    Spotless! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Shower/tubs need handrails for us older folks to stay safe. Same thing for entryway; the distance between steps was really high.

    This location left little to be desired - quiet, clean, private, plenty of room, and a stone’s throw from the beach. Had a problem with one of the toilets, plumber out that afternoon, plenty of extra blankets and towels, plenty of parking, and plenty of fans throughout the house. The deck and grill were nice features. The windows appear to all be new and are easy to open. The management was very prompt and responsive. On the minus side - the outside signage is poor and the house is difficult to locate. The lockbox is tricky. The TV was tiny (maybe 35”) with outdated tech, WiFi was problematic, not enough seating in the living room, queen mattress super uncomfortable with an unsecured headboard that hit into the wall every time you moved, fridge ran almost non-stop, not enough serving bowls and no sharp knives (sharpener worthless) in the kitchen. The furnishings are in sore need of updating and the window shades need replacing. There are no exhaust fans in the bathrooms. The pros outweigh the cons and we would absolutely stay here again.

    Rustic cottage that was clean, terrifically located and walking distance of a beautiful beach on the Bay Side. It was not air conditioned but fans in every room worked fine even on a very hot weekend.

    Thank you for a very nice cape cod experience. The house clean and close to the beach the furniture has a 70s charm much like many cape summer homes ive visited. Kitchen was well furnished with pots, pan, and dishes. Definitely a repeat visit my next visit thank you again.

    This quaint cape cod house sits in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the beach. Very clean and spacious. We did visit during the week of NE's hottest in June. We did have an abundance of fans in all rooms but no A/C. As of note, this is a older furnished home and may not be of some people's liking. We felt it was very nostalgic and indicative of the cape. Enjoyed the deck in the evenings, cooking out and just enjoying a cocktail In the private setting. Thank you for a great experience.

    The home was within walking distance to Dennis Beach. It was perfect for our family of four, with two little ones. We didn't have to worry about beach parking and could easily run back to the house when we needed something. Being this close to the beach and at such a reasonable price was a steal! We will be returning next year!

    The place was a blast from the past. Absolutely loved it! The host was amazing. We messaged them about no propane for the gas grill. And within a few hours they had dropped off propane! Loved how secluded the backyard felt.

    Quick weekend trip with little kids. Everything we needed. Walk to the beach, clean comfortable beds, nice bathrooms and great outdoor shower. The deck is a nice spot to sit and relax once the kids have gone to sleep, without waking them. Would definitely recommend.
