Cute bungalow conveniently located near a nice pond and walking trails. Nice amenities like new bikes and kayaks to play with. We had a very nice visit using Compass Rose cottage as our base of operations to explore the Cape and Nantucket. Our hosts were great communicators and very responsive.

The cottage was adorable and so charming. It was the perfect location for a home base to explore Cape Cod and we had a wonderful vacation. A short drive to beautiful beaches, and if weather had been warmer we would have been able to kayak and swim in the pond which is a short walk from the house. We loved the peaceful and quiet location. It had everything we needed.

Compass Rose worked out perfect for a quick December getaway. We just went out hiking every day & cooked in at night. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and we loved the little dining room as the many windows brought a lot of light in. Carol was very responsive from the moment we booked. Would definitely recommend for a couple or a small family and any time of year on the Cape can be fun.
