Location to town & beach was great. Cottage was listed accurate online. Communication with owner was welcoming. The cottage was a nice weekend get away.

We traveled to Hyannis for a few days and this looked like a property that would fit our needs. Most of the reviews were good, but one or two looked cautionary with regards to cleanliness and bugs in the property. We decided to try it out.I think the property is a converted garage and they ask you to park on the side of it in an alleyway off the main road. The main driveway is for the larger guest house which is another rental property. They have paved one lane between the unit and another building next to it, and it is a bit narrow. It also gets very dark back there at night. When we arrived the property was very humid and smelled like mold. There was a window AC unit, but it was not cooling, just blowing hot air. It needed aired out pretty bad. When I looked around I noticed some larger bugs crawling on the conch and wall. I grabbed some paper towels and killed them, but noticed another on the bed and in the bath tub. As I kept looking I noticed a few more dead one on the bed and counter tops. At that point I decided this was not acceptable. I understand we were the first guests of the year so maybe it needed to break in a little, but that was not going to work for me. I informed the host, but they were not comfortable refunding me unless I sent them pictures. I informed them the dead insects were still on the counter and they could see for themselves. I sent the pictures to VRBO and am in the process of requesting a refund.

This cottage is charming, quiet, clean, and private. The neighborhood is lovely, and the beach is a few minutes walk down the street.

The property is cute and small. Great location and pretty quiet neighborhood. Definitely old and outdated, but maybe that’s part of the charm? Bathroom scares me a bit, but overall good experience. Highly communicative host.

On August 19 we arrived at what we thought was our Rental only to be told that it was not our space. Our space was in a remodeled garage in the back with its own separate entrance covered covered in weeds. We open the door after getting the key in the air conditioning wasn’t on it was hot And the stench of mold permeated through the small space we opened up the house and everything out went out for a while left it completely open couldn’t close it. I turned on the air conditioning unit and the mold started pouring out. I took pictures inside the air-conditioning unit just full of mold just black full of mold. This is extremely disappointing I’m going to file a claim to have my money refunded. We had absolutely no air-conditioning the entire trip and had to put up with that mold stink for three nights because everything else was oversold in the area we couldn’t get around Signed disappointing customer!!

We had a truck and the parking was too small and we called the property manager and she sent someone to cut back the vines. The property was covered in vines to access the gate. We arrived at night and the AC wasn’t on and it took most of the night for it to cool down. There is only one small window AC unit that is very loud. Spiders were everywhere. They don’t show the bathroom and it was very dicey getting in and out of the pink jetted tub that doesn’t work. It is very rustic and located in a great area but needs a lot of work and regular maintenance.
