    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is in a quiet marshland which has expanded since the Herring River tidal restoration project. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that we had stayed in the cottage next door a decade ago. This area is replete with history of the writers and artists who also serenity and each other's companionship. I would return, if it were possible for my husband to negotiate the sloping terrain and staircases up to and inside the cottage.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is lovely and we'll definitely be coming back next year. Not only is it aptly named (quiet & private), but you're immersed in nature here with beautiful sunrises,lots of wildlife, and, to my surprise, sweet, clean air drifting in the windows all day and night... I had expected a boggy smell given the surroundings. I had also expected lots of mosquitos, but only got one bite the entire week. The house is really charming with clean and comfortable furniture (that king bed was so comfy!) and everything you'd need for a week's stay. Can't wait to go back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Repeat renter here. The setting never disappoints. A quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of space and privacy to enjoy being outdoors. A short walk to an amazing bay beach, perfect for long walks, swimming, sunbathing, and sunset viewing. I feel close to nature here. The house is comfortable and the rental agency is very responsive. Just a short drive to Provincetown. Payomet performance center is close by. The mosquitos were not too bad this year. The salt marsh is in effect!

    We loved everything about this house! The road down to the house was not as bad as some reviews made it seem, though an SUV will do better than a sedan. The property has beautiful views of the marsh/ocean and is very private and secluded; there is another house on the property but you would never know it if you didn't go looking for it. Though the house is not large, the high ceilings made it feel very open and comfortable. It had all of the amenities we needed (aside from an A/C but they provide tons of fans to make it comfortable). Our only issue was with the check-in process. There are two houses at this address but no signage on the property differentiating the two houses, and the check-in codes are the same, so we ended up in the wrong house at first! Luckily this was quickly resolved and everything was perfect after that. My only suggestion would be to provide very specific directions/instructions to guests so they don't make the same mistake we did! We will definitely be back!

    Comfortable, well equipped house in a great location if you want to get away from it all. It’s a slow bumpy ride down to the very end of a long dirt road. My husband loved it; my friend staying in P-town said there was no way she could stay so far away from civilization. The patio comes with a view, grill, fire pit and its own bathroom (!), and the sunroom looking out at the marsh is also great for hanging out. It’s a 10 min walk to an equally quiet part of the bay beach. The furnishings are nothing to get excited about but there’s a comfortable bed and pretty much everything you could want for cooking. Good for a couple or family as both upstairs rooms are open lofts.
