Perfect Summer Getaway

My family and I loved our stay at Starfish Cottage! Located on a peaceful dead end street, we took advantage of the nearby walks along the bay and the local beaches. Close proximity to great restaurants with water views, a winery and brewery. The house was pristine with a great deck and backyard and it had everything we needed and more! Highly recommend and looking forward to hopefully coming back again next year!

Great getaway for our family!

Lisa was the best all throughout the process. She knew we were driving up from the Southeast and made sure everything was easy for us when we arrived! The house was super clean, plenty of space, totally turn-key, well stocked with kitchen items, perfect for a smaller family. We enjoyed every minute we had to enjoy your great home! I especially loved the wall of liquor labels at the bar in the basement- so cool!

Disappointing

The yard is not pleasant. Rickety fence that is half fallen down, weeds all around. Don’t be fooled by the photos. House had NOT been cleaned prior to our arrival. We spent the first half hour clearing cobwebs with bugs caught in them. Dirty dishes in dishwasher. An empty roll of toilet paper, an almost empty roll of paper towels in the kitchen, used sponge in sink, dirty utensils in the utensil holder. Empty ice cube trays. Really, nothing says “we don’t care” more than these first impressions. Coffee maker was old and dirty. We even bought vinegar to try to clean it but the coffee still tasted like burnt plastic. We ended up driving to Dunkin every morning to get coffee. So, either plan on doing that or bring your own coffee maker. Overall, the worst house we have ever rented in 30 years.

Great Stay!

We just returned from our stay at the Starfish Cottage. The home is adorable, clean and comfortable. It was the perfect size for 3-4 adults, or a family with two children. The area is very quiet. We did bring our dog and she loved walking down to the pond at the end of the street. There’s not much room there, especially if tide is in but it was a nice option. The beaches are close by, as is everything you need. The yard isn’t fully fenced but that just required more walks with the dog. The house is as advertised. Lisa will share what to bring. I will add that as of September 1, 2021, the town of Falmouth doesn’t sell small bottles of water (only gallons). A noble step in protecting the environment, but you need to prepare. I would definitely recommend staying in Lisa’s home. We will keep it on our list of places to return to, only staying away when our adult children are able to join our September getaway Thank you Lisa!.

Stay here if you're coming to Cape Cod!

This is an absolutely lovely cottage. It is true to the pictures you see. The neighborhood is quiet and the pond at the end of the street is lovely. We grilled often and found the home to have all the creature comforts. Bristol Beach is just down the road--not a bad jog if you're a runner. If you are not use to the shelly beaches of the area, visit Chapaquiot Beach. Soft sad, shallow waters, lovely. Tuesday's/Thursday's you can get a tour of Nobska lighthouse. We also ventured to Yarmouth to the Whydah Pirate Museum. It's far more archaeological than expected--so take that into account if you have young kids--you can't touch anything. It was still a great museum. Restaurant's tried on Main Street: Liam McGuire's, Anejo, and Divine. All GREAT! Divine for great pizza; Anejo for great margarita's. Lastly, never had we had such a responsive and gracious owner. She provided great details that really help drive our trip to be great. Looking forward to coming back one day.

Perfect Cape getaway!

My husband, 8 month old, and small dog stayed at this house for our vacation and had a wonderful time! The property was very well cared for, with a beautiful yard and deck in a great, quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the deck at night and grilling out during the day. There is a great playground across the street at the elementary school with a big field for our dog to run in. We had a great vacation and this house was a perfect home away from home!
