Central A/C; south of Rte 28; beaches, restaurants, shops close by; lovely spot

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location was great to explore any place on the Cape. It was so peaceful and quiet. We slept great. The cottage was clean and the bed linens fresh. We enjoyed eating our meals out on the patio. Everything that you would need was supplied. The AC was especially nice. The owner was very personable.

We booked Barbara's cottage for a two week stay for my parents in-law from July 4th - July 18th, 2015. The cottage is located just across from the Bass River on a beautiful street (Pleasant Street) in Yarmouth.

The area is wonderful for taking walks or short strolls along the Bass River and is close by to Smuggler’s beach and local Yarmouth beaches as well as to shopping and restaurants. Being so close the beaches, Route 6 and Route 28 made moving around easy. The location is very convenient and beautiful.

Barbara was very helpful with regards to dining tips and activities. We had interesting conversations with her and it was a pleasant experience to meet her.

The cottage is very small. A tiny bedroom furnished with a spring bed off the living room is located on the first floor. My parents in-law found the bed to be quite uncomfortable as well as the room small. They had to keep their bags in the living room as there was limited space.

The upstairs is very quaint (small) with a twin and a queen bed. The stairs are extremely steep and not suitable for elderly people or small children. The bathroom is very clean and the upstairs very tidy.

The kitchen is fully equipped. There’s a 1950s era fridge, (very interesting), stove top, oven and kitchen table with seating for four. There’s a patio with a hammock and gas BBQ and seating for six people. We never used the patio but it was quite inviting. The only down side we didn’t have a enough wine glasses which was bothersome.

The cottage is very clean, particularly the bathrooms as Barbara does all the cleaning herself. There is a funky odor to the cottage as it is almost 200 years old – it’s quite noticeable upon entering.

I expected a much cleaner yard considering the area and the neighbors. There were a lot leaves that needed raking and some basic yard tidiness. I do hope Barbara is able make some improvements as this would make a huge difference in the appeal of the rental.

Overall, this small cottage is a good place for a vacation and located in a great area.

We enjoyed our time at the Cape in this charming cottage, it was a chapter out of my childhood, when I visited the Cape with my family. We had two teenagers with us, they enjoyed the bikes and close proximity to the beach. My husband and I loved the patio and hammock. Bedrooms are small but cozy!We did alot of touring but did rent a boat from the boatyard across the street and jetskis in West Dennis!Loved the ease of watching the firewooks in Hyannis, easy in and out! Thanks!!

We had a wonderful time in your cottage and your hospitality and servicemindedness enhaced the experience a lot. We borrowed bicycles from you, you bought an umbrella and a brand new big barbecue that we used most evenings. The cottage had a very good and central location on the Cape and made is easy to discover all different places and beaches, it was not to far to drive anywhere. Good grocery stores close by. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house worked very well for us, two adults and two teenagers. Our kids appreciated the TV and the Internet. We could have needed a washingmachine but you solved our problem without a blinc. The cottage was very clean, maybe a little bit smaller than we expected but it worked very well for four people. The only thing to complain about was the mosquitos at night, but on the other hand it was nice to be located next to a small forest - it is difficult to get it all! Quiet surroundings, close to the river and close to a nice beach that you can bike to and avoid the parkingfees. We found this cottage to be good value for money. Thank you for having us and Cape Cod was a really nice experience!

Hi from the Swedish family.

This was our first visit to Cape Cod and it won't be our last. The property was clean and comfortable and was exactly as desribed on the VRBO web site. Conveniently located to all of the major Cape Cod attractions this rental was a real find. The owner was very helpful, providing excellent tips for dining, shopping, and recreation. The property is well maintained and because its an original Cape Cod cottage you get a real sense of the architectural history of the Cape. Looking forward to a return visit.
