    The Quintessential Cape Cottage

    This home was just right for our family. It was a very clean, classic cape cottage (pictures true to life), with a nice open concept design and vaulted ceiling in the living room. The location was great – a quaint neighborhood just a quick walk from the beach and a few minute's drive to downtown Chatham and Harwich. We loved the big deck for breakfast, reading, birdwatching (and the occasional nap :)). We hope to return again - thank you Joan!

    Needs Love

    Appreciate the owner letting us in one day early. Nice neighborhood for walking. 2 beaches close - the 3rd is a longer walk which is not practical with young kids and beach stuff. Have to pay for parking permit for that one. Nicely situated between Harwich and Chatham. Plenty of cleaning supplies.

    Unfortunately, we did not find the house to our liking. Musty smell throughout. Plenty of fans, which needed to be on all the time to keep the air moving. No AC. Beautiful bay window with note that it couldn't be opened! House did not appear to be cleaned prior to arrival - lots of cobwebs, dead bugs in window sills. I spent a lot of time cleaning.

    Lots of kitchen stuff, but all felt sticky and needed cleaning. Plates with dried on food, glasses and mugs with mouth marks, coffee pot left with coffee in it! We washed all that we needed and left it on the counter for reuse, and bought paper products. No dishwasher. No table indoors for eating or games - only kitchen counter. Microwave, fridge and toaster all nice and worked. Did not use the oven.
    Queen and Full bedrooms dark, cobwebs, musty.
    Twin bedroom brighter, but also dirty. One headboard that banged against the wall (my husband fixed); no bedside tables or lamps for reading.
    Tiny bathroom, with old-style vanity and toilet. No grab bars (my 85 year old mother had trouble navigating the shower). Water pressure in the shower was good.
    Back deck was ok - husband hosed that all off, including furniture - cushions dirty, stained, some with tears.
    Outdoor shower accessed via deck stairs - railing only went part way and mom couldn't manage it. Water had not been turned on - called owner, who called plumber, who came next day. First use and the shower head broke off when my husband tried to adjust it. Corroded. Called owner - took a couple of days for plumber to come back. We never bothered to use it.
    Washer/Dryer accessed via deck stairs (opposite end from shower stairs), down lawn and under deck. Creepy, buggy and musty. Owner did leave detergent.
    One TV. Seating not comfortable. We moved some chairs so mom would be more comfortable. WiFi worked, but we didn't stream.

    I feel bad writing a negative review and hesitated doing it. But when I look at places online, I pay particular attention to the reviews. The owner seemed genuinely nice and responsive when I advised of the shower issues. I am a bit of a neat-freak - if you expect a rental that's like a "camp", this may be fine for you. I expected it to be more updated and cared for, like my home, so I was disappointed. It really needs some TLC!!!

    Owner Response:

    This review was a surprise to us. We have never had such problems with a renter before this year. We are sorry you were disappointed in our cottage - our home is not for everyone. We do not list A/C or a dishwasher on the list of amenities, but can spell this out in the description loud and clear in the future. It is also not advertised as handicapped equipped. Let's go through the other concerns:

    1) There must have been a misunderstanding on the bay window. We ask that the side windows on it be opened using only the frame, not the inserts, but the side windows surely open and close. We are sorry if the note was misleading to you.
    2) We did have our cleaning service do a spring deep cleaning as well as go in prior to your arrival for a pre-renter cleaning. It does not seem like enough was done based on your feedback, and we wish you had contacted us so we could have had that corrected straight away.
    3) Pictures are provided on the website so you can see all the rooms. Kitchen and eat-in bar area, bedrooms with paneling and furnishings, den, deck, etc. All furnishing can be seen in these and that is what we advertise and provide so the renters can determine if their needs will be met.
    4) There is no special handicap accommodation and none are advertised other than it is a ranch style cottage with one step into it. All deck railings are up to code and confirmed for safety yearly by the home insurance company. We are certainly sorry that your 85 year old mother had difficulties.
    5) Washer and dryer are in the cellar. It is not "creepy." It is a standard, unfinished, full size cellar.
    6) Unfortunately the outdoor shower wasn't turned on by the plumber at the beginning of the season as usually is done, and unluckily the shower head reached its end of life as well during your stay. We are sorry for these inconveniences and worked to remedy them immediately while you were there.

