The oceanview is exceptional. We had a front row seat to the impending nor'easter! The house is exactly as pictured. It is "homey." The landscaping, whether it's professional or natural, is very nice. We enjoyed our stay & always hate to leave.

My husband, mother and father in-laws from Ohio and I had a wonderful vacation. The property was exactly as expected for a beach front location. The weather was perfect and so relaxing to have the ocean outside our backdoor. We were close enough to all the wonderful food and attractions. Some updating would make it more comfortable. Kitchen (applicances & utencils, coffee maker, etc.) and bathrooms (update shower stalls) need some TLC. This would greatly improve the property. Just a few suggestions otherwise it was wonderful. All things considered, we would book a vacation here again.

You can't beat the ocean view or access to the beach. The house was a little rustic but soooo peaceful. We would enjoy staying there again.

We had a wonderful few days here! The house was very clean and well-stocked for a family of four - cozy, nostalgic beach house feel, as we could tell from the pictures, but charming and comfortable. And the beach just outside the door was so quiet and beautiful, we spent most of our time on the porch or beach, soaking up the sun. Perfect stay!

This cottage is right on the beach, which is great. It is a crusty old place with some charm, but as I wrote, crusty. The town has f Sandwich is awfully sleepy

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The location really is beautiful on North Shore Boulevard but we do appreciate your feedback regarding the home. We do have plenty of other options in towns not as "sleepy", if you are looking for more of a scene for night life. As far as Sandwich, it is a historic and peaceful area and very quiet most of the year. We would welcome you back anytime!

We booked this property for the direct beach access, as we were traveling with a 1- and 3-year-old. The location is pretty and the beach felt private, but the shoreline is very rocky—water shoes are a must and it was difficult for our kids to enjoy. We also booked a three-bedroom home so our infant could have a separate space, but it wasn’t clear from the listing that the third bedroom is only accessible from the outside, which we didn’t feel comfortable using with small children.Mid-stay, the central air broke. While we understand issues happen, it seemed frequent enough that fans and a single window unit were already provided as backup. Unfortunately, these were not nearly sufficient to cool the bedrooms. Our children cannot sleep with windows open, and their room reached 79 degrees at night even with a fan. When I contacted New England Realty, their response was dismissive—“it will be cool enough” and “these older cottages are finicky.” When we expressed our frustration no follow-up effort was made to resolve the situation. The house itself is very dated and not child-friendly, with exposed wires, extremely small showers, and no bathtub. There was also no way to really help keep the sand to a minimum as I tried to vacuum throughout the stay but the vacuum provided was very old and not working well. Overall, while the setting is nice, we would not book this property again.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and that several aspects of the home caused inconvenience during your visit. We’re also very sorry for the issues with the central air and for any frustration caused by our response. That certainly falls short of the level of care and communication we strive to provide our guests. We’ve shared your comments with the property owner so that the AC, vacuum, and general upkeep can be properly addressed. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience moving forward. While we regret that this stay wasn’t what you expected, we do hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable visit in the future.

Not quite as expected

There are several things at this property that need serious updating. I understand that the main appeal is the oceanfront, which was very nice. However, being that our stay was for a week, we needed to spend time inside as well. The bathroom in the upper house is very small, and the size of the shower is unrealistic for any grown adult. It was nearly impossible to shower without banging your arms against the walls and the angle was very awkward. It’s tiny. There is no fan and no plugs! The master bedroom mattress was similar to sleeping on a hard floor. We went and bought a memory foam pad after the first night because waking up the next morning was genuinely painful. We left it for the next guests. The view of the ocean from the living room is beautiful during the day, but we would have liked the choice to be able to have curtains at nighttime as the black from the windows made us feel a little uncomfortable. We noticed the garbage bins outside were completely full from before our stay. The location of this home is ideal. The exterior was great, although as we were sitting outside on the deck having breakfast, we didn’t get to enjoy the view as the bushes in front of us weren’t trimmed. The inside of the house has so much potential but honestly needs some serious updates. We didn’t stay in the lower level at all, but that also needs some obvious updating.. we’re not the type of people to complain, we just needed to state some honest comments!

HI Nicole, Thank you for comments. We appreciate all reviews! This is a classic beach cottage with vintage pine paneling and very little updates. However, the views and the vintage charm are what many people love about this cottage. We hope that you let us find you a more suitable place next season! Thank you!
