Perfect Hyannis Cottage

Terrible experience
The pictures of this house do not tell the real story with this property. The carpet, sofa and rug were absolutly filthy. The smell of damp was overwhelming when we arrived and it stayed despite our efforts at leaving the windows open. It was a very unpleasant musty smell that was horrible. There is too much old furniture that simply takes up too much space which is limited upstairs. Two full suites of furniture - why???? The outside space looks lovely in the pictures but is actually dirty, with filthy worn out cushions thrown everywhere, dog poo not cleaned up from previous visitors, water bottles left there and the whole place had an air of neglect about it. There was a toilet seat in a box sitting on the table when we arrived and a box with an old coffee machine just sitting in the middle of the floor. There was no kettle and the kitchen cupboards are full of old kitchen equipement that no one has bothered to throw out. The lamps beside the bed are not the ones in the picture and are unsafe in our experience. I find it hard to believe the previous reviews as they bear no resemblence to the reality of our experience. This house represents very bad value for money and it was not a pleasant experience staying here. On the upside the toilet and the shower did work perfectly and the area is nice.

Close to the Beach
This cottage is a short walk to a sandy, warm beach! The property was clean and the host was responsive when we had questions. This cottage is better for couples than young families - there is no door to the basement bedroom.

perfect location!
Maria’s place is clean and comfortable. It’s literally steps from the beach and a short walk to Main Street for dining and shopping. The yard is fully fenced and pets are allowed so our dog enjoyed our vacation also. The area around the house is beautiful for walking - gorgeous homes and ocean views. We’ve stayed at Maria’s place twice so far and are hoping to return again.

Had a great stay and would recommend
My wife and I stayed at the property for a week. We really enjoyed the location of the property, which was very close to the beach as well as the downtown area. FYI, we loved the Sea Street Cafe for breakfast, which is right up the street. The house itself was very clean and although modestly sized, the space is very well utilized. The property had everything we needed for our vacation including A/C, which being by the beach is very nice to cut the humidity. It always felt great when coming back from the beach or a walk and slept great each night. By the end of the week it was beginning to feel like home. We would recommend this property.

Perfect Cozy Nest!
This was the perfect little nest situated in the perfect spot for seeing all of the Cape. Even though it was small (which is what I wanted), it was bright, light, and very open feeling. Super clean. We also loved the little enclosed courtyard which was the perfect shady spot to have a glass of wine and sort our shells. The host was incredibly nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this property.

Great little cottage
My husband and I stayed for 5 nights. The cottage was clean and perfect for what we needed (also was able to have our dog with us!). It’s a short walk to the beach, which was wonderful. The beach was perfect with very little crowds (after Labor Day). It’s close to all the shops and restaurants (about a 5 min drive at most). The backyard was private and we enjoyed the fire pit. Maria was quick to answer any questions I had. Highly recommended for couples or if you have a small child (it not very big but plenty of room).

Excellent location
The cottage only had the bare essentials -- but that didn't matter because the location was great. There is so much to do in Hyannis and the surrounding towns. The cottage is a 5 minute walk to a very beautiful beach, less than a 5 minute drive to downtown Hyannis where there are a ton of good restaurants and bars. 20-30 minute drive to Brewster and Dennis where we spent a lot of time walking on the tidal flats with our dog. The little beach neighborhood felt very quiet and safe -- would highly recommend over staying near main street. The cottage does have a fully fenced in yard/patio area which was convenient for our dog, the few hours that we spent "at home" and we could leave her outside.

Cottage close to the beach
We enjoyed our time together & being within walking distance of the non-busy beach was great! We had an enjoyable fire on the last night to top the vacation off. The cottage was functional for those who would be out more than they are in, an efficiency with more privacy. Neighbors were quiet as well. Easy to access the location and pretty close to everything you want to do. There are things that need to be addressed and I will send these along in a separate communication.

Cozy Cottage
Overall, we had a great week here! The cottage was very clean and in a great location for a short walk to the beach and downtown. My husband and I were very happy with the inside. It had what we needed for two people. The outside left very little to be desired. The landscape was not at all what is in the pictures. The yard was full of branches, leaves, random trash and old dirty furniture we wouldn’t sit on. The front yard was littered with rotten apples from a neighboring tree. I spent time each day clearing the apples from the walkways. If the outside was kept up with, this would be the perfect spot.

Thank you for all the details in this review. We appreciate your time and we absolutely expect the outdoor space at this cottage to look EXACTLY like our listing photos — each and every week of the summertime rental season without exception. So we’ve hired a new firm to care for the front and back yards. We’ve even shared your experience with them to make certain they pay special attention to the details you’ve listed here. Thank you again.

Perfect spot on Cape Cod
I loved my stay here. The house was perfect for 1 or 2 people and perfectly described on the VRBO site. The house is adorable, well supplied, and a perfect location, quiet, private and walking distance to beach. Convenient to all of the Cape has to offer. Thank you for use of your place. I totally enjoyed my visit.

Cute cozy cottage
Our family of 4 enjoyed this cute space for a few days. Close walk to one beach, short drive to several others and incredible proximity to downtown action! From pictures we didn’t realize the bedroom was not a separate enclosed room with a door which made bedtime a little tricky with kids but we were able to get creative and manage. Appreciated the ability to bring pets, our dog enjoyed the fenced in outdoor space!

Great cottage with in minutes of the beach
The cottage was clean and well equipped with the essentials. The kitchen is small, and would not recommend if you like to cook large meals, but it was great for my purposes. The host does provide access to a grill, which we enjoyed. The check-in process was seamless. Overall a great cottage in a great location.

Lovely!
This place was lovely. Clean and close to the beach! My only complaint is that there was not enough cooking supplies (pots, pans, spatula, baking sheets, etc). Because I stayed for a few weeks, I planned on cooking more but was somewhat limited by supplies. And no cleaning supplies aside from carpet cleaner. A set of drawers in the bedroom closet for clothes would have been helpful as well. Overall loved the place and appreciate the AC installation during my stay! Thank you!
