We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was very clean and very well equipped. The location couldn't have been better - just steps to easy beach access.
Really nice home. Perfect for our family. Mom spent all her time on the huge front porch. Kids spent a ton of time on the nice enclosed back porch. Beds were good. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of books to enjoy. Location was very walkable to the beach. Would def stay here again. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear the home was perfect for your family and that everyone enjoyed their favorite spots, from the front porch to the enclosed back porch. It's great to know the beds, kitchen, and books added to your comfort and enjoyment. We’re glad the location worked well for a walk to the beach, and we’d love to host you again anytime. Thanks again for choosing our home!
Great place to stay. Plenty of room for this work trip with my assistance in their children. Kids loved the pool and a really cool walk down to the beach.

Thank you so much for this glowing review, Brooke! It was a pleasure hosting you at Astin Cottage and we look forward to hopefully hosting you again soon! Safe travels home to you.
Absolutely loved this property!! It was great for my husband and I, our adult children (8 adults including us) and 4 babies ages 3 and under. Very well appointed house lacking nothing and very clean, comfortable beds, great pool and porch areas. Loved everything about it! Did have an issue with the freezer and the company responded quickly (honestly it is just very tricky to close well- we learned;-) Would go back in a heartbeat while we can still fit in this house !!

We move been coming to the same stretch if cottages along East Beach for years and Astin’s Cottage was the best yet. Modern decor, space for the entire family, 5 minute walk to the Ocean’s edge and a backyard oasis to relax. We hope to be able to come back again soon!

The home was beautiful, the pool was perfect, location to the beach was an easy walk, the neighborhood nice and shaddy for taking walks, it was a short drives to all the best restaurants on the island. Our only negative was that the dryer stopped functioning on our third day there and the management company was anable to fix it promptly. So we were unable to clean the towels and clothing for our toddler.
