Early summer getaway

Nice, spacious house for our family. We loved the touches in the yard, use of the surrey, walking to a local small beach area and restaurant and use of the kayaks across the street. The owners were very kind and accessible before our trip and during the trip.

Parker River House

Front Door and foot jamb were broke when we arrived. Four big black bags of garbage were in yard when we arrived. It was not our garbage Next the TV shut down in the middle of the Olympics'. Host fixed the TV. Next morning. the large flock of Crows spread the garbage all over the yard. Host picked up the garbage, but thenTV broke down again. Next the family was doing a puzzle water began flowing out of the laundry room. My son in law removed the laundry room doors in order to remove the washer and dryer. He removed a large amount of dirt lint from the washer drain with a coat hanger. Then the tv cable broke down for a fourth time. The cable company came and strung a new cable. On friday we were taking showers in preparation for departure and the toilet overflowed all over the bathroom floor. My son in law tried to open the toilet with a plunger and the water started flowing out of the laundry room again. We believe we deserve a rebate. If this is how VBRO does business you have lost a customer. Dr. Powers

Fantastic Getaway

Perfect for us (2 adults, 2 young children) - but with more than enough bedrooms to have another 1 or 2 families there. Great weekend away on the cape. House is cozy, with everything that you need. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards with a quiet river that leads to the beach. We had a great time. Hosts are very responsive, kind and generous. Would stay again

4th of July Week on the Cape

Property and hosts were are at. Dawn and Steve are great owners. The home was perfect for our family if 4 plus our in laws to enjoy the beaches, River access, fishing, the Skipper and all of the fun the cape has to offer. Location was perfect as were the Kayaks and paddle boards that owners allowed property to use. House sleeps 12 comfortably. Great size rooms and ACs that did their job of cooling the house down with the East Coast humidity. Backyard was great, washer and dryer came in handy, access to the Parker River. Our family will be back and again Dawn and Steve were great with responding with texts and allowing us to check in a little early and out a little later. Highly recommend this property. Thanks for a great week!

We went in a girls weekend and the house was perfect. Location was amazing, so close to so many things to do, beach, kayaking, dining, shopping, mini golf, inflatable park ect. House was very clean with plenty of rooms, beds and bathrooms to accommodate us. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook in, big dining table to fit everyone. Lots of comfortable seating. Very nice backyard with fun tiki bar and hammock! Easy communication with questions. We will definitely be back!

Great time on the Cape with family & friends! Property is well maintained and owner is very responsive. Great property for a diverse group. The Beach was within walking distance and the dock across the street for kayaking was super fun. The neighborhood is quiet and the area has good restaurants and other fun attractions such as Putt-Putt and an Inflatable Park. Everyone in my group enjoyed their stay!

Family trip

We stayed for 5 days at this house. It’s well furnished and clean. The house itself is dated, but it’s charming. The River activities are awesome, and we spent every day making use of the paddle boards and kayaks. The nearby beaches are nice and not too crowded. The house itself is older and could use some updates. The main floor is dark and could use either more light or just a coat of bright paint on the dark wood paneled walls. The kitchen is small but functional. I’d suggest bringing all the ingredients you need because, other than actual cookware and utensils, there was pretty much only salt and pepper and aluminum foil. Many other rentals have spices, oils, and some more food storage options. Overall, the house is nice, clean and spacious. You’re paying for the space and the fantastic location. Don’t come expecting a modern and updated rental, but a clean and functional home base great for an extended family.

Cape Cod outing

This rental is a short drive to several nice beaches. We loved having 7 beds in 4 bedrooms and a nice dining area and TV area. Some updating is needed on the main floor to make it brighter and in the kitchen and need better mattresses and A/C filters need changing. Kayaks were fun and surrey bike unique and fun outdoor shower. A good family spot.

Clean but dated

This house was in an amazing location. Easy drive to Hyannis. The house itself was very clean, but very dated. Lots of spiders. We didn’t really use anything in the yard. We brought our own corn hole and set it up in the road because there wasn’t a lot of yard space. Also, the outdoor shower was not someplace I’d probably want to rinse off in. Owners were very nice and attentive.

The house was exactly as described. The owners were easy to communicate with and when there was a need to communicate with them, they responded quickly and helpfully. The limo bike and dock were great additions to the stay and added an extra element. I would stay there again in a heart beat.

Charming, comfortable home

We stayed in this property for a long weekend for a multi-generational family getaway. The house was very comfortable with plenty of space for our group of seven. The kitchen is well equipped and the yard is lovely. We had an added bonus of watching the bunnies frolic in the yard. Unfortunately, we did not have good weather so did not take advantage of the water toys that come with this property. Our only complaint is that the heat was not working, so the house got quite cold (I am guessing we were the first renters of the season). The owner was very responsive and sent someone right away to address the problem. The only other note is that this property does not come with bed linens or towels, so you either have to bring your own, or order from one of the local companies (which is what we did since we flew in) for an extra cost.

60 and Spectacular

I loved the property and the access to the water toys. The house was comfortable and there was enough space for my entire family. It's often tough finding a place to accommodate three generations. My son and grands rode around the neighborhood on the 6 person bike and that was cool. The only suggestion I would offer is updating the beds on the first floor. They were not very comfortable. We hope to return next year in the summer when we can take full advantage of the water.

There are no words for how great the last week was for me and my family. My husband is deploying in the near future so this was a Last minute vacation and it was worth every moment. If I could change anything it would be to add a fire pit to the property but then again there may be restrictions to doing so.
