Hi Oleg, I’m sorry that you found me to be unfriendly. I am just recently (from our last renter) learning that dirty dishes and poor cleaning was an issue. We use a service and are addressing this with them. I am at the house and also found a dirty (unwashed wine glass) in the cabinet. I also found the kitchen totally disorganized from how I left it. That would be from previous renters but I have no way of identifying who or why. Some people are not as organized or clean as others. I rely on my housekeepers and am also very disappointed. Thank you for your comments I will act upon all of the feedback I receive.

Diane was great. There was a miscommunication about garbage pick up and she jumped into action and had home depot deliver another garbage pail to the house. I will say I found the kitchen to be discombobulated and not well organized in the cabinets and it was difficult to find things. I don’t think the cleaning crew is the best but I am extremely clean so someone else might have thought it was fine. It was a very short walk to the beach and there were plenty of towels and beach chairs. All in all we had a wonderful family vacation with our adult kids and grandchildren

Wonderful place

The house is nice, the first floor is kind of an open floor plan with the master bedroom down stairs. Up stairs was a little tight but workable. The best part about this house is the location. It is in walking distance to a great little beach. I would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Cape Cod area and staying in this lovely home made it absolutely perfect! The house was clean, well maintained, nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I loved enjoying my coffee each morning while rocking on the porch and taking walks through the neighborhood and down to the beach. I would definitely recommend this home to my friends and family.

Definitely met expectations

This property worked very well for my wife and I and our son and his wife/ and 3 children. It was well equipped and in a convenient location. We enjoyed the porch and yard and found the rooms on both floors spacious and provided all of us of varying ages to both spread out and come together to eat, play games, and enjoy a variety of activities. Very satisfied!

Quintessential Cape Code cottage is a very accurate moniker for this rental as it is exactly what I remember Cape Cod cottages to look and feel like. Well stocked home - the kitchen had everything one would need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Lots of towels and linens, well supplied kitchen for cooking and entertaining, plentiful beach chairs (even for kids), spacious open floor plan, and very pleasant wrap around porch. The bedrooms and baths are on the smaller side but comfortable. The closest beach is more of a "beachlet" than beach. It is quiet and rather private but not many waves or swimming/walking area.Overall very pleasant stay.

6/10 Okay

Average

• Good location close to sea and 10 min drive from shops. • Spacious house with good air conditioning. • Good kitchen appliances, acknowledging broken microwave which was fixed promptly during our visit. • Good off street parking. • Good wifi. • Bedrooms and bathrooms perhaps soon in need of some refurbishment, furniture and beds seemed rather old. • A little disappointed to find plastic, as opposed to glass, wine glasses. • Poor selection of cutlery, from memory there were 5 forks, none of which matched and all from different sets. • BBQ gas ran out towards the end of our visit, having used it 3 times, despite assurances prior to our visit that gas supply would be checked. • Broken toilet seat in ground floor was not terribly hygienic. • Lack of local information pack was unusual, e.g. maps, suggested restaurants, location of shops etc. • Left with a feeling of a ‘business transaction’, rather than ‘welcome to our home’, e.g. a financial penalty for every 15 mins late on departure. The owner indicates these observations are being addressed..
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Mar 2020
This is the first time that we have heard any complaints about wine glasses or silver ware. We replenish any missing or broken items at the first of the season and there were two full sets of glass wine glasses, with steams and stemless as well as a set of plastic wine glasses. The furniture and beds were all brand new 6 years ago and only get used for 8-10 weeks during the summer. The only bed that is older than that is the king bed and we get compliments on how comfortable it is due to the feather bed top that we added. Broken toilet seat happened the week before this guest and it was replaced with one that did not fit, so our housekeeper decided not to interfere with this guests week and waited to change it out the next Saturday. Same with the microwave which was scheduled while this guest was there. The gas tanks (there are two) are filled at the beginning of the season and each guest is supposed to fill the tank when they leave. There is a station just 3/4 of a mile at the end of our street that will fill and charge just what was used. Even this guest didn't do that. The gas is not included, but should always be full. We don't like anyone to go away feeling like they were not comfortable, but this is a property that is rented all summer long.

