Definitely recommend the shack!

We stayed at the salty shack for two nights during the memorial day weekend, and our experience was amazing. Luckily the weather cooperated the whole time, so we were able to properly enjoy our small vacation. The house is walking distance to the 'Keyes' beach, and close to a few other beaches. Craigville beach was the only other beach that we went to and, along with Keyes, it was a quiet (in a good way) and fun beach. The house is also walking distance to the Hyannis Main St which has a decent collection of shops, restaurants, bars, etc.
The house, itself, has four bedrooms (one king, and the other three I believe are queen). The living area and kitchen were big enough for our group of 10 to comfortably hang out and do a home-cooked dinner at night. They have a few TVs in the house as well as a great collection of movies. The couches in the living room were nice as well. The house was accommodating enough where I hardly felt like the 10 of us were in each other's way as far using bathrooms, kitchen, living room, etc during our stay.
The owner (Scott) and the property manager (Margaret) were both very nice and helpful throughout the whole process. They told us that we were the first people to occupy the house this year, and possibly because of that, there were a few minor issues (i.e. hot water was turned on yet, WiFi was not quite working, etc). They both gave us proper attention and help in taking care of these things though as soon as we found them, and I didn't have any complaints on the service end.
The deposit was refunded promptly after our stay. I received my money back on my card within a week or leaving the place. I am giving this place four stars because the WiFi never ended up working and it was a small complaint from a few people in my group. Other than that our experience was near-perfect. Strongly recommended!
Owner's Response: We're glad you had a great time. The Wifi was down because the router was bad. Unfortunately we could not get Comcast Cable there before your short 2 night stay. But it has been fixed as they replaced the router. So we're up and running and at 5 star strength!
