About this property

Truly Wonderful Cape Cottage

Cottage #4 was completely renovated for my personal use and never intended as a rental. Well a move to the West Coast changed all that. So…Cottage #4 has everything I love and wanted in a cottage, a big kitchen designed for a cook.. with great appliances, great pots and pans, good knives, big gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, redwood counters, and an old soapstone sink. The bedroom has a comfortable queen sized bed, large window and skylight. The bathroom is beautiful, but the outdoor shower is all you will use. There is a big screen porch overlooking a private yard and wooded wetlands. There is cable TV (flat screen), and high speed internet. Its a spacious cottage perfect for two people. Just 2 miles to the national seashore beaches and a a short walk to beautiful Fort Hill and views of Nauset Marsh. My past guests have all said how much they feel at home in the cottage...and never want to leave.

This is a wonderful summer cottage with a great screened in porch. It’s compact, but just the right size for my husband and I enjoying a second year of renting this property. It’s within easy walking distance of Fort Hill and its beautiful views of water and marsh. You’re also close to the National Seashore, stores and restaurants.

Excellent Stay!

My fiancé and I spent a wonderful week in this charming, beautifully designed cottage in the days leading up to our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. The home was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and impressively well-stocked — from quality cookware to essentials like paper towels and trash bags — a generous and much-appreciated touch from our host. We especially loved the outdoor shower and enjoyed relaxing dinners under the magical bistro lights on the screened-in porch. The location is ideal too — just a short stroll to Fort Hill, where we found breathtaking views and a fantastic hiking trail. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Many thanks to our gracious host!

So pleasant, comfortable and convenient

The cottage is very tastefully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable for two people. The bed is great! It is on beautiful Fort Hill and only two minutes by car from the National Seashore headquarters. Air conditioning is helpful for those very hot days.

Lovely space

We had a great time in this cottage. The space is lovely, with big double doors opening onto a screened deck, so that the living room can feel almost like being outside. The kitchen is as well equipped as home. We also enjoyed the neighborhood. Fort Hill is nearby, with gorgeous walks overlooking the estuary and ocean, and we lucked into a tour of the historic Penniman House on the way. It would be worth scheduling :-)

Wonderful Cape Cod cottage

This is a wonderful Cape Cod cottage, cozy and roomy at the same time. A perfect spot from which to visit all our Cape Cod favorites. We did the Fort Hill hikes which are gorgeous and a little off the grid, so not too crowded in the busy summer months. We loved the screened in porch for morning coffee and dinner. Beautifully decorated, had everything we needed. Can’t say enough good things!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Meluskey

Host profile image
Had lived in Boston when I bought the cottages. I now live in Seattle and work for a WA State winery. This cottage is my sanctuary, where I go to relax and escape. A lot of love has gone into this cottage.

Why they chose this property

When I bought this property and it included all four cottages. I loved the proximity to Fort Hill and for many years would bring my whole family together.... everyone had a cottage. Moving to West Coast made this all difficult to manage, so sold off two cottages to friends. For many years we had our own compound, was a lot of fun.
