Gold Anchor Cottage - private hot tub getaway!

JessicaRating, 5 stars4 days ago

Hideout at Water's Edge, 131 North Shore Blvd, #4

LydiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Teagan’s place was exactly as described. Had a girls trip memorial day weekend and the spot didn’t disappoint. There were enough beds to accomodate us, it was spacious and very clean. We could see the beach path through the sliders and we were able to walk right down to the beach. Unfortunately there was a huge storm during half our trip but the cottage was such a cute spot to just chill and relax while waiting out the storm.
A shaded outdoor dining area is present, featuring a red patterned tablecloth over a circular table. Two white chairs are positioned alongside the table, with a striped umbrella providing protection from the sun. A grassy yard and wooden fencing serve as the backdrop.

Best Little Beach Cottage!

JacobRating, 5 stars22 months ago
Mazie was great host and her place was perfect for our family. Walkable to beach. The kids could ride their bikes on the dead end road and they had a little candy and Icecream store they liked to bike to not far. The inside was great. We had four kids and our two youngest loved the little loft area as their room. The backyard was great for relaxing grilling and the outdoor shower was perfect to have for back and forth trips to the beach all day. Mazie was a great host and we are grateful for our stay at her beautiful home.

Beach Cottage, without going over bridges to Cape!

This was the perfect stay for us to explore Cape Cod and Boston. It was central and only about an hour to two hour drive for all the activities we were hoping to do. The place was clean and so cute and comfortable. We would highly recommend!

Charming water-front cottage on Martha's Vineyard!

AustinRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We had such an amazing time at Anne’s beachfront cottage. My girlfriend, pup and I spent about a week there to celebrate my birthday and staying here while on the island made it such a stress free trip. The house was well-stocked with supplies, towels, and pantry items that we would have otherwise forgotten to bring. The LOCATION was unbeatable, close to everything while still being secluded from the main road. The backyard views were immaculate, sitting on the beach for the sunset and enjoying the breeze, playing in the water with the dog. We all loved it! My only minor complaint is that the beach got a bit dirty with seaweed by the end of our stay, but I know that’s unavoidable due to the position within the cove. We would definitely come back for a future stay on the Vineyard!

Adorable Gray Gables Beach Cottage

YanaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was our second time staying at Amanda’s beautiful cottage and we hope not the last! The space is adorable and very spacious for a couple or a couple plus a guest (which was the case on this visit). The garden is a wonderful oasis to hang out and have meals and we appreciated Amanda being flexible to allow us to bring a solo stove. The area is so rich with wildlife and Mashpee Neck and the causeway beach are the best. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back.

Cape Cod Classic Cottage Near Forest Beach

BriannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great little cottage. The only “complaint” would be that the king bed is a little worn in but otherwise very comfortable and the shower does leak water so just be sure to lop it up and put some towels down, otherwise fantastic stay.

Coastal Cottage — 7 min walk to private beach

JoanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second stay and though it rained and was very windy , we enjoyed our neighbor walks during the brief periods of sunshine. The cottage was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Both of our stays were planned so we could visit with family that lived just two streets away. Proximity to the beach and great restaurants made our stay very relaxing. We will definitely plan another stay.

Onset beach, Cape code.Private Waterfront cottage

AkmRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay! The setting was incredibly serene, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. All of the amenities, especially the boats and kayaks, were very accessible, and we used them throughout our stay — it really made the experience special. We also loved spending cozy nights around the campfire, which added such a warm and memorable touch. There was so much for the kids to do, and they had a fantastic time as well! The host was so kind and welcoming, and communication was very easy from start to finish. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and it made for a truly wonderful getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, fun, and family-friendly escape!

Walk to beach - firepit - fireplace

OlitaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Sue's place was perfect for our mother-daughter weekend. Sue provided a comprehensive list of restaurants in the area, but we prepared all of our meals in the kitchen, which was well-appointed, very much appreciated. We enjoyed daily walks to the beach. Though it was off-season and overcast, inside it was perfectly cozy. The fireplace was great to return to. Sue was quick to return texts, and very welcoming. The snack basket was well received! Would highly recommend.

Steps to the Beach Kid Friendly

JulieRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This was our first time going to Cape Cod and Julie and David’s listing looked perfect! It exceeded all that we expected and then some! Julie met us on the cottage’s sweet, private patio, which is its own little retreat! Meeting her before our stay meant a lot. She is kind and informative! Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully decorated with a clean, beach vibe throughout. It is a perfect blend of classic Cape Cod style and modern amenity. We were there in September so the best beach breeze also filled the rooms. The cottage has a perfect central location to relax on the shore for a day or explore an endless list of local sites. Honestly, being able to walk from living room to shore in under four minutes was addicting! I only wish we would have been able to stay longer! We highly recommend Julie and David’s place and would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed a delightful weekend here! First time visiting the Cape, and Paula made our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. No need to worry about beach towels or chairs, and having a beach pass was certainly an added plus. The house was beautiful, well-thought-out, and well-maintained. I would love to return and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Thank you, Paula!

Beach house- walk to ocean + 2 min to Craigville

JillianRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Our family had a wonderful time in Barnstable! Lynn and Ken were extremely responsive and did a great job at communicating when needed. The house was perfect for our family of three. Everything was clean and appeared exactly as the photos presented. We loved spending time on the screened in porch and the outdoor shower was a plus. Being less than 5 minutes from Craigville Beach was ideal along with the use of the beach pass. We would recommend this listing to anyone without hesitation and hope to book again for a future stay!

"Wharf Cottage" Idyllic Cape in Yarmouth Port

RachelleRating, 5 stars11 months ago
To say that Wharf Cottage is idyllic is an understatement. This cottage is a dream. Wharf cottage is not your average Airbnb. This is a thoughtfully curated & designed home that provides a bespoke experience, unlike anything else. We have stayed at more than 40 different Airbnb’s & other rental properties and Carol’s place is the only one that actually brought tears to my eyes. We came to Cape Cod from California for a week for the hydrangea festival. We chose Wharf cottage because it was surrounded by hydrangeas & I loved the decor. When we pulled up to the home, the hydrangeas were in full bloom, & it was breathtaking. The whole property is lovely. The inside of the home is absolutely charming and very well done. The neighborhood was very quiet & peaceful. Carol had lots of great recommendations for places to eat & we ate at most of what she recommended. Despite her well appointed kitchen we didn’t cook one meal. Take route 6A whenever you can. Trust me. Until next time!
