Luxury Year Round Ocean Beachfront Cottage
East Sandwich Vacation Rental - ID 3925

My boyfriend and I made a trip in early April (off-season) to Greg and Jane's tastefully appointed beachfront cottage - this getaway was intended to be a break from our urban lives but ended up being so much more! Every step from reserving the cottage to checking in and out was effortless and pleasant. The owners are incredibly hospitable and we were deeply appreciative of their extra consideration of our stay - even coming by to remove storm shutters while we were out, so we could enjoy unobstructed views of the beach, which is truly just one step away.

The property is cozy and seemingly has everything you need. Because it was off-season (and COVID-19) we cooked the majority of our meals at the cottage and never for a moment did we feel shorthanded. There are plenty of shops in town with local goods. The kitchen is fully functional and we found the large dining table to be an incredibly warm and comfortable space in the house. The bathroom was surprisingly sizable and hot showers were a welcome treat after some chilly mornings on the beach. The house is in pristine condition and it appeared that the deck floors were even recently updated. The owners clearly have a lot of pride in the property and take superb care in its upkeep.

While we had the great fortune of beautiful weather and were able to spend substantial periods of time on the private beach (I think we only saw one or two other people on it for our entire visit) the cottage is so comfortable that we would have been plenty content if the weather was less accommodating. Every room has windows and the home is light drenched in the most wonderful way. The bedrooms face the marsh and we found all of the furniture to be very comfortable. We only used the main bedroom but there was a lovely bedroom with two twin beds and closet space. There are plenty of outlets, strong wifi and every creature comfort you can imagine - The owners really thought of everything: Extra blankets, robes, hairdryer, outdoor shower, professional grade flashlights in case of emergency.

Truly, there was nothing more we could have asked for. We are already planning our return trip! We cannot recommend this cottage and its hosts enough. A very special place with very positive vibes. show more show less

My husband, daughter, and I came for a weekend to have a change of scene during the COVID winter. The cottage was sparkling clean throughout, and looks out on the ocean on one side and the marsh on the other. Amazing, glorious views. It felt private and serene. Unfortunately, it was a bitter cold January weekend-- the coldest weekend they've had there over the last few years --so our walks on the beach were very brief. We mostly stayed in and read, played games, listened to music, cooked, sat by a blazing fire. The crashing of the waves was soothing, and the beach is dotted with interesting rocks and stones.

Beds were very comfortable, heat was fine, the kitchen had what we needed (though there is only a half-fridge; there is a full fridge and freezer in the walk-out basement which served as storage area for their outdoor furniture so wasn't really accessible. We kept ice cream outdoors since there was no freezer--it worked fine! ) The only drawback: we found the dining room bench and chairs and the living room furniture to be fairly uncomfortable, and since we had to spend most of our time inside, that was disappointing. Also, it would have been easier to be able to pay our deposit and balance online (Venmo or Paypal or credit card) rather than by mailing a check.

Owners were responsive and easy to work with. We would love to return sometime in weather that allows for sitting on the decks or the beach, whether in summer or off-season. Overall, we heartily recommend this cottage. show more show less

My husband and I enjoyed the cottage in December. It was beautiful. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived with red roses on the table and bose music playing in the background. The owner was great to work with. It was exceptionally clean, suppling towels and bed linens that were comfy, even had a bathrobe (felt like we were in a high-end hotel in Boston). A great break from everyday life in the covid times. We look forward to our next visit.

This is a very charming and comfortable cottage with many particularly nice features. It is filled with light even on stormy days. There are multiple outdoor seating areas making it easy to find a spot in, or out of, the sun and out of the wind (important during our stay with a few very blustery days). The views of the bay and the marsh are spectacular. The beach is excellent for walking and bird watching with only rare human sightings. Two things we particularly appreciated were the excellent lighting, including good reading lamps, and the comfortable bed with its lovely marsh view. Greg and Jane have created a wonderful haven. show more show less

Wonderful time had by my wife and I for a relaxing Cape Cod beach vacation. We had plans to do a lot of exploring but ended up most times just staying at the property all day enjoying the private beach and walking along the marsh. Home is small but cozy and well appointed. Deck area is substantial with chairs in every perfect location. Outside shower is the best!

Greg and Jane were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Cant wait to come back!

We have been staying at the cottage annually for 19 years, and are never disappointed! Greg and Jane take great pride in their cottage being a pristine, welcoming, and idyllic destination. The location could not be more perfect, with a beautiful, quiet beach immediately off of the cottage deck, to the breathtaking views of the marsh on the opposite side. It's the perfect getaway destination!

This was by far one of the best vacations we have ever had. The cottage was absolutely beautiful, well appointed including flowers that were placed throughout the cottage, which was a really nice touch. Waking up to the incredible sunrises and ending the day with gorgeous sunsets was something to look forward to each day. Being so close to the water and beach was great, and the multiple decks that surround the cottage gave you different views of the bay and marsh which was also so nice. We enjoyed grilling and preparing fresh fish and lobster from the local fish market nearby. It was truly a perfect beach vacation and we look forward to staying at the cottage again! Thank you so much Greg and Jane show more show less

This cottage was everything we hoped for from the pictures and description! The views from every window and the wrap around deck along with private beach gave us a week of absolute relaxation. It was so nice to have the beach pretty much to ourselves. We vacationed in March so we enjoyed the wood burning fireplace in the evening. All the amenities you could ask for! A perfect place to kick back and enjoy a little slice of heaven! Thanks Greg and Jane! We look forward to coming back!

We stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and I haven't stopped raving about it to anyone who will listen since we first stepped in the door. I have a picture of the view from the living area on my desk, at work. The location, the serenity, the AMAZING home were even better than expected. While there, we took in all the sights (the cottage is the ideal distance for trips to Boston, Provincetown, Martha's Vineyard, etc). From bike rides to whale watching, football, hockey and baseball games, we did it all, and each time we walked out the door, I couldn't help feel a little sad that we were leaving such a lovely place!

The view from anywhere in the cottage is INCREDIBLE. We found it to be immaculately clean with high-quality linens and very comfy beds. The kitchen was well-equipped (though we did not do much cooking, local restaurants are GREAT) and the view from the kitchen made doing the dishes enjoyable! The beach was private with interesting shells and beautiful white sand. I say I saw a seal...my husband disagrees (I think I'm right though--lol)

The Cape was a bucket list vacation for me and staying here helped make the trip even better than I could have imagined. We will definitely be returning, but this time we will schedule more time in the cottage and maybe a little less sightseeing. What an AMAZING place! Thank you for the opportunity to stay there!! show more show less

No reason to look for any other place for our Cape vacation. This cottage has it all for a relaxing week or two if you're lucky!
