We had a mixed experience:
The good: great location, great backyard, cottage met our needs (almost—see below).
The bad: Listed as being an air conditioned cottage, but there was only one window unit in one bedroom. The living room AC was broken and the second bedroom had no AC at all. Host said she had already known about this issue but didn’t notify us beforehand. It was 82 degrees inside the cottage when we arrived. The host did not do anything to fix the AC situation during our stay and when we requested partial refund she stopped replying to our messages.
We and our 4-year old daughter were very uncomfortable for the first few nights of our stay. Additionally, the bedroom floors had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, and the (east-facing!) bedroom window had no curtains—we got up with the sun whether we wanted to or not.

Not bad for the money
Cute house. Old school cape. Comfortable for a family of 4 (or 5). Close to beach. Beach is great for young children (calm warm water). Host is attentive and reachable.

Totally disappointed.
1) The cleaners showed up at 4 pm when we were checking in. They only spent 20 minutes cleaning.
2) The front and back lawn had high grass. My husband had to borrow a law mower from a neighbor and mow the lawns himself.
3) The living room AC never worked from the start. Only had a few fans. It was a sweat barn all week.

Don't bother with this one
The prior reviews mentioned that the exterior needed some maintenance. Understatement. I can understand overgrown bushes, etc. But the owner needs to give serious attention to the inside. Broken or missing screens meant we had to run the AC, which always sounded like it was on its last legs. The mattresses and sofa need replacing - didn't dare try to figure out which one was the sleep sofa. The particle board in the kitchen cabinets is crumbling. Time to for serious renovations.

LOVED our stay!
We loved our stay at this lovely home on Lewis Bay! The house was large and offered all that we needed. Carmela was a wonderful host and answered all questions right away. Our favorite part was the short walk to an absolutely beautiful beach! There were very few people on the beach even though we were here in August! Swimming was wonderful! The home is located in a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. Beds were comfortable and the home was inviting. We loved being close enough (1 hr 45 mins) to Boston, so we also had a wonderful visit to the city. Perfect central location to mid and lower Cape activities and great restaurants! Thanks so much Carmela for sharing your lovely home with us!

Tout à très bien été, nous avons adoré notre séjour. L’endroit est super bien situé par rapport à la plage et aux activités familiales des environs.
Petite note; la base de lit dans la chambre des maîtres est à changer une roue est manquante et la barre transversale ne tient plus.

West Yarmouth cottage
We enjoyed our week long stay! The cottage was your basic cape cottage, bedrooms were fine and bathroom and outdoor shower worked fine . The grounds def needed work . Was very overgrown . That didn’t affect our stay but it looked nicer in the pictures . It is a very short walk to the beach and it’s a very nice neighborhood . Close to shopping and restaurants . Over all a very nice vacation

West Yarmouth Retreat
Location was excellent. Far enough off Rt 28 to be quiet, but still easy access to all stores, etc. Beach was small, but warm water and soft sand made if quite nice. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Also, a nice neighborhood feel to the place, unlike a lot of cottages that we have rented before.

Very close to the beach
My family enjoyed our stay despite suboptimal weather. The biggest advantage of this property is that it is very close to the beach, 5-7 minute walk. There were a lot of beautiful hydrangeas along the way, which added to our enjoyment. The swimming was good too. The house is older but we found everything we needed. Nice backyard. Importantly, Carmela (the owner) was very responsive to our needs/questions.

Had a great time in this cozy cottage. The cottage was clean and comfortable. A very short walk to the local beach which was great for the kids. The dog loved walking to the beach as well. Easy access to restaurants and activities. Definitely would recommend this cottage.

Nice place for a family
Very nice house with everything you need. The beach is in Lewis bay, shallow water equals warm water. It’s also at a short walk distance which makes it easy to go to after a day of visiting even with a 2 years old toddler. The outside shower is a big plus. We had a great time!

