We’ve stayed in several Phippsburg area cottages over the last decade and this one is certainly one of the good ones - well loved and maintained over the years. Kathy has thought of every detail and is a great host - available and quick to respond. For example, when we couldn’t find the drying rack, Kathy got a new one and brought it over immediately. The cottage is well-stocked with just about anything you’d need, and had ample space for our family of five, including 3 teenagers. There were even 2 full size futons in the living areas that were great for daytime lounging and an extra sleeping space for my dad one night. It’s location is pretty nice, too, with water views from the upstairs bedrooms and a quick little walk between some neighboring cottages to get to Kathy’s Adirondack chairs at the edge of the water. We did miss having some sort of porch/deck area at the house for outdoor sitting and dining, though. The only reason for our 4-star rating instead of 5 was the restrictions on water. Many of these water’s edge communities are limited in their waste water abilities, so we strictly adhered to the suggested water-saving measures, including 5-minute showers and rinsing off at the beaches. Our kids even took showers at my brother’s place to help conserve. (At another cottage we stayed in, they had an outdoor rinse-off shower that didn’t tie into the wastewater system. Maybe Kathy would consider installing one in the future to help this situation?) In retrospect, we were probably more conscious about our water usage than necessary, but wanted to be sure we didn’t put too much stress on the system and that we received our security deposit in the end. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage and would definitely rent it again. Thanks, Kathy!
