Nice Beach House
It was lovely and we had a wonderful week. The town beaches in Chatham are bigger and nicer. High tide does not impact room to sit. Private beach steps are steep and not easy to navigate with beach gear.

Cozy cottage with only 10 min walk to the beach.
The cottage was everything we needed for our family of 5 adults. It was clean and comfortable. The grill appeared to be fairly new as it was very clean and worked well. The location was great as less than 10 min walk to the beach. We discovered the Sailing Cow Cafe for lunch and drinks which was only a short walk away.

Great spot and cute home
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was very clean (which is a top priority to us). The outdoor shower was so perfect after beach days and we loved the mudroom/ laundry room entrance on the side to drop our shoes and towels. The house was very spacious for us. It was our family of 3 (myself, my husband, and our 2yr old). Mariann was great to communicate with. We would recommend this property.

Close to the beach!
Very short walk to a very nice private beach. Quiet neighborhood. Beds comfy. Everything in the house worked well: central air, all plumbing, all the appliances, TVs, wifi, outdoor grill, vacuum etc, and kitchen appliances are updated (unlike rest of home which has not). Loved that the TVs had access to multiple streaming platforms, and accounts had already been created for adults and kids, so you don't have to use your own. House was clean - no sand under our feet on check-in! Brought my own sheets and towels so I didn't have to deal with owner's rule about washing/folding her stuff b4 checkout. The yard is not great, if you care about that (I don't). No beach chairs or beach cart as mentioned in listing. Bottom line: A good basic rental for the price, considering two families split the cost. We enjoyed our stay.

Great 3 bedroom minutes from beach
My family and I stayed at this house for a week in mid-August and had a wonderful experience. The location is great because it is walking distance to the beach and a very short drive to Rt. 28. The house was clean and comfortable with great sleeping arrangements.

Great Cape Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at this cute beach cottage. Very clean, A/C worked great, Great proximity to the Beach, restaurants and bars. If I can make any suggestions: Beds could be updated, it's a bit of a pain to have to have all laundry washed and folded by 10am check out. We ended up bringing our own linens. All in all, lovely stay and I would definitely stay there again!

Nice
The property itself was good. The biggest perk being the private beach. That being said, I found the house not cleaned well. Being in the middle of COVID 19, I thought the house would be cleaner. I felt that I should clean the place before the rest of the family arrived. After that we did have a problem but the owners took care of it rapidly and were very nice about it. The house was well equipped. The beds except the king size bed were uncomfortable. There is plenty of linen, but if using their linen you need to wash and dry it before you leave. That was not a problem, except the people before me never finished the laundry so I had to do it.

Convenient and lovely
We had a wonderful stay at the house! It was conveniently located - we could walk to the beach and some restaurants. It was also in very close driving distance to grocery stores, food stands, etc. The house is located in a friendly neighborhood that wasn’t too busy. The kids could ride their scooters in the street. The cute backyard patio was perfect for relaxing in the evening.

Great location!
We had a great time and the location of this house can't be beat. 3 minute walk to beach and quick walk to Joey's Pizza, bars, restaurants and ice cream. We also went kayaking on Bass River which was only a 5 minute drive. The house was clean and appliances were new and worked well. Since we drove, we packed our own sheets so minimized laundry on check-out day.

2019 Cape Tornado / Good Rental
Property was as advertised - a bit dated, but functional. Having 2nd full bath and outdoor shower was a major plus for our group. Short walk to the beach which was great for the mid-90's temperatures. Great location to explore other parts of the Cape. Unfortunately during our stay we experienced 2 tornado warnings. The first one was at night and we took shelter in the basement - which was thankfully clean, but hopefully no other renters would need to utilize that space for this reason! The second one we were not at the rental and upon return to the house there were multiple trees down in the yard (no damage to house) I immediately notified the property manager of the situation and she seemed disinterested and did express any concern for our well-being or inconvenience, which was highly disappointing. The weather we experienced was very rare and not likely to occur again, but my dealing with the property manager regarding the situation left a lot to be desired - reason for overall rating of 3 stars.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
Hello- It was an unfortunate event that there was a tornado at the time you were renting. I apologize if you misunderstood that I was not concerned. You did share the photos of the fallen tree & I responded it would be a few days before I can get it removed. I also sent you an update as to when the power would be back on when I contacted Eversource. I am unable to control the weather & once again apologize for that inconvenience.

