OCEANFRONT Home on Private Beach w/ Kayaks & A/C
East Sandwich Vacation Rental - ID 25169

"Thank you! Your cottage is beautiful! The cleanest, best decorated & well equipped cottage we have ever rented. We tried the ferry to Nantucket -- great place! Beautiful & lots to do. Locally we enjoyed Seafood Sams, Ice Cream Sandwich & shopping at Cuffys. The week went too fast! The beach bags were greatly appreciated :)"

This beautiful, clean and bright beach house was perfect for our family. Two bedrooms upstairs were more than enough room for my husband and I with our two kids (ages 3 and 5) while my very active parents enjoyed the master bedroom downstairs (with its own bathroom and epic shower).

The back patio is private and has latched gates so the kids could be out there playing (waiting for us to walk down the stairs to the beach...) while we were inside.

It was a really great stay. We had one random appliance issue and the homeowner was very attentive in helping us resolve it. She was helpful and easy to communicate with, followed up to make sure everything was continuing to work fine after issue was resolved.

We had a beach fire almost every night. Neighbors were friendly. We met the homeowners on our last day on our way out. Wonderful people.

It was a fantastic stay, perfect fit for our family, and I would absolutely recommend vacationing here.

This is a terrific place to stay whilst visiting Cape Cod. The property is full of character, very comfortable and well-equipped, with the owners having clearly thought through everything a guest may need. The best part though has to be the location - right on the beach. It's a privilege to be literally a few steps to your own section of paradise. The beach is huge, has lovely views and yet is almost deserted. We loved walking for miles in such a tranquil setting, kayaking, swimming, watching the sun go down, having BBQs...

As we own a holiday cottage complex in Somerset, England, we are probably rather picky - and we would pick this cottage again and again. Ann was very helpful, with lots of advice for us Brits! We loved going to Ice Cream Sandwich, the Fisherman's View Restaurant, whale-watching from P'town but above all just relaxing here. We looked at loads of properties before choosing this Oceanfront cottage - you don't need to look any further than here!

Thank you both for sharing your cottage. We had a wonderful week! Thanks again! (Text from last day)

Anything and everything you need is in this beach house! Clean, comfy, and well equipped from inside out. The owners are very responsive and helpful, emailing us links, ideas, and activities for our kids in the area! Steps bring you right onto a private beach for days of complete relaxation and enjoyment! Great beach and house for families!

Thank you for the pie, jelly and allowing us to share your home for a week. We were not sure what to expect from the house to the town and surrounding areas but in the end we were pleasantly surprised. The kayaks were fun...it was the first time for us to ever use them. The cottage was lovely inside and out. We loved how private it was, especially on the beach. The traffic was the worst part but the friendliness of everyone made up for that! We went to local shops/galleries and purchased a few pieces to bring a little of the Cape back to our homes. We can't believe it's over already but we did enjoy ourselves.
Thanks again (From email)

This is our second stay at this beautiful home and we are already planning our return! We have found it provides the perfect combination of privacy and a natural setting, yet is close to everything we needed. The owner is great to work with, and has everything so well organized and labeled, with helpful information all collected in a binder. We especially loved the well-equipped kitchen with a brand new oven/stove this year. The owner has meticulously stocked the kitchen with every spice and utensil that one could want (including a pizza peel we used for delicious grilled pizza). We also loved having cook fires right on our own private beach. The kayaks (brand new this year) kept our teenage children busy, and they loved being able to jump in the water whenever they liked. The owner is constantly adding new touches and has thought of everything to make your vacation relaxing. We can't wait to come back to this true treasure, simply the best place on the Cape!

We have stayed here before and love it. This house is beautiful inside and out! We love renting this house. It couldn't be more perfect! Thank you, Cathy, for everything!!

Hi - Our pleasure! We had a fabulous time. You've really thought of every convenience and made the home very welcoming, enjoyable and most importantly easy! Thanks again. (From Email)

We stayed (and reviewed) this cottage last year, but I wanted to update our review. We were so pleased when we arrived this year to return to this beautifully decorated cottage. Every room is so beautifully and professionally decorated, and the owners have given so much thought to the premises. Everything you possibly could want is included in the kitchen, and I noted they had upgraded the oven/range with a lovely new glass top appliance. We love to cook, and enjoyed both the kitchen and a nice little grill on the patio.

Additionally, they had made many other improvements to an already wonderful property. In addition to a canoe, they now have a kayak available, and new steps have been built down to the beach. They also have a nice gas fire pit available this year. My daughter and her husband noted there were many new board games and enjoyed several epic scrabble matches.

