Lovely stay
This rental was the perfect spot for us. The way this house is laid out makes it feel cozy yet spacious. Inviting kitchen and dining area. I short drive/walk to the most beautiful beach area in Barnstable.

Great early winter escape
Clean quiet and well-equipped home located within short drive to lovely beach and walking trails. Restaurants, grocery and shopping less than 10 minutes away. Enjoyed company of our two Portuguese water dogs who settled in quickly and loved daily walks on the beach.

Hidden Getaway
The house was very nice and in a good location but provided privacy. Our only issue was the dust/cob webs in certain areas and dog fur on the comforter.

Beach Walks Post Hurricane!
This well-appointed, lovely property is within walking distance to the exquisite Sandy Neck Beach—wonderful to experience even when the last dregs of a hurricane blow through! Our only bumpiness was that the access code number didn't work—but Customer Service quickly supplied one that did.

So cute!
It was perfect for our needs. Such a cute little house. Very homey, while being simple. The beds were good. The kitchen was sufficient for us and my kids enjoyed the yard (and watching the local turkeys). Sandy Neck Beach was a couple minute drive. Perfect location! It’s been added to our favorites and we will stay here again if we come east again.

Nice escape for the weekend
Overall, this was a great home and perfect for what we were looking for (a quiet weekend away during the offseason). The home was clean and well equipped. Internet and streaming services worked great. Only had 3 minor complaints: 1) the keypad to access the house didn’t work. This was rectified after 10 minutes of frustration by calling guest services and locating a spare key to bypass the keypad. 2) The house was cold. It was 45 degrees outside and the heat was all off or set at 50. House was chilly but warmed up when we turned up/on all the thermostats. 3) There was no welcome manual or guide. We had to figure out how to turn on the heat, access the appliances, and locate all the amenities. We managed, but a manual/guide would have been nice. All of these inconveniences were relatively minor and the home served our needs quite well.

Dale, thank you for sharing your experience, we’re glad that our home was a perfect fit for your getaway! It’s good to know that you found it to be clean and well-appointed and that the Internet worked well. That said, we apologize for the issues with the keypad and our local manager assured us that this issue has been resolved. Additionally, they added a QR code so that guests can scan it and see the instructions on how to use the thermostat. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we hope to host you again soon.

Beautiful home
Home is beautiful, comfortable and very inviting 😊 loved the smart TV and kitchen was well equipped to make a family dinner. Loved the fire fit and outside grill. Tree swing was very charming. Walk to beach was very convenient. The one minor issue was outdoor patio table was not clean so we ate inside and there were ants in the kitchen. We found garbage pail full when we arrived. But overall great stay and would absolutely come back 😊

Cute house good location
Great location, close to the beach. Great house as well. Only issue is both of the propane tanks for the grill were completely empty which was a huge nuisance. Otherwise good, clean and would recommend

Private but Poorly Managed
On the day we arrived, it was extremely hot outside. We had gotten to town a little early so I called Vacasa (who owns the place) to see if we could check in a bit early. They tried to contact the local property manager to see if the house was ready, but had to leave a message when that person did not answer. They assured me the local property manager would reach out to me within half an hour, but we never heard from them so we just drove around until 4:00. The property was super secluded and fairly clean, which was great. The description neglects to mention that there was not an A/C unit in all of the bedrooms, which would have been nice to know. Additionally, they did not put the A/C on before we arrived, so it was sweltering and took a long time to cool down. Overall, a decent stay, but between the poor communication and the lack of pre-planning with the air conditioning, we would not stay here again.
