Loved it!
We had a great stay here. It is only steps from the beach. It is updated and clean. We would stay here again. Thank you!

Magnificent week
My family of 3 (two adults & a 6 yr old) thoroughly enjoyed our week! The cottage was well-appointed with what we needed, and we were very comfortable. The location can’t be beat. Great spot for my family; thank you for everything!

Adorable beach front property
Adorable beach front property, great communication with owner, everything we needed for a great week was right at our fingertips including beautiful weather. Highly recommend Salty Lou's for lobster! Thank you for a great week.

Second stay even better
This was my second time staying in the cottage & I extended my stay to 2 weeks. Last summer after my stay, I had suggested just a few improvements & low and behold, many of them were actually done. That really speaks to how much the owners care about maintaining the property & want their guests to have a good experience. Details are what make a house a home. And to be sure, they have the details down (the welcome binder really spoke to my OCD tendencies). As someone who has been in a number of different rentals over the years, I’ve noticed that sometimes you have to chose between location & quality (if you don’t want to pay 10-15k). You get both in this bright & cheerful cottage.

Decent rental in great location
This cottage is nice enough, and only one house from the private East Sandwich beach. It was clean and had the basics that are needed for a great beach vacation. A few things I wish we had known. The “air conditioning” is three window units, only two of which can be run at a time or the fuse blows. That was annoying when the fuse blew twenty minutes after we arrived. But the owner was responsive and called back in fifteen minutes with instructions on only using two of the three units and where to find the fuse box. It was tough deciding which bedroom wouldn’t get air during the day so the living room could cool down. And the kitchen never received air so it was always stuffy there. The second issue we had is that this house isn’t outfitted as well as other houses we’ve rented. Things like cereal bowls and pots and pans were lacking. We found only one pot to cook in (the cabinet was full of odds and ends like tiny pots and huge colanders that all looked like cast offs from someone’s house). And there were so many cabinets and shelves blocked off for the owners things that we were constantly rearranging our stuff to make it work. The furniture was old and stained and didn’t really fit in the living room, but it was comfy! The beds were comfortable too and there was always enough hot water. We enjoyed the screened porch and gas grill. All in all this was a fine rental and we were glad it was available on short notice in the summer.

Location is everything
There are so many things to LOVE about this special property (feels like a cottage or camp versus a beach house). First and foremost - It is literally only about 25 steps out the door to the beach. How awesome is that? The beach, as others have mentioned, is rocky so beach shoes are a must. I liked that the beach felt safe. People who come daily just leave their stuff - chairs & things overnight & nothing is disturbed. The vibe is friendly & super low key. I really liked that beach! The house is pretty close to other houses, so there wasn’t as much privacy as I typically prefer (especially while using the out door shower which isn’t enclosed) but strangely the layout didn’t matter as much as I thought it might. The house is small but the space is extremely well utilized & it had all the essentials. The furniture is super comfortable; bath & beach towels & linens were provided (soft & good quality); updated appliances; super clean & bright; cheerful colors & decorations; excellent WiFi; lots of TV channels; quality beach chairs. A special shout out to the owner who couldn’t have been more responsive, helpful, and friendly. She makes you feel like you’re her favorite tenant (even when you reach out with minor issues or questions that could feel like a bother to some). A final word about the size of the house..honestly I can’t see how a family of 3 or 4 would fit in the house. I think it would be best for singles or couples. Be aware- the shower is a tight squeeze; it might be an issue for a larger person. I found that I was bumping into things when I first got there before I adjusted to the space. I would really like to return next summer for an extended trip, so I came up with a wish list of improvements that would make it even more wonderful (especially for someone who might want to stay for a few weeks & work). It would make a huge difference if they switched out the window A/C units for those split units. The A/C was super loud, so I had to get earplugs in order to sleep (I’m pretty sensitive to noise). Along those same lines, I might take out the daybed in the second bedroom and replace it with a desk & chair. (More & more people are working when they travel). I might also add a Keurig; a few power strips, wall clocks; some additional shelves in the bathroom; a full length mirror; a cabinet with weather emergency supplies (lantern, flash light) & instructions. Overall, my stay was delightful.

Relaxing and cute!
My family stayed for a week. The house was spotless up on arrival, one of the cleanest houses we have stayed in! It was the perfect size for our family, the location was wonderful and the neighbors renting were so kind. We had everything we needed. One downside was the family staying in the big house kept throwing their dog poop all around the garbage can, which was not pleasant to navigate around when taking out the garbage and yucky to look at. We have a dog at home so I think a simple reminder to throw into the can and not AT the trash would be nice. Another downside, the septic was pumped unexpectedly while we were there and it was pretty smelly while that was happening. I would have appreciated more than a morning of notice that this was happening. If we weren't there then the house would have had to be accessed without us being there and possibly knowing. Again, come from a background with septic in a house so unless this was an emergency, I feel communication could have been better. Overall, great experience and have already recommended this listing! We would stay again because the 2 issues were overall minor.

Wonderful Property
The property was exactly as listed. It is a lovely cottage that made us feel right at home. The rental also came with everything needed; towels (beach and bath), sheets, access to washer and dryer, beach chairs, etc. These amenities were definitely a plus! Great communication with the host. We would love to stay here again!

Perfect beach cottage
The cottage is small, but was perfect for our family of four...the photos don't do it justice. We lucked out with perfect weather and spent most of our time at the beach - 50 steps from our front door. Beach chairs, towels, pails and everything else we needed was provided. Would definitely come back.

