Perfect….perfect…..perfect !

The cottage was lovely and central to the beach, the location is great, but unfortunately we booked it on the premise that it was walkable to local restaurants and bars, unfortunately we were not informed that all of theses facilities were closed during the dates we booked.

Maushop by the Sea is a charming little place located off the beaten path and near the water. The comfortable bed with plenty of pillows and nice linens was delightful after a full day exploring on the Cape.The nearby beach looked lovely, but by early November, access had been removed within the complex. The small galley kitchen featured a microwave, stove, oven and toaster oven for meal preparation. However, there were no potholders for handling hot items, no plastic wrap to protect the inside of the microwave from splatters and no oven-safe bakeware or baking sheet that is needed to heat prepared foods.Other kitchen items that would have been helpful include trivets, cutting boards, extra kitchen towels, scissors, pen/pencil and paper.The luggage rack was much appreciated, especially as clear surfaces for placing travel items was limited to the small bedside tables and the portion of the dresser not taken up my the TV in the bedroom.The body soap, shampoo and conditioner supplied in the shower were top-notch and the towels were high-quality. The addition of shelves would greatly improve the bathroom for guests who prefer not to put their toothbrush and other necessary toiletry items on the top of the toilet tank (yuck!) or precarious edge of the sink. A box of Kleenex would be nice, too.Lighting by lamps throughout was soft and low. The burned out overhead light in the sunroom rendered the dining table unusable at night.Overall, a very nice stay.

The location is hard to beat but the beds and bedding were terribly uncomfortable. So much so I went to Homegoods to buy sheets and pillows to get thru. It’s apparent that things have not been updated there in a very long time.
