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!

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!

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!

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
