Janice is a very experienced host! She has the entire process down to a science. The property was exactly as I hoped. My children loved spending time together, the outside grounds were immaculate and extremely inviting. The outside shower and grill is definitely a bonus for us. The surrounding restaurants and concerts added to our summer nights. We will definitely stay with Janice again. Thank you for being such a wonderful host.

We had a great time staying in Janis’ cottage. It is a lovely house in a great location. Enjoyed walking to several different beach and into town where you can rent paddle boards and kayaks.
We were so happy with our vacation in Onset. Beautiful view, great location, lovely property owner. The house is perfect for a family. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time in this house. Our family enjoyed the village, walking, beach and wonderful places to eat. The excellent view of the water was so relaxing from the porch. Hope to come back again. The house was so nicely decorated and so very clean. We loved it! The owner is a delightful person who was so welcoming to my family.

We stayed with out 3 adult children and their spouses for a week of beach, games, relaxing and lots of laughs. Our host was amazing as well as the property! Janis was easy to reach with any questions and the sweetest person! Her property was in pristine condition and perfect for 4 couples. The lawn was perfect for yard games and the porch was perfect for conversation and family photos. We will be staying there again in the future. She even gave us a welcome gift bag--so thoughtful. It was easy to see that she enjoys her guests!

Marlene,
Thank you for taking your time to write a review. I am delighted you enjoyed your stay at my home!
This is the most quaint Onset home I've ever stayed in. The photos are accurate and honestly it's even more adorable in person. The home is well cared for and all your needs are thought of. The owner asks you to respect the home and you will because it feels as though it is your own. It's steps from a sandy beach that is great for small children. It's walking distance from Onset Village with great restaurants and entertainment. The owner is the sweetest and if you have the time to chat with her about the history of the home you will be so impressed. The home is immaculately clean. Bring your own beach towels and sand toys for kids but otherwise it has it all! If you have a lot of kids I would recommend a wagon for bringing belongings to the beach. It's a short walk. I love this home and will be back next year.

Robin,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was such a pleasure to meet you and your family.
We had such an amazing week. We have a family of six but the “cottage” was spacious and fit us all easily. It was so clean, well-appointed and I lived the coastal theme. You can tell the owner cares deeply for the property. Janis was kind and thoughtful and even had a list of activities available in town for the kids to do! 10/10 recommend. I hope we can stay again some day soon!

Janis does a fantastic job as an owner to make sure that you have everything that you need! We always have a great stay here and are so close to shops, dining and the ocean. Would highly recommend!
The Bakers
We have been renting on Onset for many many years. The houses in the village often leave alot to be desired. This rental was fantastic! The decor was spot on and had more than enough room for everyone. It has a very nice yard that faces the water and is within walking distance to restaurants, activities and the beaches. Janis the owner was a great host! The WiFi and AC were much appreciated! We have already booked for next year. Thanks
Janis is a lovely host. Check in and check out was very easy. The home is beautiful and very clean. My family and I had a lot of fun going to the beach, going into town, and just hanging around the house. Janis even left the sweetest gift bag, with a bunch of little gifts and treats for us to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking in the Onset area. Thank you for a great stay Janis!
Outstanding property and location. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing week spent with family. Walking distance to great restaurants and beaches. Lots to do and see.
Our first family vacation when all of us were there at one time. Ages 4 months to 101. We had a great time! The house is perfect with the four bedrooms and the wonderful front porch. We could have not asked for a better house. The beach across the street was a bonus. Hope to be able to be there again next year. Janis is a superb host.
TL; DR: Great house for a big family with littles and yes we’d rent again!
Janis is a very conscientious host! What I loved the most - she changes out the shower curtains!!! Hotels don’t even do that. I was a bit nervous staying at a rental during this time, but Janis’ attention to detail was especially appreciated during the pandemic:
⁃ Complete sets of towels and comforters that the previous guests didn’t have. So she washes them of course, but it’s great to know they also sat for days since being used.
⁃ She requested we bring our own pillows due to covid....but I have to be honest, thinking about it now I’m shocked I haven’t been bringing my own pillows all along. Thinking about sleeping on pillows a stranger just mouth-breathed all over totally freaks me out. LOL
⁃ She left us the nicest, most thoughtful gift I have ever received at a rental! Was a wonderful surprise.
The house:
⁃ The only thing that surprised me was the photos are so well done you don’t realize there is a house between you and the cove. Once I got over the vision I had in my head, all was fantastic.
⁃ The AC is SO powerful you have to figure out what works for your family so you’re not freezing at night. We found 74 to be perfect for us. Or if the weather is nice and it’s not humid, the rooms get some amazing cross breezes. (Perfect for afternoon naps!)
⁃ The set up works GREAT for a family. 2 bdrm downstairs and 3/4 bath and 2 bdrm upstairs and full bath we took for those with kiddos. (Rooms upstairs are big enough for a pack-n-play.) I’ll also add double sinks upstairs is awesome for nighttime routines. 1 bdrm on each floor has TV.
⁃ The porch and yard are a DREAM. we’ve spent every morning and night rocking on the porch and then if not at the beach we hang out in the yard. Reviews didn’t mention the fantastic tree that gives shade in the yard you can follow all day. Our family of sun worshippers & shade lovers were both happy.
⁃ Fast & efficient washer & dryer has come in handy. It is in the bathroom next to the kitchen so super easy to get in a quick load.
⁃ Grill is also getting a workout and Janis always has extra propane at the ready.
The beach:
⁃ The beach itself is perfect sized if you have little kids. Water is very shallow and plenty of sand to play in. I would recommend water shoes as the bottom is a bit mucky.
⁃ We’ve seen some older kids catching crabs and other tiny fish in the water and loving it.
⁃ Janis provided beach chairs. Bring a wagon for sure! Convenient walk - 2 min if that
We absolutely loved your home. You and your husband Walter’s attention to detail lovingly shines throughout. Our family couldn’t have found a better place to spend our vacation. But more importantly, a better hostess than you, Janis. We tried to do it justice by filling it with love, laughter, family, and friends.

Perfect Property and Wonderful Location!
This place was the first spot for a waterfront vacation. My wife and I brought our kids and have our parents stay at the house for a combined vacation. The beach was perfect for swimming and we took advantage of all that Onset and Buzzards Bay has to offer. The owner was a true pleasure to work with and we could not have been happier with how she managed all the details of our visit. I highly recommend staying here! We had a blast and thanks again for hosting!
