Charming Cottage in Craigville Village
Centerville, Craigville Village Vacation Rental - ID 10515

We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Craigville.
House:
Perfect. We were renting with another family so there were 4 adults and 4 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. (We didn't even use the first floor bedroom). So many places in the home to just sit, relax and hang out (multiple porches, two living rooms/sitting rooms, a hammock on one of the porches,). We never felt like we were on top of each other. There is also a good size dining room right off the kitchen that comfortably sat all 8 of us. The home is older but the bathrooms have been updated and everything in the home worked well and the house is very clean.
Location:
Short walk to both Craigville and Covell beach. A few houses away from a cute little playground which was perfect for the evenings. An 8 min drive to down town Hyannis, 10 mins drive to cape cod mall, and I am sure much more we didn't get to see.
Owner:
Judy was wonderful. So easy to reach before and during our stay. Quickly returned our security deposit right after our stay. she also made time prior to booking to speak with me and let me know more about the home/area and answer any questions.

If you are looking to go back in time and relax - this is the place! 5 minute walk to the beach, less than 5 minutes to shopping on Main St. Hyannis and the best ice cream (Four Seas) in Centerville- it is quiet, private,wonderful and plenty of everything or nothing to do is within arms reach in minutes. It is the ideal beach vacation! Judy couldn't have been kinder or more amenable and communicative. The hammock on the screened in porch overlooking the lily pond across the street is worth the trip.Sheets, beach chairs and towels ready to go already there made it so convenient. If you are looking for a perfect private beach getaway, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Judy!

Amazing Beach Cottage. Great location walking distance from Covell Beach in the middle of Craigsville Village. Loved the location for our little kids, lots to do in Craigsville, Osterville and Hyannis.

Judy was great to deal with. She was helpful and honest. We would definitely go back again!

We had a fantastic stay at this traditional Cape Cod house. There was plenty of space for our 2 families with room to spare. The owners recently added a lovely full bathroom downstairs as well as updated washer/dryer. The location of this home is in a gorgeous little area around Lake Elizabeth. There is a playground and park green within walking distance and the roads are very quiet making it perfect for a 5 min bike ride to Craigville beach. Every evening we enjoyed sitting on the many rocking chairs on both the screened in and open porches that surround the home. There is no AC in this home but by night, usually a nice breeze and fans help keep the rooms cool. The owner of the home is lovely, very accommodating and easy to get in touch with should there by any issues or concerns. We would definitely rent this house again!

We spent the week of July 17-24 at the Craigville cottage . This is no cottage. it is a good old beach house. Reminded me of the beach house I grew up in. 3 levels of living. On the 1st fl was a great front porch that overlooks a pond. We spent most of our time here. We ate here and just hung out watching the ospreys in the pond. The kitchen had everything you will need and more. Full bathroom ,laundry, 1 bedroom , dining room and a door to the side yard and outside shower. 2nd fl has 2 living room spaces that the kids loved to play in and a bedroom . also a large wrap around porch . The front part of the porch was screened in . We called this the last call porch . I'm sure you can figure out why. and the side porch has a walk out to the side yard. between the 2 was a corner room with a large hammock. 3rd fl has 3 bedrooms and full bath with a claw foot tub that the kids could swim in . From the 2nd fl a door takes you out to a foot path thru the village. I had my 2 small grandkids and we felt comfortable letting them roam around. Nice walking to common area with small playground or a short walk to the beach. We drove to the beach as we had to much to carry and my family has a house across the street for parking. We did nothing all week but beach and stay at the house. Anyone that came to visit could not believe the house and the location . this was really a great family vacation home . Not fancy just comfy. My 5 year old grandson would say every day 'THIS IS THE BEST TIME EVER " Thank you Judy for sharing your home, and we will be back. Oh - Judy was a super host. Made sure the house was extra clean with all that's going on . Had lots of things in the kitchen for everyday needs . And gave us the option to back out if we wanted due to Covid-19. So glad we didn't. This is truly a slice of heaven.

