Wareham

"This home was perfect for my extended family to relax and enjoy the beach for a week. Janis was a thoughtful host, and her care for the home and her guests really shows. She uses the term "cottage" to be humorous-- the house is spacious, and essentially brand new, with all the amenities you could need. Thanks to the open living area, the porch and front yard, we felt very comfortable even with 7 adults and 2 children. Some of our favorite things about the cottage were: the outdoor shower after coming back from Sandy Beach; happy hour on the the front porch and watching the sunset after the kids were in bed; the perfect location in walking distance to the shops and restaurants at the center of Onset; playing soccer and popping bubbles on the front lawn, and kayaking around the bay. While in Onset, we also enjoyed a sunset Canal Cruise, the Falmouth Road Race, a fishing trip thanks to a boat rental at Stonebridge Marina, and a visit to the Woods Hole Aquarium. Our perfect weather was good luck, and so was finding this place! Before the week was over, we had already begun planning our trip next summer. Thank you, Janis!"

"We loved the overall look and location of the house. To have the water literally across the street is amazing! There are several nice restaurants within walking distance, including a great ice cream store. The town "square" is close too, and they put on performances in the evenings. Onset is a cool little enclave. The house looks like the quintessential beach cottage. It is obvious that the owners have put a lot of effort in giving it the beach vibe. We were a family of four (kids 10 and 13), and honestly the house felt pretty small for us. When we returned in the evenings to relax before bedtime, we were very cramped in the living room. There is a TV in the house, but I have seen laptop screens that are bigger than that one. The cable options are very limited to the local channels. This shouldn't dissuade anyone from staying here, but you should plan on bringing your iPad or laptop and stream movies via wifi if the weather is bad or you stay in for the night. I think this house is best for couples. I would definitely rent here again and recommend this house to others."
