My husband and I rented this gem for the past week. We booked based on the pictures and reviews, and what I knew was a great location. I spent my childhood summers around the corner where family still resides today. I knew the moment we stepped inside that I had come home. Everything was as described or photographed. The owner was there to greet us and welcome us. We settled in quickly.
We were joined for the first two nights by my stepson and his girlfriend. Being ardent foodies, we ate very well and the kitchen was up to the task. We took the liberty of moving the microwave off the counter and hiding it under the kitchen table. No micro cooking for us this week! The table in the family room and the outdoor table set were perfect for indoor or outdoor meals. Coffee in the family room window was great for watching the morning walkers, joggers, and kids of all ages on foot, scooters, or bikes. Reading other reviews, you may hear mention of the friendly fox. He came to the back door to say hello one morning but scampered away quickly as if he wanted to just let us know that he was not the figment of anybody's vacation imagination.
Our stay included two beach BBQs, a rainy day in sweat pants watching movies and eating pizza, and a Friday afternoon mini-reunion with family in the back yard. Perfect from beginning to end. This house is well equipped for every adventure. The garage, with a little hunting, yielded beach chairs, bbq equipment, bikes and locks, laundry equipment, and everything else we needed to enjoy our Cape surroundings. It should also be noted that Forest St. Beach at the end of the road, is one of the few in town that does not require a sticker for parking. While it is a very quick walk to the beach, having parking handy was great on the days we bbq'd and needed to get all our equipment to the beach.
We have decided that one week was not enough. We're already planning our return for a two week stay next year!
