Nice location, decent place, lacking care and charm
Property was as described- an old school cottage for a classic beach vacation. It is walkable to a relatively comfortable beach - great for walking and exploring but not necessarily for a beach day (in our opinion- better options nearby). We love Brewster and the area is great. With young kids, we enjoyed being at the end of a dirt road as traffic was not an issue. We also enjoyed the classic children’s books and outdoor shower. We were able to use it as the jump off point for a nice vacation.
That said, we wouldn’t book again. While we expected (and enjoy) a property that is not “updated”, we didn’t feel that this one was very well cared for…. There is a small patio, but clearly has not been weeded in a long time. Empty propane tanks left dumped in the middle. Outdoor plastic chaise lounge was broken and glued back together. And while there were many beach chairs and a tub of beach toys, I’d say at least half of them were broken and unusable. While I could be wrong, I got the sense that this was not owner occupied. It was also strange that we worked solely with a management company throughout the booking and check in process , but then got a somewhat random call from the owner on the first night saying not to call the management company and to contact him with issues first. Not quite sure what’s going on there.
At the end of the day, this place definitely has potential but needs tlc.
