Another visit to the cottage

This is our second stay at the Seaside Cape Cod Bungalow. Elaine is always a pleasure to work with, which makes traveling that much easier. The cottage is always clean. This year she has added a new couch and chairs in the living room. It's nice to have a washer and dryer but fun to hang things on the line, there seems to always be a breeze. It's a nice area to walk if that's your thing. The walk to the beach is easy. Very convenient to town and the ferry, if you are taking a trip to visit Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. Would not hesitate to stay here.

Thank you for returning to our peaceful spot and for highlighting the amenities of our area. It's always great to renew old ties with acquaintances who become new friends. We are located centrally on the Cape so it is easy to venture even farther Up or Down Cape. Each year we try to upgrade the bungalow with whatever it needs to be comfortable for our guests. The fall is beautiful here with migration happening and unique light for photographers to catch the action. We look forward to a special fall season!

Nice clean cottage close to the beach

We've been coming here for a few years now and really enjoy it. The cottage is very clean and updated. Perfect size for our family of four. One beach is a five minute walk away and is perfect for the little ones and their boogie boards. There are other beaches close by for variety. In general it's great if you have young kids because there are plenty of things around the area to do, and the mall area has you covered if you need anything. The Cape Cod Hospital is also a few minutes away. We needed it once so that's a plus.

The owners are great people and very responsive if there are any issues. We will be coming back!

Thank you for staying with us again this year and for your kind words. The Norris Cottages Family is growing! It is great to have return guests who know the area and can ease into their vacation knowing the property and its amenities. We welcome our new guests with all the details and great suggestions for activities and exploration of the Cape. We pride ourselves on attending to any needs as soon as we know about them. Life happens and we hope we make it better for our guests. Thanks again and here's to a great rest of the summer and anticipation of a wonderful season next year.

Awesome property!

This is the second time that my family has stayed at a Norris property on Cape Cod and as always we were not disappointed!

The cottage had everything we needed (even a plentiful amount of disinfectant supplies and soaps). The property is furnished perfectly and is located within a very short walking distance to the beach.

Staying at this property saved us a significant amount of money in beach parking. It is also centrally located - with just a short 1ish mile drive to the hustle and bustle of Main Street and it's many offerings. We were able to comfortably accommodate our Grandmother who has mobility difficulties.

The amenities are perfect! We would recommend this property and the owners to anyone and we are already planning our next vacation to one of their beautiful seaside cottages. Thank you Elaine & Mark!

Thank you for staying with us again. We enjoy the opportunity to provide a safe, comfortable home to our guests so they can relax and reconnect with family. Our own family reunions here have been memorable and precious. Our location is special; quiet by the seaside and centrally located to all the features of the Cape. We look forward to hosting you in the future. Stay well :)

Absolutely fantastic location close to everything in a quiet location on a dead end street.

Owner Elaine was fabulous to work with. Clear instructions and very attentive to all details. The cottage is older but was very clean and well stocked with everything you may need. The cottage also has a newer air conditioning unit which is a plus during those humid days.

We will definitely return.

Great stay

My family and I had a wonderful time. Property was at a great location on the Cape, plus 5 minute walk to a small beach and 15 minute walk to Main Street, were there are cute shops and ice cream. Elaine was great communicator and seemed to take great pride in the Cape and wanting us to enjoy our stay. I have only good to say.

Convenient and nice cottage

Enjoyed staying at the seaside cape cod bungalow. The cottage is a short walk to the beach. It was handy to have a washer and dryer and clothes line too. Even though there is only one bathroom, the outside shower was wonderful. There is a nice deck to sit on and plenty of chairs.

Elaine was wonderful to work with! Enjoyed talking to her. They were right on it when the internet didn't work and also brought a new beach chair. A cart for the beach would be a nice addition. Part of renting places is the response of the owners and they were super!! We will rent again when we make our next trip to the cape!

