    Perfect setup for a small family beach vacation. The walk to beautiful Harding’s Beach was even shorter than anticipated - and several bikes were available to make it even shorter. Beach accessories all provided and in good working condition. As for the house - new kitchen appliances were great, beds were comfortable, air conditioning in both rooms - and the deck was a great place to spend time in morning and evening. Best of all, Dave was a fantastic host - kind, generous, very communicative. Would come back in a heartbeat!

    We had a wonderful time staying here! The living room/dining area is wonderful with a lot of light, and we spent a lot of time on the back deck. It is walkable to the bay, and was perfect for our needs!

    My friends and I enjoyed our stay so much! Clean, comfortable, excellent location far enough out of town to be away from the crowds but close enough that it was super easy to get to. Love that it was such a quick bike ride to a quiet, beautiful beach as well.

    We had a great stay and experience. The host was super helpful with all my questions, answering promptly and thoroughly. The cottage had everything we needed, and then some, like a basement with a pool/ping pong table. It was very quiet, which i appreciated since I'm a light sleeper. The beach is a short walk, though we preferred the Lighthouse Beach a few miles away, and the ocean beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, which is about a 25 minute drive.
