This is the most quaint Onset home I've ever stayed in. The photos are accurate and honestly it's even more adorable in person. The home is well cared for and all your needs are thought of. The owner asks you to respect the home and you will because it feels as though it is your own. It's steps from a sandy beach that is great for small children. It's walking distance from Onset Village with great restaurants and entertainment. The owner is the sweetest and if you have the time to chat with her about the history of the home you will be so impressed. The home is immaculately clean. Bring your own beach towels and sand toys for kids but otherwise it has it all! If you have a lot of kids I would recommend a wagon for bringing belongings to the beach. It's a short walk. I love this home and will be back next year.

We stayed with out 3 adult children and their spouses for a week of beach, games, relaxing and lots of laughs. Our host was amazing as well as the property! Janis was easy to reach with any questions and the sweetest person! Her property was in pristine condition and perfect for 4 couples. The lawn was perfect for yard games and the porch was perfect for conversation and family photos. We will be staying there again in the future. She even gave us a welcome gift bag--so thoughtful. It was easy to see that she enjoys her guests!

Our vacation was wonderful! The house was just beautiful and had everything we needed. Janis was very accommodating and was always available for any questions we might have. The town was within walking distance to go to restaurants and to get ice cream! We had a delightful time!

We have been renting on Onset for many many years. The houses in the village often leave alot to be desired. This rental was fantastic! The decor was spot on and had more than enough room for everyone. It has a very nice yard that faces the water and is within walking distance to restaurants, activities and the beaches. Janis the owner was a great host! The WiFi and AC were much appreciated! We have already booked for next year. Thanks

Janis is a lovely host. Check in and check out was very easy. The home is beautiful and very clean. My family and I had a lot of fun going to the beach, going into town, and just hanging around the house. Janis even left the sweetest gift bag, with a bunch of little gifts and treats for us to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking in the Onset area. Thank you for a great stay Janis!

Family vacation
Our first family vacation when all of us were there at one time. Ages 4 months to 101. We had a great time! The house is perfect with the four bedrooms and the wonderful front porch. We could have not asked for a better house. The beach across the street was a bonus. Hope to be able to be there again next year. Janis is a superb host.

Janis is a very conscientious host! What I loved the most - she changes out the shower curtains!!! Hotels don’t even do that. I was a bit nervous staying at a rental during this time, but Janis’ attention to detail was especially appreciated during the pandemic:
⁃ Complete sets of towels and comforters that the previous guests didn’t have. So she washes them of course, but it’s great to know they also sat for days since being used.
⁃ She requested we bring our own pillows due to covid....but I have to be honest, thinking about it now I’m shocked I haven’t been bringing my own pillows all along. Thinking about sleeping on pillows a stranger just mouth-breathed all over totally freaks me out. LOL
⁃ She left us the nicest, most thoughtful gift I have ever received at a rental! Was a wonderful surprise.
The house:
⁃ The only thing that surprised me was the photos are so well done you don’t realize there is a house between you and the cove. Once I got over the vision I had in my head, all was fantastic.
⁃ The AC is SO powerful you have to figure out what works for your family so you’re not freezing at night. We found 74 to be perfect for us. Or if the weather is nice and it’s not humid, the rooms get some amazing cross breezes. (Perfect for afternoon naps!)
⁃ The set up works GREAT for a family. 2 bdrm downstairs and 3/4 bath and 2 bdrm upstairs and full bath we took for those with kiddos. (Rooms upstairs are big enough for a pack-n-play.) I’ll also add double sinks upstairs is awesome for nighttime routines. 1 bdrm on each floor has TV.
⁃ The porch and yard are a DREAM. we’ve spent every morning and night rocking on the porch and then if not at the beach we hang out in the yard. Reviews didn’t mention the fantastic tree that gives shade in the yard you can follow all day. Our family of sun worshippers & shade lovers were both happy.
⁃ Fast & efficient washer & dryer has come in handy. It is in the bathroom next to the kitchen so super easy to get in a quick load.
⁃ Grill is also getting a workout and Janis always has extra propane at the ready.
The beach:
⁃ The beach itself is perfect sized if you have little kids. Water is very shallow and plenty of sand to play in. I would recommend water shoes as the bottom is a bit mucky.
⁃ We’ve seen some older kids catching crabs and other tiny fish in the water and loving it.
⁃ Janis provided beach chairs. Bring a wagon for sure! Convenient walk - 2 min if that

TL; DR: Great house for a big family with littles and yes we’d rent again!

