Barnstable Harbor Area - Walk to Private Beach Cottage
Barnstable Village Vacation Rental - ID 22665

Fantastic location with a very short walk to the bay, marina and guarded beach. No need to haul linens or chairs and beach umbrellas. The backyard provides nice shade and the patio is set up well for cool evenings and dining outside.

Everything in the cottage was as listed and we truly enjoyed our stay. The homeowners went above and beyond as hosts. Susan and John even helped us when we had car trouble and needed to adjust our checkout time. We've been coming to the cape for over 20 years. This cottage was a great find.

This charming house had all the comforts needed for my husband and I to have a peaceful and relaxing vacation. We loved it.

The location of the house was perfect... we really enjoyed the private neighborhood beach and the short walk to the 2 restaurants at Barnstable Harbor. We also went on the whale watch boat from Barnstable Harbor and were lucky enough to see whales in Cape Cod Bay!

We look forward to renting this house again for our next vacation.

We are retired and this was the perfect place for us. The porch was an added bonus. We did puzzles out there, read and crocheted. The kitchen is fully equipped. The neighborhood quiet and neighbors friendly. The patio has a table, chairs, settee and chaises — even a ping pong table! And on top of all that it's pet friendly.

We had a wonderful visit. The house was great and very comfortable. Loved the coffee maker. Outdoor shower is great and you can see the water from the kitchen. Great neighborhood and the Mattakeese Wharf is a great time as is Barnstable.

This home is quaint, clean and a great town and bay beach (steps away) location. Owners were very friendly to work with. Our dog enjoyed his stay as well. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend vacationing here.

We are a family of four with a small dog, and we stayed for three nights this fall. It is an adorable house with everything you need and located in a lovely neighborhood. The yard and patio area are also very nice with a view of the bay.

The house is only a few steps from the beach and a short walk to the harbor where you can go on a whale watch cruise. There is also a restaurant with beautiful views and a fish market/restaurant where we chatted with some locals that were very friendly and helpful with ideas of things to do in the area.

The weather did not cooperate for our trip. We encountered a lot of rain but having a great place to stay with all the comforts of home including a big television and an electric fireplace helped. We would definitely like to return and enjoy the beach and hopefully a sunset!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this charming cottage. We looked forward to returning there every evening after hours of fun-filled activities on the Cape. It was clean, welcoming and comfortable with a pleasant atmosphere. Great location, as well.
We enjoyed taking our two dogs for walks on the beach and watching beautiful sunsets every evening. The nearby restaurants and great little market were a bonus. John and Susan were a pleasure, and we absolutely look forward to staying at their lovely cottage again.

I have stayed here at least three times, and have had a good experience each time. Home is comfortable, and well stocked with everything you need. The porch is the perfect spot for reading. Very relaxing. Short walk to the beach, where the sunsets are amazing! I am sure we will be back again.

What a wonderful week we had at this beautiful cottage, Susan and John are terrific hosts. The cottage is very clean with all the comforts of home, the location is terrific (we walked along the bay every morning and enjoyed the beautiful views and breeze). Everything you need is here. We cannot wait to come back year after year.

Perfect spot; close to beach and easy walk downtown to stores/shops and restaurants. Owners were very friendly and super helpful.

This is a wonderful vacation spot! The rental is very comfortable inside, has a nice yard, and is located in a quiet area, which is what we were looking for. Everything inside and out is just as pictured in the listing. Our two Scotties travel with us, and they settled right in and enjoyed the vacation also. Susan and John are very nice and gave us a list of restaurants and information on the area. We will definitely return next year!

Really a gem. Clean, convenient, quaint and cozy. 3 minute walk to the harborside and (fish) market, 10 minute walk to Old Barnstable Village. So many nice touches like a stocked Kuerig coffee maker, wide screen cable TV (a must for watching Stanley Cup Finals), WiFi and more. I reserved a slip with the Harbormaster so had access to the boat 5 minutes away. Fishing was OK but no keepers.

Susan and John were excellent hosts, and everything was perfect for our week this year. I hope to reserve again next year when the fish are biting!

This was a great rental. Everything you could need and then some was included. Nice quiet area with the beach very close by. You could see the beach from the kitchen door. Property is near a variety of stores and restaurants. Would definitely rent here again.

We rented this place to be near my family's cottage. It was perfect. The owner was very relaxed and helpful. The cottage was very clean and the kitchen had everything that we needed. It had ac which really helped during those humid nights. The outdoor area was great! The outdoor shower was divine - could not wait to shower there after the beach each day. The patio was perfect for grilling and eating. The beach this cottage is near is one of my favorites. It is small but there are very few people there. At low tide we almost walked across to the other side of the bay. We will be renting here again!

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this cozy home. The house overall was clean and comfortable. Lots of pillows, linens and towels were provided even toiletries.

The house came with a new gas grill which was a plus since we did most of our cooking outside. The patio furniture was up to date and clean. We really enjoyed the outside shower after a day at the beach which was only a few houses away. You can even bring your dog to the private beach. This is a nice area to go for walks or jog.

The owner, Susan, was very nice and provided information about the area and things to do. I will go back.
