The house was clean, comfortable and cozy. Great kitchen very well stocked. The gorgeous deck would be delightful in good weather. We were dealing with snow and windchill and spent most of our time in the comfy living room sitting around the fire, enjoying the view. Owner was very helpful and answered text quickly.This house is great for a get away any time of year!

Had a wonderful time in this gorgeous home. The location was gorgeous, and the sunsets were amazing. The home had everything you'd need and more. The host, I can't say enough about him, he was responsive, helpful, down to earth and simply amazing to deal with. If you're looking for a spot to unwind this is the place. Wish we had stayed longer! Highly recommend!

The house was beautiful and the view really was stunning! It was so nice to have a lot of seating both inside and outside. We loved sitting outside during the day and around the fire at night. Ping pong and darts were a big hit as well. Our family had an amazing time and we hope to visit again when we’re in the area. Thank you to our hosts for providing such a wonderful vacation experience.

Great house and location

The house was perfect for our family and children. The outdoor space is amazing and there was plenty for the kids (kayaks, ping pong, chairs, toys, games, etc). The house was clean and had everything we needed - the kitchen was stocked with every pot/pan/utensil and there were plenty of towels and toiletries. Location is great and Bill was very responsive.

Beautiful location and home

My family stayed here for a weekend and loved it! Right on the ocean with a private beach, and a public beach a mile away. Bill was kind enough to let us use his beach chairs and kayak, which we took full advantage of. With multiple bathrooms and bedrooms, this is a perfect place for a getaway weekend with your family or friends! We hope to stay again

Great Island Retreat

My family and I had a wonderful island retreat. The house was more than we could have asked for and the location and views were stunning. We had a great time cooking and dining in the deck taking in the views. The kids loved playing in the backyard and on the private beach access. The beach in the other side of the island was a fun time too. We would definitely visit again!

We had a great time at Bill’s place! The house is absolutely stunning and very thoughtfully prepared. The sunsets can’t be beat and as a larger group, we appreciated all the various places to sit and gather. The tide schedules are helpful if you’re wanting to utilize the property’s beach or town beach. The whole-house Sonos system was a lot of fun and easy to use. The location is central to many Cape recommendations- we took day trips to MV and Woods Hole/Falmouth. Would highly recommend, especially for larger groups that appreciate their own spaces.

Wonderful Stay!

Our family stayed at this home while in town for the Army vs. Navy game in December. The house was clean, warm and very welcoming. Communication from the owner was excellent as were his restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed the house and area so much we are considering a summer get-a-way there in the future to enjoy the outside patio and beach more. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely waterfront home

Extended family really enjoyed our stay. House was very clean and kitchen well stocked. Bill was a super responsive host. Highlights included sitting on the expansive deck with views of the water, being able to launch kayaks right from the house to explore coastline and estuaries, walking around the island and to the beach.
