This is an attractive authentic group of Cape cottages in the woods at the edge of a marsh. Ithis cottage is tiny; I think more than one person or one couple would be a squeeze. It was about right for myself and my two cats. Like similar Cape properties, it is best enjoyed when temperatures are moderate.

Salt box is set up for 2-3 people max - lots of room for two. The area was quiet, beautiful and peaceful. The cottage was very clean and organized. Kitchen was stocked with enough utensils, pans, etc. to make great seafood dinners on the porch! Local fish markets are GREAT. The Boathouse Fish market was THE BEST! We were here in August, and it was plenty cool with many windows and ocean breeze - fans were good enough for cool air when needed. We didn't need to use the AC at all. Some ants and other bugs here and there but are natural when in a wooded area - definitely not a problem. Marsh smell mentioned in other review was a non-issue even at low tide. We did not buy a visitor beach pass due to high cost and had a great time on Mayo Beach, free and ample parking! The cottage is very well situated - easy access to lower and outer cape towns. Lots to do in Ptown nearby. We rec the Ptown carnival in August! One of our favorite things to do was the DRIVE IN movies, a mile or so down the road! That was a blast - go early and hang out with people there. Super fun! Lots of great restaurants - loved Van Rensselaer's restaurant for dinning exp and great food. We also LOVED Joe's Sub and Cone for lunch, take out - local feel and good seafood too. Thanks to Danielle for her responsiveness with any questions! Absolutely no complaints - loved it!

This property is very charming and the proximity to the Cove is amazing. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable week. Danielle provided great communications and proved to be a very responsive hostess. We had a very slight issue and she responded immediately with a focus on ensuring our vacation was not interrupted.

Quaint cottage in a quiet, pleasant area right off Route 6. Danielle was super quick and thorough in her responses when I asked a couple of questions pre-trip. If I were the owner, I'd spend a few hundred bucks and make a couple of changes to the listing for renters comfort and clear knowledge. First, I had no idea I had to provide my own sheets & towels. Turns out you had to click on a certain tab I missed for that info. I had to go out and buy sheets & towels that I don't need at home. I've been traveling the world for 5 decades and never have I had to supply my own sheets & towels. One small window air conditioner was useless on a 98 degree day unless you sat right in front of it. I would have a microwave & toaster oven in the breakfast nook. I'd spend the $4.95 and 10 minutes to install a toilet paper roll holder. The old wood floor is beautiful, but it needs to be reinforced or replaced. The "various soaps promised was 1/3 bottle of hand soap. I'd make it clear that the picture of the cove in the listing is not what you can see from the property. However, chairs at the back of the property were lovely. BBQ grill worked well. Bed was comfy and furnishes were all OK. I didn't water the flowers as requested because heavy rain was forecast on the day I was leaving, but I didn't mind being asked to water them. I stayed at a Cape VRBO last summer and the flowers were all withered and dead. Very unpleasant. Was glad to have been left instructions on how to get a beach sticker.

As soon as we walked into the cottage, it smelled of sewage and it was revolting. The cottage was sweltering and we had to install the AC unit ourselves and tape it in the best we could. The floorboard has cracks where you could see the ground, letting bugs in so we taped those up. The roof leaked when it rained making the place even smaller when we had to move the couch to avoid it getting wet. The futon cover was dirty and the stove pilot lights go out when the ceiling fan was on creating a safety hazard that we didn't notice for 2 days. There aren't many hooks that could have helped given its small size. The waterfront is tic infested so you really can't walk down there, we tried once and didn't go again. The online ad said there was coin laundry which is not on the premises but was a 20-minute drive to another town. There was a half role of TP, no paper towels or garbage bags were provided even though listed as amenities. We left halfway through our reservation and returned home. On the positive side, it allows dogs, it has a path across Rt 6 that was good for walks, and it's in Wellfleet. The cottage was otherwise clean, the porch was nice and the grill worked. We would not stay again.

Check in was easy. A bit of a trouble finding the turn off. Coming North on Rt 6, directly on the opposite side of the Shell Station is the paved road that is very short. Half way down is the white picked fence and a sign for Drummer Condo's. The cottage was clean and had room to move around. The deck was comfy as well. Kitchen was workable. Nice place to stay over all. And just a hop, skip and Jump to PB Boulangerie Bistro for morning nibblies!

Only complaint is that there was only one heating unit that we could find. But not really necessary. One day of heavy rain, and it was dripping through roof. We put a pot underneath to catch the water.
