Great Family Vacation

My family had a great time on a long weekend vacation. The house was well appointed and had plenty of space for everyone. It was walking distance to Osterville for shops and restaurants and a short trip to the beach. The property manager was easy to contact and very helpful with our questions. We are hoping to be back soon!

Just what we needed for a fun family Thanksgiving holiday. This home is perfectly situated close to town, and an easy walk to beaches. The home is very well equipped, and perfect for entertaining! The owner has maintained this home beautifully! We’ll be back.

Best VRBO experience ever!

They say there's no place like home, but this property might make you change your mind! We had a very comfortable stay here for a family wedding! There are plenty of places to relax inside and outside, and the kitchen has to be to the best-stocked-VRBO we've seen. We've been renting homes for over 25 years on the Cape and this was our best experience, ever! Thank you!

Late summer Cape wedding visit.

My daughter was married at Nauticus Marina, a beautiful waterfront wedding venue in Osterville. This home is a short drive away and served as a way to house family members and guests from out of town. It is a wonderfully appointed Cape Cod home, very large and accommodating, with a small beach at the end of the road. We found all the comforts of home there, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We may well be back. I highly recommend this property and Rosalind was wonderful at communicating during our stay.

Fabulous "girls'" weekend

My women's group of over 30 years just spent a 3-day weekend at this lovely home. Everything was just as described and better. Clean, spacious, graceful, comfortable, near all sorts of wonderful places, and walking distance from the town, which has some lovely shops. There were so many places to relax, either inside or out, either singly or in large groups. We were nine this year, and it was perfect. The kitchen and the bathrooms are beyond magnificent.

Beautiful home!

We really enjoyed our week stay at this massive and beautiful home in Osterville. We needed a large space with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms that was close to a wedding venue and this was perfect. The back yard is beautiful. Perfect for grilling and playing outdoor games. The house has a homey feel and is stocked with everything you need. Even for a lobster boil! We were a little surprised by how much personal items of the owners were left out for guests to see. Lots of pictures of the family, books, photo albums, etc. We had a slight issue with the AC on the bottom floor but the owner responded right away and was able to help get it fixed. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back again.

Secluded Cape Cod Enchantment

Spectacular kitchen accomodates multiple cooks easily, fully stocked with cookware and serving dishes, and blender etc. (even a stocked spice drawer). Fantastic outdoor gas grill. We had a family reuinion (20+ people) BBQ for Memorial Day. Plenty of outdoor seating. The screened porch seats 20+ for those hiding from the sun. A manicured back yard. We played croquet. The house is spacious, one wing an informal family room/dining room, the other wing a more formal living room/dining room. Rosalind has paid attention to every detail. When we arrived an impressive bouquet of giant Asian lillies greeted us with color and scent. Rosalind was quick to respond to any texts I sent with questions. The location is perfect, walkable to the village of Osterville and equidistant by car to Woods Hole/Yarmouth and WellFleet/P-town.

Great property for spacious but cozy family reunion

The lovely, roomy, and comfortable house met all our needs for a wonderful family reunion. We especially enjoyed the generous number of bathrooms, comfortable beds (btw, wonderful linens!), and plenty of room to spread out. The key to the front and side doors was a little tricky but we worked it out. The property manager responded timely when we had a question about the disposal. We would definitely recommend this property.

Outstanding! Perfect for our large family.

We spent five days in Osterville at this lovely home that was perfect for our large family. The house abounds with porches, patios and decks. The master bedroom is an oasis in itself. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware. R. made us feel quite welcome. We walked each day into Osterville for our morning coffee at Amie's. Overall, it could not have been better or easier.

Wonderful Week in this Very Comfortable Home!

Our family had a perfect week in this lovely home in Osterville! The space is planned well and we could enjoy each other and yet have quiet times. There were more than enough bathrooms for all and each was beautiful with unique tiles and fixtures as well as plenty of linens. The main floor bedroom and bath makes this home manageable for anyone with difficulties with stairs. We prepared Birthday dinners and other casual meals in the large well appointed kitchen with many participating in the food prep. The fireplace in the family room provided warmth on cool evenings and gave a lovely ambiance to this room. We enjoy walking and loved our daily walks into the village. The kids made good use of the beach passes and all in all it was just the best week for our family! Thank you so very much for the availability of this home! It is a wonderful large family home! We would love to return in the future!

Beautiful home.

The home and property are really lovely and in an ideal location. It is a beautifully decorated classic Cape home and very comfortable. We had some minor, ordinary logistical changes to our plans that arose. First, we wanted to pay to arrive one night earlier rather than staying in a hotel. Then, on our departure date there was a miscommunication relating to the departure time of one of our ten guests and her belongings were still in the home when the cleaning crew arrived. Ultimately, everything was resolved, but the owner was very anxious about both issues and a good bit of communication was required. I would advise to confirm all plans in detail ahead of time, which we would have preferred to do as well, but is not always possible with travel.

Felt Like Home

The minute I opened the door and stepped into the warm and inviting open kitchen/living/dining area, I felt right at home. My family needed a short term rental during January and February and we were all sad to leave when March rolled around! This home is so comfortable, spacious but cozy, quiet but walking distance to town, convenient to large box stores, and only a one minute walk away from great sunsets over the water. We'd spend another two months here in a second!! Thank you so much for such a wonderful rental experience!

Great long weekend with friends

I rented this house with a group of friends for a weekend wedding. The house comfortably slept 12 of us and the location could not have been better as it allowed us to walk to and from town without having to carpool. Everything in the house was clean, comfortable and most of the appliances and bathrooms were brand new. We had a fantastic time and would recommend staying at this property for any type of Cape vacation!
