Private/Sleeps 5/2 Bath/Fire Pit/Parking for Boat

Sand Shark is set well off the street in Marstons Mills on a private lane just minutes to beaches, ponds, shopping, golf courses and several walking trails. Bring your boat, plenty of parking! The first floor features a newer eat-in kitchen, an updated bathroom, a master bedroom and a large sectional in the living room with tv. The walkout lower level has a full bath with shower, a full bed, a single bed, a table, couch and a large smart tv. Perfect place for the kids to hangout after a fun day at the beach! Mashpee Commons, many beaches and lakes, golf courses, restaurants, the Cotuit Center for the Arts, and the Cotuit Kettleers Baseball fields are all just a short drive away. We offer a fire pit for evening outside fun and corn hole to play in the large flat yard. Sand Shark is a perfect home base to explore all that Cape Cod offers. Owners live in main house on 2-acre property. Check out our upstairs unit “Bluefish” (Property ID 2368236) if you have a larger group and want to rent out the whole house. Thanks!

Lovely place on the cape

The property for the 4 of us perfectly. The kids had their own space downstairs plus there was the upstairs space for all of us for family games, meals, etc. It was quite hot so we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit but that was a nice feature to have.

The accommodations were very clean! The colors are restful, and the cottage is in excellent condition. The hosts were prompt and responsive to our needs. We enjoyed a weekend getaway to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and this cottage was perfect for us! We enjoyed a bit of sightseeing and simply relaxing at the cottage. A truly delightful time! Thank you, Rob and Sandra!

Perfect Romantic Getaway

My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and wanted a nice, quiet place to reconnect and recharge and still have the opportunity to do fun things. This was the perfect place. The cottage was neat, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect distance, (a short car ride), away from the activities and attractions the Cape is known for. We plan on returning.

Excellent getaway, away from the crowds!

This place isn't fancy but it is clean and well cared for. My daughter liked having her own private suite downstairs which would be great for other teenagers and young adults traveling with family. You have to drive to the beaches, but everything is 10 - 30 minutes away. Nice, quiet yard and plenty of room if you have to park a boat or camper. The fire pit has potential! Although we barely communicated with the hosts (we were on the go the whole time), they were excellent. We would definitely stay here again!

Great area and hosts!

This place worked out really well for our family of 4. The pictures online gave us the impression it was bigger than it was, but it was plenty of room for our family. The part of town we were in was convenient as there was plenty of shopping and restaurants with 10-15 minutes (both Hyannis and Osterville). You are also about 20-30 minutes away from the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Rob and Sandra were very responsive and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for hosting us!

Lovely Host and Location, But Lacking in Basics

We had a nice stay and really appreciated the location—quiet, private, and close to town with plenty to do. The hosts were kind and responsive, and their recommendations helped us enjoy our time in Cape Cod.That said, the home could use some improvements. The kitchen was very minimally stocked—only four bowls, limited silverware, no cooking spray or oven mitts—so we had to wash dishes often. We were also only given three towels for the three of us. While we could’ve asked for more, we found ourselves needing to request several basic items we’d normally expect to be provided.The downstairs AC worked well, but the upstairs unit struggled to cool the rooms. There was no beach gear available; the hosts kindly lent an umbrella, but it didn’t include a stand. A set of guest beach supplies would be helpful.Cleanliness was the biggest concern. We encountered many bugs—especially in the basement—and found dead ones under the bed. Cobwebs and spiders made the space feel less cared for.Overall, the hosts were lovely, and the location is great. With more attention to cleanliness, guest supplies, and cooling, this could be an excellent stay.

A quiet and comfortable house

The description of the house is exact. Recently modernized, it is very comfortable for a family of 4 or 5. The owners are welcoming and located on the property It is located in the Lower Cape, with easy access to nice beaches on Nantucket Sound and the area around Chatham. The drive to the south of Cape Cod National Seashore is an hour +, and quite long for Provincetown. Many thanks to Sandra for a fine stay.

Super!

This is a great place to stay when you've got a full calendar for your vacation. Sleeps 5 easily. The kitchen is pretty well equipped. The beds are comfortable. And the hosts are friendly and helpful. Close to both beaches and freshwater ponds, the CC children's museum, great restaurants, and ice cream. The only challenge is when it is humid, the portable a/c doesn't do it. But we had a GREAT week!

Family trip

The house is in a great location close to everything. My sister and I enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard we sat out there and enjoyed the weather and the fire. Owners were good with all questions I asked. The house has an upstairs unit as well. It was rented out at the same time so it got a little noisy. That was my only little complaint. We would def rent it again Lisa wilson

Wonderful spot near Marston’s Mills

The stay here was exactly what we were looking for during our short visit to the cape. The place was very clean, and laid out perfectly for multiple guests, as the upstairs was separate from the downstairs. This added level of privacy was an added bonus to an already wonderful place. The hosts were very responsive to all of our questions, and definitely make you feel like they are available for questions. We did have an unfortunate event doing a load of laundry there, in which some of our clothes were stained. This was more than likely beyond the Hosts control, and we understand stuff like this happens from time to time. This was communicated with the host, and wouldn’t be something that would deter us from re-booking the property in the future. The location is perfect, and is a short drive to a large grocery store, and other cool restaurants and shops.

Weekend visit

My family and I stayed at this cottage on our first visit to cape cod for a wedding. The listing does state there isn't central AC, but a window unit and fans downstairs. However, upon arrival, the house was uncomfortably hot. I'm not sure if the owners waited until later in day to cool the house, but it was almost intolerable (especially the basement). The fans in basement were small and did very little to help. After a 7hr drive, I found myself at Walmart spending $60 on fans so my family could comfortably sleep. We also had to buy a power block as there was no where to plug in our devices in the basement. Once we got the house cooled, it was more comfortable for the rest of our stay. There were only 2 rolls of Toilet paper provided (1 per bathroom) so be prepared with more for your stay. When we arrived, the owners approached us about a broken door lock and asked if we'd prefer a new one be installed immediately, or would it be ok to wait until the next day. We said the next day was fine; however, they never did install it and we went the duration of our 3 day stay unable to lock the house when we left. If you enjoy cereal, oatmeal, soup or any meal that may require a bowl, this is not your place. The only dishes provided were mugs, cups, and a few plates. The house was clean. It is in a quiet location and the upstairs guests were considerate. There was a nice fire pit for guests to enjoy, though we didn't take advantage. Overall, I would probably choose to stay elsewhere during any future visits.
