This house is in a great location on quiet lane, a short hike to the beach. The beds were comfortable, the ac worked great, and the backyard overlooking the forest was peaceful. We would stay here again.

Peaceful Getaway

Lovely and livable house in a convenient location. The private backyard is perfect for morning coffee and listening to the birds. Our dog loved watching all the chipmunks scamper around. Kitchen has just about everything you would need - one small note is that the listing mentions a kettle, but we could not find one. It does have an instant hot water tap, though. Also, a small desk fan might be a nice addition.Quiet street with friendly neighbors. Easy walk to the beach, quick drive to shops and restaurants. Central A/C worked great for the 2 days we needed it. For bikers, we highly recommend the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Bike up to Wellfleet and get lunch at PB Boulangerie - you won't regret it. No complaints here - we hope to visit again!

Perfect Beach Getaway on Cape Cod!

We had a fantastic stay at this Cape Cod rental! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach, which made it easy to catch both sunrises and sunsets. The house was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed, from beach chairs to kitchen essentials. We especially loved the outdoor shower after a day in the sand.The neighborhood was quiet and family-friendly, yet close to great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside vacation on the Cape. We’d love to come back!

Comfortable and Quiet

The home is as described. Nice quite location with numerous shops and restaurants nearby. Neighborhood is safe and friendly, always a hello from neighbors when out walking the dog. The home could use a little updating, but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The VRBO online description of key lock box location is wrong, but we managed to find the lock box. The VRBO APP describes perfectly where the key is located. We would rent again.

Charming, quiet stay close to it all!

We had a lovely stay at this quiet house. We loved walking to Craigville Beach and through Centerville to the Country Store. The kitchen was packed with amenities and we loved that it has two bathrooms. There was an occasional slight musty smell near the entrance, but we didn't notice it in the rest of the house. The main bed was comfortable. The central a/c was great to have. Overall, the location was fantastic. Thanks!

Lovely quite location

Great location. Short walk to the beach (0.7Miles). The 1/3 mile distance from the wonderful 4 seas Ice Cream store makes it difficult not to go there daily!!! House is very clean, well stocked with paper products, detergent, condiments etc.

Excellent stay

We had an excellent two week stay at this property. It was not easy to find a good place that we could bring our dog along. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and only a 10 minute walk to Craigville Beach, which was great. The house was clean and well stocked, could use some fresh paint in the bedrooms, but overall a relaxing stay - just what we needed. The DVD player wasn’t working and a new one arrived in a few days. Thanks to Cheri for her quick response!

Great stay on Horseshoe!!

Our family really enjoyed our stay in this home. The home is stocked with everything you need. It is especially kid friendly -with toys, games, and a basement full of beach/outdoor equipment. The space was just right for myself, husband, 3 year old son, and our dog (such a plus to bring our dog!). In addition, both grandmothers came for the first week and there was still plenty of space. The backyard is lovely - especially in the evenings when the breezes go through the trees. The beach isn't far by car; it's about 3 minutes away. I highly suggest driving as Cheri provides a parking pass (if she didn't you'd have to pay $), otherwise the walk is a bit far -especially if you have children or tend to tire out after a day on the beach. The location of this home is in a quiet neighborhood with privacy, while a quick drive to many things. We enjoyed the local library and playground, as well as went into Hyannis often. We are already talking about our return!!! :)

Great place, very private setting in the backyard that my dog and family enjoyed very much. Everything you need for the beach and your stay are there. The thought of everything. The collection of reviews and recommendations for Cape Cop were very helpful. Great location, near beaches and many quaint towns.

Cozy and Quiet Cape beach close to everything

We have been vacationing here for years with our two small children and dog. The home is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to the beach and activities. It is well stocked and has everything you could possible need while on vacation. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and has made many recent upgrades to the home making your stay even more enjoyable. Visit Craigville beach, 4Seas ice-cream, the playground, library, candy store or Centerville Museum. It is all within walking distance! Or Take a 5 minute drive into downtown Osterville for shopping and dinning.
