Great location and charming cottages!

The cottages were cosy and charming, with an authentic cape cod vibe and spacious outdoor living area. Having 2 cottages allowed our family of 4 generations enough space and privacy. We loved the outdoor showers and the short walk to the beach was very convenient. No parking fees or loading up a car and getting the kids in car seats. Nickerson State Park is also just a few minutes a way and can be accessed by bike via the Cape Cod Rail Trail right across the main road. We found this an ideal location, especially if you have kids. Brewster is lovely and the Museum of Natural History and Drummer Park are very close. There's no washing machine and you have to bring your own sheets, bath towels and kitchen towels. Also no beach chiars or any baby equipment like strollers, cribs, high chairs etc. So our car was full to the brim. But there was a wagon which we appreciated very much and used every day. The road is narrow, unpaved and bumpy so the small strollers would have been difficult to use.

Great location for walk to Linnell Landing Brach. Great beach for children.

We have always loved the Linnell Landing area and beach, and have now stayed at 4 houses in the area, 3 of them along Partridge Circle, as our extended family enlarges. The owners of this property were attentive and stayed in close contact with us all week. Their property is nicely situated within walking distance from the beach, with a large front yard and plenty of parking. The two cottages, Bayside and the smaller Bayside Too, are quaint and traditional, with great potential, but need updating. The kitchen in the main house is bright, with a breakfast table and fairly new appliances. The sunroom is large, with a dinner table perfect for games with the kids, and plenty of windows - but mainly obscured by huge rhododendrons surrounding the cottages and blocking light. The sunroom has futon-type mattress seats available for sleeping, but it is not a true third bedroom as the website lists. The 2 bedrooms and living room are dark-paneled and we often needed lights even on sunny days. The bathroom has a claw foot tub with shower, workable although most of us preferred the nice outside showers. We knew that there was no A/C, and fans were adequate during our stay; however, this required many extension cords and plugs, a concern with small children. Also, the “wireless internet” listed on the website was misleading and not adequate. We expected WiFi, especially since some of us needed to do part time work and I enjoy reading the Cape Cod Times online - this was unavailable, although we’ve had this at properties just across the road. There was also a problem with the Bayside Too stove, which the owners could not foresee, and they arranged to have it fixed - however they still could not assure that the starter would not spark. With small children, we insisted that the gas be turned off for our stay. To their credit, the owners offered to compensate us for this, which we didn’t expect. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but feel that the property needs improvement - a modest investment in trimming the rhododendrons, adding WiFi, and perhaps painting some rooms a brighter color would make a great difference.
