This house was a beautiful house. Everything was so clean. It's a very spacious house and fit everyone very comfortably. The kitchen had everything you needed. We also grilled outside. It doesn't have cable so we had to go to a restaurant to watch the Celtics playoff game (which they won in the final second). There's a jacuzzi but it's not for guests to use. It was a perfect location for us because we had our boat at Barnstable Harbor and that's only minutes away. We would definitely stay here again.
Three families got together in this home for a little long weekend. The size of the house was perfect. Very large and enough space for all of us. Having two bathrooms was great too. Neighborhood was quiet and had plenty of parking. The outside patio was perfect for grilling. The basement was way too hot to sleep in, so that was a bummer- we stuck those kids on the couches upstairs. Out of the three bedrooms upstairs, only the master bedroom had an AC, so we had to leave the door open so the other two bedrooms could get some cool air as it was too hot for them to shut the doors. The house is a little dated, could use some upgrades- like the bedding. Plenty of kitchen supplies but only one roll of paper towels was there. Beware of the sprinklers. They go off every day at 9am. lol
The property is on a very quiet street and well equipped with cooking needs if you are tired of dine out and like to make a meal. Overall the property is fairly clean. The owner just lives next door and is super friendly. He shared a lot of tourism ideas. Just a couple minor suggestions: a new dining table cover and better bathroom hygiene products. The shampoo and conditioner are different brands and look old.
We arrived on Thursday in the evening. We realized there was no internet connection. On Friday I got the runaround with the management company. They did not answer my call and trying to text them was only frustrating. Why should we spend our vacation trying to get the WiFi working? We checked out on Monday and had to go outside each time we needed to use our phones for anything. We were promised a 25.00 per day rebate for the inconvenience but if you need a reliable internet connection, this was not the case for us. Otherwise the home was just as expected. We enjoyed our stay despite the inconvenience.