But, amenities aside, the best part for me was the total peace and quiet. Bird song, the nature sounds of waves and wind off the bay were so restful. Yet, for those who want to go and do, the location is close to almost everywhere on the Cape.

For those who may follow us, be sure to visit Heritage Gardens and see the extensive antique car collection. We picnicked and enjoyed the gardens, car collection, and carousel, and this year they have an exhibit of movie costumes on display.

I sure hope the Vacation Gods will be kind to us, and allow us to return once more to Sandwich, and to this marvelous cottage on the shore!

We had a lovely time at your cottage! It is lovely!
Thank you so very much! (From Email)

Cottage is wonderful!

We had a wonderful family vacation (with two teenage children) on Cape Cod at this lovely cottage. The setting right by the water was beautiful. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed including a grill, beach chairs, linens, beach towels, a fully stocked kitchen, and a full size washer and dryer. The large flat screen TV in the great room was an added plus. We loved having three large bedrooms (gorgeous views from second floor bedrooms) with two king sized beds and a queen sized bed. It is located near grocery stores and several charming ice cream shops and local restaurants. The sunsets were amazing and we enjoyed our nightly fires on the beach with s'mores. It was easy for us to travel to other parts of the Cape including Hyannis for catching the high speed ferry to Nantucket. We had fun going to several Cape Cod league baseball games. A relaxing, peaceful week.

A slice of heaven in Cape Cod! This beautiful home captures the true spirit of a dream Cape Cod vacation. The owners have meticulously updated this cottage to a perfect blend of original beauty and modern amenities. The open floor plan invites the entire family to gather, and the kitchen is equipped with everything one could think of, including an ice cream maker. The natural setting of the private beach is truly spectacular, and our family really enjoyed being steps away from the water. A very authentic beach experience. We are already planning our next stay!

My family and I just stayed at this beach cottage and we had a great time! The cottage is located in a gorgeous area and was beyond our expectations. The bedrooms are beautiful, the beds are so comfortable and the sea salt ocean breeze absolutely delightful. The bathrooms are clean and good looking. We loved the open main living area -it's cute, colorful and fun, and with the kitchen and dining areas right there, we could all be together while cooking, having a meal, playing games or watching a movie. The patio out back is lovely and private, but the best part is that the private beach is just steps out the back door! The owners are very thoughtful and seem to anticipate ones every need in the way they have equipped their home and take care of you. Its a very beautiful COTTAGE, and we had a GREAT vacation! We plan to come back again and again!

We have just concluded a week at the beach at this wonderful cottage. Everything was simply perfect. It was a great floor plan, beautifully decorated. I have back problems and the master bedroom had a very comfortable mattress. I did not suffer any back aches as I often do sleeping away from home. The beach was right at the back door. There is a wonderful small deck at the top of the dunes where I enjoyed sitting and watching the sunset each evening. The kitchen was great and very well supplied so my son-in-law, who is a foodie and terrific cook, was able to enjoy making some of his specialties for all of us. My son grilled some on the outdoor grill, and we enjoyed the ample seating at the picnic tables in the back porch. There is plenty of parking. The kind owners allow a canoe of theirs to be used if you wish, and there is a shed chock full of beach chairs and other supplies. A nice touch was that the cottage was supplied with milk, butter, eggs, and a specialty loaf of bread for us, making that first day a lot easier. The cottage was well located for us to explore any direction - rather centrally located - so it did not take that long to get to either end of the Cape. Our family really loves the outdoors, and we appreciated how quiet it was at night, and how many birds there were and the conservation nature trails nearby. I hope to rent this cottage again. We have rented quite a few times, in Nantucket, and at the Outer Banks and Hilton Head, and of all the summer rentals, this was one of our favorite places.

We felt lucky to find this serene place on the Cape as it was easy for our family arriving from all over the country. The back patio became the evening gathering for happy hour, grilling and major bean bag toss competitions. The wooden steps led to the private beach where we then enjoyed a nightly bonfire. We had paddle boards delivered to the door and had a blast on the water each day. The house has a perfect layout for hanging out together; an open great room, large dining table and two very clean bathrooms. The location right on the beach, we never slept so well in the very comfortable beds. We gladly look forward to returning, the owners were very kind and so helpful with suggestions and information. It is a peaceful, special place to truly vacation.

We have stayed here several times throughout the year and every stay is memorable. Both my kids love it and always ask when are we going back. It's very private and cozy. It's just feet away from the beach and water, minutes away from stores and site seeing. The home and grounds are clean and well kept and inviting. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a private and relaxing getaway!
