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

As the name of the street anticipates, this is a cozy traditional cottage where we had a great time last July.

It consists of two floors arranged exactly as described on the website and being just two people, for us the cottage was really comfortable, it was like having a hotel suite each. There are wooden floors almost everywhere, which gives the house an old-times atmosphere together with the good taste furnishings.There are all modern comforts though, including air-conditioning, necessary on hot summer days and nights!

Everything was very clean and tidy, with little homely touches like the flip-flop magnetic notepad on the 60’s fridge. Outside there’s a little patio hidden from the main street (with table/chairs/BBQ) where we used to have breakfast, great to relax and have a drink or dinner in the evening.

The neighbourhood is really beautiful and quiet, very green, with birds and squirrels, and lots of big cottages with nice lawns and huge hydrangea bushes! The location is perfect because it’s in the middle of the Cape, so everything is at a short distance, but certainly you need a car. However,there are things you can do just walking or riding a bicycle: across the street there’s the river, with boats, kayaks, etc. and some tiny beaches. Otherwise there’s Smugglers’ beach, which you can reach on foot, where you can sunbathe,swim,fish or have a walk at sunset before dining at a nearby restaurant, tasting the local seafood (delicious littlenecks, steamers and lobster!) In the garage of the cottage you can find everything you need for the beach and bicycles.

Any downsides? Well, the only one I find is that the garden would need some “re-styling”, also because the ones nearby look extremely trim and tidy, but this doesn’t really affect your stay in the cottage.

We drove around a lot and Barbara, the owner, also gave us some good tips about restaurants nearby , for shopping in the area and things to do, like going to a tag sale just down the road, which was great fun for us as it was a taste of local traditions. Barbara was really very helpful and friendly, always available without being obtrusive. The owner living next door is certainly a positive aspect in case of need, but besides that she’s such a nice lady that it was a pleasure to meet her .So, we hope to go back one day to repeat the experience and make the most of Pleasant Steet again! Thank you Barbara!

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!!

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.
