The house is only a 5-minute walk to the beach in a private beach community on Buzzard's Bay. It's pet-friendly, which was important to us, and hosts were extremely responsive and helpful in all respects. This house is equipped with everything you need for a short or extended stay (all manners of beach chairs and toys, a grill with charcoal, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, even toilet paper.) But ... we did have some issues. Foremost was the hot water, or lack thereof - sometimes it was tepid, sometimes it was hot. Hosts acknowledged this as an inherent problem with an aging heating system. The house itself is pretty old and rustic, an aging beach cottage, with a too-soft pillowtop mattress and barely adequate lighting. A giant holly tree right next to the front door sheds thorny leaves constantly, which stick to your shoes and get tracked into the house. Walking barefoot among them proved painful.

We had a great stay! The community the home is located in was so quiet. The place was so clean, you would not know it was pet friendly! Our hosts had everything we needed and then some, from extra dog supplies to books to keep our toddler occupied. And our hosts kept the check in, stay and check out instructions simple. We would definitely book this place again!

The area was beautiful! We went mid August and the neighborhood had gorgeous flowers blooming everywhere. The beach area was private and so relaxing. Our pup loved exploring the doggy beach. Good area for restaurants too… we really enjoyed Turk’s!

We stayed at this house in 2021 and enjoyed our time so much that we went back for a week this year. The neighborhood & private beach are fantastic, and the house is a perfect little beach cottage for a family. Can't wait to come back again next summer!
