Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay here! We were traveling with our 6 year old daughter and our two senior dogs. We all loved the closed in patio area and ate most of our meals on the table outside. The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is located in a nice neighborhood which we enjoyed for taking walks. Super short walk to Parker river beach and roughly 1/2 mile to another. The home is perfectly clean and comfortable.

Nice little cottage

The location was great. I loved the gated patio. The cottage had a few weird things with accessing lights but overall as a single person traveling with my dog it met my needs.The TV was annoying as when I tried to find shows it kept a constant array of verbally telling what was going on. I can blame this on my ineptness of using a controller, It was good in many ways, hot water for a shower, good location, (in busy season would have been kind of crazy) I did feel safe there and was able to go and do all the things I planned.

Lynn was a fabulous host. The location couldn’t be more perfect. My standards are quite high for cleanliness and it wasn’t sparkling but it was comfortable. Everything you need for the beach is there. The outdoor shower cinderblock could use a good pressure wash so bring shower shoes. The beds were comfy but be aware if you need to use all of the bed space for the bunks. We have 3 children under 5 so my husband ended up in the top bunk and it was really dangerous when the ceiling fan was on. Luckily my husband is very cautious but mentioned many times if a child had to get up in the middle of the night and did not realize there was a ceiling fan so close, it could be incredibly dangerous. That is the only feedback I have about this place. The bunk has a full on the bottom so there is plenty of shareable space in this cottage. Lynn was incredibly accommodating and kind and we made some fantastic memories here!

The cottage was quaint, and a great stepping off point for activities throughout the Cape. We could walk to the beach from the cottage, which was great for morning and after dinner strolls as well beach time during the day. Highly recommend!

Was a good fit for our needs.

Location is on a main road but walking distance to a private beach which was perfect for us traveling for the first time with a 1 year old baby. This allowed us to just bring what we needed down to the beach for an hour or two each day without having to load everything into a car, drive somewhere and pay for parking for such short windows of time as babies can't nap well on a beach. The house has our basic needs covered but wasn't as clean as I would have liked. The outdoor shower was awesome and we used the washer and dryer daily which helped a ton! The kitchen supplies are well used and some things are very scratched or broken. The bed was awful and I had extreme back pain the whole week because of it however we were able to put a pack n play in the 2nd bedroom for our daughter which gave us a little space at night to watch tv or eat and drink in the living room. The house is 15-20 mins from Hyannis and took us 40 mins to get to Chatham but we visited some local breweries as well and the location in general was great. I would stay here again and would recommend it but I know looking for a pet friendly place really limits our options and I'm sure its hard to keep pristine with dogs coming and going. Our dog has hair and doesn't shed but she liked the house a lot I think!

Perfect Cozy Cottage

This is a very nice clean cottage that is well taken care of. I stayed here by myself for a week but had two friends down overnight. It was perfect. Smaller, but not too small. It is nicer than the pictures reflect. The main room is good sized and has a new kitchen and old fashioned knotty pine panelling - which I love. It is less than a 3 minute walk to the beach. I already reserved it again for next summer.

Nice cottage in the perfect location!

Visited with my husband, 3 year old, and two dogs. The location can't be beat. Turn to the left and your 1 house down from the beach, turn to the right and your 3 houses down from a larger beach and small playground which my 3 year old couldn't get enough of. Between that and dog walks, I must have walked up and down that road 50 times over our 5 night stay! The cottage is small, but it is clean and has everything you need. The kitchen and bathroom are nicely updated, which the listing pictures don't really reflect, so that was a nice surprise. There is also beach chairs and childrens toys on the patio. It's the perfect beachside home for a couple or small family.
