Drew was one of the best landlords we’ve ever had on a vacation property. He was very responsive to the few questions that we had and asked proactively if there was anything that we needed throughout our week. The view from the porch was spectacular.

quiet, beautiful, wild

We stayed for a week in Drew's place and had such a special time. The proximity of the house to the water, use of the kayak, the view from the deck, and the Audubon land nearby were all highlights. We saw diamond back terrapins, a seal, plenty of shore birds and red foxes, and so many horseshoe crabs. Kids loved marveling at the size of the shells, riding their bikes around the island, fishing at high tide, and jumping off the LI bridge. We hope to return.

Great Location!!

The views and location of property were amazing! Beautiful sunsets and lots of beach to explore especially during low tide. Very friendly people on the island. Perfect location to get around all of Cape Cod and explore. House was perfect for two people. Awesome deck to sit out and enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. The only, very minor issue was with the grill, could use some work or even be replaced.

Outstanding Anniversary Getaway

When we pulled into the driveway, we both said, "Wow..." The location of the property is AMAZING! It is a charming cottage with everything we needed and more. The teak floors throughout were gorgeous, as well as the private back deck with spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, accompanied by the enchanting sounds of the ocean. We are already missing beach walks at low tide, and the great shell picking. It was so peaceful. The only neighbors we met were very friendly. Drew could not have been a better host; he was extremely accommodating and informative, and just a phone call away if we needed anything. Our rescue dog, BB, thoroughly enjoyed himself, too. His favorite thing was hanging on the back deck, with so much to see and smell. His nose was high in the air when he wasn't napping. We are already thinking of next year's anniversary!

Magical Cozy Cottage

My boyfriend and I feeling burnt out needed to get out of the city for some much needed R&R. We both love the ocean and find it therapeutic. Being February and cold we were looking for something ocean front with lots of windows so we could see the ocean at all times. We also wanted a place that you could easily get on the beach and go for long walks because we were bringing our pup who is obsessed with running and playing on the beach. This place was that and then some. There are 3 sliding glass doors upstairs, so you always have a view of the ocean. The tide comes way in and then goes so far out that there is plenty of space to walk and play and look for shells. The sunsets are spectacular. The cottage itself is warm and inviting. We listened to music, drank wine, played board games and took in the view, there was no reason for us to go anywhere.Drew, the host was so nice, accommodating, and very responsive from the time of inquiry to departure. We normally do not frequent the same vacation rental twice, this place however is the exception, not only will be returning same time next year (except for a longer stay) but would like to come this summer as well. Thank you again Drew for an incredible weekend.

Beautiful, restful retreat

My spouse and I wanted an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful and restful location. Our priority was great view, cozy and warm accommodation, and opportunity to explore the Cape. Drew was a great host -- and everything was as promised, with remarkable anticipation of the little things that sometimes disrupt a vacation rental: coffee filters! extra pillows! -- and binoculars to watch the bay! We were here off-season, and right on the blustery bay -- but the cottage was warm and perfect for meditation and recovery. Getting onto Lieutenant Island is a good adventure -- and the litte bit of extra effort is richly rewarded with nature, views, wildlife, a bit of isolation, and the beautiful bay. We expect to be back.

Perfect getaway!

Drew and Heather have their hands on an absolute gem! Their communication was excellent and the experience was seamless. Our first family trip with our newborn and it didn't disappoint. The location is special- we spent the day exploring Lieutenant Island and it is a true wildlife preserve. A few severe high tides brought an interesting obstacle but there are worse places to be stuck for a few hours. Looking forward to our next booking!
