Eastham home near the water & bike path; large screened in porch - Pet Friendly

I love the way you describe our setting....it's spot on. Thank you.

Thank you Donna, It is always great when someone like you appreciates the results of the work that went into renovating the house. It has been a work in progress for a few years and we are very happy with the house now....and we were happy to share it with you and your family; we are so glad you enjoyed it. Let us know when your plans for next summer get settled; we would love to have you visit our house again.A visit to Cape Cod during the summer is always a winner. Phil

I spoke with Erica prior to her arrival just to make sure she had all the information about the house that she needed. From that conversation, I immediately knew that she would be a wonderful guest and I was certainly right. She was gracious, appreciative of our home and an excellent communicator. I hope all our future guests are as responsible and pleasant as Erica.

Anne, we are very sorry about your disappointment in our home and are baffled by several of the items you pointed out. We take your feedback very seriously and have looked into the issues you mentioned. You stated that the air conditioning doesn't work, however, our home does not have A/C (central nor window units) and isn't advertised as such. The house is equipped with ceiling fans in every room. You noted in your review that the house has only one TV; the house is only advertised to have one TV. We were very concerned with the other items you mentioned so we contacted the current guests to see if they are experiencing any of the same issues. Regarding water coming in via the skylight during storms, there have been a couple very strong rain storms this week similar to last week and they reported no leaks. We are wondering if when you were at the house, the skylights may not have been closed and the rain came in. Related to the faulty outlets, there are 30+ outlets in the house and the current guests did encounter one faulty outlet and found another working nearby. Regarding the mildew and mustiness, Eastham is surrounded by water and is a marine environment. When it is humid here, especially in July and August, mustiness is a constant challenge in all homes, new and old. There have been significant rain storms over the last several weeks. Given that the screened in porch has a roof and is surrounded by trees (which is great in the very hot sunny weather), when there are rain storms it takes time to dry out and mildew can form very quickly (within days). The house is thoroughly cleaned each week with special attention to any mustiness in the summer months. You mentioned ants. Our current guests did see a couple of ants in the kitchen and then noticed they had left the sugar container ajar which, of course, attracted the ants. They put the jar away and resolved the issue. The backyard is not manicured but rather a typical beachy, natural environment, consistent with the majority of yards in our neighborhood and the Eastham beach community. With all that said, we welcome and are very attentive to our guests' feedback, however, it seems several of the issues you stated are not issues at all (no AC and no skylight leaks) or were caused by human oversight. With a 4.9 rating covering 35 reviews, it’s clear that our other guests consistently felt differently than you about our home.
