We had a great stay at this property! View is stunning. Cabin itself is rustic but nice. Our dog loved laying outside but the sides of the property are not fenced in and neighbors are close. Was not a problem for us but wanted to mention for other dog owners. With a toddler I was worried about safety from water access but there is a secure fence between you and water so nothing to worry about. Hot when we stayed and window ACs cooled well. Outdoor shower was fantastic! No room for pack and play in twin bedroom so we ended up with baby in master. On main road but setback nicely from any noise or cars.

Such a tranquil vacation. Beautiful view right out the back door. Good food just minutes away in either direction. Cottage on the waterfront was small and cute with everything you could need.Cottage could use some minor repairs but well worth our stay!!

Adorable cottage in an ideal location. My dog thoroughly enjoyed it, too. The view of Grand Cove can't be beat. We were very pleased with the Tom Thumb cottage and look forward to returning.

The cottage is very cute. Definitely old and weathered but charming and cozy. Beautiful view. I’m not sure where the beach access is on the river near the property but it’s not directly in front of it as I thought. Very quiet neighborhood. I thought it was a good location in cape cod, about 30 minutes from Hyannis and Nauset. 1 hour from Provincetown. I did have to ask for the address and how to access the pool you could use because that was not clearly stated anywhere in the house. Property manager was easy to communicate with on Vrbo messaging and responded fairly quickly.

Overall a pretty good experience. This is my first time using vrbo. However I would not recommend with older children, as one bed is under an angled part of the roof and during the night my son (16) hit his head and arm more than once.

We had a fantastic time during our stay at this cabin on the water. The location was unbeatable - right by the water, and we loved swimming off the dock while enjoying breathtaking sunrises and sunsets each day. Fishing and crab-catching were also a blast! The cabin itself had all the essentials we needed, but it would have been even better if the kitchen had more basics like salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar. Nevertheless, we made the most of it and even tried the outdoor shower, which was a delightful experience. The layout of the cabin was great, with a lovely upstairs master and a perfect room with twin beds for kids. However, one downside was that the AC units inside seemed to have some mold due to the humid conditions, but we understand that this might be expected in such a location. Overall, I had an incredible time here, and the memories our family were great!
