We loved The Shrimp! The location can't be beat. Two beaches are within easy walking distance. And the house itself is charming, distinctive and filled with art. The owners were responsive and helpful. We hope to stay again and soon!
The Shrimp was a perfect little getaway for a family of four! It has a great location on a wonderful street. Steve was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. My family canât wait to come back next year!
This was my second time staying here and it was amazing. I love the little house and how it's on a quiet street and close to the beach. Looking forward to returning soon!
Wonderful stay at âThe Shrimpâ cottage. One of the best streets in Centerville. The beach down the street is a hidden gem. Great cottage for small kids- our 6 and 4 year old had endless fun exploring crabs at the little beach in the back of the house. Bring your paddle board!
We love this location and the owners are very communicative. We were grateful for the air conditioning. We brought bikes and enjoyed riding up and down Long Beach Road. Thank you, Steve and Debbie!
So close to the beach you donât have to move your car at all! Cute little vacation place, perfect for a single person or couple. Perfect get away. Town was nice and quiet not full of tourists. Everyone was nice, loved it and will be back!
This was my familyâs 3rd year at The Shrimp, and it didnât disappoint! Great location, very comfortable and Steve is very easy to work with. We will most likely go back for a 4th year!
My husband and I stayed for a week with our 2.5 year old daughter. The cottage was even better in person! It was the perfect size for 3-4 people, extremely clean and had everything we needed for a week away. We have now stayed in the Osterville/Centerville area of the cape for three summers in a row and this is by far the best location we have stayed. Long Beach is our favorite beach and it was only a short walk (about 8 mins). Craigville is also very nice and just across the street. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, with or without kids, this location and cotttage is perfection! The backyard was incredible, with a river great for kids and sunset views. Steve, the owner, was also wonderful⊠making sure we were able to check in and everything went smoothly. We hope to stay next summer again! My daughter keeps asking to return to the Shrimp!
Steve & Debbie were responsive & helpful. The view of the tidal river in the back is priceless, every day. Not even a five-minute walk from Craigville Beach, which is nice. Very quiet location.
Unfortunatelyy, the cottage (more of a glorified shanty) was not up to standards at all. Washer & dryer broken, grill barely lights, no access for us to canoe or get to the river as advertised, main bedroom smelling of some kind of decomposition, and (the most disappointing) was the general state of disrepair and absolute filth. Couches, pillows, blankets, chairs & carpets looked like a murder had taken place. We could not wash anything because the advertised washer/dryer were not working. I was so uncomfortable there, I drove home to Boston or a nearby friend's house most nights. I guess it's a good base for day trips to the beach, but not really to use as a functional house. I don't mean this as a negative review (I have never left one), but rather an honest assessment. I guess buyer beware be at VRBO has no guest protection for anything like this, sine it's not an emergency and the place is habitable.

My family very much enjoyed our stay at the "Shrimp." The location is ideal, and it is a great spot to bike to Long Beach and take in the picturesque Cape views. The cottage was charming and as portrayed in the pictures. The view of the river was great and the kitchen was fully stocked with all cooking tools needed for a great week!
My husband and I and our two boys (ages 2 and 5) enjoyed our week at The Shrimp! Steve checked in immediately upon arrival to make sure everything was okay. The bay access and crab hunting was a great activity in between trips to the beach. Thanks for having us!
Steve and Debra are great hosts, they make check-in easy, always check in to see how you're doing and avail themselves to questions if any arise (they usually don't because they're so studious about keeping their renters in the loop!) Thanks again for another year of the super clean, cool and relaxing space called The Shrimp!
Our family of 4 enjoyed our week at The Shrimp. The house was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The short walk to the beach was perfect. The easy access to the river from the backyard allowed us to have fun kayaking and fishing. We also enjoyed some beautiful sunsets over the river in the backyard.
Very comfortable home and the perfect size for my family of three. The location was great, we could walk to two beautiful beaches. It was very convenient to have an outside shower. Behind the house was a trail that led to the marsh waterway. We had fun catching crabs and kayaking. Thank you Steve and Debra!
Great location on river and walk to 2 beaches within minutes
We enjoyed our stay. The house is as described and very clean. It was also well stocked with paper towels, etc. We took advantage of the easy river access through the path in back yard. Both Craigville Beach and Long Beach were within a short walk. It was nice having use of the beach chairs provided with the house. Check in was very easy and Steve responsive to questions. The week was overcast but aside from the weather this is a great location and comfortable house. Perfect for a couple or small family. I would recommend.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Shrimp more than I can describe. It was the perfect location, and the house itâs self had everything we needed to have the perfect week. Steve was great to work with and made the process extremely easy. It was our first stay at the Shrimp but we look forward to many return trips!

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) just enjoyed a very nice stay at "The Shrimp." The place is clean and comfortable. We had all that we needed. The owner was very welcoming and communicative. We definitely would like to stay again!
This was our second year renting The Shrimp. The house is cute and the perfect size for our young family of four. The location is wonderful- close to two beaches and shopping. We had a small issue at the beginning of our stay, but Steve quickly responded and remedied the situation. We look forward to next summer!
Steve reached out a few days prior to our arrival and ensured we had all the necessary info for an effortless and smooth check in and stay. Cottage was super clean and so pretty. A safe spot for kids to adventure and bike too. Thanks to the Scheibelâs for a great place to call home for a week. Looking forward to next year
