Location:
The cottage is conveniently located close to 6A, but not near the traffic of 6A and rests in a quiet U-shaped lane. It is .4 miles from Paine's Creek Beach (walk or drop off) and a short 1.5 mile drive to Mant's Landing (AKA Robin’s Hill- permit parking and drop off). A short walk away you can find Dunkin Donuts, Luke Liquors, Kate's Seafood and Ice Cream, Lemon Tree Village Shops and Cape Cod's Museum of Natural of Natural History is about .5 miles away as well, but it is located on 6A so driving is recommended.

Beaches:
Brewster is known for the sunsets, seascape, hiking, kayaking, and stripe bass fishing! “Brewster is one of those gems that seems to have been built for the pail-and-shovel crowd, who lounge in the tidal pools or scramble to find fiddler and horseshoe crabs. Plan to be there at high tide, or you may have to walk a mile to get from the beach to the water’s edge.”

Great spot, comfortable cottage.

Place was very clean and had just about everything one might need when staying away. It was near everything, but tucked away. Deck/patio chairs were comfortable and so nice to sit at while watching birds. Owner was very responsive.

Little piece of heaven!

We have never stayed in Brewster before and we fell in love with the area - and also with this beautiful, peaceful property! Perfect location and lovely house layout; with just the 2 of us we had ample room to sit and read and drink our coffee in either the den or living room or on the deck. We will definitely be back, Ian and Carrie are fantastic hosts!

Yet another perfect end of summer stay!

5th year in this lovely perfect cottage. This year kids were big enough to go on Cape Cod bike trail. Beautiful. The classics: Harbour light minigolf (and ice cream), Brewster general store ( a gem), Kate's seafood (for ice cream) , feeding the butterflies and visiting the natural history museum (so worth a visit) and of course Paines creek and Scargo lake. We hope to be back next year!We

Another Perfect Year

This is our third year staying at Tales of Sunset Bay, and once again, it did not disappoint! The location is perfect, and we did not hesitate to take advantage of being right down the street from Paine's Creek Beach. It's the perfect beach for our kids, who are now 5 and 6 yeas old. We also made sure to make our annual nightly walks to Kate's, whether that was for fried seafood or for ice cream. The only complaint, which always seems to be an issue, is that the week just goes by way too fast! Thank you for another great summer vacation in the books, next year can't come soon enough!

Perfection!

We love this home. Ian is a great host. He is very responsive and easy to work with. The house is so comfortable, perfectly located near the perfection of Paine’s Creek Beach. The kitchen has everything we need. The outdoor space and especially the outdoor shower is perhaps the best feature of the house. Leaving SixPenny Lane at the end of the stay was so difficult. We would return again for sure.

Family tradition- year #4

This was the 4th year renting this cottage and I hope there will be many more to come. We keep coming back because the house has everything we need (and then some), it's in a great area of Brewster (walkable to Paines Creek) and Ian is absolutely wonderful to work with. This cottage is clean and it's a reliable listing. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home for a week every summer. I feel like it is part of our story now too :)

Anniversary on the Cape

We had a wonderful time fly fishing on the Brewster flats celebrating our 30th anniversary. We had our kids for a few days as our son prepared to get married next month. The Cape has always held special memories and fun times for all of us. This cozy house was centrally located and allowed us to make day trips and walk to fishing spots in the evening.

Cute Property. Accessible to everything. Luckily we drove so we could bring sheets, towels etc. Noticed in the guest book that people came from far and wide. Don't know how they brought bedding etc. Definitely would stay again.

Attention to details

The house was adorable. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the needs of their guest. We enjoyed our stay. I think it is a little silly not to offer sheets and towels. When you travel by plane it’s tough to bring. Last thing you want to do is shop for sheets and towels. All and all we had a great time.

Perfection at The Cape

We had such a great time. We visited from ATL and Ian was also quick to communicate and gave us so many awesome recommendations on things to do. The cottage was adorable! It was very homey, comfy, and had everything we needed and more. I loved the little touches like the local menus, “incase you forgot something” Basket, the games and books for all ages, the spare umbrellas, etc. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Awesome layout and nicely decorated. Very well stocked kitchen for cooking too! Location was great, it was easy to find, and owners were very nice and helpful. I’d definitely recommend it and we can’t wait to go back!

Year #3 and we can't wait to go back!

Ian's house has become our annual family vacation spot because it has everything we want and need in one beautiful ocean cottage. We love Brewster because it's a bit quieter than many other towns with a great personality and a wonderful selection of restaurants and shops. We always pick up something at Lemon Tree Pottery for our home and my daughter adores the Toy Shop around the corner. The cottage is amazingly well kept, the backyard is perfect for relaxing and we love the outdoor shower! Thank you Ian for anther terrific year of great memories!

Perfect house for a family with young adults. Comfortable sleeping arrangements, two separate seating areas. Kitchen had everything we needed. AMAZING outdoor space and SHOWER!! Can’t beat this location. Easy walk to Paine’s Creek beach especially at sunset when parking is tight. Ian was responsive at available, although we had no real issues. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Paine's Creek Brewster

Very nice house. Well equipped kitchen. The dining room has sliding doors to allow for quiet meals even when people are playing in the living areas. Assortment of games for younger children. The two bedrooms are very separate and quiet. The outside grounds are very neat, well maintained and sunny. A great outdoor shower. The location is really great. A ten minute walk down to Paine's Creek Beach (vert interesting tidal effects). If you enjoy fried seafood and ice cream the house is basically around the corner from Kate's. a great place but usually busy.

The Best in Brewster

My family of four was very pleased with this cottage and felt right at home. Ian and Carrie went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and even reached out mid week to see how we were doing. Some of the items we really liked having access to were beach buckets and shovels, wi-fi w/smart TV (connecting Netflix via QR code took less than a minute - and logging out took even less time) laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, outdoor gas grill, outdoor shower, variety of games (Tin Can Alley was our favorite), books, etc. This cottage is so well laid out… My husband and I could watch boys playing in the backyard or in the family room while making dinner because of the clean sight lines. The dining room and small sitting area was my favorite place to sit. It is decorated with functional barn doors, which look great and also helped give privacy/quiet from the other rooms when sitting down with a book. I love the windows in this area of the cottage and how it overlooks the stone walkway and yard. Very peaceful lane in great area. Paine’s Beach is a short walk and we visited twice a day. We could walk to Kate’s and also liked being close to the Pizza Shark. We can’t wait to return to Ian and Carrie’s cute cottage again next year!

Another wonderful week

Second year in this beautiful cottage. Paines creek and Mayflower beaches including gorgeous tidal flats and sunsets. Long pond and princess beaches showed us the beauty of the Cape's freshwater ponds. Everything is close by. And after a long day we enjoyed the outdoor shower and deck. And Ida's rain did not matter in this lovely place. We hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ian VonHold

Host profile image
Our family has absolutely loved the Cape since we moved to Massachusetts in 2004. This cottage is our home away from home and we know you will enjoy it just as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Location! Our cottage is just north of route 6A, less than a mile from three beaches, sunsets and tidal flats. Kate's Seafood and Ice Cream, Dunkin Donuts, Luke's Liquor Store, and the Lemon Tree Village Shops are all within walking distance. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is also within a mile. Visit the iconic 'Brewster General Store', which is only 1.5 miles away. The Cape Cod Bike Path is less than 10 minutes, it has miles of trails and is a fantastic non-beach activity for the entire family. Don't forget to check the Cape Cod Baseball League schedule to catch an evening Summer game. Go Brewster Whitecaps!