Weekend trip to Hyannis
Elaine and John were great hosts for my wife and I during our weekend stay @ Norris Cottages. Elaine provided detailed instructions on the check-in/out process and also tips to help use appliances in the cottage. She also offered great tips on different things to see and do for first-timers to the Cape. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again!

HANDS DOWN the best cottage and hosts EVER!!
If you're looking for the cutest Cape Cod cottage 3 minutes from the beach, this is your place. Not only is the location perfect, but Elaine and John go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Elaine was so accommodating — it rained during our stay and she checked in to make sure we were okay the entire time. Cape Cod is stunning and I would come back just to stay in this cottage and hopefully meet Elaine and John! Thank you again for letting us book this beautiful cottage. Can't wait to come back again!

Wonderful cottage with all the modern amenities!
Elaine and John's home is comfortable, clean, well appointed, and beautiful. The cottage is stocked with everything you need. It felt like home from the moment we walked in. My husband, 2 young children, and I eased right into our stay. It is a 5 minute (or less) walk to the beach making it easy to go back if you forget anything or if you have little ones that nap. The bunk beds were a big hit with our son. You cannot beat the location of this house, situated within a 5 minute drive to downtown, restaurants, and tons of stores. We loved everything about our stay here. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer! Elaine is lovely and was very quick to respond to all my emails. We will certainly be back to stay again!

Norris Street
We had a fantastic time at this adorable cottage. We had everything we needed, communication with Elaine was great. Location can't be beat a short walk to Keyes Memorial which was a great beach, not crowded and the water perfect for swimming. Short walk to downtown Hyannis as well and a small market just a few steps away for any quick needs. We had a wonderful stay and couldn't be happier with our vacation ;)

Great base for a Cape Cod vacation
The place was perfect for our Cape Cod getaway. Centrally located so that you can see the whole Cape using it as a base. Walk to beach, Cape Cod league baseball and shops and places to eat. Perfect for our family of 4 but room for a few more if needed. Hosts greeted us warmly and gave great tips for the local area.

Cosy house with great location for enjoying a quiet beach and exploring the whole Cape
We really enjoyed our stay at 23 Norris St. The house is located a very short walk to a decent beach and just 10-15 mins walk from the shops and restaurants on Hyannis Main St. It's on a nice, quiet street with friendly neighbours. We hired a car so were very well located for exploring the full breadth of the Cape, from Woods Hole (45 mins) to ship the car onto Martha's Vineyard for a great day out, to another fantastic day at the opposite end in Provincetown (60 mins). Elaine's communications with us before, during and after our stay were perfect: friendly, responsive, informative, and easy to understand. After initially booking 29 Norris St, we agreed to stay at 23 Norris St to allow the owners to proceed without disrupting another long-term booking they had. The house was cosy and included all the basic amenities our party needed (3 adults, and 2 young kids - 4yo and a 10-month old). The kitchen had a good range of equipment for making a wide range of big family meals. The garage also had a good range of beach toys and equipment that saved us from having to buy or carry our own stuff. We also really appreciated that Elaine made the effort to buy a travel cot (aka Pac'n'Play) and bedding to accommodate our 10-month old son.

Exceptional Cape Cottage
A perfectly situated and well-appointed home for our small family. We appreciated the convenient location, the quiet street and the proximity to all that you could wish for, including the beach and town. The Owners are exceptional and the cottage was neat as a pin. It offered everything we needed - and more than we expected. The water at nearby Keyes Memorial Beach was unexpectedly warm, and the shoreline scattered with sea life to explore. Downtown restaurants were exceptional (Pizza Barbone, Alberto's Ristorante and Sea StreetCafe for breakfaster lunch - be sure to order the Clam Chowder!). The cottage's proximity to Mayflower Beach in Dennis, to the Kennedy Compound and to the high-speed ferry to Nantucket was excellent. The cottage made us feel at home, but also 'at-the-Cape'. We were thrilled to be there. Most highly recommended!