Great house and location!

This house had everything we needed for a great vacation. Perhaps the biggest convenience was the quick walk to the beach with the beach buggy. We loved the front porch with the beautiful hydrangeas and even took advantage of the outdoor shower! We dinned in a couple of nights and used the fire pit as well as dined at many local restaurants. The kitchen is well-stocked for food preparation. The beds were comfortable and the window air conditioners do the trick! Very well-appointed house in a perfect location. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful vacation week

This was the first time using Vrbo and it was a great experience. The house was just as expected. It was very clean and plenty of room for all of us. It was walking distance to a small beach which was not crowded. Will definitely do this again! We had a wonderful week!

Short walk to Englewood Beach

We were two families with 4 kids and a baby. We were all very comfortable. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the close proximity to everything! When we cooked in we had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the back yard the fire pit. The beach chairs and beach umbrella came handy and it was nice to do all our laundry before packing to head home. We would definitely come back and stay again.

Nice Cape Cottage

The photos of the house are very misleading. I was expecting the house to look as advertised but the front is very overgrown with all dead flowers in boxes. Not fun sitting on porch. I was under impression there was central air. No window units shown in advertisement photos.

Getaway in Yarmouth

We spent a wonderful week in this charming home in Yarmouth. It is a short walk to a small boating beach, and a short drive to the bigger and beautiful Seagull Beach. The location is very convenient for visiting other parts of the cape since it is so centrally located. The kitchen is fully equipped and there are plenty of beach towels, chairs, etc. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the farmer's porch, and sitting around the fire ring in the evening. Thank you for a great stay!

Check in process was very smooth. Owners were very responsive. The location is within walking distance to a public beach. Lots of great restaurants in this area. There’s plenty of space in this house for a family, however this time it was just my husband and me. The kitchen was well stocked. The space outside is great for outside entertaining. Lovely spot! We would definitely rent again.

Wonderful week at the Cape

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful home. The porches and fire pit were our favorite! The location of this house is perfect for walks/bike rides to the bay or ocean. We enjoyed the central location in the Cape - we were able to take easy day trips to paddleboard at the Bass River, Whale Watch, take a dune tour and walk around Provincetown. It was wonderful to come home to such a beautiful home and relax on the front porch. We enjoyed eating out at Keltic Kitchen (walking distance from home), Ann & Fran's (walking distance) and Skipper's Chowder House (short drive but in Yarmouth). The owners are great to work with - very responsive. We were thankful for their concern and attentiveness after the tornado last week. Very impressed with crews that came into Yarmouth to restore power and clean up the debris from the storm.

Perfect escape! A beautiful, well-equipped home to enjoy a getaway!!

We stayed for a girls' weekend. The location was excellent and perfect for beach, restaurants, and access to the best the Cape has to offer. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. The wrap around porch was a favorite. We spent a rainy morning sitting on the porch rockers. Definitely hope to stay again!

Charming!

My sister was visiting me from California and had never been to the Cape. I wanted her to experience Cape Cod's unique charm and Diane and Wayne's beautiful home provided the perfect experience. The home is exceptionally clean and the beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook meals at the house. There are also a number of wonderful restaurants nearby. We enjoyed numerous short walks to the beach and many cups of coffee rocking lazily on the wrap around porch. Charming! I recommended this home to my mother and father from CA, they had a wonderful stay as well. We will definitely return and hope this wonderful cottage will be available on our next visit.

Just what my family needed!

My family and I loved this home! It was perfect and so relaxing. The house was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet which is alway a plus. Seagull beach was a blast and only a 10 minute bike ride down the road. The porch was a great bonus as I enjoyed coffee and breakfast there each morning! The house had everything you could need and was accommodating to my large family. Definitely will stay here again in the future!!!