Great House and Area
The property was very clear and the yard was well maintained and had a great patio. It is a little dated but for the price you can't beat it. The beaches are a very short walk down the street which was nice. The only downside is checkout at 10AM and having to do all the laundry. It would be nice to only have to put it in the dryer and leave but you have to stay and fold the sheets which is tough with 5 beds and before 10. We ended up not getting out till closer to 11.

checkout
I enjoyed my stay for the most part until checkout day.I did learn from the owner about cleaning the sheets before leaving and after i read that I wish I had canceled my reservation.Not only do you have to wash the sheets or you have to pay extra ,you also have to wash the towels or another extra fee and the bath matts.Checkout is at 10 which means you have to wake up by 6 to get it all done.I think the checkout should be later or they need to add a few dollars onto cleaning fee. The wash took us so long the owner let us finish after the 10 am checkout time which was so nice but the dryer took so long we went to a laundromat to finish drying.I'm not sure what the cleaning service has left to do after we do the laundry and take the trash out.What little time we spent in the house ( we were there for wedding ) we seem to have spent more time doing laundry and had to wake up so early to do it.That is my only complaint but it did teach me to look for those rules before booking another home away Robin
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
Hello- We appreciate your review & just wanted you to know our cleaning service requires the linens/towels to be washed prior to departure. When they aren't washed, we are charged the additional fee & would then have to charge you. This is a common practice when renting on the Cape. We hope you will consider renting with us again in the future. Enjoy your summer. Mariann & Ken Kastenhuber

Family getaway
The property was great, easy to get to, so much to do and see. This house accommodated my large family and gave us lots of room to spread out! The patio was a perfect place to relax! The out door shower was such a nice bonus! We were very pleased and would rent this home again if we came back!

Nice property in a great Cape location!
The house was the right size for my family! Everything was included and was well stocked. Even though we had a lot of cloudy days, the beach access allowed everyone beach time as well as fishing time! The location is great, as it is in the middle of areas with plenty to do. We went to Hyannis and to Provincetown for a day including whale watching. The immediate area has lots of restaurants and shopping as well, as bike rentals to ride around the area. The only criticism of the house I had was that the couch is well worn and offers little support when sitting or getting up! A few more lamps would be great as, the living room and bedrooms are dark for reading. I would definitely recommend this property to others!

Great quiet neighborhood and a very short walk to beautiful beaches!
The house was clean and very well equipped. Very quiet neighborhood, great for walking. There’s a quaint little cafe a few minutes walk that has great breakfast if you don’t want to cook. Even on a cold and damp weekend the beaches were still fun for shell hunting. Our grand sons favorite part of our mini vacation was the bath toys and thick comfy towels.

We loved this house!! We have rented properties at the Cape over the years, but this house was the best. You felt like you were at home. The back patio is a great place to grill and sit around with family/friends. You are able to walk to the beach and good number of restaurants in the area. We stayed here Memorial Day weekend and are going back for a week in August. We can't wait!!!

Excellent location and great for families!
The location is very good to enjoy Cape Cod. Families with kids will definitely like the property. The locality is great for families as well. Of course it seems there are other rental properties next to this property - we were unlucky on the day 1 when some people were making considerable noise till very late in the night. Anyway, that is always part of the game.

The best!
Great property. We were 6 adults and 2 children and we had plenty of space. Especially appreciated the central a/c since there was a heat wave, and washer/dryer. There were even 2 beach chairs for my toddler granddaughter! My grandson loved the wide selection of video and board games. This is the first property we've rented without a realtor and by far the best!
