It was advertised as a 3 bathroom. There is one bathroom as expected upstairs in the house. The second is in an unfinished cellar with no walls surrounding the toilet on two sides and a folding screen next to it for privacy. The shower is opposite as is the laundry. When asked, the owner admitted it was"oddly open". The third bathroom (which we understood) was the outdoor shower located behind the shed approximately 75 feet from the house. There is no toilet. The owner was reasonable about letting us leave and refunding some of the rent. I think the house would be ok if you only needed one bathroom and thats how I think it should be advertised.The house was clean and the location is good.

This is the first review of this nature in the 10 years we've rented. The house has never been listed as a 3 bedroom. Suggest you look a little closer at the homes you chose to rent. Although the space has a lock and is private we did remove the second the second bathroom. Based on the amount of correspondence regarding specific amenities (use of laundry detergent, condiments, coffee filters) you may want to consider a hotel for future travel.

Love this place!

It was our second time staying here. It’s very cute and quiet. The owners keep it meticulously clean and well maintained. We do t use the lower level so can’t comment on that but upper level is fine for 2 or 3 people. We will return!

Sister trip

The property was idyllic, the cottage was serene and impeccably clean! This was the perfect setting and wonderfully relaxing with 2 rooms to lounge in, the kitchen was again so cleanly and had everything needed to prepare breakfast, lunch or diner. We opted to do day trips and would have loved to take advantage of the boat and kayak or bikes but simply did not have enough time. The beds were beyond comfy and we fell asleep each night feeling cozy and Comfortable and safe !

Perfect Cape Cod cottage

This lovely home was absolutely perfect for my family’s visit to Cotuit! This property has been maintained beautifully (inside and out - the yard is great too!) and was SO clean - it was fully stocked with anything and everything we needed for our visit (beach towels, beach chairs, bikes, etc.). It is located convenient to town and the beach - we walked all over Cotuit. The added bonus was it is located on a small pond - my kids loved going out on the kayaks (they have life vests of all sizes too). The owner was so kind in answering all my questions and really lovely to deal with, so overall it was a perfect stay. We will definitely be back!

Immaculate property

My husband, my 7 year old, and I had an excellent stay at this property. It is a well cared for and extremely clean home. Lots of comfortable lounge space for relaxing, playing cards, or watching a movie. We picked a couple of different DVDs from a large selection of family favorites on rainy afternoons. The area has plenty of restaurants and shopping at the nearby Mashpee shopping center. The beach pass provided gave us access to several local beaches. The check-in binder provided tons of detailed information for anyone new to the area. Central AC was such a luxury with all the heat and humidity. We had a wonderful vacation and would recommend this property to couples or small families.

Fall trip

Thank you for a pleasant stay. We enjoyed being so convenient to many different day trips. Walked to local beaches and drove to Barnstable for fishing trip, Orleans for sunset picnic and hiked only a few of the many land preserves in the area. It was just 3 of us so we had plenty of room and the house was cozy.

Cotuit experience

Location of property was excellent and was able to travel all over the Cape. House was comfortable and suited our needs. However, the property is listed as 2 bathrooms and although this is correct the second bathroom is in the basement, not very clean and certainly not very private. We were going to have stay with us for a few nights my son, daughter in law and new baby, this didn’t happen as a result of the second bathroom not functional for our needs. I think within the house description it should have mentioned where this room was. Overall a very lovely holiday in a beautiful part of the US and the house was comfortable for the 2 of us.

Great property; highly recommended

Very nice property, we took advantage of many of the amenities, including the kayaks and rowboat, games, bikes etc. Nice area to walk, easy access to anywhere on Cape Cod. Communication by Justin was excellent. House had all we needed and plenty of room for 5 of us. Would strongly recommend.

Lovely house in a great area

This is a lovely, clean and well equipped house. It is ideal for a family holiday. We enjoyed watching the turtles and bird life while kayaking on the pond. We cycled around beaches and to nearby Lovell Park for the baseball, which was free and great fun. Cotuit is well placed for visiting Woods Hole (and the Vineyard), Hyannis and Barnstable for whale watching. There are beaches and nature trails all around. Cotuit is quiet and peaceful compared to other towns on the cape. We wished we had stayed longer.

Early summer getaway

We spent a family week at Justin's property this June, and what a fantastic week ! Soooo relaxing with its private village setting, the grounds were really beautiful. The location solved what is my biggest pet peeve with the Cape - all the Cape traffic between Memorial Day and Labor Day. It is close to everything, but "off the beaten path" so you only get a small bit of local traffic. Wonderful !

Cute classic Cape Cod Cottage

Charming two bedroom, comfortable, clean and in a good location for our activities at the golf club up the street. Well appointed for two couples. Only disappointment was the second bathroom, located in the basement, which was a bit rustic.

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Ferrante

Host profile image

Justin owns a Landscaping company and garden center south of Boston. His wife Tricia, is an oncology nurse in Boston. Any free time they have is spent in the Cape to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

Why they chose this property

We are the third generation in our family to love this home. We take pride in maintaining it's original charm. One of the original owners was an avid gardener, bird watcher and tool maker. Many of the unique features of this home reflects his personal interests and talents. This home truly has a peaceful essence and leisurely feel that only a Cape Cod Cottage can have.

What makes this property unique

The sprawling yard is pristine and landscaped with the utmost care. You will share the yard with a team of hungry humming birds, turtles by the pond and chipmunks in the wooded areas. The heated outdoor shower is awaiting you after a day at the beach. The rental comes with bikes, kayak and row boat along with an impressive collection of board and yard games. You will have everything you need to slip into a vacation state of mind.
