What a quaint and relaxing space to unwind after a fun day exploring the outer cape! Everything you could need for a comfortable stay (and nothing more- in the best way).We loved the walking path behind the cottage to walk our pup. The owner was very responsive to our messages and left very clear instructions for the ins and outs of the home.
Great place to stay as a base for exploring the Cape. Kerig Coffee pot kept going off & on. Glad there was a reg pot available. Woods was a convenient place to walk our dog Rigby. We enjoyed our stay.
Fantastic little place to stay in a great location on the Cape. The host was extremely accommodating and their attention to detail was above and beyond. The Cabin had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Definitely planning on booking again in the future!
Really lovely small cabin in great location. It was hot when we walked in, but opening windows and doors created a great cross breeze. Much cooler. When outside temp got unbearable, the AC units worked quickly. Fantastic communication with manager
We loved this little house. It had a perfect vintage feel and smell, in all the best ways. It really took me back in time to when I would go to old school beach shacks with my grandparents and family. Bedding was comfortable, everything was clean. AC worked great. We traveled with 2 kids and a dog and there was plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor area was perfect for relaxing and First Encounter Beach is awesome for kiddos. Can’t wait to return!
Such a wonderful stay at this adorable cottage. It was very clean and had all the charm that you would hope a cape cottage to have. The kitchen and space was equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed hanging out here in the mornings and at night. The cottage grove is off a busy central street, but this cottage is tucked back and extremely peaceful. The location was perfect and made bopping around the area easy. We didnt end up biking, but is very close to the bike path. Andrei's instructions and local recommendations were very thoughtful and helpful. We are already looking forward to planning our next visit!
