Excellent location, well located for visiting the area and Cape. Whaling Museum was great and close enough, we hit Province town and Martha's Vineyard. Both being easy day trips.The hosts were very communicative and friendly... and the cottage was very homey and cozy.

Great stay

We had a great stay. The property was as described. We loved the house and there was plenty of room for our party. Our favorite part was the yard. Just sitting in the mornings and watching all of nature’s beauty. We got see see a lot of birds, bunnies and lightening bugs!

Great location, comfortable stay

I always prefer staying in a real home to an antiseptic dedicated rental property. This one has a lot of knickknacks including some religious ones and some cutesy ones and some old-fashioned ones that makes it not for everyone especially maybe younger folks. Otherwise comfortable. The yard is lovely but there was no table available when we were there.

Great but could use some updating

This property is great. Very cleanly for the most part, a more thorough cleaning company is needed. (When using the pull out it was filled with cards, baby socks and crumbs, drawers had other peoples under clothing left). We had a couple of issues with things, even though a response was immediate from host/managing company we werent able to find sheets for the queen bed. And the beach parking pass wasn't anywhere to be found. Too many knick knacks for little kids. And the kitchen wares are very dated. But we made it work. Backyard was very peaceful and inviting, would be lovely to have a picnic table or sitting area.

There is a gorgeous backyard and the house is easy driving distance from Marion and Mattapoisett. We loved the antique home and charm of the area. The checkin was easy and there were no problems with our stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
