Take a 10-minute drive to Mashpee Commons, and visit local favorite Bleu, an upscale French eatery with a welcoming vibe that pairs innovative spins on bistro classics with a curated wine list.

Quaint, clean house. Beautiful backyard that has a nice flat section for sitting and then slopes down to the lake. It was wonderful to have kayaks for afternoon jaunts on the lake after a morning of walking at the Mashpee Town Beach- which is connected to the South Cape Beach State Park. Drawbacks are 1) the property manager never got back to us with a solution to an issue. 2) the neighbor's house is very close and they have a TV on their porch which ruins a quiet evening on the renter's porch.

This is rustic cabin style. Some furniture is dated and some breaking (dining room chair backs cracking and broken). This furniture was the same last year when we were there. It’s not updated as the listing shows. Could use more pots and pans, baking pans.
Wonderful to have kayaks and row boat available Would be nice if dock was cleaned occasionally of duck poop. It’s not part of cleaning agreement and we found brush and bucket and cleaned it ourselves since there were lots of poop on it.

Enjoyed our stay very much
Not excited about Vacasa. We think we left a set of keys. They would not contact the owner. Charged me $28 to return them if found and never heard back from them. Cannot understand how they cannot contact the owners for a tenant
Not fair to the tenant or the owners. Very disappointing.

loved that part of the house
BUT know before you go
Steep hill getting to property and lake with no handrails
didn't have internet until a day and a half and even then wifi was intermittent at best
AND fire alarm went off on our last night AFTER being replaced by a service associate

The location was great. The cottage was cute and clean and the screened in porch was awesome! We used the queen bed and it was very comfy. We wish there was a real couch as a loveseat is small for 2 people to curl up and watch a movie. And the kayaks were full of water so we had to empty them before use. But we would consider renting here again.

We loved our stay. Felt secluded even though there were housed on both sides. Wonderful view with the leaf change. Cabin had everything we needed for our week on the Cape.

We have mixed feelings about this property. On the one hand the location is perfect - secluded and lakefront - yet close to everything on the western part of the Cape. We loved sitting on the dock in the early evening. And our boys LOVED fishing the pond. (They used the kayaks and caught over 100 fish between the two of them during the course of the week.) On the other hand, the cottage itself is tired and dirty. If you have allergies do NOT rent this place. As soon as we opened the door we were hit with a pungent, acrid, musty/mildewy smell. We had to buy a candle to help mask the smell. My allergies were off the chart because of the mold/mildew. The couch cover and bathroom rug were so filthy we couldn’t use them. And the amount of dust and dirt on the screens of the the enclosed porch was appalling. The fans inside the house were covered in dust so we couldn’t use them either. There were no utensils for the BBQ (and the grates in the BBQ need to be replaced). We saw similar complaints from late in the season last year but subsequent reviews suggested they fixed the problems. We communicated immediately with Vacasa about the issues (and there are more than I've listed here) and was told someone local would contact us and make everything right but no one did. Instead, they credited the cleaning fee which was nice. This property could have a lot of charm, but it needs someone to care just a little bit more.

The property was clean and well kept and we were very comfortable there. A few small things to consider: Not all burners were working properly, AC's and fans needed to be cleaned. But overall, we had a very nice experience.

Having access to the pond was lovely. Kayaks and boat were a nice perk. The walk down to the pond could be tricky if you have mobility issues. House is as billed. WiFi worked well. We found the bed to be comfy. No issues while staying there. Relaxing trip

The site on the pond was wonderful. The use of the kayaks and row boat the best. The Turnkey Staff Excellent!! Quick to reply and efficient. The cottage was musty, the pillows need replacing. Comfort of bed was marginally comfortable. Mold developed on bathroom ceiling. Was taken care of immediately. Well stocked but cabinets need cleaning as there is musty smell. The AC is 2 bedroom individual window units. This is a diamond in the ruff. Just needs some upgrades.

The easy access to kayaking on the lakes and walking in nearby nature preserves made this a wonderful spring vacation house. It was quiet, and the woods were filled with birdsong. The house was snug during cool nights, but afternoons were warm enough to spend outside or on the screen porch. Our kids enjoyed kayaking, climbing trees in the woods, and exploring. The internet was fine for zoom schooling/working when needed. Thank you!

Everything was perfect. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed. Thank you for providing linens, towels, and paper towels, toilet tissue, dishwashing liquid and many other starter products. I caught the largest freshwater bass that I ever caught so that made our stay just perfect. We like the fact that a bail shop is nearby as well as a grocery store, several restaurants and Mashpee Commons. We have already booked our stay for 2021 and cannot wait to get back!!!

Our stay on Wakeby/Mashpee Pond was the perfect break from the stress of the COVID pandemic. The house was lovely, the porch perfect for eating our meals, and the location couldn't have been better. I've always loved this lake, having visited a friend there over the years, and was thrilled to find a rental there. The water is pristine – clear, weed free, and so refreshing. We were able to swim each day of our stay and also enjoy the kayaks included with the rental. I would return in a minute and highly recommend this house to friends and family.
