Belle Cape Codder Proche de la baie

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. If you are like me and spent childhood summers at the Cape, this will remind you of the cottages you used to stay in, right down to the old board games, puzzles, books, and awesome old stereo. No frills, but clean and cute and with everything you need. Kitchen is old but has pretty much every tool and appliance you can think of. The a/c was nice to have in one bedroom; I would recommend bringing a few fans for the other bedroom and other areas of the house, as it got very hot in the afternoons and of course the Cape is always humid (they do provide one box fan). Just about the only thing I’d add to the house is a ceiling fan in the lovely porch to help the air flow. Outdoor shower was a highlight - we barely even used the indoor one! Could use a few minor updates (I.e., some very wobbly end tables had legs falling off, a kitchen cabinet that wouldn’t close, maybe some comfier patio furniture, etc.) but overall I hope they don’t change this place too much! Backyard is private and shady. Location is perfect- convenient to Rt 6 but far enough away that you can’t hear it. Sunken Meadow Beach (less than 10 min walk) is a hidden gem and perfect for our young son. It was never crowded. At high tide it’s beautiful swimming, and low tide you can walk out and look for shellfish (and mid tide was great snorkeling!!). Water is clear and warm.

One other note: the cottage is located on a sandy road that is very bumpy in places. We had an SUV so this was no problem. I did see some neighbors with regular cars, so it may be fine, but just a heads up!

Overall, if you are looking for a place you can really relax, disconnect from the world, and relive your childhood Cape memories, I would highly recommend this cottage! Thanks for a great stay!!

The location of this house is great. It is well up the Cape and very near a bay side beach. It is clean and well maintained. The biggest draw backs may have more to do with what I have enjoyed in the past in summer rentals. In the past I have stayed in summer rentals that are tastefully furnished and comfortable. This is where this house is lacking. Frankly, a couple thousand dollars and a trip to Ikea could furnish this house to be cute as a button. To end on a bright note, it is a great place for a small family that will spend most of the time on the beach or walking nature trails and not really in the house.

Overall, we had a terrific stay. Great location, comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, very quiet. Easy walk to the beach. House has quirks; locks on outside doors are difficult to open. But we'd definitely rent this place again.

We loved this house. It was very spacious and clean. We spent the majority of our time on the screened porch. It was very close to the bay which made our stay that much better. We highly recommend this home.

The cottage was great -- straight out of the fifties and sixties with regard to decor, but modern appliances. The Knicks knack collections was fun to look at. Reason I say this first is because our cottage in Wisconsin is the same. Walk in and all worries and problems seem to melt away.

Setting is perfect for the slower pace of the middle of the cape and easy drive (thirty minutes) to anything worth visiting. Dining choices are spectacular.

Would stay here again
