This was the best overall experience we have had renting a house on the Cape (and we have been doing this for years). From the booking, to preparing for our visit the host Casper was very thorough. He sent a very helpful email the week before our rental to help us prepare for our visit. He was very easy to reach during our stay when I had a question to ask. On arrival to the house, it was better than expected. First of all, it was very, very clean. The cleanest house we have ever rented. It is beautiful, immaculately cared for and a perfect lay out. The wrap around porch was our place to be for morning coffee (or espresso as they have an espresso machine) and night time board games and conversations. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors very kind. We loved walking around the neighborhood enjoying the ocean views. The walk to the beach is short and safe. We would walk back and forth from the house to the beach several times a day. The house has all the beach gear that you need. It is very easy to get to nearby restaurants, mini golf and markets. If you are staying home the kitchen has everything you need, a large dining room table and plenty of seating upstairs and down stairs. I really can't say enough good things about this house and it's owners. This house is very well kept and the hosts really care about their house and your experience there. If you are looking for a vacation home where you can relax, enjoy the ocean and time with family and friends, this is the house. Our one week was heaven and we are already looking forward to next summer. Thank you Casper and Olga!

The house and location were great! Very close to the beach and there was a lovely deck with a grill as well. The outdoor shower was convenient for returning from the beach. The owner was super responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely stay again!

We stayed at this house for a week with 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 5-7). The house is on a quiet street, the kitchen is well appointed, and it is spacious. The walk to the beach with the kids was 10min-it’s not bad but it’s definitely more than steps. The downstairs bedroom that sleeps 4 can get very warm (as it did when we were there) and was a tad uncomfortable (even with the fans running). It would be nice to have a TV upstairs -the adults and kids could not enjoy a movie together downstairs (due to seating). Casper is extremely easy to chat with and gets back to you very quickly. Overall, it is a nice house but it is expensive and would benefit from a few small upgrades.

The house met or exceeded all expectations. It was squeaky clean, beautifully furnished and well maintained. The kitchen is modest, but stocked with everything one could possibly need. The yard is great for kids and the walk to the beach is convenient - even with four grandsons. The owner is very responsive in terms of both timeliness and thoroughness. In summary, it was an enjoyable family vacation and we would love to repeat it next year.

Outstanding in every way!

Pros: the house is spacious and well-appointed with comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is very well stocked with cookware, plates, etc. Bayview Beach is gorgeous. Large deck with nice grill and big table for outdoor dining. Cons: the house was listed as having central A/C. We never imagined this meant half the house, and only 25% of the bedrooms. When we arrived, we asked the owner and learned that A/C is only on the 2nd floor (which has 1 bedroom for 2 ppl, kitchen & common areas). 3 bedrooms downstairs were over 80 degrees at night with small fans provided. Listing has since been changed to state this, but was not at the time of booking. 7 ppl downstairs were extremely uncomfortable for sleeping and had to sleep on couches upstairs for most nights. While it was a hot week, we booked a summer vacation hoping for hot weather to enjoy the beach and thought we would have a nice cool house to return to. Upon alerting the host, he only offered for us to pick up cooling fans at Home Depot (2 different trips and not super close). When a partial refund was requested for this extremely expensive listing that was not as advertised, he refused and only offered a discount for future booking, which we didn't want, given our experience. This was very disappointing given the price point of this property and description of A/C in VRBO listing, emails to me prior to the visit specifically mentioning A/C, and the pdf document describing the house. None of these materials provided to us prior to the trip stated that half the house does not have A/C. We never would have booked. Also note that it is not "steps" from the beach as also advertised. A brisk walk is about 7 minutes, and with beach gear and kids, expect ~10-12 minutes. This is fine, but also not as advertised. We had 4 young children and the walk was longer than we wanted and up and down a hill with no sidewalk or shoulder on the road. We specifically messaged the host regarding the walk prior to booking, and were promised 2-3 minutes, which is what we thought we were paying for. When raised with the host after arriving, this was dismissed as "wrong”. Upon complaint, the host claimed he had never had an issue in “years" of renting the house even though it was purchased last year (Mar 2020) and his public online Twitter activity complains of a refund he had to pay to a former guest while using a different platform last year.

We really enjoyed our stay. We all appreciated the two family style rooms and all the extras included with the house.

We stayed for one week with our young daughter (15 months) and it was perfect for us. A short walk with the stroller to the beach, perfectly equipped kitchen and internet/tv worked flawlessly. The owner was extremely service minded and responded promptly to all questions (like where is the blender, do you have a way of baby proofing the access to the stairs etc.). We felt safe with our daughter and love the area. Thank you again!

Stayed for six weeks in April-May. House was spacious, clean and so much sunlight! Had all the amenities you/family could need and owner was very attentive and responsive. Would definitely recommend.

The pictures and listing for this house are great, and set high expectations. The home delivers on a few of these expectations, with a light-filled, open-concept common room with a large wrap-around deck, and a bright well-appointed master bedroom with en suite bath.However, missing from the description are a number of features that we wish we knew about prior to renting:-- The downstairs bedrooms are afterthoughts. Families wishing to share this home with another or to have sleep kids downstairs should be prepared to negotiate who gets the two dark, dank lower-level rooms (4 twin beds, one queen, one crib) with broken windows, non-working ceiling bulbs, no lamps, and distressed furniture. -- The house is "not steps from the beach." Despite its proximity to the beach, the actual walk will take 10-15 minutes based on available paths. Families with little ones should bring a cart to carry beach gear, and be careful for a long walk along Shore Drive. -- The master bathroom lacks privacy. There is no door to the toilet area, just a hanging plastic shower curtain in place of a door. -- The outdoor space is largely unusable. The deck lacks outdoor dining furniture, with just a few small chairs. The backyard is empty of any such amenities as well. -- A difficult and un-helpful owner. We have rented multiple homes on the Cape from wonderful owners who clearly care for their properties and guests. Unfortunately, this owner failed to demonstrate the the communication and care that we’ve seen from all other Cape owners. We arrived to find a missing kitchen cabinet door, but when we informed the owner about this, we never received a response. Conversely, when we checked out we were assessed for damaged the unit, even though the damage was done by a previous renter. Renters should be prepared to exhaustively document every missing or broken item in the unit so they can not be subjected to unfair damage claims by the owner. In the end, while beautiful to look at in pictures, the owner's behavior and less-than-expected downstairs bedrooms, location, bathroom privacy and outdoor space make this rental not worth the money.

Amazing stay! The house is located down a private and quiet road, which made for a nice area. What makes the location even better is the short walk to the beach. The house was perfect for a girls’ weekend away. Some rooms look slightly different than they do in the pictures, but not in a bad way at all. It actually seemed more spacious in person. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. The outdoor shower was a nice bonus. I really enjoyed hanging out on the deck, but it would be even better with more seating/a dinner table. I would definitely book this stay again!

Great house to spread out with your family. It sits on a quiet little side street with no traffic. Filled with light and very private. Beautiful walk to the beach. We loved the 2 sitting areas and the large kitchen table. Plenty of parking for guests to come visit or walk over to the beach with you. The couches were comfy and so were the beds. The owner was responsive to questions. The only things that could be improved were extra seating on the deck and an upgraded oven (but who wants to cook on vacation). Great vacation!
