About this property

Charming Cottage Getaway

Our quaint cottage is located just a minute's walk from Osterville's village center, with its upscale shopping, dining and charming ambiance. It's a quick bike ride or short one-mile drive to the beach and just a ten-minute drive to Hyannis proper or any one of a number of Cape Cod villages. Although our place will accommodate up to 3, it is best as a romantic getaway for a couple, an excellent place for a friends' weekend jaunt, or a comfy spot for a solo adventurer. Our place is not appropriate for children. We do include towels and linens for our guests as well as a beach pass.
We prefer check-in no later than 7 pm

Simply put - this is a great Cape Cod cottage!

This is an adorable place to stay in a fantastic location within walking distance to the very cute town center. The owner is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The cottage is perfectly put together with an interior decorator's eye for detail and is perfect for a couple or a small group. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Perfect beach cottage

The Sand Dab was an adorable beach cottage in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Osterville. The beach pass was a great bonus too. Very clean, comfortable furniture and fun beach vibe.

Wonderful home base for great Cape vaca!

Mu best friend and I had a super stay at the Sand Dab! The extra touches were so welcoming, and it was a great spot for the two of us. Comfy beds, nice bathroom, great little kitchenette, too. We loved Dowses Beach, and Osterville is a convenient spot to travel south to P Town, Chatham, etc. Loved whale and seal watching, Fancy’s Market, Amie’s Bakery, Wimpy’s and the Chart Room. Thank you for a great stay!

AMAZING!!

I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about this property. It was the perfect little cottage for me and my husband. It was absolutely beautiful in the perfect location. Very close to the beach and decorated beautifully. We felt at home and relaxed the instant we walked in. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and we’re available if anything were to come up. The only downside was that our weekend went by too fast! We will definitely be booking next year and making this our yearly tradition.

Charmant cottage, charmante ville, charmant séjour

Idéal pour un séjour romantique! Tout y est pour se reposer dans un décor soigné typiquement bord de mer, cuisine minimaliste, divan confortable et literie de qualité. Emplacement parfait pour rayonner dans la région Lower Cape. Nous avons apprécié la carte de stationnement qui nous permettait de visiter plusieurs plages gratuitement à Barnstable. Grandeur appropriée pour deux adultes, max 3 avec un enfant. Définitivement une adresse à retenir!

lovely little cottage

what an adorable little space in a great location in osterville! very quiet and easily walkable to the heart of town. five stars for cleanliness. the space is small though, particularly the kitchen,, so if you plan on doing much cooking it may not be your best option. it was great to have to very reasonable sized bedrooms though. lots of positives on this property. absolutely LOVED the gas fireplace on the cool and rainy fall weekend when we were there! so cozy!

Perfectly adorable cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this well appointed cottage. We ate in one night and enjoyed takeout from a local deli sitting at the table in the backyard. Short drive to beaches and walking distance to several restaurants. Easy check-in and check-out. Gracious host checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed with just the right amount of attention.

Cape Cod in September

This was our second trip to the Sand Dab. We enjoyed our second visit just as much. This cozy cottage is comfortable, cute and very clean. There are so many towns to explore in Cape Cod! We enjoyed the shopping, restaurants, beaches, lighthouses, breathtaking ponds, etc! Just a great getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Raquel Nejako Victoria Miklosky

Host profile image
West Coast transplants from California, we fell in love with the Cape in mid-January ten years ago and knew it would only get better from there. We chose Osterville for its central location, quintessential Cape feel, amazing beaches, and quaint village vibe. We are so enamored with this small, upscale village that our primary residence is right down the road. There you'll find my wife of twenty-five years and I and our two pugs, Chow and Tater. We are both educators: I am busy as an independent college consultant and business owner, and she teaches Latin full time at the local public high school.

Why they chose this property

Only a mile from our primary residence, the cottage is unique in Osterville, a village defined by beautiful rambling oceanfront estates. It is a small, quaint, and comfy respite just steps from downtown Osterville shopping and dining. Clean and updated our place is a wonderful getaway. It does accommodate three, though it is more suited to a romantic hideaway for couples or a beach retreat for a couple of friends.

What makes this property unique

In a nutshell, the charm our cottage oozes was the clincher for us. From the sea salt shade on the shutters and door to the finely manicured, postage stamp front yard. Large enough to feel comfortable yet small enough to be uniquely quaint, the cottage is all about location, location, location. Only a 1 mile bike ride to Dowses Beach or steps to downtown shopping and dining, the central location at the edge of the village is what stole our hearts.
