Really cute beach house!

It's a really good space for being a cottage! It has a full kitchen and living room and back porch, comfy bed, and the living room couch can sleep someone too! It's walking distance to everything in Salisbury beach! I would definitely stay there again!

Great little cabin!

The love shack was the perfect little beach getaway cabin for two. Three minute walk to center with lots of restaurants and activities! The only downside is it’s off a main road so if you have a third person sleeping in the tv room it’s very loud for anyone sensitive to noise. I will definitely be visiting again!

Clean and Cozy, just as advertised

Property was clean and well kept, jet tub worked which was a happy surprise since they tend not to work at rental properties. Updated appliances and small touches in the welcome package were great. We made the small property work for our family of four. Was conveniently located. A word of warning just to be very aware of your surroundings at the Salisbury beach, we had a couple of items taken, but that was nobody’s fault but our own, we were more careful after we realized there were people definitely “combing” the beach. Beautiful sunsets and great waves.

Good location, okay accomodation

This is a small, sparsely furnished/outfitted cottage a little worn around the edges in a really good location. Seems to have been put together for rental with pretty basic stuff and not overly-maintained. We would stay here again, but would look around for alternatives first.

Nice weekend get away

The Love Shack was clean and comfortable. Close to the beach and a short drive from many cool locations (Portsmouth, NH, Newburyport MA). The linens were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The host checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. The only negative comment I can make is that the bathroom needs fresh paint. But we would definitely rent the Love Shack again!

Since we used this property primarily for sleeping, we didn't spend much time there, and it was adequate for that purpose. The posted pictures are better than the reality.

Love Shack Lacking

Very convenient A+ location, walking distance to the beach, restaurants, etc. The location is what attracted me to find the Love Shack. However the cleanliness of the place was not what I was expecting, did not look or feel very clean, could use a deep cleaning. Definitely looked better in the photos. Very few glasses and silverware in the kitchen, several other things that others have mentioned in their reviews. 3 nights cost $840 after all the fees, I was expecting a little bit better I guess for that much money.

Love Shack

Although there were some nice touches, this property is at best adequate. A welcome bottle of wine is a nice greeting, but only one wine glass! And it's called the Love Shack. A new refrigerator, but no ice trays so no ice cubes. The kitchen is sparsely equipped: 4 plates and bowls -- no serving dishes -- 4 mismatched mugs -- 1 chipped -- 5 glasses -- if a jelly jar counts as a glass. The view is pleasant, but no place to sit and enjoy it -- in fact no yard at all.

Love (The) Shack

Cool spot. Would definitely stay again. Cute little place VERY close to the beach - easy 3 minute walk. Things to know: Gets a little bright in the BR in the morning. Unless you’re an early riser, pack a sleep mask or whatever those things are called. The shower is also a tub which is higher and may be difficult to get in and out for some. Not complaints, just things to know that may be an issue for others. We liked the location a lot. Salisbury Beach itself was apparently happening back in the day. Looks like they are working on revitalizing. Still cool since we prefer a little more low key anyway. Also within easy driving distance of Newburyport, Hampton, Portsmouth and York. We like to hit breweries and there are plenty within a short distance. Stoneface is highly recommended. If you want a cute place to sleep close to the beach, this is it.

you take a chance

a lot of issues .On a main st 8' ft away from front door. traffic heard in the bedroom doors shut. It needs a hand rail on Right hand side to main tain balance as you push the storm door oope which has a lot of resistance and no glass in the bottom half of the door. Couch needs to be cleaned and or replaced, did not look good and could not sit comfortably ,sink in a hole. Bathroom needs some caulking r& Replace. Paint under sink and along tub. and some paint as it needs a bit of attention.Bed had a hump in the middle because there are 2 body in dents lower than center. Bed Rm sliding door does not operate. Struggle to lift wiggle to get partially open. It is a short walk to beach. In the tub the Handel is reversed , a short movement gives hot water. Move on (counter clock wise)and it turns cold.This was an ok place improvements would make it closer to a love shack

Salisbury Beach stay

We were staying in the area for a family wedding and hoped to find a place to stay that offered access to the beach. The property is very basic, but covers all needs. Liann was extremely helpful and immediately responsive when we arrived to find that there was a strong, unpleasant odor in the unit. She drove more than an hour to try to help solve the problem, which was helpful. The unit itself is somewhat as advertised, but it sits on a busy road with lots of loud motorcycles and trucks passing by. It's also very close to the neighboring homes, which means that all the accompanying sounds of people enjoying their summer weekend are shared with everyone. These were mostly fine, with the exception of a yappy dog that started barking at 7am both weekend mornings. In a beach destination like Salisbury Beach, you expect a lively summer population, so it was mostly as we anticipated and were not overly disturbed by the noise (except for the dog). A couple of suggestions for the future would be to add a trash can in the bathroom and make sure that there is always a way to light the stove since the internal mechanism was not working. Although our start was not ideal, we ultimately had three very comfortable nights at the Love Shack and would recommend it to others who are looking for a basic place to stay in the Salisbury Beach area.

Pros and Cons

I will start with the pros of this property. It was very clean upon arrival and had everything needed in the kitchen with a bottle of wine and water in the fridge which was a nice touch. The place was very close to the beach, restaurants and boardwalk which made it very convenient. (Eat at Seaglass if you get a chance!)The bed was comfy. Now for the cons. The house had a great view as described, but there was also a very busy road just steps from the door which made it hard to keep the door open to see the view. The check in process was ok, but I never received an email with the door code and had to bother the owner for the code. Upon check-in we realized the bedroom a/c temp was stuck at 72 and blowing hot air. I contacted the owner again and was told that is the temp it needs to stay on which seems a bit warm to me especially when it was 85 each day. The buttons didn't work so you could not change it from fan to cool or anything so there was no point in using it. The other problem we had was with the washer as it would not drain or spin out. I notified the owner with that problem and didn't get a response. However the property manager sent an email that I didn't receive until after the trip that said I was notified of these two issues before the trip and that both the a/c and washer had signs on them that said out of order. My friend and I didn't see signs and I also checked junk mail and didn't receive any emails prior to arrival. If I had received an email I would not have used the washer (as I had to hand wring out the towels and bathing suits) and I would have brought a fan. Anyway, my friend and I made the best of these small problems because we weren't at the shack very much as we spent our days at the beach. It's a cute little place and many people who don't travel as much as I do would be very happy there. I was told a new washer will be coming so that shouldn't be an issue but I'm not sure of the a/c. Bring a fan if you like it cooler!

Quick beach get away

Stumbled on this little gem while searching for hotels in Salisbury. Having the cottage to ourselves vs a noisy hotel was great! It’s not directly on beach but the walk is VERY short as is the walk to town. Will def be back!
