lawn chair, dirty beach wagon/cart. Kitchen could use some other items, tongs, small bowls. Messy side porch with cleaning supplies left out. Strong smell of mothballs from closet. Host did not respond to communication after check in. Good water pressure, quiet street and good location. Not a great value at this price point with no linens provided. Snug bedrooms so fine for couple/small family. Would recommend for friends/family!

Perfect Location!
We loved our week staying here. This is a cute little beach bungalow with everything we needed to enjoy a week at the beautiful Higgins Beach. The proximity to the beach is easy and the front porch with its party lights was our favorite place to spend our time when we weren't on the beach.

Beautiful location, quaint cottage
Location was absolutely perfect! Walking distance to the beach in a very friendly and well kept beach neighborhood. Cottage is very quaint and quiet on the edge of the marsh. It is a “bring your own” type cottage- sheets, towels, blankets, salt and pepper (we left some for the next folks to use) etc. Cottage is simple as pictured. Basic yet cozy and comfortable. There is a beach carriage and fold up wagon to use as well as some bogey boards which we were thankful for. We did notice that the floors have been updated since photos were taken. My only advice is that if you love to cook like we do, bring your own spices or check out the farmers market in town on Wednesdays and Sundays.

We ourselves spend our Summer's at Higginsbeach. We came here over 28 years ago and fell in love with Higginsbeach.
We hope you will come and enjoy the beauty of the beach and Rachel Carson preserve.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property or rather it chose us. One year before the property came on the market,my husband and I drove by the cottage and I remarked to him how cute it was and we would own it someday. We both laughed . A year later who knew it would become ours.

What makes this property unique

Single floor living. New floors installed. Cozy cottage. Has an enclosed porch for eating , sitting outside in evening without the bugs. Also small open porch in front. Short walk to beach,and cottage backyard is Rachel marsh preserve.
