Very pleasant stay in a great part of the Cape, just a few minutes drive from great beaches, restaurants and shops. The property was clean and comfortable with a nice yard. Small kitchen but well equipped and it served our purposes. Very responsive management company. Thank you.
So nice to go back and forth to beach…. Location great near all my fav restaurants… neighborhood quaint and quiet for late afternoon reading on the patio….. with a cocktail!
Stayed for a few days before the busy Cape season started. We were able to walk to Skaket, but it was pretty cold and windy, so the beach wasn't inviting. Check-in was easy, house was clean, and the stay was comfortable. We happened to be there during a nor-easter and lost power. We would have appreciated more support from the host while we were in unfamiliar territory during the big storm.
The property was clean and we couldn’t have asked for a better location. Such a short walk to the beautiful skaket beach where we spent most of our trip relaxing. The outdoor shower came in handy. The kitchen is admittedly small, but as long as you keep it to a minimum of 2 people cooking at once, it works great.
Cleanliness rating of 4 only because air conditioning units have mold growing inside them. Otherwise, home was very clean.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
This is a sweet house in a wonderful location but in need of better keeping and attention, likely from the management company. It is listed as including a washer and dryer, which it should not be. Both are in a dimly lit and dirty basement one needs to access via a dark and uneven staircase. I contacted the management company about this issue immediately and was told they would reimburse me for using a laundromat, send someone to clean up the pile that had been left and implied that it was just like many basements in Cape Cod, as if I were paying thousands of dollars and somehow missing the charm of being a local doing laundry in a dungeon. I will say that the agent I spoke with upon our return home was much more helpful that the first. The house was generally clean and was otherwise tidy. The AC units work well but do not reach the kitchen, which is fine if not cooking. The pretty sofa listed is smaller in person but fine enough to fit 3 for a movie. If you have children upstairs with the AC running, they won't be able to hear you as the units are loud, which is fine but worth mentioning. There were a number of spiders each day. On the positive side, the beds are very comfortable. Ample linens. The house is pretty and the location, as mentioned, is just wonderful. The outside shower is enjoyable and the area is neat. If I were the homeowner, I would get another agent.
The house is cute and conveniently located and the management company was very communicative.
