Cotuit Vacation Rental - ID 26216

This home has everything for grown up and kids both inside and out. Spacious, great cooking facilities, games, number of TVs. My grandkids used the boats and paddle boards.

The owner leaves instructions as to everything and is available for questions.

Even though we have been to the Cape many times, this was our first time in Cotuit, and the first time with our grandchildren. There were seven of us total, and we had more than enough room. This is a lovely home set in a beautiful, friendly neighborhood with such tranquil views. We would certainly book another vacation here in the future - however, our seven year old granddaughter is telling her Papa to just buy it!!

We had a lovely stay at this house, in large part because the owner is very organized with the contract and house details (which we appreciated). The house is much bigger than it looks from the pictures, easily sleeping two families with five children between us. The house has two kitchens (we only used one), many sitting rooms, 4 big bedrooms, and more. We very much enjoyed the use of the kayaks / hobie cat in the bay, and enjoyed the pool as well. Both of these were so entertaining that we decided the schlep to the beach was generally not worth it.

A few highlights -
- Grocery store in Mashpee is approx 10 min drive; a variety of shops there as well
- We enjoyed walking the quiet neighborhood and meeting some of the neighbors
- A quick drive from Boston, not too "far" into the Cape
- Some nice visits to neighboring towns (Falmouth / Woods Hole a highlight)
- Kayak / Hobie use as mentioned in the lovely bay (bay is not for swimming though)
- Great, friendly owner

A few suggestions / comments -
- The detailed contract puts a lot of the onus for the house on the renters, so be prepared for that (count the remote controls, maintain the pool or pay to have it maintained, etc)
- House is a typical rental in that it's a little tired but as I said, also very spacious
- Neighborhood roads don't have sidewalks (we run a lot) but also not SO many cars that you can't figure out a safe route

We would definitely go back. show more show less

We celebrated a number of milestone birthdays on Cape Cod this summer at this house! We had people popping in from all over the East Coast (we are mostly Californians) and we brought together quite of few family and friends to say WOOHOO. This house has two kitchens, fully stocked and lots of toys to head out on the water with. It has some unique wiring that caused us to be creative after a storm but otherwise met and exceeded our expectations for this fun week. Paul was awesome at handling the whole process. show more show less

Don't hesitate to reserve this wonderful home in Cotuit. We loved everything about the house and the quiet neighborhood. The open layout of dining/living/sunroom areas was great. Plenty of room to gather together for dinner/breakfast ... or separate from each other to read or compute. Our group was 7 retired adults but we could see what a great house it would be with children. Two of us enjoyed the kayaks on a beautiful September morning while others went off on a whale watch. We loved relaxing with cocktails on the upper deck and one evening a heron was fishing right on the little beach below the deck. One night we had a lobster dinner on the lower deck (near pool). Ordered cooked lobsters from Stop&Shop (much easier than cooking ourselves). Two other Cape friends joined us that night for dinner. We all enjoyed early morning and evening walks in the surrounding neighborhood. Do stop by the charming Cotuit General Store ... they have good food for take out. Our only dinner out was at the Kettle Ho which is not far from the house. Lots of locals there - food was good. Paul, the owner, was great. He's very organized and clearly he & his family take very good care of their beautiful home. It was very comfortable and very clean! We would definitely recommend this property to family & friends!!!

We also had the best weather to top it off!! ?? Everything about this home and property added to a perfect wknd together!! Thank you for being so accommodating to our group! We were so comfortable and felt at home immediately! The only negative was leaving ?? Highlights were kayaking to the spit, volleyball in the pool, corn hole on your front lawn and a delicious lobster boil ?? We appreciated the way your specious and beautiful home is wired up for music, TV etc and the air conditioning kept us comfortable on the hot muggy days!! We hope to return next year!! ?? Thank you again so much!! show more show less

Best summed up by the gloomy atmosphere as we left for the airport. Wonderful two weeks in which we made the most of being on the property and its extensive facilities. We should have toured more, eaten out at the many restaurants, but in the end, a home cooked meal on the balcony was everyone's favourite.

Just waiting for Paul to come up with a Loyalty card!
