This home was in a great location for us to explore Brewster, the flats, the rail trail, shops, and nearby restaurants. The backyard was fabulous for throwing a ball around and to store our bikes, as well as access to a fire pit for great evenings outside!

The property is lovely. Karleen was an incredibly accommodating and responsive host. It is a very comfortable place to stay. I loved the sunroom and the proximity to cute shops and beautiful beaches. Very clean and well equipped. We hope to come back again!
Karleen was helpful and responded right away when was needed. Clean vrbo with everything ready to go. Would stay again, especially if judging by its price point vs location.

Kathy I am sorry we only earned a 4! Would have loved to know what you were not happy with as we went out of our way to accommodate you even with your late checking out and damaging the towel bar. As you know our ratings are important to us, as they help travelers decide what property to choose out of the many good ones available. Please let me know what we could have done better as we are completely puzzled!
We stayed at the beautiful home for family reunion over Christmas. We had a great time together. We also did shopping and sightseeing. It was wonderful. The house was very comfortable and owners were very nice. Highly recommended.

We are so glad you could spend your holiday at our "Escape Away"! I hope you will find your way back, maybe during the warm months, to experience even more from the Cape and our home!
The cottage was in a perfect location on the cape -- close to both 6A and 6 which made it easy to get around to other parts of the Cape. Breakwater Beach was 3 minutes away which was a great place to watch the amazing bayside sunsets. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we loved the layout. The host was warm and welcoming and was very responsive to our needs.
We had no problems and enjoyed our stay. Clean and homey. Three gals going to a wedding, 2 bathrooms were a plus. Perfect for our weekend away! Thank you Karleen& Jim👍

We stayed over memorial day weekend and had a really great time. The house is clean and spacious. We really enjoyed the backyard, bbq, eating and reading outside and smores at night!
It's a short drive from the beach (less than 5 min) which is very convenient.
Karleen was easy to reach out for question we had during our stay and she made sure we had a great time!
Will definitely be renting again for our next Cape Cod vacation!
Clean place, near CCRT - Bike Path & Breakwater beach
Nice place. We had 4 adults and a teenage stay for a girls weekend. Owners were very communicative. Place was tidy and as advertised. We loved that the Cape cod rail trail was 1/2 a mile away, could have rode or walked over to it but it had a great parking lot so we drove over instead. Breakwater beach a mile up the road and was wonderful (no parking permit required in off season). Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Convenient location. Nice screened porch.
Disappointed we had to request linens (at $10 per person). Only 1 towel per person, no wash cloths.

I am so sorry to hear this. Did you not get a face towel? I am sending your post to the cleaner who supplies the linens. You should have had a bath, face and wash cloth. I wish you had said something earlier, this could have been resolved asap. My apologies for the inconvenience.
About the host
Hosted by Karleen L Kubat
I am an artist and retired schoolteacher; my husband is a writer and retired Education specialist. We have been renting homes on the Cape for 10 years, so we have used that experience to direct us as to what best to provide for renters to our property. My husband and I enjoy working with people and hosting. Our Cape home is giving us the opportunity to create a special place that we hope will be provide renters with everything they would need to enjoy their time away from home.
Why they chose this property
It is a quiet walkable neighborhood with large yards and an abundance of trees with that "Old Cape" feeling. The beaches, both bay and lake, are easily accessed as is the main arteries on the Cape to get to other areas of interest. The nearby bike path is some of the most beautiful parts of the rail to trail as it takes you along Pleasant lake. We love the short walk to the 1800's Brewster (General) Store and that the Snowy Owl and Brewster bookstore are right down the road on 6A, with Nickerson Park only a 10-minute car ride.
