I stayed here recently with my husband, four kids, and our dog. The positives: the main living spaces were clean, it was nice and bright, good hot water pressure in the shower, slept a lot of people with 5 beds upstairs and a queen downstairs, close proximity to restaurants and activities, nice walkable neighborhood with a park at the end of the street (dogs NOT allowed in the park).
The not-so-positives: one of my kids' beds had sand in it that my husband had to wipe off before we could finally sleep after a very long drive, two bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom downstairs meant the kids were very far from ear shot (my mistake for not checking on the layout beforehand), the beds had the bare bones amount of pillows and thin bedding, not a spare throw to be found for our chilly October nights, the baby gate provided was very old and the handle broke off as my husband put it in place, the kitchen cabinets were peeling and pans were scratched, no water to drink since the tap was unfiltered and there was no refrigerator dispenser, no usable ice (ice trays were filled with sink water), no toaster, only a toaster oven, we cooked bacon and it set off the smoke alarm, if you plan to cook you'll need to bring every single ingredient with you including spices, only one spare garbage bag provided so we had to buy our own, no hangers in any of the closets, ceiling fan in the living room was missing a blade, living room lamps (the only light in the evenings) both had awful cool toned LED bulbs, overall most appliances and fixtures were outdated and floors all scratched from pets.

I travel for work and book stays where I can bring my dog. This stay was just fine. Nothing really special or memorable, this is definitely a bare bones rental. Don’t expect any condiments in the fridge, spices or pantry items. This is a full DIY. The house was comfortable and functional. I never had any issues with things like heat or hot water. It was clean, though it gave me the impression that it was cleaned after the last tenant leaves, not before the next arrives. The location was great, the park down the street is a big plus for dog owners. It seems like some old issues have been addressed - plenty of pots, pans, and cookware. However, there were some big issues that need to be addressed. The mattress downstairs is awful, truly unsleepable. I opted for the couch and a shared room upstairs to avoid it. It needs to be replaced. Also, I think it’s misleading to say the house has television. It has *a* television, with no streaming services or capability of letting you log into your own streaming accounts (Netflix was eternally unable to connect to the network) and the cable options were news, weather, court tv, and one channel playing crime dramas. So yes, there’s a TV, but you’ll need to BYO streaming device or dvd player. Last, I got a late check out for 2p. My code to the door expired before my check out. Luckily the house keeping staff was on site and let me in or else I wouldn’t have been able to access my things and dog to leave.
Smaller issues/inconveniences are that there aren’t really extra blankets/towels/linens, you pretty much get what you get. No comfortable seating on the back porch, plastic table and chairs. The miniatures in the bathroom are fine…but really wouldn’t last of you had more than one or two people in a pinch. Last, you have to constantly log back into the wifi through a portal. Not a huge deal, but annoying enough when you’re working from the home. I logged in 3-4 times every day.
Overall, the house was fine. I felt safe, dry, and warm, and the on demand virtual helper was nice, if relatively ineffective for the issues this house has. Personally, I’m unlikely to book again. I prefer somewhere homier with more conveniences. As others have echoed, this house could be really sweet, but lacks all the homey features that make home shares comfortable.

The house was very nice. I saw some reviews that said it was dirty and to bring pots and pans…. But the house was very clean maybe older and some of it dated, but I found this charming. The pots and pans were very clean and newer. Nice comfortable furniture. The queen bed was like a rock but some ppl like that. Clean white sheets which is all I really require, haha. Had soaps and towels and all the amenities we needed. Good location , nice neighborhood. Very happy, would definitely come back. Thanks for an affordable wonderful stay on the cape!

The house is in a good location that provides an easy drive to both beaches on the ocean side and on the Bay side. Chatham was also an easy drive for a stroll in that quaint town.

We absolutely loved the location, and the roomy house. It was close to beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Our dog loved the place too; having a deck and back yard really was awesome.
Our only suggestion is to have local menus handy for quick decision making, and the WiFi information written down somewhere.

The house was spacious. Plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 kids, and one dog. There wasn't anything that we needed and didn't have. Everything we planned on doing or seeing was about 10-15 minutes away.
We were glad to find air conditioning in every bedroom as well as in the living room/ dining room area because it was quite hot, muggy, and rained quite a bit during our stay. The acs worked well and we only needed to run one downstairs and one upstairs. Spacious bathrooms. It was very convenient to have access to washer and dryer, located in the first floor bathroom. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, utensils, even plastic wrap, and many other little necessities were there to use.
The only negative I can think of is that the floors and living room rug were quite dirty, covered in sand. We didn't notice at first but after removing our shoes it was definitely noticeable. You could feel sand everywhere you walked and the bottoms of socks and bare feet quite quickly became filthy. I saw there was a vacuum so attempted to use it. Not a big deal to me, I'm not too fancy to run a vacuum on vacation. But, the vacuum gave off a terrible odor so I quickly shut it off and put it right back where I found it! We ended thoroughly sweeping both levels and shaking out small rugs near the door to get rid of sand that would otherwise have been tracked back in. I also made use of the two mops located next to the washer and dryer. So we took care of that, no biggie! I'm only mentioning it because maybe the cleaning service could be made aware and double check the floors in the future before guest arrival.
Other than that, we would absolutely recommend to others and would definitely stay again ourselves.

