Cozy, compact, informal, and rustic -- experience the best of Olde Cape Cod, steps away from the private beach on Nantucket Sound. Grandma's Cottage is cute, made for outdoor living. Fully equipped -- includTheing gas grill, beach chairs, beach cart and cooler! In famous Chase's Ocean Grove cottage colony, where the residents are friendly and knowledgeable about all that makes a Cape Cod vacation great. Walk to the high-end Pelham House with its fabulous menu and view, beach-side firepits and bar; ice cream spots, kids' activities, and more than one great breakfast spot -- if you ever leave the beach! Dogs and cats welcome. Our happiest guests report that the cottage works best for no more than 4 adults.
We recently stayed there for a week on the shoulder season this fall. First few days were cold and rainy, but putting a kettle on kept the place comfortable and warm. Even provided extra blankets for cold nights. We had everything we needed right there and sat outside on sunny days and even got in a beach day when the weather got into the 70's later in the week. Central to the Cape and steps away from the ocean, made for a lasting memory for us and our puppy!
I have used vrbo.com several times except this time I had problems with the pictures of the cottage they were deceiving, looked larger than it was. Our party consisted of 4 adults, my husband and I, my friend and handicapped son. My son was unable to use the buck beds because he was unable to climb and the couch was a love seat that did not open for a bed, so he slept with me. There was not enough room for 4 suit cases of clothes, no dresser’s. We were going to cook several meals and use the grill which was filthy. The refrigerator was of good size. I could not fathomed 6 adults sleeping and using this cottage especially if everyone had to stay inside due to increment weather. Our group stayed one night and paid for seven. We were able to find another cottage larger and near the beach and a lot less expensive. I was very disappointed with this cottage.
Pros: The communication with the owners was great; they responded to any inquiries in a timely and friendly manner. The cottage and surrounding community of cottages was super cute, like stepping back in time to the Cape of a previous era. All the neighbors and other renters were friendly and took the time to stop and chat when we walked by. The private beach was literally only about a 2 minute walk. We really appreciated that they allowed our dog to stay too. We were greeted upon check-in with a handwritten card welcoming us, which was a sweet personal touch. Cons: The cottage does not have a shower in the bathroom; it only has an outdoor shower, surrounded by a fence. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, apparently due to a town ordinance (so not the owners’ fault). No air conditioning, although there was a ceiling fan and portable fan provided. The bedrooms do not have doors, just heavy curtains separating them from the main living area, The cottage was pretty dusty, seeming like it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned between renters. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and didn’t mind roughing it for a few nights. The friendliness of the owners, nice community, and proximity to the beach made up for any of the cons.
We had a great week at the cottage. The location was great (a minute to the beach and close to restaurants etc...) and the cottage had numerous items for the beach (chairs, beach towels, cart). There is a nice deck but the yard could use some sprucing up as it was slightly overgrown with weeds. Most suitable for familes with younger kids as the top bunks are small. Also there is no AC (but several fans are provided) and the shower is outside.
We loved Grandmas cottage!
The cosiest, most comfortable beds! Was perfect, unique and great proximity to the beach.
This was a quaint cabin only steps from the beach. The amities were great and so was the communication with the owners. One of our days we had rain and they thought to send us rainy day activities. We had so much fun. I would recommend this cottage to any of my friends and the support of the owners was amazing.
