Host greeted us upon our arrival. He showed us around the place and how everything worked. The location was excellent. We were there for the weekend for a wedding and we were very happy with the accommodations. We slept well. It was very quiet and the beds were excellent.

Perfect for us!

What a charming old house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the host Ed couldn't have been nicer and greeted us as we arrived. He showed us around and told us about the house. The location was perfect for us to visit our son who is working in the area. House was super clean and our two small under 20lb. (noisy) dogs were welcome. The dresser in the bedroom is the same antique dresser I have at home!! I would stay again. We had fun watching the wild turkeys that were nearby. Thanks again Ed.

Ed is a very nice man. The house is rustic, which I enjoyed. The location was perfect for proximity to the event I was attending. Regrettably, these were the only positive things about my visit. What to know before booking this rental: 1. The house is difficult to navigate if you have any mobility issues (1" floor height difference between rooms, laundry located in low ceiling basement, treacherous stairs, complicated door lock, one bathroom on second floor) 2. I arrived after a long journey for posted check in at 4:00pm, but Ed did not leave the unit until 6:30pm and it still wasn't cleaned sufficiently. 3. It is not mentioned, but Ed lives about 50 feet from the rental house with no privacy. I would not have booked this rental had I known the owner could observe me due to a prior bad experience. 4. The heat/AC system (mini splits) is locked by the landlord. I could adjust the heat between 62 and 70. I could not turn off the heat/ turn on the AC/ increase the heat without making a phone call to Ed to change it from his phone. This was very inconvenient as I visited during the season change and required AC one day and heat the next. 5. Be sure to indicate you need each of the three bedrooms. Ed locked the bedrooms that wont be in use. I had to specifically request access to the additional bedrooms on the second day for friends to stay. 6. Kitchen dishes/ utensils were dusty and greasy, and linens had hair in them. A professional cleaner between visitors would be a big help.

The thermostats are next to the units and locked. You have to sit beneath them if you want to be comfortable in the drafty house. You must call (not text) to change the temperature.

Warm welcome to the Cape

Ed was a lovely host. The house is very close to the Cape Cod Canal and Shawme-Crowell State Park, so a great location. Fantastic to have a full house with central a/c during hot summer months!

Cape code trip

The house was great, had all the amenities you’d expect, the mini split setup was great for peace of mind with your pets. The location was great and close to a lot of the attractions in Sandwich you would want to go to. Ed was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed.

Overall, for the price, this was a good stay. The good: Price, friendly owner, clean house, dogs allowed. The bad:There were some parts that were a little much, but I like to think they were one-off situations. In any case, our check-in time was Friday at 4, but we weren’t permitted to enter until 5:30 because of electrical issues. Our checkout time was Monday at 10:00 am, but we were awoken by an electrician at 8 am, and the owner and electrician were in the house until we left. It felt like we were being babysat as we were packing up and getting ready to say goodbye to each other. The lock was difficult to use and we often got locked out of the house. A lot of things in the house are locked — the AC temperatures, downloading apps on the tv (nothing crazy, I think it was just Hulu or something). A mouse ran across the kitchen counter one night, but we didn’t see it again once we hid any food in the fridge. Pests are unavoidable in an old cape house though. I hate giving tough reviews like this, especially when the owner was so nice, but I feel like for other people like us who might be going on their annual family vacation, it’s important to know what you’re staying at. Again, overall, we had a great time, that’s why I gave 4 stars.