This was our 4th year staying at this cottage. Great times had by all. It is the perfect house for a big summer vacation week. Our kids can't wait to go back to the cottage every year! The house is so spacious, kid friendly and right in the center of the village. Perfect house when you have guests come and visit during the week, there is plenty of room. We can't wait to go back!

We just love this house! This is our second year and once again we had a great time. The house is charming and full of character. It's a great house for families, we have three little ones and they just love it. Great places to sit and enjoy the beautiful views and weather. There is no A/C so it is a gamble with weather but they have lots of fans to help keep it cool and the breeze off the beach is generally enough because it is up on a hill. The owners are very helpful and always accommodating!

Perfect Spot for a Cape Cod Family Vacation. Cozy living space for families to bond. The children feel like they are in Neverland every time they come back to this house and cry when they leave. We have stayed at many places throughout the country, and we have never had a host make us feel more welcome than Judy. She pays attention to make sure you have everything you need right at your fingertips.

This place was so great for our family and the village it is in has so many fun activities for kids to enjoy! Everything is well furnished and the kitchen had everything we needed. Open up all the windows and enjoy the breeze on all the wonderful porches. With all the open windows and the homes close together we did have to get used to being aware of neighbors and our noise level (3 little kids with not much awareness). We loved it and hope to come back!

This was our family's second stay at this house and we absolutely loved it. We are counting the days until the same week next year! This is the ideal house for a large family especially if you plan on having guests throughout the week. A picturesque Cape Cod setting along a midway, on the edge of a lovely pond and a stone's throw away from the beach, It is the perfect family house! Judy makes sure you have everything you need and checks in with you all week long! We can't wait to be back!

Location location location! The perfect Cape get away with easy walk to the beach. It's a great beach that you can walk and walk for a long time to burn off the yummy pizza and ice cream from places you need to frequent nearby. Beautiful beach neighborhood. Easy drive into Hyannis. The house is charming, relaxing, and the beds are very comfortable. Lots of areas for all to gather, yet plenty of area to have your own space.

We stepped back in time for two weeks this summer. Our stay was peaceful as we enjoyed the views of Lake Elizabeth from the front porch hammock. Rambled along the Midway in the evening enjoying the ocean breeze and took the 40 stairs down to the beach. Memories were created while visiting the historic post office for souvenirs, watching for pirates at the playground, looking for the perfect summmer read at the Tabernacle and oil painting with the Craigville Painters. Can't wait to visit Craigville again. Thank you!

Another wonderful week in the books. This is our 4th stay in this lovely home in Craigsville Beach. So much to do in this beautiful area, in the neighborhood, and around the Cape. A great location centrally located. We always venture out to experience this wonderful vacation destination. This year we visited Martha's Vineyard and had a wonderful day.

We have enjoyed all of our stays in this home. Amazing space for everyone to stretch out. A beautiful screened porch for a lazy afternoon in the hammock or a cocktail in a rocker overlooking the pond watching the wildlife. Make sure you take a walk around the neighborhood and up to the top of the hill to take in the amazing views. At the top, you will find a great set of steps that take you down to the beach.

Found some great new restaurants this year in town. Also minutes to the Melody Tent. Lots of great acts every week.

Judy is always lovely to deal with and makes planning so easy. Everything is provided to make your stay quite pleasant. Sheets, beach towels, a book to read, even chairs at the beach. The kitchen has everything you need for all your meals. Even a washer and dryer so you don't have to overpack.

Craigsville Beach Club is great. A quick walk from the house. No crowds at all and a roped off area for the kids to swim, even two docks to swim out to.

Can't wait to plan for next year.

