We stayed just for a long weekend for a soccer tournament. Check in process was a breeze. The house is spotless and has everything we needed. Appliances are new including the washer / dryer. The master bedroom suite was lovely and makes the house feel so much bigger to accommodate families. Close to restaurants and access to 6/6A for getting around the cape. The beach is walkable but can’t imagine doing the walk with chairs and a cooler. The drive is short but you end up a tiny bit farther down the beach. Overall a great spot to spend a vacation!

This house was perfect for our family! We loved all the cozy nooks, outdoor dining table, bikes and the location! We wish we could have stayed longer...the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and we felt very at home.

Disappointed with Inhospitable Experience
Disappointed with Inhospitable Experience
Even though it is a beautiful, well-appointed home within walking distance of the beach, we were disappointed with the unexpected demands communicated upon our arrival and the inhospitable tone of our interactions with the property's representatives. (For 20 years, we have rented homes at least annually through several rental platforms and even done home-exchanges--so we do have relevant experience and points of comparison.) Upon arrival, we were greeted with a posted sign above the kitchen sink listing in detail the cleaning we are expected to do--including washing and drying bath mats, cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, and washing/drying/re-shelving the dishes--all by 10 a.m. on the date of departure. This exceeds any prior move-out instructions we have seen--even during the pandemic--and is inconsistent with the price point, which includes a generous cleaning fee. We took the to-do list seriously, and the cleaning took an hour longer than we expected on the date of departure. When departing, a woman arrived in her car and scolded us for leaving an hour late--there was no need for her to be rude. Half-an-hour into our drive to the airport, another representative called us. The purpose of the call was unclear but began by telling us we departed an hour late and revealed that our departure was captured on posted cameras. (How charming.) More helpfully, she did acknowledge the to-do list is not available on the Evolve listing. Fundamentally, there seems to be a disconnect between the product (a higher-end vacation rental) and the actual arrangement which felt more like a strict co-op of some kind. This is not what we look for in a vacation and certainly not at this price point.

House is as nice as described, 5 min bike ride to the bike path, short drive to supermarkets and to Orleans breakfast/sandwich shops and restaurants. Was good size for us, 2 parents + 2 older kids, each kid got their own bedroom. Lots of comfy chairs inside and a big table on the patio.

My sister and I stayed here fir three nights in May, the house is very nice! Spacious, super clean, convenient to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Easy checkin - quick affirmative response for early Checkin (maybe easier in May than high season). Really great kitchen, we cook for ourselves and really appreciated the Keurig and pods, spices and maple syrup! Very nice washer and dryer in the basement, toiletries in the bathroom made this one of our favorite VRBO houses!
