Great vacation

We had a great week in South Dennis. The house was perfect for our family with four children. It was clean, spacious and the outdoor space with fire pit was a favorite- relaxing and quiet. It was also just a short drive to other places we wanted to explore on the cape, like the Chatham fishing pier, Wellfleet drive-in, and renting bikes to ride on the cape cod rail trail. We also really enjoyed Mayflower beach. Overall, we had a great week and would recommend to family and friends looking to visit.

This was our second time staying at the property. Everything was clean and the house had everything we needed to make us feel right at home. We loved the close proximity to the beaches and the water at the end of the street. We spent a lot of time there paddle boarding and looking for crabs. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to return again next summer!

A beautiful and serene lakeside getaway.

My wife and I spent a memorable week at Judiths enchanting lakeside cottage. We loved relaxing on the deck overlooking the lake(and the ever present ducks!), while also appreciating the spaciousness of the cottage itself...the kitchen was truly well equipped, the bedroom and the dining room were very roomy. Best of all, was the delightful and large sun room, decorated in a most interesting fashion, with huge picture windows with lovely views of the woods outside. Overall, we had one of our best VRBO experiences, and have already told our friends that this is one special place!

Great home in great location

The house was just as described. It was perfect for me and my husband to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we look forward to coming back in the future and bringing our 12 year old daughter. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and it was centrally located to everything. The house had kayaks to use and a nice little beach at the end of the road. Unfortunately for us, it was cold and rainy the entire weekend so we weren't able to enjoy those. We are hoping to be able to use them next time. Judith was a pleasure to deal with and we would definitely stay here again.

Yearly cape vacation

This house was as pictured. It's very spacious eith a large living atea, sunroom, large master with king bed, second bedroom with full and twin and a hood size bathroom. The kitchen is newly renovated and has everything you need. The deck is nice although we really didn't get to use it much as we were gone most of the time. We did have issues with the Roku tv system. We're not used to dealing with streaming tv and prefer to watch live tv and news shows. Most live tv shows reqiired a sign in or code which we didn't have...we would have preferred regular cable tv, but that's just us. The only other recommendation I have is to put up a mirror in the master bedroom so you don't tie up the bathroom doing hair and makeup. Also, it's difficult to see the road when coming out of the driveway..shrubs need to be trimmed back. All in all we enjoyed our stay and had a great week.
