Lovely place. Great location. I was under the impression there were two full bathrooms with showers. Second shower in basement did not work as second bathroom for family friendly use. Might have been my misreading but that meant showering in shifts. Other than that all the amenities you could want
We rented the property for a girls getaway. The house was perfect! Great views, seating and beds for everyone. The property manager was attentive and easy to get ahold of.
We had a great week! The house is in a perfect spot and the beach is beautiful! We spent so much time on the porch looking out at the water and the stars! Plenty of room for our whole large family!
Our family had such a wonderful stay. The porch of this house is incredible and just that alone is worth booking a stay here! Being right on the water was so great and our entire family loved being steps away from the beach. We were worried about the lack of A/C when booking but the owner was spot on about there being plenty of breeze from the ocean to cool down the house. Thanks for a great stay!
Location is unbeatable⊠beautiful views, spent all our time in the gorgeous porch or the beach. The house had plenty of space for our large family. We didnât venture across the bridge often because there was no need. Loved every minute.
Check in was easy. The house was perfect- especially love the huge porch overlooking the beach. Nice quiet location off the beaten path, and plenty of parking across the street. Would definitely stay again.
This is what you imagine when you think about a family vacation in a beach house on Cape Cod. The Porch! More time was spent on this porch than anywhere in the house. Mornings watching spectacular sunrises to full moon risings at night and afternoon thunderstorms with rainbows.
The kitchen was a great gathering spot for family and friends while you cooked. Great quality cookware and utensils, nothing was missing. The bar sink and area as well as the coffee sink and station were bonus spaces. Game nights in the living room before heading to bed, letting the surf lull you to sleep.
You will never want to leave the âRotten Houseâ The family photos showed the love and life that this home holds. It was an honor to stay! I will be back.
The house was beautiful, and very clean. Thankful for plenty of beach towels and linens--less things to pack! There was a great beach shelter, chairs and Cornhole available for use in the basement. Location is perfect -- on the beach and close to the Cape Cod Canal. Looking forward to more time on the wonderful porch on the future!
The property was well appointed and met all of our needs ( and more) the view was spectacular and our family had a wonderful time . It was a wonderful week !
The house was great with the exception of the upstairs bedrooms. It had some old bedding and headboard of beds were from the 70âs. It needs some updating upstairs. Everything else was great.
This is a wonderful old summer house with an old fashioned feel which we enjoyed. The big wide porch is fabulous and the setting is right on the beach. We walked and swam and read.
We had the best Labor Day weekend here. The photos absolutely donât do the deck and the location on the beach justice. We spent our days on the beach and our nights grilling on the deck and around the fire pit on the beach. Caretaker Bob went above and beyond to help us out with recommendations for local takeout and activities, and making the check in and check out process a breeze. A total dream weekend. I hope weâll be back!
Wonderful beach-front house for our family vacation. Charming and comfortable. Well equipped. Easy check in. Fantastic view of bay, with beach and swimming right out the door. Caretaker was attentive to our needs and questions.
Thereâs no better place to view a NorâEaster than the porch and living room of this cottage. The winds were 60mph and the surf raging but the cottage was warm and toasty with the addition of 2 space heaters. Lots of fun.
Unbeatable spot, excellent house, very well equipped with
EVERYTHING one could want/need. Had to leave a day early as return flights to UK changed because of hurricane. We brought in all cushions as directed and glass tables etc. as hurricane approached - dramatic winds & seas. Delightful all too brief vacation.
The "Rotten House" has the most fantastic, unpretentious and authentic antique Cape Cod house feel, with an absolutely wonderful wrap-around porch area where everyone wanted to spend the whole long weekend. The kitchen, which is well equipped, has views that are unparalleled for the cook :D The house still has the classic vernacular architecture of the period it was built, and feels like a home, rather than a sterile rental. It would be absolutely perfect for a family with children, too. We were 8 adults and fit fine, although sharing one bathroom upstairs was very intimate. The house has all the creaks and self-opening doors one expects in an antique building, and a few scuffs and dings, but its charm and absolutely stunning location makes up for any thread-bareness. It was also pleasantly clean, other than a few stains here and there from prior use. We couldn't figure out how to work the TV or stereo systems, so we just listened to the music of the surf instead. As a heads up to the maintenance: The built-in icemaker in the wet bar wasn't functioning, but there was another in the fridge that was, so it wasn't a real issue. Also, as some of the bedroom doors tend to open up on their own, it might be good to put a hook-and eye on the inside to allow keeping them closed when privacy is wanted.
Our host, Tom, was excellent with communication before the visit and even left a welcome gift of a bottle of the 'house wine' for us upon arrival. We definitely plan to return!
Just one hour out of Boston, this is the quintessential Beach House. Long days on the beach, morning coffee and sunset cocktails on the wrap around porch. A lifetime of family memories are made here.
