Mid October on Minister Pond

Wonderful get away, great location right on the pond, quiet and peaceful. The Velvet Crab had everything we were looking for at the Cape. Sparkling clean and spacious with all the comforts of home with a cottage feel. We canoed, fished, relaxed near the water and had morning coffee on the deck. Thank you for hosting us.

Simply Lovely

This is a beautiful and cozy cottage to relax and rejuvenate in. Lovely decorations, comfortable furniture and an amazing super comfy bed! Made it hard to get up in the morning! The view from the bed of the water is so calm, peaceful and beautiful. We were welcomed with treats and made to feel very welcomed and pampered. The sunset!! The sunset, breathtaking. We enjoyed our stay and were able to catch our breaths after some challenging times in our lives. It was heavenly.

Wonderful place to stay

Everything about the house was perfect. Impeccably clean, views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom, complimentary coffee and cookies, treats. Touches like you find in a hotel like soap, shampoo, face mask, toothbrush. Minutes to the National Seashore by car. The host, Tara, communicated completely. She has written a guide about the house, good restaurants nearby and things to do. All in all, a terrific experience.

Great New Year’s Retreat on the Cape

We had a lovely weekend. The cottage was perfect for a couple or small family. The kitchen was well-stocked and the place had all amenities! We enjoyed canoeing on a warm day. Communication with Tara is excellent and appreciated, and she will go out of her way to ensure you have all necessary info and that all is well. The cottage is conveniently located to Orleans, P-town, the shore, and the Nauset Light is something else! We cannot wait to return. Five Stars!

Charming Cottage

Traveling around New England would not be complete without a visit to Cape Cod. Our party was looking for some down time during our 10 day trip of visiting the NE area. The Velvet Crab was the perfect place for us to relax. The property faces a tranquil pond and there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this view---- from the front window, front porch, chairs on the shore, beach fire pit, and a canoe. The inside of the cottage was clean with a well-supplied kitchen. Information regarding our stay was readily made available to us. Communication with the property manager was excellent and prompt. We highly recommend checking out this little gem of a place.

Lovely Cottage

I really love staying at the Velvet Crab. This was my third stay. Waking up to views of a nearby lake. Minutes from beaches. Dog friendly. The the Heart of Cape Cod team provides all the amenities- WiFi and Roku. Fully equipped kitchen. Kayak on the lake. Outdoor grill. Dog crate on request. Even dog bowls and treats. Tara brought a blender right over when I requested one. Everything you need for a wonderful vacation. My pup and I will definitely be coming back.

Velvet crab

We really enjoyed our stay at the velvet crab earlier this month. The cabin was perfect for us. Isolated enough where we had quiet but well situated at about a 5 minute drive to coast guard beach. The kitchen setup was perfect for us. We had cooked some light dinners (pasta,. burgers, and quesadillas) and the kitchen even had a pasta strainer something that I frequently find missing in rentals. The coffee was also provided. Beds were comfortable and the TV was as advertised and we were able.to.watch local channels or setup our Netflix account easily. The outdoor shower was also a hit and helped us keep.down the sand in the cabin. In summary, the house was designed for our family of 4.

great cape cod getaway

Our family of 4 had a great week staying at the Velvet Crab. The house provided all we needed for a great week of rest and relaxation. They don't skimp on anything, the beds were comfy, the linens and pillow were nice quality and the kitchen provided a little bit of everything. The Canoe and Kayak was a nice touch for my boys to keep busy. The outdoor shower is a must for our after beach day sand. I gave 5 stars because we were very happy but would add a couple minor things. I wish there were either more hooks to hang things for drying in the bathroom or outside. And since it was a dog friendly rental, the rug in the living room did have some reminisce of a previous dog (we didn't have a dog) not a big deal to us but just a minor detail. . Over all a great experience. We've rented from Heart of Cape Cod in the past and every time has been top notch and we will always look there first before other sites. Their houses are always well maintained and well thought out for a carefree Cape Cod Vacation. Thanks for a great week and stay!

Ideal spot for relaxation and coolness

We greatly enjoyed the beach at the pond, particuarly since there was a heat wave and the place was n a wooded area with a small private pond just feet away. The place was clean and well-equipped with a pleasant walk around neighborhood and easy access to route 6. Any time we reached out to Tara, we got a prompt response. Would definitely stay there again

Our stay was delightful. The place was clean, cozy, and the view of the pond was perfect! The amenities were spot-on too. The place is very close to great restaurants, bike trails, and short hiking trails (1-2 miles). The host, Tara, was exceptionally helpful and responded to all inquiries right away. Don’t miss out on this gem.

The cottage was lovely and had such special extra touches, and the view of the pond couldn't have been more beautiful. We'd love to return for another winter week (though any season would be wonderful). Tara was so thorough and so nice to work with. Perfect.