Lessons learned from reserviing on line
The house was in a great place and the backyard was very nice. When we went into the house, we encountered a very musty smell which was partly due to the fact that the furniture was very old and it had been closed up. We got the 2 air conditioners and several fans going to cool the interior down. The cleaners had done a very poor job. The floors in the entire house were still sandy. I don't know when the floor had been washed previously, but we had to buy a mop and clean the kitchen floor several times before all the dirt and grime were removed. When we went to make coffee the first morning, we found the grounds from the previous renter still in the pot. The cleaners didn't even check those things out. We were told to bring our linens and towels which is common practice on the Cape, but thank goodness I brought a couple of dishtowels because there were none there. That was not mentioned originally. The furniture was not the same that had been pictured in the listing. It was very old and uncomfortable. The couch could have been vacuumed carefully to get the sand off the cushions. The other thing that surprised me was that there were ant traps around the house. Our dog managed to find one and was chewing on it. I removed one in one of the bedrooms. I understand that some kind of deterrent might be needed, but not something that could hurt a dog (especially since this was a dog friendly rental). I have learned a big lesson. We will only rent through a realtor and after we have been able to see the residence in person. Carmela was very nice and helpful in many ways, but when you try to manage a rental from a long distance it isn't always successful.

Best vacation in a long time!
Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach, this rental provided me with just the right amount of peace and quiet. It was the best vacation I have had in a very long while.
The only negative thing I can say is that when I arrived, it didn’t seem like it had been recently cleaned. No worries, I cleaned upon arrival and again before I left. Other than that, the house and the location was just what I needed.

Perfect/quiet location, lovely walk to the beach
The cottage is on a quiet sandy lane close to a nice beach perfect for walks with our pups. Location makes this home a wonderful getaway. Carmela makes the rental process pleasant and easy! Thanks for responding to all my emails so quickly. When we thought there was a fenced yard and found there wasn't on arrival, Carmela offered to provide us with a dog pen to use in the back yard. The AC in the queen bedroom and the living room made the humid nights comfortable as well as plenty of fans throughout.

Great place to spend summer days in the Cape. Loved to only walk 5 minutes to the beach!
This house was perfect for us, loved the fact that we only had to walk to the beach 5 minutes, people around were very friendly, the house was clean and comfortable. The only down side was that it rained for one day and the house has direct tv, unfortunately direct tv does not work when is raining. Overall we enjoyed our stay. I will definitely try to get the same house next summer.

Hidden gem
This is the cutest coziest little cottage. It was so homie and had plenty of room for the 5 of us. My kids and dog enjoyed it very much. Everyone felt right at home the entire week.
The neighborhood is so quiet during the day and most nights. It's perfect for getting some much needed sleep and relaxation. Neighbors were very nice and friendly. There were paths for biking, walking, and enjoying the weather with the dog and kids. Beach was great, we went there in the morning with our dog and walked to the other one that has swings for my boys. Seagull beach is only a 10 min bike ride and great for evening strolls.
There's so much to do and see around and everything is literally right in Yarmouth so we didn't have to drive far for anything.
The owner is so great with making sure you have everything and responds almost immediately with any questions or concerns. She even had a broom dropped off for us. So sweet of her.
The only negative, was no washer and dryer. We have two little ones, always getting dirty and messy, so that would have been great. But we made do, without going to the launder mat. Other than that we would come back in heart beat. Wish we could have had some nicer beach weather. But over all the weather was great for outdoor activities with the kids throughout the week. We had a great stay. Highly recommended.

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Love the area, its activities and also because of the warm water for swimming (from the gulf stream). The house is very near the beaches--just a short walk on a sandy path takes you to the water. The sandy path also makes you feel the beach atmosphere when you walk out the door and yet a short distance in the opposite direction takes you to dining, activities for adults and kids and shopping. This is an area great for adults and kids.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Swimming, good neighbors, biking, lots of birds, glorious sunrises and sunsets. This is a very lively area close to the airport, ferries, Melody tent, dining, shopping, activites for kids and adults.
