This was our first trip back to Cape Cod in over a decade, and it held special meaning for our family; particularly for my 80 year-old father who grew up there.First, Iâd like to acknowledge the beauty and cleanliness of the houses. We appreciated the attention to detail and the care taken to maintain the indoor spaces. However, I feel itâs important to express a few concerns. While we missed the fine print regarding the beach restriction of 12 people, an oversight on our part, I wish the matter had been addressed more calmly. Being admonished from the top of the stairs didnât reflect the tone of respectful dialogue I had hoped for, especially considering the nature of our gathering. We werenât hosting parties, just short visits from family members reconnecting quietly during the day.There were also some maintenance issues that impacted the stay:The cleaning crew was still present after our 4pm check-in and the trash bins were already full from the previous guests.The leaking kitchen sink, though mentioned ahead of time, remained unfixed during our stay. Outdoor areas did not reflect the same level of care as the interior: chairs with bird droppings, moss-covered railings, and patchy landscaping along paths all detracted from the overall experience.Trash; we had to chase down the truck ourselves. The way you and your mother stalk the beach and do head counts is disturbing, and the # of messages I received from you was a distraction from time with family & dampened the mood.
