Absolutely Perfect

Our son and wife and 19 year old daughter joined us on the Cape for 5 days in June and we rented this home for them to stay. They loved it and thought it was absolutely perfect. It was comfortable…had everything and more that they needed… was close to everything….and communication with the owners was outstanding! Our daughter-in-law even made the comment that she could live there full time!

Great cape cod getaway

We had a beautiful week at this cottage which was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is very close by, 15 minute walk and the parking pass was very convenient. The beach was large and not overcrowded and had life guards on site. The area is great with cute shops in Hyannis.

Cozy little cape house in a quite neighborhood

We spend a week in Cape Cod and staying at Laura & Chris’s home. The location is great for us, it’s very residential and not too far away from the beaches, ferry ports and other attractions. The house is clean and fully equipped, comfortably accommodates two adults and two kids. Laura is very responsive and check in and out is super easy. Beach pass is a plus, and yes, I would recommend this place if you plan to visit Cape Cod by car.

Great house and location

The house was great. It was just enough space for me and my daughter. We loved and used the bikes, fire pit, outdoor shower. The house was one mile to Craigville Beach and also close to a grocery store and downtown Hyannis. Having linens provided was a big plus.

Excellent Cape Escape

Laura and Chris have a wonderful home with all that a family needs for the perfect Cape Cod retreat. We loved the outdoor shower, fire pit and used the bikes a ton. The proximity to Craigville beach and all that the mid-Cape has to offer was perfect. Laura and Chris were gracious and responsive hosts and we were thrilled with the opportunity to spend time in their home. Run, don't walk to this cottage by the sea.

Comfy getaway in quiet neighborhood near Craigville Beach

Comfortable 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom beach house in quiet residential neighborhood, with Craigville Beach about 1 mile (20-minute walk) away. House has all the kitchen essentials (except dishwasher), and washer / dryer in lower level. House was clean, living room was comfortable with large assortment of games and puzzles. Bedroom AC window unit was loud when it kicked on but effective.

Perfect

I was looking for a nice quiet neighborhood in a quaint cottage to take time away from my hectic life and I found it! The tasteful nautical 'Cape Cod' decor was charming. Very clean neat, calming colors, comfortable bed and living room sofa. If you enjoy tv, plenty of dvd's and shows. If you need a quiet space to read and/or get work done, this is the place. Water pressure in the shower was just right. I really cannot praise the cottage enough except to compliment the owner for being so friendly and available when I had a question. I returned home relaxed and revived. If I am in need of a quick getaway or a longer reprieve in the future I hope this little gem will be available.

We had a great stay at this charming and very clean home. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, which we really appreciated, but still just a short distance from Main Street and lots of things to do in the area. The house had everything we needed and made for a very comfortable and enjoyable visit.Our only complaint was that the twin beds in the guest room weren’t very comfortable. That said, we still had a lovely time and would definitely stay here again!
