Immaculate Classic Cape Cod, Spectacular Marsh and Bay views

Excellent property for 4 adults in a lovely location in Sandwich. Local amenities were good and touring around Cape Cod was easy except 3rd & 4th July which was obviously going to be a bit busier all round. We stayed local and joined in the celebrations .....even though we're from England.

My wife and I recently stayed at this Sandwich property for two weeks in June, our favorite Cape Cod time of the year but perhaps a little chilly for many beach-goers. The cottage was delightful, and Rick was a wonderful host, stopping by once midway to ensure all was well with us. The view of the marsh is very tranquil but it is pretty far from open water, so it was a little "sticky" and "buggy" on one or two more humid days. (Be prepared with bug spray.) We used this upper cape home base for day trips to all the places we wanted to go: Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Chatham, Cape Cod National Shore, Boston, and more. It was very comfortable and very convenient all around, perfect for our vacation plans. We actually stayed in Sandwich (and down in Falmouth) more than we had planned because there were so many nice spots to eat, walk, and read -- the holy trinity of our vacations.

The property is situated in a perfect location - quiet and well hidden, but at the same time very close to everything. The ever changing views of the marshland are breathtaking! Our kids, my wife and I really enjoyed staying there. Unfortunately we won't be able to visit soon again, since we are living abroad, but we have already recommended the place to colleagues and friends.

We had a lovely relaxing break in this very well-equipped house with stunning views of the salt marshes and sea. It was a great base from which to explore Cape Cod with lots of home comforts, including excellent wifi for our two teenage daughters. So many great things to do: the Shining Sea Trail bike ride, a Hyannis whale cruise, a free Friday visit to the Sandwich Glass Museum, visits to Town Neck Beach and the Boardwalk, the Ice Cream Sandwich, Beth's and Cape Cod Canal, plus waving at the trains and spotting humming birds! Many thanks Rick and Peg

We had a wonderful time at 5LEL in August. The house is charming and just as described in the Home Away publicity. The master bedroom is spacious, both bedrooms have closets and chests of drawers and the mattresses are comfortable; the bathrooms function well. The living/dining room is big, has good lighting, and the dining table, chairs and sofas are perfect for evening activities. The kitchen is beautifully equipped (we ate in a lot), and it functions extremely well. The house is peaceful and also within a short walk (approx. 25 minutes) of Sandwich Town Centre, and the Boardwalk and Creek - we regularly walked or rode bikes to both. (We also visited the Heritage Gardens, the Cape Cod Canal, the library, and took the summer weekend trolley ride around all the main sites). It is the views over the salt marsh out to the ocean, and the birdlife, along with the fun of the occasional passing train, however, which make 5LEL particularly special. The comfy deck furniture was inviting and so made us want to spend time on the gorgeous deck soaking up the seaside atmosphere and views. An added pleasure to our visit was meeting Rick Spada and his family who were welcoming, kind and very helpful. We would highly recommend 5LEL, and want to thank Rick again for a very happy summer visit to Sandwich.
