Anne is such a lovely, responsive host and makes it very easy to know how her house works and what's available in the surrounding area. We loved the little beach right around the corner; perfect for little ones. The other beaches are also very close by and the house makes for a great hang out too. We want to come back!

The screened in porch was an amazing place to have our morning coffee and end our day. Easy drives to many great beaches. Anne was very communicative and very helpful.

Little Edie was the most perfect and relaxing base to access points north to Boston, South Shore Massachusetts, the islands, the Cape, and southern New England. It's warm and unique wood interior makes for a charming and cozy stay. My husband and I were joined by two other couples (all family) who stayed with us and we were quite comfortable at Little Edie's -- which was the perfect location to be and off the beaten track of the heavily touristed and busy Cape Cod region. We spent our time exploring Onset Village and the local beaches that were all minutes away walking (Nanumett and Point Independence) or by car. The provided beach towels, chairs (2), and wagon made transporting everything great. We cooked in some nights using the outdoor grill and visited local places like Ella's and Scarlet Rose Bistro for nice dinners out. The breeze was amazing and was what made our stay at Little Edie super relaxing. We basically lived on the front porch. Even in July, with ample fans and the windows open, not having air conditioning was not an issue. While the bathrooms are on the small side, the outdoor shower was an added bonus. The working marina across the street just adds to the character of the neighborhood and feel of being right on the water. The neighborhood is super walkable and we enjoyed morning and evening walks to the neighborhood beach (Nanumett) for sunset. We highly recommend Little Edie for a unique and relaxing Cape experience!

The owner was very helpful and responded nicely to all my questions - even ones that I already had information (trash collection) about. Appreciated. Loved the bedrooms and a very comfortable living room. Note that the stairs to the second floor are quite steep and the toilets can be a bit tight for a large person. None of us are large though and we definately appreciated that there was a toilet on each floor. Also grateful for the washer & dryer. The front closed-in patio was great and we ate breakfast there every morning. Screens on the windows for good cross ventilation. Walking distance to mostly everything in town if you like walking. Onset is a very quaint town and the house is in a nice, quiet residential area. Some days were hot but there were definately enough fans to keep us comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Little Edie is the name given to this quaint seaside cottage. Located in a beach community just a short walk from the village of Onset and the beaches. The cottage is very well appointed and was super clean upon arrival. The cottage appears to be newly renovated and is tastefully decorated. We really felt as if we were staying at the beach for the weekend. The neighborhood is quiet and inviting. The village has a number of decent bars/restaurants to visit. Onset is easy to get to and minutes from the Bourne Bridge to get onto Cape Cod. Thanks for having us!
