Warm welcome to the Cape

Ed was a lovely host. The house is very close to the Cape Cod Canal and Shawme-Crowell State Park, so a great location. Fantastic to have a full house with central a/c during hot summer months!

Wonderful, beautiful place, boat ramp so handy, very narrow but doable. Loved the pool and hot tub, comfy beds. They even had a spice rack which was great because I forgot our spices for the burgers. Husband loved having the black stone griddle! Nice relaxing weekend, looking at coming back next year!

Karren and her family of friends was such a joy to host. During this day, they made me feel so great to have them. They were very friendly, they enjoyed using the barbecue grill and their big catch of fish in the canal just down the street. I highly recommend Karen to all VRBO host and back to Cape Cod.

Cape code trip

The house was great, had all the amenities you’d expect, the mini split setup was great for peace of mind with your pets. The location was great and close to a lot of the attractions in Sandwich you would want to go to. Ed was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed.

Perfect for us!

What a charming old house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the host Ed couldn't have been nicer and greeted us as we arrived. He showed us around and told us about the house. The location was perfect for us to visit our son who is working in the area. House was super clean and our two small under 20lb. (noisy) dogs were welcome. The dresser in the bedroom is the same antique dresser I have at home!! I would stay again. We had fun watching the wild turkeys that were nearby. Thanks again Ed.

Overall, for the price, this was a good stay. The good: Price, friendly owner, clean house, dogs allowed. The bad:There were some parts that were a little much, but I like to think they were one-off situations. In any case, our check-in time was Friday at 4, but we weren’t permitted to enter until 5:30 because of electrical issues. Our checkout time was Monday at 10:00 am, but we were awoken by an electrician at 8 am, and the owner and electrician were in the house until we left. It felt like we were being babysat as we were packing up and getting ready to say goodbye to each other. The lock was difficult to use and we often got locked out of the house. A lot of things in the house are locked — the AC temperatures, downloading apps on the tv (nothing crazy, I think it was just Hulu or something). A mouse ran across the kitchen counter one night, but we didn’t see it again once we hid any food in the fridge. Pests are unavoidable in an old cape house though. I hate giving tough reviews like this, especially when the owner was so nice, but I feel like for other people like us who might be going on their annual family vacation, it’s important to know what you’re staying at. Again, overall, we had a great time, that’s why I gave 4 stars.

Ed is a very nice man. The house is rustic, which I enjoyed. The location was perfect for proximity to the event I was attending. Regrettably, these were the only positive things about my visit. What to know before booking this rental: 1. The house is difficult to navigate if you have any mobility issues (1" floor height difference between rooms, laundry located in low ceiling basement, treacherous stairs, complicated door lock, one bathroom on second floor) 2. I arrived after a long journey for posted check in at 4:00pm, but Ed did not leave the unit until 6:30pm and it still wasn't cleaned sufficiently. 3. It is not mentioned, but Ed lives about 50 feet from the rental house with no privacy. I would not have booked this rental had I known the owner could observe me due to a prior bad experience. 4. The heat/AC system (mini splits) is locked by the landlord. I could adjust the heat between 62 and 70. I could not turn off the heat/ turn on the AC/ increase the heat without making a phone call to Ed to change it from his phone. This was very inconvenient as I visited during the season change and required AC one day and heat the next. 5. Be sure to indicate you need each of the three bedrooms. Ed locked the bedrooms that wont be in use. I had to specifically request access to the additional bedrooms on the second day for friends to stay. 6. Kitchen dishes/ utensils were dusty and greasy, and linens had hair in them. A professional cleaner between visitors would be a big help.
The thermostats are next to the units and locked. You have to sit beneath them if you want to be comfortable in the drafty house. You must call (not text) to change the temperature.

I contacted VRBO "prior to posting" to inform them that this review is a "Defamation of Character" issue and have all the evidence to prove each alleged complaint. VRBO, without communication of verification with me, chose to post this defamation.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Santos

Host profile image
This house is 100 years old. My original bathtub (kitchen sink) continues to survive. My mother was born in 1935 in the upstairs bathroom. In 2003 I completed a course in both Property Management and Real Estate Investing. After retirement, I made my decision to be a host in 2019 having a minimum review of 4.88 from over 150 reviews.

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located 1 mile from the Sagamore Bridge and 3.5 miles from the Bourne Bridge and to many events for example, we have hosted 4 repeated fishing reservations for the past 3 years. Guest come here to attend weddings at the Heritage Garden 3 miles away as well as attending graduations at the Mass Maritime Academy 7 miles away. Additionally, many travelers use our accommodation to be 48 miles closer to Logan Airport for their departure flights. We also have direct bus runs to both airports from here.
