A guest from Doha, XX

What were they thinking?
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Firstly, we arrived to a house that had obviously been last cleaned at least several weeks prior and then left sealed up. This was evident because there were spiders, spider webs and ant carcasses EVERYHWERE! We had to spend two hours vacuuming in a sweltering, stuffy house after travelling all day, and my son was too creeped out to sleep well. And forget about the basement “bedroom”, it was so spidery and musty it was unusable.Then, the owners decided to re-mulch the entire lawn and fell a huge tree during the middle of our rental, without any advance notice. All of the windows were open (as the house has no A/C and gets swelteringly hot during the day), and hence the entire house -- kitchen, bedding, clothes, everything, became coated in a thick layer of brown mulch dust. I was so allergic that I had to abandon the rental and stay with family. To boot, the mulching work displaced legions of yellow jacket hornets, which swarmed the car each time we returned to the property.I brought all of this to the attention of the letting agency and received no follow-up response. It was an extremely disappointing experience all around.

This property has a special place in my heart, as my parents owned it from the early 1950s to about 1990 when current owner purchased it. The current owner recreated the cabin that my parents built and where we spent our summers. The new cabin is wonderful and brought back so many memories during our week-long stay.

Wonderful Cape Cod stay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We so enjoyed our time at Sandpiper Cottage. The owners took great care to provide everything we needed. We loved the large eat-in kitchen where our family bonded over breakfast and played board games in the evening. The location was perfect - every point of interest was less than an hour away. We look forward to staying there again!

Great place to stay.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay. The location of the property is terrific, we made good use of the local ponds, Nauset beach, the rail trail, and the local stores. Not too far from the rail trail, and central to many different areas of the Cape. The photographs do not do the property justice-- very peaceful, tucked-away setting surrounded by trees, and lovely view all round. The house was clean and well set up. It did get hot even with the fans. There was a knob missing from each of the dryer and oven-- dryer not an issue but we couldn't use the oven as there was no means to turn it on or judge temperature. We mostly grilled, so not a major problem but did rule out baking.

Love the Cape
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week in the Cape as always. Overall the rental was good. The only negative were the mattresses they were very uncomfortable and the bedroom upstairs was hot. I would suggest replacing the mattresses at the very least and adding air conditioning or more ceiling fans.
