3 Bedrooms, Private Subdivision, Steps From Private Beach.
Sandwich / Barnstable Vacation Rental - ID 25843

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The proximity to the private beach can't be beat, especially with young children. We enjoyed dinners on the screened in back porch, rinsing in the outdoor shower, having a washer/dryer right in the house and the availability of a bathtub for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and there were assorted beach toys, games and books available to be borrowed. The owners truly love this house - it was fun to read about its history with their family - and have worked to make it a really comfortable and relaxing place to spend a vacation. We'll be back!! show more show less

We can't say enough about our stay at this special place. The house itself was very clean, well-supplied, and exactly as described. There were a few very hot days, but the fans and screened-in porch were helpful. The beach was so close that we could all just go for as long as we wanted to and we even went back again to catch some of the Perseid meteor showers one night. Jim and Angela were so responsive to any questions we had and were easy to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to rent again!!!

Nice, charming, clean house in a great location. My family of 5 spent the last week of July here and loved it. Perfect for us. Proximity to the almost private beach made it easy to pop up to the house for anything we needed. The neighborhood was also very friendly.
We are hoping to go again next year!

We liked this place this year in July just as much as we did during our first visit in September last year. The location is great and the house is so comfortable. Having coffee in the morning on the screened back porch is our favorite. The loft was perfect for the teenage guest we had with us.

The owners are very responsive and really make sure every guest has the best experience possible. We plan to go back next summer!

We were fortunate to find a notice showing this cottage available at a reduced rate for just a few days instead of a full week. We found the cost to be more affordable for us and were very pleased with how nice as well as helpful the owners were with accommodating our needs, and their descriptions of the cottage were spot on! The cottage was beautiful and clean, the location great and the accessibility of the beautiful private beach was extraordinary, even for we elderly folks! We especially enjoyed the screened in back porch with ceiling fan. We spent a great deal of time out there as the weather was extremely hot and humid during our stay. The ceiling fans throughout the cottage were great, but the window air conditioners in the two bedrooms were a life-saver for sleeping comfortably.

The kitchen was very well-equipped (everything we needed was right at our fingertips), the beds and living room were very comfortable and it was all very quaint! Jim and Angela, the owners, were great, and we certainly hope we are able to return at a later date for another relaxing and carefree vacation! show more show less

We absolutely loved this laid back cottage.We rented for two long weekends in June and also for one week in August. The proximity to the beach—a two minute walk—is a super big plus as was the screened porch. It is very private and has so much yard space for kids to run around for games of all type. It is located in a friendly family neighborhood. You are quick to meet people either on the boardwalk leading to beach or on the beach.

The house and kitchen had everything you could need. The room A/C's and ceiling fans were used only on the hottest days. Enough beach chairs for all. A Pack n' Play for the little one. The outdoor shower was an additional great option. It is a short drive from the Sagamore Bridge. There is plenty to do in the area: paddle Scorton Creek, freshwater ponds, bike trails a short drive away, whale watch from Barnstable Harbor.

Jim quickly responds to emails and texts. I would not hesitate to rent this home again. I highly recommend it. show more show less

This house is quintessential Cape Cod! It is in a neighborhood with a great proximity to the beach, as well as a very nice place to ride our bikes. The house had everything we could possibly need, and we enjoyed every minute spent there. I would not hesitate to rent this home again.

We were visiting the Cape for our nephew's wedding and this house was perfect. It had everything that we needed for our stay and more. We wish that we were able to enjoy the gorgeous outside screen porch but the weather just did not cooperate. Would definitely rent again.

My wife and I had a wonderful week in this great Cape Cod home. It is quaint and very accessible to the beach. It has everything you need to have a good vacation week.

My wife, toddler, and I spent Labor Day weekend at Jim and Angela's wonderful cottage by the beach in Sandwich. The cottage is cozy and extremely family friendly and is very close to the beach. The bedrooms are cozy and bathroom is perfectly functional. The place has a smart TV that you can use to sign into your Netflix and watch on a rainy day. The backyard is wonderful and a good place to let your kid run around and burn off energy when they're not at the beach. The family friendliness extends to the fact they have a baby gate available to block access to the stairs. There's a lot of these small touches that make the place especially family friendly.

The kitchen is stocked with basic cookware and plates and is sufficient for basic meal preparation. If you, however, are a gourmet, I would suggest bringing your own knives and pans. I did not get to try the grill because the weather was not suitable. The coffee maker wasn't working when we were there and we improvised (I plan to carry my Aeropress next time).

The weather was quite cold that weekend and so our beach time was limited to one and a half warm days, but those times were great. You can smell the ocean perfectly from the front yard, and my son automatically knew the location of the beach and started running to the ocean. The beach is a wonderfully large strip of land with soft sand and stunning views of the ocean.

The views of the night sky from the backyard are stunning - as someone who grew up in one of the world's most populated cities I never realized how much light occurs at night during a full moon.

We only got to try the outdoor shower once during the weekend because it was too cold the rest of the time but I plan to try it more next time.

Jim is incredibly responsive to emails, texts, and concerns and always responded to us within minutes of a question. There weren't too many questions because everything is self-explanatory.

We absolutely loved this place and are coming back for a week this summer. I highly recommend it. I've already recommended this place to friends. show more show less