Beach getaway
We had a wonderful week here. Pulling onto the road, you immediately get vacation feels with beautiful homes and beach atmosphere. The house was small but very well planned out and we felt as if we had plenty of space. Beach was steps away and only complaint was how rocky it is. However if you have water shoes it’s fine. Also, if you plan your day around being in the water at low tide it’s beautiful and feels so clean/smooth. Because it’s a private beach, you can leave all your chairs/etc there. We had fires each night (stopped to put $5 in a jar and take a pile) and it was a really nice friendly environment without being crowded. Host responded right away to everything and even had trustworthy babysitters available for our kids. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect location
The only issue I had was with the Lock Box. I found the directions to open it were not very clear and not easy to access the keys. Both upon arrival and departure I needed assistance. It’s possible my difficulty was I had never used one before. Other than that the house was everything that was advertised. It was a perfect location and size for the 2 of us.

Perfect location
We had a lovely experience at this property! My family and I were very happy with the cottage. The location is steps from the beach, which is ideal with small children. The owners were very responsive when we had questions and needs. This is a quiet family neighborhood, and the neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely come back again!

Was everything we needed ..
If I had to write a negative we missed having a deck to sit on . Picnic table in parking area out in the blazing sun Umbrella wasn’t much help . The front porch screened in was to hot to sit in . But overall we enjoyed ourselves . The AC was a godsend

Cute cottage close to the beach
My family enjoyed our stay in this beach cottage and would definitely stay here again. The host was responsive to any messages. The cottage is cute and cozy and had everything we needed. We cooked every day and had most utensils we needed, anything we thought we might need we bought with us. There is a bbq which we used everyday and a picnic table. There are lots of activities to do on the Cape. We rode our bikes everyday on the Cape Cod bike trails which are extensive. The beach is long and has pebbles, you will need water shoes to walk over the pebbles into the water. Low tide exposes sand banks which provides more sandy beach to play on. You can get a permit for a bonfire on the beach in the evening. Supermarket, mini golf and ice cream shops were close by.

Enjoyed a getaway at the beach
Brought my young family of four to the cottage and we had a great time. An easy walk back and forth to the beach, we were able to use the bathroom and have lunch at the cottage. We brought water shoes for the rocky beach, and watched the amazing sandbar appear at low tide. The kids enjoyed searching for cool rocks, catching hermit crabs, and playing in the water. We also rode the nearby bike path along the Cape Cod canal. The house had everything we needed for a week at the beach.

We loved the location. House was a bit small for 5 adults. Property was clean and neat although a photo featured picnic table was not present . We did experience some windows on porch and roof leaking during a last morning rainstorm. We left a note for owner so this can be addressed

Had a wonderful stay
Pretty much as close to the beach as you can get. Was great to let our 8 and 10 year old head back and forth to the house without worrying about a road or getting lost! The house is a good size and it has a handy front room area, where we could watch TV while the kids slept. It's a well kitted out home with a few luxuries you don't always get in rentals, like a dishwasher and laundry, that certainly made life a bit easier. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful family stay in Cape Cod!
I stayed here with my husband and 3 small children 3,6,7 for 10 days. We loved it! The beach is rocky, but at low tide there is a wonderful expanse of sandy beach that just opens up. We found a bunch of shells and loads of crabs and other things. Wonderful bonfires on the beach every night. The cottage was small, but very charming and clean and we felt comfortable. All 3 kids slept comfortably in the second bedroom. Amenities like a dishwasher and washer/dryer go a long way. For those with young children, keep in mind that there is a shower but not a bathtub. If a remodel is ever in the works that would be a great addition. Might also be good to have a wall-mounted flat screen in the master bedroom. Would definitely come again!

Beautiful Place - Great Location
Overall the house is a perfect little spot at a great location (steps from beach). Beautiful beach and great for kids especially at low tide. Sunsets were amazing and the beach bond fires were great for the kids to make smores. The house was very clean and had everything we were looking for in a rental (ac, washer/dryer,wifi/outdoor shower/wood floors-no carpet). A perfect place for a family of two or three. The double bed is a little tight and the loft area would require air condition if someone wanted to sleep up there. I would highly recommend this place to others.

ADORABLE, HAPPY, CLEAN...
I stayed here with my husband and daughters at the end of the summer and enjoyed every minute! Although the cottage is smallish (as expected) it feels bigger than it is because of high ceilings, lots of light and the happy, colorful decor. Since the cottage is situated on the dunes of the beach, it took only a minute to get to the water for a swim and there were often lovely ocean breezes at night. Air conditioning functioned well and the kitchen was a pleasure to work in. I loved sitting on the porch in the mornings watching the world go by. We would be happy to stay again in future and highly recommend!

A lovely stay
This is an adorable little cottage that truly is just steps away from an amazingly wonderful beach. Clean, and well appointed, it was perfect for our family and gave us everything we needed for a week away from it all. There are a few updates that the house could have, but they in no way effected our stay and we felt just added character to the home. The beach is amazing, quite and perfect. It is only a short walk (away past one other house), but you don't have to cross any streets to get to the beach. It was so close we were comfortable allowing our older children to go to the beach ahead of us, and we were not worried about their safety. We felt that this cottage allowed us the full experience of Cape Cod and can only hope to be able to return for another stay in the future. Please note that the owner was very prompt in answering any questions or inquiries, which was extremely helpful and decreased any anxieties in our stay. (We did not find this with other properties that we inquried about). Some notes that might be helpful if you have never visited the area: *Bring water shoes as there are some rocks on the beach during differnt tide levels. These shoes will make your beach stay much more enjoyable. *The best grocery store is the Stop - n - Shop in Sandwich, and has many more food options than the one in East Sandwich. *You can buy fresh lobster right down the road on 6 from Salty Lou's- they have wonderful prices and are exceptionally friendly !! Thank you for the opportunity to stay !!!!
