Cute, cozy, clean and charming Earle Road cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.A quick walk to a beautiful beach or into town. Our hosts were wonderful and we would most definitely stay here again. We had a truly relaxing and wonderful vacation with our two Great Danes. James loved the home made authentic Scottish scones!

Perfect Stay

Fiona and John were the perfect hosts, even rescuing us in the middle of the night when we locked ourselves out of the house. The house was clean and very close to the beach and all the attractions you could want. Beds were very comfortable, and the house was the perfect size for our adult children to visit during our stay. We would stay there again for sure but we loved it so much we bought a place during our stay. We would also highly recommend Fionas scones, makes a cape morning even better.

Special stay on Cape Cod

Cape Cod is our "Happy Place" and we were so fortunate to have found this gem of a cottage in Harwichport. It was the perfect place for me and my husband to spend one of the most beautiful weeks we've ever had on the Cape. This cottage was sparkling clean with a comfortable bed and every possible kitchen necessity. It's a short walk to Earl Road beach but you may want to take the long way around after enjoying Fiona's amazing warm scones...a very special treat! Thank you Fiona and John for sharing this home with us!

A lovely stay

This cottage exceeded all our expectations. It is adorable and spotless and had everything we needed. After being at home since mid-March my family was in desperate need of a change of scenery. This was the perfect getaway. It's very close to the beach, the deck and screened in porch were wonderful. My children (7 and 4) had a great time playing in the yard and LOVED sleeping in bunk beds. We hope to return next summer. Thank you Fiona and John!

A holiday “home away from home”

We stayed at John & Fiona’s cottage during Thanksgiving and had a very cozy stay. The beach is beautiful and super close. There were special touches left for us throughout the house…I cooked a big meal and baked two desserts and wanted for nothing. We’ve never stayed at a rental so well-stocked. In addition to echoing all the other fantastic reviews about the home, I also just have to add the shower is incredible. We did a day trip to Nantucket and the ferry was close-by and the area is easy to navigate. You’ll find restaurants and grocery stores without a problem, even “off-season”. Would love to go back!

Thanks so much for your kind review. We have never rented this late in the season before and we’re thrilled to hear just how much your family enjoyed your thanksgiving getaway. We would love to get a fireplace in one day soon making it an even cozier spring or fall getaway. Thank you for leaving the cottage so tidy and clean. Hope you can make it back at another time when the weather is a little warmer to enjoy not only beautiful beach walks, but a swim as well. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas.

Cape Perfection

What a superb home away from home on The Cape!! Cute house with everything you need for a beach vacation, including a beautiful beach within a leisurely 5-minute walk. Great deck with a gas grill. Beach chairs, dog run, and nicely decorated, well-furnished space inside the house. And, we can’t forget to mention the hosts, John and Fiona! Very friendly folks! Last but not least…Fiona’s scones. Yowza…you wake up during the week when Fiona is baking and the aroma of fresh-baked scones wafts over to your cottage. Then, you eat them…simply amazing! This is the place to stay on The Cape!!

Wow, thanks for the glowing review. It brings us joy to hear how much you and your family enjoyed your time here on the Cape and that the little touches, like our homemade scones made it extra special. We have been so blessed this season to meet some lovely families who have all enjoyed our cottage, while also taking great care of it. Glad you enjoyed your stay, hope you will consider a return visit.

Excellent Cape Cottage - Highly Recommend

If we could give this cottage 100 stars, we would! The cottage is spotless and so well-appointed. You feel the cozy costal vibe as soon as you walk through the door. John and Fiona have really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. It is rare to find the number of thoughtful touches in a Cape rental that you find in this cottage. The beach is just a quick walk down the road and is very clean. We went during the off-season and were able to drive down to the lot and park for free, but it is easily walkable during summer months. We were also able to walk the beach with our two dogs, since it was after Labor Day, and they loved it. John and Fiona are excellent hosts! They have honestly thought of everything — even the ice cube trays were filled for our arrival! You can tell that they love the space and hosting, it shines throughout the property. Fiona’s scones are incredible — I highly recommend grabbing them fresh, you won’t regret it! We’ll be back in 2024! Thank you, John & Fiona!

Beautiful home.. Just a few things to note

We had a great week at this property. The house is adorable and has everything you'd need for a week long stay. Just a few things to note that weren't super clear and might be helpful to others. There is no AC in the bedrooms, there is one HVAC wall unit in the living room that is supposed to cool the whole house, which means you'd need to leave it running all day (which I don't like to do) and leave bedroom doors open, which doesn't work when you need to put little kids to bed. When i asked about this they were very quick to say they'd come put window units in the bedroom but maybe just good to know ahead of time. We ended up having a mild week and really didn't need AC at all but I can imagine in the heat of the summer those bedrooms need AC units. Also, the washer/dryer is a single unit European machine with washer/Dryer in one. These do not work very well. We had to dry our clothes on the line, which would be fine but it rained a few days so this hindered our ability to do laundry. I typically like to come home from these weeks with my laundry all done so this was a minor inconvenience for us. Not the end of the world just something to note. Aside from this we had a wonderful week and the home was great!

All that we hoped for

The cottage is cozy and very well stocked. The beds and bedding are comfortable as is the living room furniture. We did a fair amount of cooking, and the kitchen didn't lack for anything aside from pot holders. The 10 minute walk to the beach is an easy stroll down the road. I hope we can rent again. We were all very pleased with our stay.
