We had another great stay and long weekend on the cape to visit with family & friends.
We came in on Thursday and the cottage was nice and cool after a long drive from VT. The yard was great and we noticed a few upgrades/changes since the last stay we had. It is very peaceful and close to everything we had planned for our time away. Thanks for another great visit at your cottage and we are looking at dates for our next quick get away.

Cozy cottage
This cozy cottage was clean and welcoming. We visited during the off season and it was quiet. From the cottage there was a short walk over the railroad tracks to a beech. The canal was close by and there were many places to go hiking as well as walk the beeches.

Wonderful Holiday location.
This was a cute little cape cod cottage that was more than enough space for me and my dachshunds. Fenced in yard was great and small deck allowed me to sit outside as well! Bob (the owner) was awesome with his communication and the property was just as expected. Location was fantastic knowing the area, and used delivery & door dash with no issues! I am looking at date in the spring and summer to stay again! Thanks for a great spot to crash for the holiday, it was much needed and worth the cost to rent and not be in a hotel for the week!

Liked: Location
location location location
The cottage is in a convenient location for visiting the Cape. The location it self is in a small road of the main road against the main railroad that separates it from the sea shore. The area has seen better times and is slightly run down. The house itself also needs some TLC. It's a small house, has two queens beds and no dining area. The furniture is old and large for the living room.

Serious Let-down!!
This cottage was not up to the standard we had anticipated. Sheets were dirty, ants were found in the kitchen (6+), the fenced in yard was not! The gate was removed and lain on its side in the yard. A floor board was broken (trip hazard). Almost every upper cabinet contained used and outdated food packages. When we contacted our person, the food removal was the only issue addressed. We spent our first day of vacation dealing with these issues and decided we couldn’t even stay there the rest of our trip! To say we were disappointed, does not do it justice. It was a shame, as the location was a good one. Some of the interior items looked newish, but the exterior shown a lack of care. Again, disappointing.

A hidden gem
A great little cottage offered so much more than expected. Location was convenient and fenced in yard was a great space for our dog. Hope to go back next year!

Not worth the cost.
I know that it's peak season and a good location, but I found this place to be very lacking in comfort for the price. No end tables anywhere to comfortably rest a drink or phone on. A broken recliner. An unusable, stopped up bathroom sink, a rotted, rusted out barbecue grill, dead flowers out front to greet you, noisy trains feet from the bedroom, throw pillows still proudly displaying their WalMart tags, broken kitchen sink stopper (no dishwasher, so that made doing dishes difficult), trip hazards with uneven floors and a view that can't be seen if you sit down. There were things that I liked about the place and probably would have given it a much better rating if I'd paid 1/3 of what I ultimately paid for it.

Functional cabin for outdoor-loving group
The cabin is small but functional, especially if your plan is to be outside most of the time anyway. Place was clean and not musty. We loved the kayaks and outdoor shower. Beds were comfy. Train was infrequent, but close! The futon is in the sunroom, which doesn't have complete curtain coverage, so be forewarned if you are planning on using that for sleeping. Lovely trip and place!

Stunning home away from home!
It's easy to forget that you're right off of the bustling route 6 once you get to the house. It's a beautiful cottage with absolutely gorgeous views of the bay and it's so quiet. You don't get the highway noise, and even the train that occasionally passes by is practically whispering. The whole house is so cozy and inviting, you feel right at home right away. 10/10 for sure.

Buzzards Bay Getaway
I loved the location and the overall feel of the property. The views are spectacular and the train which went by occasionally was quiet as well as delightful. Some feedback: -More fans (there were only two window fans) -The location mentioned a pull out bed from under another bed in a room which was inaccurate -Neighbors were friendly but cars were consistently blocking the driveway

Fall getaway in Buzzard’s Bay
October is the perfect time to visit New England. We’d camped at Nickerson State in the 90s and in a cottage in Dennisport in the 60s. Buzzard’s Bay is the perfect location to settle in to explore The local area and close to a day’s ride to the lower Cape. Weather didn’t permit kayaking but the owner’s generous provision of them is a definite plus. The Vermont Maple syrup in the fridge took frozen waffles to a new level! Quiet , cozy and very private.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disappointing
Property has so much potential, but is in desperate need of some tlc, a deep clean and a lick of paint. Garden is overgrown, sand all over floor on arrival, rugs needed a hoover, lot’s of dog hair and general muck on the floor, chair in kitchen broken, and property did smell very strongly of ingrained cigarette smoke. Had the property been thoroughly cleaned nothing else would have been an issue. Beds were clean & comfortable.

Comfortable but not as expected
Very comfortable clean property but not as expected..booked this home because listing stated backyard was fenced and room for your dogs to frolic..Backyard was only partially fenced and my dog had to remain on her leash in yard..in addition the yard was frequented by a skunk in the evenings..short path to beach required a walk on a path overgrown by brush and up and over an active railroad tracks.. i was unable to walk down the hill to the beach and my mother could not even walk up the path..property is right off route 6 and had to back out of property for the whole block to leave. Home indicated it was 1300 feet but hard to believe..bedrooms were very tiny and only item in room was the full size bed..my suitcase barely fit on floor at the end of bed. Closets very tiny but storage offered under the bed..bathroom very tiny..low hanging mirror..no tub..no electrical outlets in bathroom..shower had large window and anyone in yard could see the person showering.. kitchen was updated, good appliances, but left a knife in sink that was used to cut dogs food and rinsed but following morning large black ants had come up the drain and covered the knife.. beds were very comfortable and you could see the bay from the rooms. A small deck was recently upgraded on the side of house and it was very enjoyable to sit there in the evenings..living room was comfortable and had a good size television.. comfortable seating in living room.. firepit in backyard in corner of yard but no seating around around it.. if seating was available it would have to been pulled out of basement by us.. back deck was not in good shape and partially torn down and rotted posts.. this home has great potential but I was very disappointed as the overall description of the home did not match what I encountered..

Comfortable stay in older property
My wife and I had a very comfortable off season stay in this older property.. Great view of water, nice backyard, however railroad tracks immediately behind house although when we were there twe only saw a dinner train every evening and it was relatively short and quiet. To use kayaks, which we did not, you would have to carry them over the tracks to the beach behind the property.. Parking would be difficult for more than one vehicle.

off a quiet street local things to do forbthe family Great view of canal and trains. Beds were comfotable very hot during day even with Windows open and fans on was reading 80 no AC available. nice back yard for kids and dogs to run and cute baby bunnies in the evening. Mold in certain areas of the house like fridge and some windows that didn't shut from the top that were like that when we arrived. location is great and down the street from my favorite Restuarant Ellas property manager very responsive with questions or concerns. They make their own maple syrup for your use.
