About this property

Our quaint 1950's classic cottage, cozy and charming, was totally rebuilt as a classic Cape Cod Saltbox in 2017. On the edge of the ocean close to the Hyannis Yacht Club, it is ideal for 2 couples, a small family of 4, or singles. We rebuit the cottage to include a large loft in crisp, European style. It offers year-round amenities, WIFI, basic cable service, AC & heat. The sunny living/dining room features vintage antique and modern accents. Relax on the comfortable sofa that converts to a queen bed, or slip onto the loveseat to finish your favorite book. The corner desk is great for projects or checking email. The loft has a queen bed and bunk beds.The new bathroom is light and airy with a cathedral ceiling and skylight. The new galley kitchen has modern appliances and a stack washer/dryer. Note: there is no dishwasher. The lofty cathedral ceiling sports skylights with bright sun all day & a ceiling fan to keep the breezes flowing. The new sliding door extends the kitchen onto the sunny, private deck, with dining/deck furniture and gas grill.

Fall week getaway

Lovely property. Had a bit of excitement when the hurricane came close but we were provided with everything we needed and the owners came to their home nearby to make sure everything was as it should be . Would definitely rent the same property again!

Perfectly Pleasing Hyannis Cottage!

I absolutely loved my stay at Elaine's and John's Hyannis cottage! It was a perfect fit for my family of two (myself and young child). The location cannot have been better: truly a 3-minute walk to the beach and yet an easy bike ride (on a dedicated and well-maintained bike path) to Main Street Hyannis and the ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket! I enjoyed having a quiet house and peaceful setting to retreat to after a long day enjoying the outdoors. My child loved being out in the yard that was sized just right for running and jumping during lawn games. The cottage was well-appointed and has all you need to enjoy your vacation. And, the outside shower is a huge bonus! Out hosts were in touch and able to answer any questions quickly. They are lovely. Thank you!! We look forward to visiting their property soonest!

Norris Cottages

The house was just as advertised. Extremely cute on a quiet dead end street of similar houses. A 5 minute drive to downtown Hyannis and 5 minute walk to the beach. There isn’t any privacy since there is just a loft with sleeping quarters and no bedrooms but it worked out fine for us. The owner was very responsive via email and text with information and answers to questions. I recommend this adorable cottage for a stay on the Cape.

A wonderful week!!

My family and I really enjoyed this cottage. Very cute and confortable. We loved the deck, had almost all our meals outside. Kitchen is a bit small but it works! Very handy to have washer/dryer. The area is nice and quiet. It’s a short walk to the beach but we didn’t love it so we drove to other beaches and paid parking… Great communication with owners. Thanks Elaine and John!

About the host

Hosted by Elaine R. Cwynar

As a retired chef/professor, I enjoy local seafood and taught culinary arts and Vegetarian cuisine for 32 years at a local university. My husband puts his software engineer expertise to work anywhere we go. Staying at the Cape gives us a mini-vacation whenever we spend time here. Our favorite walks and sunsets are right around the corner. We have the most fun going shellfishing and sharing nature's bounty with family and friends. The peace and quiet are refreshing and give us a great perspective on what is really important; family, friends, time together, device-free time, nature, great food and meeting our guests!

Why they chose this property

Our Saltbox cottage was my home for years. We rebuilt it from the ground up into a new Saltbox that is bright and cheery. As our family grew, we needed more room for our grandchildren and friends. Hence, we were lucky enough to purchase the bungalow next door which has been a favorite family reunion spot. Bring your family and enjoy being together with your own cottage or bungalow to return to in the evening for your own quiet time.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the peace and quiet, long walks and easy access to activities like fishing, island visits to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket and Provincetown. Our outdoor shower is so refreshing and convenient, we use it far into the fall season as well. Our winter sojourns here are as comfortable and relaxed as summer, so we hope you consider coming during off-season as well for a well-deserved break or to enjoy the holidays.
