LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

Loved The Happy Lobster. Property management response time was phenomenal for the few minor things we needed. Problem with the grill. They had a new grill delivered the next day. Very clean and had everything we needed. Location was fabulous. Within walking to down town and beach. Only issue we had was the parking. Only one car parking. It was difficult to maneuver between 2 other cars oddly parked for 22A every time we left the cottage. For that reason only we prob wouldn’t stay again. It was stressful. Sorry!
