The house was perfect for our stay. Mikelyn was an excellent host. She was easily reachable and went out of her way to give us info about the area. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay! Mikelyn was a phenomenal host. Her home was clean and perfect for our family. We visited our son interning with the Wareham Gatemen baseball team and spent a day in Hyannis - just a short 45 minutes away. Can’t recommend the “Hidden Gem” enough!

Cute House, driving distance to tourist spots

Girls trip to the Cape Cod area booked at the last minute and this cute “Hidden Gem” was available. The house appears to be newly renovated and it was cute and comfortable. There is not much to do in Onset but driving up the Cape is an option or going to Newport is easy. The house had most everything we needed and the property owner was easy to communicate with. It is on a main road and street noise was noticeable while going to sleep. Also, the bedrooms are upstairs and lugging large suitcases up there can be a challenge. The beach that is a 14 minute walk away is adequate but not one I long to return to. Overall we had a great stay.

Mikelyn’s home was very comfortable and well equipped, it had everything we needed for a quick weekend getaway and was well located within driving distance of attractions. Next time we go to the cape we will check to see if Mikelyn’s home is available.

We were in Onset for a wedding and this place was a great option for us and another couple. The space was nice and in close proximity to everything for the weekend. And communication was great up to and throughout our stay.
