Impression given that there was more room than there actually was. Clean but dated. Probably needs a new bed. Cutlery was a bit mix and match. Air con and fans worked well. Bizarre bath with two showers working at once. Excellent location near the beach and communication with host was good. Very quiet and restful. We walked to Hyannis but takes 25/30 mins. No shops within walking distance but plenty within a few minutes in the car. All in all we had a nice stay without paying a lot in an expensive place.

It was a mixed bag, but an overall great experience.The owner was communicative and friendly.I'll start with the negatives: the parking is tight. The bushes and vines are in severe need of a major trim.The door handle wouldn't latch and the deadbolt could be difficult. In fact, when we first arrived, the door just pushed open as the deadbolt hadn't been locked properly and the door knob was misaligned.The cottage has a definite patina of age. The kitchen counter is warped, the medicine cabinet is chipped, the refrigerator is a bit rusty, the exhaust fan in the bathroom doesn't work. Several people have remarked about nails protruding from the floor and I, or more accurately my foot, can confirm that they still are and should be fixed.There is a broken CRT TV in the living room, but a functioning LCD TV in the bedroom. It was inconvenient to have to sit on the bed to watch TV.There is no stove to cook on on the kitchen, but the owner was completely up front with us about that ahead of time. Finally, it was a welcome surprise to find a large Jacuzzi tub. It was equally disappointing to discover that it doesn't work. It wasn't advertised in the listing, but it was still disappointing.Now for the positives: it was clean and we saw no bugs (as others had reported). But the star is the location. A very short walk to Keyes Beach and close to the center of town. That alone made everything else insignificant.

Great spot for a quick vacation

The cottage was nice enough but there was one huge flaw. There was no way to cook!There is no stove/oven in the cottage. Outside was a nice five burner gas grill. But – no propane! When I contacted the owner he apologized and said the main house next door had a propane tank that we could take. My husband went over there but couldn’t get the tank free. We were going to just use that grill but couldn’t get the gas knob to turn on. Owner was located in NY. He said he had a friend who was local who could help us. But…couldn’t get ahold of him. He then PayPal’d 120 to us for a dinner (as we had already shopped and purchased the makings of a complete dinner with Ribeye steaks). But that didn’t change the fact that we couldn’t cook for our entire week’s stay.
