På stranden med vand udsigt! Private East Sandwich Beach! Store Cottage

Hi Laura, I’m sorry to hear that you felt the cottage was “a bit worn down.” We were surprised by that characterization, as our cottage consistently receives 5-star reviews, and we take great pride in keeping it clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The cottage is a classic Cape Cod property dating back to the 1940s/50s, which is part of its charm and character, and we feel the photos provide an accurate representation of the property. We have also made significant updates, including brand-new appliances such as the stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. We certainly respect that every guest has different preferences, and we appreciate your feedback. At the same time, we hope future guests will consider the cottage as a whole, including its historic character, updated amenities, cleanliness, and the overwhelmingly positive experiences reflected in our other reviews.

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure hosting your family!

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure hosting you.

Hi Trish, Sorry you felt this way. Why would three air conditioning units be a problem? I think you miss understood me about the air conditioning. The week you were here we were in the middle of a very severe heat wave. It was well over 90. Massachusetts has suffered it hottest July in history. When the cleaning lady was in the cottage I asked her to leave the units on for you so that it would be cool for your arrival. You texted me at 12 pm and asked if the unit was ready and I let you move in early, which I thought was pretty nice. When you called me about the air conditioning at 4:10 I responded to your call in not 15 minutes but 5. According to your text to me the problem was solved by 4:18 and air conditioning was running. I explained to you that when you leave the exterior doors open for an extended period (as you moved your bags in from the car) the temp goes up quickly and as a result all three air conditioners kick in at the same time and throw the breaker. You seemed familiar with the concept and were already searching for the breaker box. All three air conditioners can certainly be run at all times without problem, just not when the doors are left open on a 95 degree day. There is one cabinet that has locks on it for the cleaning products. My parents who own the cottage left some canned goods and spices. My mother is a chef and so I always think that there are too many pots and pans??? There is a large lobster steaming pot, several sauce pots, a couple of frying pans and a stock pot for pasta. The cabinet has TWO different types of bowls. 6 Small cereal bowls and 6 shallower spaghetti bowls. The unit has a brand new washer/dryer which isn't in the listing. The furniture are all antique pieces which I think makes it charming. I hope you took advantage of the fact that you were mere steps to a private association beach during a blistering hot week on Cape Cod?

Terri was a pleasure! We would have her back in a heart beat! Love her wish list and are hoping to accomplish a few by next season. Thank you for taking great care of the cottage and leaving it sooooo clean and for being a wonderful guest.
