Cozy House On The Cape Cod Canal

Newley renovated house on Cape Cod Canal

With new renovated home kitchen (eats 10 now) new stove, bedrooms, and baths on the Cape Cod Canal. 4 bedroom, 2 bath home, you will feel just at home with this cozy feeling. The house is set up to sleep comfortably 12.

At night sit by our new fire pit on the newly cleared lot. Let the kids hit a wiffel ball or throw a football all while enjoying the fire pit.

There is AC in the house so you don't need to worry about sweating at night.

Take a walk or jog right out the front door on the beautiful Cape Cod Canal. You want seafood? We got you covered as the famous Lobster Trap is just a few minutes down the road. After that go enjoy an amazing waffle cone with homemade ice cream from the Whistle Stop!!!

During the day you can enjoy the private beach setting at the Mashnee Island Dyke just minutes away or go to the public Monument Beach.

If you have kids check out Water Wizz less then 10 miles away as well.

Wedding in Buzzards Bay

This was a perfect VRBO for our large group; we were all travelling from New Hampshire and Maine to attend a wedding in Buzzards Bay. It easily accommodated our group of 8, comfortable beds, very clean house, the kitchen was well stocked with many small items that we didn't bring ourselves ( condiments for cooking etc). Matt was gracious to allow us an earlier entry because I made the cake and needed to get it out of our car after a 4 hour drive in the summer weather!BIG PLUS on that one, thank you Matt! Proximity to the venue made it easy to go back and forth without issues over the course of the weekend, and it was also nice and quiet, yard surrounded by trees with a sweet little porch off the kitchen to enjoy coffee in the mornings. All in all, highly recommended for those trying to gather a larger group than many other properties can accommodate in the Buzzards Bay area!

Overall great experience

First appearance walking in, the house was clean. Definitely could use a little better cleaning in the kitchen and in some other areas. Sleeps 12 comfortably but could use more table seating as there was only 4 chairs in the kitchen. We ended up using the patio table in the living room for more table space with the large group we had and it worked out. The owner was very accommodating, allowed us to check in early and was very easy to communicate with, fast response times!!

Fine House

Dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer and 2 out of 4 burners on the stove were broken. Also, the ice/water in the door of the refrigerator was not set up. Beds were fine & linens clean. Plenty of towels for the beach. No dish towels or wash cloths and very few hand towels. Sectional couch has seen better days. Did not use the fold out bed. Seating for 4 at the high top table in the kitchen; seating for 4 at the patio set on the deck.

Very close to canal!

In walking distance to the canal, was close to a few small beaches as well. House was very clean, we went with a bunch of small children so there wasn’t a ton of room for them to run around in the backyard but other than that, great stay! Air conditioning in all of the bedrooms.

Spiders everywhere

The check in process was great, the overall location was good. However, the house did not seem clean at all. There were spiders and on the ceilings and spiders in the showers and downstairs bathroom. Sheets did not look clean and kitchen had dirty dishes in the sink. Also, there was no extra paper towels or anything. The rating would be a lot higher if the house was more clean.

Overall good stay

The house was good! Good size size space and most of the rooms were very clean. I have 2 minor disappointments. The propane for the grill was completely empty, it was advised in the listing the house had a grill. The other was the coffee pot has mold inside of it so we could not use that. Overall all I was happy with my stay!

Avoid this property

Could not access property even after contacting owner. No real AC. Property was dirty. Racoon caught in trap in front of kitchen. Seating for only 4 people in kitchen. Not worth the price. Find somewhere else.

Perfect big family weekend

We were thrilled with this house. The location is just outside Falmouth so you're close enough to the town and ferry. Great recommendations with the lobster place up the street. First impression, walked in and it smelled amazingly clean. We were instantly pleased. Big, spacious rooms with comfortable beds. A huge living room area. The Bluetooth in the kitchen was an added touch. Bathrooms were clean and big, one newer than the other. Though we didn't hang outside much, there is a little deck. The owner was very responsive and quick with replies. Overall, highly satisfied.

Would not recommend

I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was one of my worst experiences. The owner/property manager communicated poorly, which was extremely frustrating. His response time was slow, and when he did finally respond he was not hospitable. We received no check-in instructions until a few hours before arrival (and I had to message him to request it), he provided no check-out instructions (and, again, I had to message him to request it). The home was not cleaned well. To be specific, the comforter on the downstairs bed had, what appeared to be, some type of human fluid on it. And the pillow covering on the upstairs bed had some type of dried liquid on it as well. We had to wash the bedding prior to sleeping in the beds. There was, what appeared to be, a large booger on the side of the kitchen table, and handprint and smudges all over the walls. Closets were filthy and filled with junk. The front yard had bags of trash piled by the curb; it smelled and animals got into it. If good communication and cleanliness is important to you, I would not recommend this home. Renting these homes is expensive, and owners/property managers of these properties need to understand that by listing their home, they are agreeing to enter the service industry, and with that comes the responsibility and expectation to ensure that guests receive great service and an excellent experience.

