We had a great stay in your home. Quiet, peaceful, and away from it all (and thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything we needed), yet close enough to all the conveniences (shopping, restaurants, etc.) of Mashpee, and to nearby ocean beaches, and hiking trails. The rest of the Cape was also within an easy drive. We especially enjoyed morning coffee on the deck overlooking the Pond, and using the kayaks and canoe. We hope to return.

Lovely views and awesome porch

Santuit pond is an incredible place, box turtles, swans, turquoise insects… lovely view of the pond from almost every room in the house. The pond was also good for swimming so that was a definite plus! The neighborhood is quiet and the house has everything we needed, spacious, airy and with a killer coffee machine!! The owner was super responsive too!!

Peaceful Retreat

We enjoyed our stay here and the ability to kayak and fish right in the back yard. Renee was always a text away and easy to contact if we had any questions.There were plenty of rooms and space for clothes, just like making it your own home. Everything is there and we would definitely rent there again. Thank you

Relaxing stay in a beautiful location

The house was perfect for our trip with 5 adults. All the bedrooms were comfortable and there was good space in the house and outdoor areas to accommodate everyone and give us all our own space. The location is perfect. Easy access to so many beaches and restaurants. The neighborhood was lovely and the spectacular lake views made the mornings and evenings very enjoyable! The house was well stocked in toiletries and supplies with all the appliances and access to a washer and dryer. Renee was extremely responsive and very communicative. It was a pleasure to stay and we would definitely come back on our next trip.

Family vacation June 2023.

House is in a nice quiet location. Great view of the lake, and we took advantage of using the canoe, kayak's and fire pit. Very close location to restaurants, beaches and ferries for visiting Martha's vineyard and Nantucket. The house did have a musty smell to it and it could use a good spring cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our vacation in the area.

Wonderful house for family gathering

The Mashpee house was perfect for our family getaway. The lake is right in the backyard, and we enjoyed swimming and watching the bird life. There are some nice walks in the woods in the Santuit Pond Preserve that you can walk to from the house, and it's about a 20 minute drive to the beach. The house had plenty of room for 6 adults, one baby, and one dog to comfortably stay--comfy living room, beautiful front yard, well-equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms (3 of which overlook the lake). Renee was a communicative and helpful host, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Cape getaway, especially families.

Family Vacation

The property was the perfect size for our group of 5 adults. 5 stars for sure. Renee was very responsive to questions. The house was clean and comfortable. Exactly as pictured. The only drawback for me was the drive to the rest of the cape. We normally stay closer to mid cape but loved the kayaks and beautiful water views so tried somewhere new. It was definitely worth the drives but took some getting used to:)) I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet place a little off the beaten path.

Great “family cape house” vibe

Overall, my friends and I were very impressed with this location. We brought our small boats, we were able to launch them at the boat ramp (down the street) and dock them on the dock. The lake (pond) was a lot bigger than expected. The house was a lot bigger than I thought as well, with plenty of rooms and comfy beds for everyone. The kitchen had most things (utensils and cookware), but we ended up buying some little odds and ends just to get us through the week. There were a few Window AC units that worked ok, some better than others, but we stayed cool on the hot days. We never ended up using the fire pit unfortunately but it was a nice touch. The deck was great to just sit and watch all the birds/ducks. We did have a bit of an issue with bugs, but being near the water/woods like this it makes sense. Be careful not to leave the door or windows open :) We had a fantastic week and it was exactly what we were looking for! Thank you!
