Cozy little cape house in a quite neighborhood

We spend a week in Cape Cod and staying at Laura & Chris’s home. The location is great for us, it’s very residential and not too far away from the beaches, ferry ports and other attractions. The house is clean and fully equipped, comfortably accommodates two adults and two kids. Laura is very responsive and check in and out is super easy. Beach pass is a plus, and yes, I would recommend this place if you plan to visit Cape Cod by car.

Great cape cod getaway

We had a beautiful week at this cottage which was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas. The beach is very close by, 15 minute walk and the parking pass was very convenient. The beach was large and not overcrowded and had life guards on site. The area is great with cute shops in Hyannis.

Perfect Beach Vacation Spot!

We loved this place! It is so close to everything (beach, restaurants, Four Seas Ice Cream, etc,) but is also in a nice quiet neighborhood, so you get the best of both worlds. The bikes and beach pass were added bonuses and the house was awesome! It is even better in person than it looks online. I would definitely rent again. Laura (owner) is super nice, easy to communicate with and responds promptly.

Perfect

I was looking for a nice quiet neighborhood in a quaint cottage to take time away from my hectic life and I found it! The tasteful nautical 'Cape Cod' decor was charming. Very clean neat, calming colors, comfortable bed and living room sofa. If you enjoy tv, plenty of dvd's and shows. If you need a quiet space to read and/or get work done, this is the place. Water pressure in the shower was just right. I really cannot praise the cottage enough except to compliment the owner for being so friendly and available when I had a question. I returned home relaxed and revived. If I am in need of a quick getaway or a longer reprieve in the future I hope this little gem will be available.

Just right for a getaway.

House was very clean and perfect for our week-long stay. Communication with Laura was easy and quick. Location was convenient for day trips to Ptown, Chatham and Martha’s Vineyard. Did not get to enjoy the backyard due to weather, nor the roomy basement (rest of house was room enough)—maybe next time.

Comfy getaway in quiet neighborhood near Craigville Beach

Comfortable 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom beach house in quiet residential neighborhood, with Craigville Beach about 1 mile (20-minute walk) away. House has all the kitchen essentials (except dishwasher), and washer / dryer in lower level. House was clean, living room was comfortable with large assortment of games and puzzles. Bedroom AC window unit was loud when it kicked on but effective.

Wonderful Stay

My family (husband and 2 little kids) stayed at Cape Cottage and it was perfect for us. We loved the proximity to the beach, the use of the beach pass made traveling to different beaches affordable. We loved how close the cottage was to Hyannis for the shops but the location was remote enough that the streets weren't busy and there wasn't a lot of noise from neighbors. The cottage was as described, cute, clean, and communication with the hosts was quick and helpful. Would stay here again if we come to the Cape!

Laura and Chris have a wonderful home with all that a family needs for the perfect Cape Cod retreat. We loved the outdoor shower, fire pit and used the bikes a ton. The proximity to Craigville beach and all that the mid-Cape has to offer was perfect. Laura and Chris were gracious and responsive hosts and we were thrilled with the opportunity to spend time in their home. Run, don't walk to this cottage by the sea.
