About this property

Hyannis, Cape Cod: Sunny Seaside Cottage-3 min. stroll to the beach !

Our quaint 1950's classic cottage, cozy and charming, was totally rebuilt as a classic Cape Cod Saltbox in 2017. On the edge of the ocean close to the Hyannis Yacht Club, it is ideal for 2 couples, a small family of 4, or singles. We rebuit the cottage to include a large loft in crisp, European style. It offers year-round amenities, WIFI, Smart TV, AC & heat. The sunny living/dining room features vintage antique and modern accents. Relax on the comfortable sofa that converts to a queen bed, or slip onto the loveseat to finish your favorite book. The corner desk is great for projects or checking email. The loft has a queen bed and bunk beds.The new bathroom is light and airy with a cathedral ceiling and skylight. The new galley kitchen has modern appliances and a stack washer/dryer. Note: there is no dishwasher. The lofty cathedral ceiling sports skylights with bright sun all day & a ceiling fan to keep the breezes flowing. The new sliding door extends the kitchen onto the sunny, private deck, with dining/deck furniture and gas grill.


Summer:

Marine and Airborne Activities: As you drive over the Sagamore or Bourne Bridge, plan some time to ride bikes and picnic along the Cape Cod Canal. Whale Watch excursions from Barnstable Harbor or Provincetown will take you to Stellwagen Banks and Seal Cruises are available in Chatham to Monomoy Island. There are over 35 beaches to explore if you care to drive outside of Hyannis. There are 10 lighthouses to visit that span the 90 miles of Cape Cod with panoramic views and amazing history.

Parasailing, sail/motor boat, jet ski and kayak rentals fit everyone's ability and sense of adventure.

Skydive, take a glider or biplane ride at the Cape Cod Airfield only 6 miles from Hyannis. Or, fly a designer kite on the sea breezes.

Rainy Day Fun: Some ideas for rainy or cooler days...The John .F. Kennedy Museum in downtown Hyannis reveals how JFK, Jackie, John and Caroline spent their days on Cape Cod. The JFK Monument at Veteran's Beach is a short walk from cottage toward the Ocean Street Docks.The Cape Cod Maritime Museum near Aselton Park and the Ocean Street Docks offers interactive exhibits, classes on boat building, maritime archaeology and model making. Kids will love the ZooQuarium in West Yarmouth with local creatures and a chance to touch and feed farm animals. The Cape Cod Children's Museum in Mashpee teaches children and adults how to play and learn. See the works of historic and current Cape artists at the Cape Cod Art Museum in Dennis. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster will immerse you in Cape habitat.

This cottage is perfect. It’s attractive, clean, comfy, well-appointed and just lovely. There’s a refreshing outdoor shower which we used every day. Anything we needed was there for our use in the cottage. It’s a few minutes walk to the beach and about a mile to Main St. for dining, shopping etc. so you really don’t need to drive at all if you don’t want to. We have no complaints at all about 29 Norris St. and would love to stay at Elaine and John’s place again in the future.

Excellent!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the 29 Norris St cottage with its airy, coastal design. The kitchen was small but very functional with all the cookware and appliances needed during our stay. The deck was lovely and we used the attached outdoor shower every day. The AC was a lifesaver in the 100 degree temps! The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed all parts of the Cape, from Falmouth to Wellfleet. The owners Elaine and John made everything about our stay easy and comfortable. The welcome gift was a lovely touch. We would definitely return again.

A clean and beautifully kept cottage, in a quiet neighborhood—but close enough to downtown, the grocery store, coffee breaks and the beach! Excellent communication from the beginning of booking through checkout!

A wonderful Cape cottage - perfect in every way

We were very lucky to stay in this newly renovated cottage for Memorial Day weekend. The conditions, amenities and hospitality of the owners were top notch. We would absolutely recommend this cottage if you are looking for a place to stay in the Hyannis area that is walking distance to a beach and a short drive from many more.

Elaine and John were wonderful hosts! They were both there when we arrived and showed us a tour of the cottage. The cottage has everything you need to a fully stocked kitchen, extra towels and linens and even beach chairs! Place was extremely clean. Beach was 3 mins from cottage and about 15 minute walk into town! Would recommend staying here if you come to cape cod!

Hyannis Summer

This gem was amazing. The pictures on VRBO did not begin to do justice to this delightful cottage. The interior and exterior were immaculate. The beach was, as advertised, a three to four minute walk. The owners were unbelievably welcoming and available. Just plain good people.

Off the Beaten Path, yet Close to It All, on Cape Cod

My wife and I spent the better part of last week at Saltbox Cottage in Hyannis. Though I was there for medical work, the cottage was as relaxing as if I were on vacation. The location is superb, tucked away on a small side street just steps from the beach and ocean. The decor and furnishings are top notch. No detail to make one's stay excellent has been foregotten. Saltbox Cottage is an wonderful romantic Cape stay for a couple, but could easily be a fun filled stay for a family. We have rented other homes on the Cape; this is by far the best.

A wonderful week!!

My family and I really enjoyed this cottage. Very cute and confortable. We loved the deck, had almost all our meals outside. Kitchen is a bit small but it works! Very handy to have washer/dryer. The area is nice and quiet. It’s a short walk to the beach but we didn’t love it so we drove to other beaches and paid parking… Great communication with owners. Thanks Elaine and John!

Norris Cottages

The house was just as advertised. Extremely cute on a quiet dead end street of similar houses. A 5 minute drive to downtown Hyannis and 5 minute walk to the beach. There isn’t any privacy since there is just a loft with sleeping quarters and no bedrooms but it worked out fine for us. The owner was very responsive via email and text with information and answers to questions. I recommend this adorable cottage for a stay on the Cape.

A little too much

Loved the property: it was beautiful, clean, and well located. It’s well stocked with all you might need, to the point of too much leaving little counter space. Only complaint is the amount of messaging all over that makes one feel patronized. I don’t need a note to tell me to shut a faucet or turn off a light. Also would’ve liked clothing storage in loft. Was not expecting the only closet downstairs. A small inconvenience, though.

About the host

Hosted by Elaine R. Cwynar

Host profile image
As a retired chef/professor, I enjoy local seafood and taught culinary arts and Vegetarian cuisine for 32 years at a local university. My husband puts his software engineer expertise to work anywhere we go. Staying at the Cape gives us a mini-vacation whenever we spend time here. Our favorite walks and sunsets are right around the corner. We have the most fun going shellfishing and sharing nature's bounty with family and friends. The peace and quiet are refreshing and give us a great perspective on what is really important; family, friends, time together, device-free time, nature, great food and meeting our guests!

Why they chose this property

Our Saltbox cottage was my home for years. We rebuilt it from the ground up into a new Saltbox that is bright and cheery. As our family grew, we needed more room for our grandchildren and friends. Hence, we were lucky enough to purchase the bungalow next door which has been a favorite family reunion spot. Bring your family and enjoy being together with your own cottage or bungalow to return to in the evening for your own quiet time.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the peace and quiet, long walks and easy access to activities like fishing, island visits to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket and Provincetown. Our outdoor shower is so refreshing and convenient, we use it far into the fall season as well. Our winter sojourns here are as comfortable and relaxed as summer, so we hope you consider coming during off-season as well for a well-deserved break or to enjoy the holidays.
