Our quaint cottage is located just a minute's walk from Osterville's village center, with its upscale shopping, dining and charming ambiance. It's a quick bike ride or short one-mile drive to the beach and just a ten-minute drive to Hyannis proper or any one of a number of Cape Cod villages. Although our place will accommodate up to 3, it is best as a romantic getaway for a couple, an excellent place for a friends' weekend jaunt, or a comfy spot for a solo adventurer. Our place is not appropriate for children. We do include towels and linens for our guests as well as a beach pass. We prefer check-in no later than 7 pm

Mu best friend and I had a super stay at the Sand Dab! The extra touches were so welcoming, and it was a great spot for the two of us. Comfy beds, nice bathroom, great little kitchenette, too. We loved Dowses Beach, and Osterville is a convenient spot to travel south to P Town, Chatham, etc. Loved whale and seal watching, Fancy’s Market, Amie’s Bakery, Wimpy’s and the Chart Room. Thank you for a great stay!
Adorable, charming tiny house very close to center of Osterville. Just big enough for 2. Decorated with many little Cape Cod-y touches. Felt quite at home and really enjoyed our stay.
I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about this property. It was the perfect little cottage for me and my husband. It was absolutely beautiful in the perfect location. Very close to the beach and decorated beautifully. We felt at home and relaxed the instant we walked in. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and we’re available if anything were to come up. The only downside was that our weekend went by too fast! We will definitely be booking next year and making this our yearly tradition.
Idéal pour un séjour romantique! Tout y est pour se reposer dans un décor soigné typiquement bord de mer, cuisine minimaliste, divan confortable et literie de qualité. Emplacement parfait pour rayonner dans la région Lower Cape. Nous avons apprécié la carte de stationnement qui nous permettait de visiter plusieurs plages gratuitement à Barnstable. Grandeur appropriée pour deux adultes, max 3 avec un enfant. Définitivement une adresse à retenir!
This wonderful home was conveniently located close to town on a quiet side street. Everything guests would need was provided and impeccably clean. Thank you again!
The Sand Dab was an adorable beach cottage in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Osterville. The beach pass was a great bonus too. Very clean, comfortable furniture and fun beach vibe.
what an adorable little space in a great location in osterville! very quiet and easily walkable to the heart of town. five stars for cleanliness. the space is small though, particularly the kitchen,, so if you plan on doing much cooking it may not be your best option. it was great to have to very reasonable sized bedrooms though. lots of positives on this property. absolutely LOVED the gas fireplace on the cool and rainy fall weekend when we were there! so cozy!
We had a great three days in Osterville. Cottage was small, but fabulous. Everything you would need the host provided. We were looking for quite time and found it. Thanks so much to our hosts for sharing your treasure. We would love to return someday.

Classic Cottage
We wanted this experience & truly enjoyed our stay. The interior is fun with a new objects noticed daily! We liked the location too.
We enjoyed our stay at this well appointed cottage. We ate in one night and enjoyed takeout from a local deli sitting at the table in the backyard. Short drive to beaches and walking distance to several restaurants. Easy check-in and check-out. Gracious host checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed with just the right amount of attention.
This adorable cottage had everything we needed for a memorable long weekend celebrating our niece’s wedding. Excellent, attentive hosts, cozy accommodations, and a great location in Osterville Village. A perfect spot!
This was our second trip to the Sand Dab. We enjoyed our second visit just as much. This cozy cottage is comfortable, cute and very clean. There are so many towns to explore in Cape Cod! We enjoyed the shopping, restaurants, beaches, lighthouses, breathtaking ponds, etc! Just a great getaway!
Everything was great again this year. This us our second year in a row celebrating our wedding anniversary. Great location! Walked to town and a short ride to the beach. Raquel and Tori are excellent hosts! Property was perfect for the two of us.
We had a great 3 weeks in Osterville staying in this cute cottage. Before we booked, the owners told us that most rentals were much shorter than ours and that the cottage lacked a few amenities, such as a washer and dryer that longer term renters might expect. We were glad to know this in advance and had no problems. We particularly enjoyed the nice back yard with a gas grill and table we often used for our meals. The cottage is extremely quiet being in a cul-de-sac off the main street but still only a few steps from the shops and restaurants in Osterville village and only a little more than a mile from Dowses Beach.
Osterville is a great spot - equidistant to Mashpee and Yarmouth, and a 35 minute drive to downtown Chatham. This cottage was perfect for our stay - we utilized everything it had from the fire pit to the beach pass. Raquelle was easy to get in touch with and a great host - we'll be back!
Cute cottage but bathroom and bedrooms are tiny. Had to leave our suitcases in the living room. Hard for two people to get ready at the same time ... thankful there was an outlet and a mirror in the living room
Was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. It was walking distance to all the little shops and great places to eat. We loved our stay at the cottage everything you need is right there and we would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Raquel Nejako Victoria Miklosky
West Coast transplants from California, we fell in love with the Cape in mid-January ten years ago and knew it would only get better from there. We chose Osterville for its central location, quintessential Cape feel, amazing beaches, and quaint village vibe. We are so enamored with this small, upscale village that our primary residence is right down the road. There you'll find my wife of twenty-five years and I and our two pugs, Chow and Tater. We are both educators: I am busy as an independent college consultant and business owner, and she teaches Latin full time at the local public high school.
Why they chose this property
Only a mile from our primary residence, the cottage is unique in Osterville, a village defined by beautiful rambling oceanfront estates. It is a small, quaint, and comfy respite just steps from downtown Osterville shopping and dining. Clean and updated our place is a wonderful getaway. It does accommodate three, though it is more suited to a romantic hideaway for couples or a beach retreat for a couple of friends.
What makes this property unique
In a nutshell, the charm our cottage oozes was the clincher for us. From the sea salt shade on the shutters and door to the finely manicured, postage stamp front yard. Large enough to feel comfortable yet small enough to be uniquely quaint, the cottage is all about location, location, location. Only a 1 mile bike ride to Dowses Beach or steps to downtown shopping and dining, the central location at the edge of the village is what stole our hearts.
