Summary: Forest and his mother Ginger, as well as their family member Happy were all a pleasure to deal with. Their communication was perfect and they were accommodating to every question and concern that we had. Definitely easy people to work with.The check in and checkout times were standard for this type of rental but I would say the checkout procedure was above average easy.The location is great, as any long-term stay can be accommodated by about a 15-minute trip to a local Market Basket as well as several smaller provisions closer by.The property... Boy oh boy the property.....It's truly a secret I'm letting out because if you're reading this and thinking about renting from forest and his family, you have struck gold. This house is part of a large estate owned by dozens of members that take excellent care of a large Oasis on the ocean. The views and the nature that surround the property are extraordinary. The private beach is visited only by other estate renting members as well as the family who is part of the large estate. It makes for a private, exciting, peaceful environment.If you're into lawn games and tennis, there are great provisions for both, if you are in for an ocean kayak, you have been taken care of already, if you're looking for a big cozy house to stare at the ocean from, you have been blessed.I had the privilege to marry my wife here and this place will forever be special. It's view is immaculate, it is well maintained, and it is the place to be.TYJesus

Summary: My family loved staying in this historic house! It was so peaceful and the views were incredible, our stay was much too short! The home is so comfortable and the antiques and artwork were fascinating. It was a perfect place for the bride and her bridal party to get ready for the wedding, thank you for sharing your home with us!

Summary: My family enjoyed the house and view very much. We had a great vacation and the house was so cozy to rest in between site seeing. However the house definitely needs a furnace. Forest was a wonderful host ☺️

Summary: The house has great charm and the beds were comfy. It is an older home that comes along with some quirks but nothing that can spoil the beautiful property and location! Forest was very responsive and helpful.