We absolutely loved your home. You and your husband Walter’s attention to detail lovingly shines throughout. Our family couldn’t have found a better place to spend our vacation. But more importantly, a better hostess than you, Janis. We tried to do it justice by filling it with love, laughter, family, and friends.

Perfect Property and Wonderful Location!
This place was the first spot for a waterfront vacation. My wife and I brought our kids and have our parents stay at the house for a combined vacation. The beach was perfect for swimming and we took advantage of all that Onset and Buzzards Bay has to offer. The owner was a true pleasure to work with and we could not have been happier with how she managed all the details of our visit. I highly recommend staying here! We had a blast and thanks again for hosting!

What an amazing place to stay! From the moment we arrived, Janis greeted us with kindness as was so excited to show us her "cottage." This place has everything you could think of! She takes great pride in her property, the whole house was spotless and up to date. We had 6 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. My 2 little girls loved the sandy beach a short walk down the road. Most of the week they had the beach all to themselves! Onset Village (also a short walk or very short drive) had plenty of restaurants to choose from and also a small grocery store. The house is in a very quiet and friendly neighborhood, which definitely helped contribute to a relaxing vacation. The yard was large enough for the kids to run around and play and we could see the water from the yard and inside the house. My family can't thank you enough Janis for allowing us to all have a relaxing family getaway together.

Great location, beautiful home!
Beautiful newer home that is very welcoming. The yard was spacious for playing outdoor games and having meals. The proximity of this wonderful home is ideally located within steps to the water to drop in the kayaks, walking or biking distance to dining, events, the pier. Only a few minutes to the canal where you can rent a bike and go down the path along the canal or enjoy the visitors center with lots of activities for everyone. Onset Village was just a great place to relax. Quiet neighborhood. Away from the busyness of the cape yet close enough to get anywhere. We truly enjoyed our stay in Janis's home. She was a fabulous host with lots of insight as to what is going on in the area and places to go. Janis made us feel like we were old friends and not just someone renting out her home. What a great start and finish to vacation. Thank you Janis for your hospitality and making this such a wonderful retreat for our family to enjoy! Would highly recommend staying here.

This home was perfect for my extended family to relax and enjoy the beach for a week. Janis was a thoughtful host, and her care for the home and her guests really shows. She uses the term "cottage" to be humorous-- the house is spacious, and essentially brand new, with all the amenities you could need. Thanks to the open living area, the porch and front yard, we felt very comfortable even with 7 adults and 2 children. Some of our favorite things about the cottage were: the outdoor shower after coming back from Sandy Beach; happy hour on the the front porch and watching the sunset after the kids were in bed; the perfect location in walking distance to the shops and restaurants at the center of Onset; playing soccer and popping bubbles on the front lawn, and kayaking around the bay. While in Onset, we also enjoyed a sunset Canal Cruise, the Falmouth Road Race, a fishing trip thanks to a boat rental at Stonebridge Marina, and a visit to the Woods Hole Aquarium. Our perfect weather was good luck, and so was finding this place! Before the week was over, we had already begun planning our trip next summer. Thank you, Janis!

Lovely place, brilliant host
What we experienced was a fantastic week. A really nice house, wonderful garden, great air conditioning, all electronic devices needed, even guest presents (incredible, we never had that!) - above all a really friendly and supportive host. There is really nothing we missed and we can just recommend enjoying a fab time at Janis' house. Go ahead and book it. You won't regret it.

We had an amazing vacation at this home. I was first blown away at how meticulous, clean, organized and well decorated this home was because that certainly is not the case for all cape rentals. We were able to move right in and make ourselves comfortable. The home provided everything that we needed. It was a short walk (less than 2 minutes) to two small private beaches that my young sons loved to play at. It was about a 10 minute or less walk to the public beach in the center of town that you could also drive to if necessary with all your beach gear. Parking was ample all week long. The location is very serene. We enjoyed sitting on the porch or yard overlooking the water. We had a family reunion/party one day and there was plenty of space for all. We walked to restaurants, went on a canal cruise, enjoyed kayaking and soaked up the sun at the beach. Janis was a gracious host. She left us a wonderful welcome bag that was so thoughtful and filled with local treats that we enjoyed. She was available to answer any questions we had. We had no issues while staying there. We hope to go back again next year.

Our family enjoyed every minute of our week in this lovely shoreline home! From the location, to the beach, to the beautiful and spotless home - we were thoroughly pleased. We love the beach themed decore, the fully equipped kichen and BBQ, and the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable- we had a great time, and we'll be back!