Ideal family vacation house, very spacious on the midway in a beautiful Cape Cod village. It is also a short stroll to the beach. Perfect house if you have family visiting. Large bedrooms, great kitchen, beautiful picturesque living room, and awesome decks throughout the house where you can relax and unwind. Despite Judy and Scott being out of the country at the time of our stay, they checked up on us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I highly recommend families to use this house to make memories for a fun filled week at the Cape.

My family and friends have been going to the Cape together for almost 25 years . We have rented many places but we were in the same cottage for the past. 10 You could imagine how we searched for the RIGHT place to accommodate all of our wants/needs . This cottage fit the bill -- comfortable, clean, roomy, and easy access to everywhere. If you like to cook, the kitchen was well equipped . Centerville Village is pretty to either walk or ride bikes. The owners responded quickly to all our questions.

This year was our second week in this lovely New England style cottage. This property has amazing space and tremendous charm and is certainly what the Cape is all about. My one daughter took up residence in the hammock room every time we were home and has asked for her own at home. This rental is centrally located near to so much and so many of our (now) favorite restaurants. The beach is beautiful and the proximity from the house makes it so convenient.

The owner is always a pleasure to speak with and so very accommodating. We enjoyed (once again) spending a week in Craigville. Until next year...

Had a wonderful week in this beautiful home with the entire family, siblings, parents, significant others and all the kids. The short walk to the beach is great if you want to run back to the house for lunch instead of eating on the beach, and the private club access was great, so much less you have to carry with you.

The house was great -- quiet, in a great little community, with the park at one end of the path and the ocean at the other end. The house has enough areas that you can all congregate together or enough spaces where you can sneak off and enjoy a book in quiet. We enjoyed our week there and would definitely return.

Beautiful home-we had a great time! So much character and conveniently located.

This cottage is everything you need and more to enjoy the perfect Cape Cod vacation! We spent a week in this home with our family (10 of us) and couldn't have asked for more. The owner is very pleasant, accommodating and a joy to do business with! The cottage is so charming -- beautifully decorated, very spacious, stocked with everything you could need, and ideal for gatherings. We spent many peaceful evenings on the screened porch overlooking the scenic view. Perfect! The bedrooms are very cozy and lovely, too! The location is quintessentially Cape Cod! Gorgeous, quiet, friendly, picturesque community, with an easy walk to three beaches. We also enjoyed shopping on Main Street in Hyannis, an evening at the Melody Tent, trips to the Country Store and Four Seas - all a short drive from the cottage. There is so much to do on the Cape, and this home is ideally located for taking advantage of it all! The home and location exceeded our expectations! I would absolutely return and highly recommend this home!

Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed this charming cottage which abounds in historic ambiance. It's updated just enough for our modern sensibilities. We enjoyed hammocks on the sleeping porch, rocking chairs on the side porch and backgammon in the living room. The owners obviously enjoy cooking as every kitchen tool needed was there, right down to spices & a pastry brush. We used the outside grill often, and the convenience of all linens and towels provided, including beach towels, was a bonus.

The cottage is in a friendly, quiet community, easy walking distance to the beach, with the sand volley ball court a great meeting place for teens. Your plans for a second full bathroom will add to the ease of daily living, though for now the outside shower works. The house, the views, the laid back pace of the Cape rejuvenated us all.

My family spent a week in this lovely rental. It was wonderfully located a short walk or bike ride to the beach. A great beach club location where chairs were available, showers to rinse off and a snack bar that also offered lunch, so we only really needed to bring our towels and suntan lotion. We were also just a short drive to downtown. Many great shops and restaurants and things to do with the family. We were even real close to the "famous" Four Seas Ice Cream Shop and Craigville Pie Company - one of Oprah's Favorite things. Although we didn't go, the ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are also located in town.

The house offered plenty of room for lots of guests. There were also several living spaces to hang out and a fabulous screened porch with plenty of rocking chairs and a hammock to enjoy the beautiful sea air -- while overlooking the lovely pond across the street. A very relaxing place to spend a week on the Cape. I would definitely recommend!!!