All in all the cottage was exactly as stated. Location was awesome. Only draw backs were: No adequate pans to cook a family breakfast, lacked utensils, bowls. No hairdryer! This was really needed as we rented for a family anniversary party. I asked a neighbor if I could borrow a hairdryer for 5 minutes and he stated, "it was broken". Come on, just say no. Also, the person prior to us did not clean up their dogs yard waste. We cleaned it so that we did not get blamed for leaving. The trash was not gone from the last renter. It could also use more deck chairs and beach chairs. The inside was very clean. Also, check in was at 4 p.m. The cleaners weren't done until 4 p.m. The check out time was 10 a.m. It should be later for the amount of money paid. Very expensive with all the fees for this and that.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door to this home. It was very clean and well furnished. I have stayed in other BnB's and they were modestly furnished. This typical Cape Cod style house feels like a home. The artwork on the walls were tasteful. The furniture was modern and clean. Having the sheets and towels furnished was a plus. The kitchen has everything that you could need, including a blender for those vacation drinks! The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood that is close to both bay and ocean beaches. I would rebook this home again.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable. Three bedrooms on two floors accommodate seven adults. The kitchen is well equipped. The property is centrally located in the mid cape making it accessible to some of the best beaches, shopping, and historic sites. We will stay again.

This home was very pretty, the neighborhood is quiet and convenient but the interior was extremely unsatisfactory with regards to cleanliness. Multiple beds had actually dirt particles in the sheets, the living room had crumbs and tufts of dog hair on the rug, as well as clumps of dog hair on the couches. The toiletries were all small samples, not effective for more than one or two days stay, same with paper products and garbage bags. This home has SO MUCH potential, but the details just missed the mark and made out stay less than ideal.

We have a small dog so needed a property that would accept pets. I didn't imagine this would mean pee stained and urine soaked carpet. Property managers tried to rectify by sending pro carpet cleaners but once the carpet got wet the smell was worse, although the stains were removed. And we had to request a foam mattress topper as the queen bed was like a slab of
Concrete. Very plain poorly equipped home. Irear deck had two plastic chairs and a small plastic table and a dirty barbecue. Awful.

Great House, Great Location in Dennis, we had ease of travel whenever we went out. We would stay again, had a wonderful time. Thank You!
Maintenance Recommendations for Property Owner.
1. Add another trash barrel to the yard, we cooked at home all week and the trash was a lot, even with us trying to reduce.
2. The Mobile AC unit in the 1st floor needs a permanent fix, we (as others before) had to duct tape the unit vent into the window, it would come undone every couple nights at 2 or 3am and fall out.
3. Toilet seats should be replaced, the hinge on the 1st floor was wonky.

When looking for a vacation home for my family, beds were a premium and this home has 6 beds. Unfortunately this home felt like a true rental- no love. The air-conditioning vent was taped to the window and was always falling down. The kitchen was very sparsely stocked, making cooking difficult. One upstairs bedroom had no air-conditioning which is miserable in a heat wave. For just laying your head at night, it's fine, but not at all comfortable if you want to hang out, cook, entertain, or enjoy being home.

It’s a cozy little house in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the nearby running/walking trail. The couches are a little smelly-taking the throw pillows off helped. We nicknamed the queen bed Plymouth Rock because it’s a very firm mattress. The other beds were much more comfortable. Just being together as a family was great for us. We enjoyed the stay. Thank you.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. We originally had another reservation with a different vacation rental company that treated us so poorly we cancelled and rebooked with this company and property instead. Overall the house was great. The two floors was a plus, the two bathrooms were very large and nice. The upstairs beds were very comfortable for my two young boys. The living room and kitchen open layout was nice and the skylight was great for natural light and bright mornings. Some unexpected perks included being a block away from Kelly Shea park which we love and has a great playground and track for walks with kids and dogs. Additionally about a block the opposite way is a pond that has a short public trail to. That was great for our boys as well. Very calm quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The back deck is smaller than it looks but the backyard overall is a decent size. The neighbors are a bit close to the property but were very friendly. A few things that could be better include: the downstairs queen size bed was pretty firm. We ended up getting used to it but overall it should be replaced with something more comfortable. All linens and towels were included and more than enough pillows were provided but the kitchen could have had a few small spices included for cooking. Luckily there is a great plaza about 7 min away with markets grocery stores etc. location really was awesome. The backyard isn’t completely fenced in but could be easily done. If that happened I think the property would be more relaxing as it is hard to fully enjoy yourself outside with two small kids who want to assert their independence often lol. That is probably our biggest “con” though putting that aside we would def book this property again. I think I would give this property 3.5 stars but if the yard was fenced in it would go up to 4. Thank you for our stay, we had a great time and hope to come back to the cape soon

Nice little "Get Away" in the Cape
Traveled with my family of 4 and 2 dogs. Had a great stay. Weather wasn't really on our side but made the best of it. Perfect size house for all of us. We actually could have had another 2 or 3 more people join us as the upstairs bedrooms had extra beds. Check in was smooth and house looked and smelled clean when we arrived. Beds and pillows were comfy and they supplied all the towels we needed for our stay. The house was mostly well equipped with things you would need in the kitchen. Although they do need a drain board for dishes. It had plenty of cups, plates, silverware, cooking utensils and pots/pans. They also supplied us with dish soap and sponge, dishwasher soap and laundry detergent. A couple of minor fixes are needed for the toaster oven. The rack inside doesn't stay up so your toast gets burnt on that side. The oven handle needs to be fixed also, its coming off on one end. The bathrooms were clean and ready for us when we got there. The shower head on the main floor is leaking so some water was spraying on the wall. Overall it was a great location, very close to a park and in a residential neighborhood. It was a great location for us to walk the dogs as well. We had a nice time and would stay there again. Thanks very much!
