Cheerful Cottage On Pond w View, 5 Min Walk Bay Beach
Brewster Vacation Rental - ID 19784

This is a lovely, comfortable, well-maintained home with a great location. It is in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. The house had plenty of space for our family of 5 as well as lots of space for storage. The house and property are nicely decorated, very clean, and well supplied for your visit. We cook a lot while on vacation, and this kitchen had all the pots, pans, utensils, and appliances we needed and beyond!

The tree-lined backyard feels quite private. The property is situated on a small pond where we saw a great deal of wildlife. I enjoyed sitting pondside in the quiet mornings, while my kids enjoyed swinging in the hammock and my husband enjoyed his coffee on the brick patio with a view of the pond. The screened in porch was perfect for dinner outdoors.

The private neighborhood beach is close enough that it's easy to walk or ride bikes back and forth to the house throughout the day. The beach was pretty quiet during the early August week we were there -- on weekdays we were often there alone or saw just one other family. A short walk away is a busier public beach which receives visits from the ice cream truck :) We really appreciated the outdoor shower upon returning home from the beach. We could also bike to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which is about 2 miles away.

In the evenings, we could walk a half mile to the General Store and ice cream shop, head back to the beach to see the sunset and walk the tidal flats, or stay home and watch sunset over the pond.

We had a wonderful, relaxing week in this very comfortable home. I highly recommend it. show more show less

The cottage is a great deal, and we will be back again. My wife and I can be fussy when it comes to rentals at the Cape, but we were both impressed by the comfort and location of the house. It was filled with all the accoutrements you could need for a relaxing vacation, and the owners were very attentive and personable. Our young kids loved all the activities the location had to offer, whether it was riding bikes on the back roads, taking a dip or boat ride on the pond, or walking to the beach. The General Store down the road made for fun morning walks to grab a muffin and coffee. With the pond literally in the back yard, sunsets and tranquil water views were easy to come by and added an additional element of enjoyment. It felt like wherever you turned, the cottage had something fun to offer. We look forward to returning. show more show less

My family of 5 just spent a wonderful week at this home. The house is situated in a private community that is only a 3 minute walk to the beach (in which we had the beach to ourselves nearly every day) plus a 5 minute walk to the Brewster General Store. The house itself was perfect for a family with 3 small children. The one-story living was great and the master bedroom was really spectacular. We have rented a lot of houses on the Cape, and this has been the nicest.

What was really great was that this house was very well stocked. Everything you could possibly need especially in the kitchen – down to spices, plastic wrap, garbage bags, paper towels, tissues, etc – the owner really thought of everything. The back patio was where we spent most of our time. We ate all our meals out there and the views are amazing. There was an older row boat that our 7 year old daughter loved to go out on every day. The living room was a bit small, but as long as the weather is nice, there is plenty of space outdoors.

Would highly recommend this home and plan on returning next year. show more show less
