Reviews of Property: Walk 8 minutes to beach, 5 minutes to town! Kids' loft. Perfect location

Our family, including two boisterous boys, just returned from a lovely weekend at Seamist Cottage. The location, design and charm of the cottage could not have been more perfect. From the fun loft that kept our boys delighted on a rainy day, to the thoughtful layout of the space, we had everything we needed to enjoy a mini-vacation!

I stayed with my husband and (almost) 5 year old son. It was a great place. Our son loved the loft - the toys, books and games, and we grown-ups loved that, too! The washer/dryer and dishwasher were major plusses and being able to walk to town and the train station were great. The owner had brochures for our specific interests and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. As all the other reviews have said, the cottage was very clean and welcoming. We will be back!

I spent my 60th birthday at Sea Mist Cottage, and it was perfect.
Easy to reach from commuter rail station (train out of Boston), and
close to beaches and Bearskin Neck with shops/restaurants. The
cottage itself is well put together and contained everything I required, and the hosts, Pat and Allie, are great. I plan to return.

We just returned from a very enjoyable stay at Sea Mist Cottage. The cottage is very clean and so cute! My two sons (ages 9 and 11) loved the loft and all the Legos and board games. We didn't have a car and we didn't need one - the train station is only minutes away! Can't wait to come back next year!

Super vacation rental!

We had such a great time staying at Pat's lovely cottage last year that we just had to come back again. It's so great to be able to walk to town and enjoy the beach and restaurants without worrying about securing a parking spot. And it's the perfect home base for making day trips to Boston and Kittery. We loved coming back "home" after a day of sightseeing or relaxing on the beach. Kim had so much fun playing in the Teddy Bear Loft. We are already planning our third visit back next summer. Thanks Pat and Allie for making us feel so comfortable and welcome. You thought of everything when you designed the cottage.

We had a wonderful 2 weeks. The accomodation was exactly as described, clean, beautifully appointed, everything we needed. We were made to feel very welcome. We would not hesitate to recommend to our friends. lovely location and ideal to explore the area.

My wife and I traveled from VT for a relaxing anniversary weekend this past May. What a great space! Beautiful, clean, lots of light... and we could even bring our dog! I also love to cook, and the gas stove was a real treat. We are already planning a trip this fall and will have a new baby with us... bonus plug - Pat likes to babysit! What else could we ask for seriously?!

Thanks again Pat!

We found this property very clean, attractively decorated, and convenient/comfortable for 2 adults for our one week stay. This was a great "home base" for our sightseeing trips to Rockport, Glaucester, Essex, and Ipswich. Having a full kitchen and a washer and dryer were most appreciated and useful. We saved money by eating 2 meals in daily, dining out only for lunch when prices are much lower than in the evening. We left with no dirty laundry and appreciated accomplishing this chore in the evening without leaving the cottage. The king size bed was wonderfully spacious and "slept well" for those of us who suffer from "back issues"!! While the entire cottage was very clean, the bathroom was extremely clean - a big issue for us!!
The owner was helpful and eager to provide information to assist in making our stay memorable and exciting, yet she was also respectful in giving us "our space". Her friendly attitude left us feeling like we had stayed with a good friend rather than in a "hotel".
If you are looking for a reasonably priced, very clean, attractive, recently renovated, private living space for your trip to the Cape Ann area, this would be a good choice. While there is no view of the ocean from the cottage, the "trade off" is a fair price, many above mentioned amenities, and close proximity to the downtown area. We truly had the feeling each day when we returned to the cottage that we were "coming home". It was difficult to leave and if we decide to vacation in the area again, the Sea Mist will certainly be our "home base".
