Great location that has you 10 minutes or less from anywhere you’d want to be. Great ice cream just a short walk away! Ellen communicates very prompt! Stayed with my wife and 2 kids, definitely worth going back.

Jonathan + family, thank you for staying with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another summer getaway. Sincerely, Ellen
The location of this VRBO is absolutely perfect, and we would highly recommend it anytime of the year. This home was so comfortable. We were able to host our local friends for her nipples and drinks before dinner at Brax. I look forward to booking again for peak season and fall foliage next year. The hosts could not have been nicer and more accommodating. You have a gem of a home.

OK but Not Worth The Price
Many other properties in Cape Cod will go out of their way to provide a great experience. This is not those properties. The house was not clean when we arrived, and food was still left in the refrigerator. We were asked to clean it ourselves. Closets were full of personal belongings so nowhere to store luggage. Also, only bedrooms are air-conditioned. Location and parking were good, however.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen
Your hosts grew up spending summers sailing on Buzzards Bay. For the past 30 years we have home based in Denver, Colorado and we added our dream summer Seaquelle to our family in 2022. It checks all the boxes: walking distance to the water + town, light + bright, and provides a joyful environment to recharge.