    Our home is advertised as a cape cottage and as such is not a modern home, but is also not a "camp." Your expectations after viewing our pictures and description of the cottage seem to be overzealous and that would account for some of your disappointment. Our cottage is certainly cared for. Over the last 2 years we have put in all new windows and French door to the deck among other things. We love it there and strive to have an honest, good place for vacationers who stay to enjoy as well. It was definitely not a match for your wants and needs. We hope you find a vacation home closer to your needs in the future.
    Sincerely,
    Joan

    Not Perfect But Solid and Affordable

    This cottage is in an absolutely charming setting on an unpaved lane. The lot is wooded with mostly oaks and some pine, and feels quite private though there are neighbors all around. Very nice neighborhood for walking. We particularly enjoyed the walk to Red River Beach. Ordered dinner from The Talkative Pig and also from Bucca. Delicious. The location is conveniently close to everywhere we wanted to go.

    The cottage itself is not updated but the owner has been very thoughtful about supplies and furnishings. Not luxury, but comfortable enough. The cottage had been shut up for a week prior to our arrival as the owner deliberately left time between rentals in order to increase safety during the Covid19 pandemic, which we appreciated. Consequently, there was quite a musty smell when we first arrived but this cleared up with an airing out and use of the many fans on the property. Found everything we needed in the kitchen and made some great meals there. Used the grill on the back deck, where we ate most meals and spent quite a bit of relaxing time. The deck was sunny for morning coffee and shady the rest of the day. No air conditioning, but many fans were provided. Owner was responsive to small issues that arose during our stay and clearly cares about the property and her renters. Some windows were being replaced sometime after our stay which will help. There is a skylight that you can open and really helps with air circulation show more show less

    Quiet and Comfortable.

    We spent an August week at this lovely house. Despite other houses being nearby, the location is quiet and private. The house is comfortable in the way a vacation home should be: clean and casual. The house easily accommodates six or seven people. We particularly enjoyed the large deck with grill and comfortable furniture and the short walk to the beach.

    Very nice home

    We have rented on the Cape for 3 years with the same budget and this by far was our favorite. The space is excellent for family and friends with plenty of places to sit if it's sunny or rainy. The bike trail to Chatham is easy to get to without riding on busy roads. Of course it is a short walk to the Sound. We prefer swimming at Nauset and it is an easy 20 + minute drive.

    The home was immaculate. We had teenagers and my parents staying at the same time and there was enough room for all. The kitchen has an excellent set up and is fully stocked, no dishwasher, but that is a chore for those who don't do the cooking! We stayed with 2 teenagers with other guests arriving and leaving during the week. The twin room is on the other side of the great room and was where 4 teenage girls hung out when home from the beach and they wanted privacy. There was an epic Monopoly game which went on in the great room as well. Cable TV has NESN, if you want to watch the Red Sox. We hope to return again. It got a thumbs up from everyone. Thank you, Joan. show more show less

    We rented on the cape for over twenty years before we purchased this cottage so we know that it is important to have a good, honest place for our guests. This is our summer cottage which we use and rent out for several weeks each summer.. We want it to be comfortable for both ourselves and those who rent from us.

    What is special about this property?
    We love the quietness of our cottage. It is near everything you want to do...beaches, restaurants, shopping, biking ,etc but it also is on a quiet side road and you can hear the birds signing as you recline on the back deck.

    What is special about your town?
    Chatham has everything. Good food, good beaches, good shopping .while maintaining the charm of cape cod.
