Great condo with historic Cape charm. We loved the charm of this home. The outdoor shower was so much fun and perfect after a day at the beach. The fresh cut flowers on the dining table was a sweet touch. It was perfect for our family of 3. Quiet neighborhood, fun walk to a small beach, perfect patio for breakfast. Rick was great at making sure we had what we needed and very responsive to questions. Our daughter said upon leaving that she would miss this sweet little house.
Everything was fine. However, most of the contents of the property were vary dated
This was a very cute house and would recommend it . Awesome neighborhood and It’s so close to Forest Beach. We enjoyed walking there in the morning and evenings. Richard was awesome and helped make our stay easier through our time without power from the tornado!
I think it was OK. Just a short walk to the beach. I have 4 kids so it was a bit small for us. We really needed a table that we could all eat at - there were a couple small pull out tables with fold down leaves but there wasn't enough room to open them up. I would also recommend more plastic bowls for snacks and plastic cups. I think this is a great spot for 4 people.
This cottage was perfect for our family of four. A queen bed in the master would’ve fit the frame of my husband and me better(we are both 6’ tall), but everything else was perfect! We enjoyed walking to Pleasant beach with our two young boys (ages 3 and 4), grilling in the backyard, and using the outdoor shower after a long day at the beach. Pleasant beach was perfect for the little guys. Also it was a quick drive to nearby bigger beaches, like Nauset and Coast Guard beach. It’s a super quick drive into Chatham as well. We felt close to everything we needed! The cottage was clean and charming. Stocked with enough dishes to cook if you wanted. Lots of beach toys and towels. I highly recommend this place for its location. Rick was very welcoming, helpful, and easy to get in touch with.
We loved our stay at this cottage. The cottage had everything we needed for a fun week at the beach including bikes , sand toys, boogie boards. We were 2 adults and 3 kids altogether and had plenty of space. The Central a/c was also a major plus. So comfortable at night and during the day when you need to get out of the heat! The beach was a 2 minute walk away. I definitely recommend this comfy cottage and would come back again in the future. It was perfect. Thanks Rick!!
We had a wonderful time at the Butler cottage near Forest Sands Beach. The house was exactly as described, and Rick, the owner, was wonderful. He was there to greet us when we arrived and made himself available to address any questions or issues throughout our stay. The location was perfect, just a short 3 minute walk to a nice quiet beach and within a short drive or bike ride to excellent shopping and eating establishments. We enjoyed easy access to the Rail Trail, with miles of paved bike trails. We explored much of the cape during our stay, all the way to Provincetown, and would definitely return to this spot! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
I stayed with my wife and three sons for one week and it was an amazing vacation. We loved the short walk to Forest Beach, the fire pit and patio, outdoor shower, wi-fi, and the quaint Cape house feel of this awesome home. We will be back!
We had a lovely stay and were reminded of our childhood family holidays. We had everything we needed (comfy beds, kitchen stuff, back yard, close beach, etc). The kids were fascinated with all the old stuff in the house that they have never seen before. It was like going back in time. Very sweet!
This is the first house I've stayed in (out of 7 in Chatham through the years) that had a good collection of literature. You don't find Dostoevsky, Hemingway and Thoreau on a rental house bookshelf very often. We enjoyed the fact that the owner was very friendly and accessible during the booking process. We also appreciated the fact that linens were provided and the house has a central air unit. The house is in a great location and is obviously tended to with care. Every detail was correct and just as described in the VRBO listing. The interior of the house is classic and interesting in all particulars, and the back yard provides good privacy. If you rent this house, you won't regret it.