Great location perfect for a quick getaway

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Close to beaches and the canal walk. House was clean and beds were very comfy. Plenty of room for our family of 7. Matt was very responsive and we appreciated being able to drop off our cars and gear early on check in day. Thank you

Felt like home away from home.

One of the cleanest place I have ever rented. We rented the place for a weekend to attend the wedding at country club which was only 10 mins away. Rooms are big and spacious. Our experience as group was great. Would definently rent it again.

Perfect spot along canal for PMC weekend

This was a perfect spot for part of our Pan-Mass Challenge cycling team to spend Saturday night. Comfortable beds, A/C, room to relax, and importantly, on the other side of the Bourne bridge from MMA, and very close to the canal for the start of Sunday's ride. Matthew was terrific and incredibly responsive to all our questions. I highly recommend his place!

Softball gang

We stayed at the house while we were in town for a softball tournament for my daughter. The house was very accommodating to the field and local beaches. I know some reviews mention the train, the train is very close but it hardly runs. Although the house looks small on the outside it was plenty big enough for 3 families and nicely renovated. Beds were comfortable. The only downfall was no toaster and it needs more utensils. I Would highly recommend this house. Thanks for the hospitality.

Nice stay

This was the perfect house for our group of 10 going to a wedding nearby. The interior was nice and clean. All of the necessities were there. Beds were nice and comfortable. We loved the California King! One room had no working light, and there was some trash scattered on the front lawn by an animal or trash collector, but no big issues otherwise. We appreciated the air conditioning!

not in line with description and expectations

the house owner did not respond to any of our numerous attempts (and those of VRBO) to contact him and we therefore for actually unclear until the very end whether hand-over was going to happen (we only received the hand-over information on the day our rent begun). The sheets were not clean and we had to wash the bed closing upon our arrival. We were a party of twelve people and while there were enough beds, the kitchen could only seat 8 people so we were not really able to eat at home. The gas for the grill was empty and was not replaced despite several requests vis-à-vis the landlord. All in all not we expected for that price.

Home Away from Home

Our family of 9 enjoyed this home to have as our 'base camp' for a family reunion event held in the area. It had all the comforts of home, very clean, very comfortable place - the beds too! Nice linens and towels. It had good parking, good location and easy access. Never ran out of hot showers, good a/c for hot and humid weather. We enjoyed the easy 3 minute walk to the canal pathway for a morning walk. A fun surprise was the corn hole game and the train that came by only a couple times a day! We also enjoyed use of the Bose speaker in the Kitchen while hanging out. We ate at Lobster Trap - twice (it is so good - go early). We had plans to go to Whistle Stop for ice cream but one nephew said Somerset Creamery was much better - and it was the best Ice Cream of our trip! Highly recommend this place!

New renovation still needs a bit of work!

Overall the house was in pretty good condition inside. Newly renovated it's on the way to being finished but not quite! There was ample parking and large tv's. Nice to have sheets & towels included, but the beds in the bunk room downstairs had no top sheets. It was obvious the cleaning crew was a bit lax so being charged such a hefty cleaning fee the expectation was it would be spotless when we arrived. Personal items were in all the bathrooms leaving little room for our own shampoo, soap, etc. There were dirty towels in the upstairs bathroom & the freezer was malfunctioning-we had to put a towel on the kitchen floor beneath the freezer door to absorb the water leaking. A call was placed to the phone number provided to report issues, but no response. There were items behind each of the beds in 3 of the 4 bedrooms (bottle of water, bag of snacks, deodorant, bowl of change), carpet remnants left on the floor in the downstairs bunk room. There were staples & some LEGO parts on the rug in the living room-discovered by stepping on something sharp! There is still painter's tape around the slider in the kitchen, mirrors are standing up leaning against walls waiting to be hung up, & price tags have been left on the lamps. Although there is sleeping for 12 if you plan on having meals at the house be prepared: you'll have plenty of plates and bowls, only 6 coffee mugs and wine glasses, no toaster or toaster oven, 1 small frypan & 2 saucepans, 6 butter knives, although plenty of forks & spoons. The house abuts the railroad tracks & trains pass through both in the morning & the evening. The description says you can walk to the canal-Shore Rd is a busy street with no sidewalks so there is no way the kids can walk to the canal esp in the summer. I would recommend adding a picnic table to the backyard for additional seating, providing locations for the list of restaurants/shops that were recommended, perhaps start a restaurant folder. If the house renovation is finished, personal health & other products removed from bathrooms & bedrooms, & a better cleaning service hired the rating would improve. I had to contact the owner/mgr numerous times prior to check-in to get information as all financial details were handled through the website including the check in details as they were never provided. Other rentals I have worked directly with owner-lease and payment separate from website-prefer doing it that way & will look for those types of rentals in the future.
