Absolutely loved this property, so well maintained inside and out, loved the outdoor shower, location was close to everything. Communication with the owner, was the best. Would give this rental 6 stars. Planning on returning next summer.

This is the cutest, cleanest little house. We felt so lucky to be there and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer using this quiet location to relax at night. The house itself is small but expertly designed and incredibly comfortable. The location is a very quiet dead end street, with other adorable classic Cape-style houses, walkable to a beach (although we recommend driving to Nauset beach for a day), and even walkable to Main Street in Hyannis (tons of restaurants and shopping). I can’t say enough good things about this rental - and the owner Elaine is very sweet. :)

Elaine and John were wonderful hosts! They were both there when we arrived and showed us a tour of the cottage. The cottage has everything you need to a fully stocked kitchen, extra towels and linens and even beach chairs! Place was extremely clean. Beach was 3 mins from cottage and about 15 minute walk into town! Would recommend staying here if you come to cape cod!

This gem was amazing. The pictures on VRBO did not begin to do justice to this delightful cottage. The interior and exterior were immaculate. The beach was, as advertised, a three to four minute walk. The owners were unbelievably welcoming and available. Just plain good people.

My wife and I spent the better part of last week at Saltbox Cottage in Hyannis. Though I was there for medical work, the cottage was as relaxing as if I were on vacation. The location is superb, tucked away on a small side street just steps from the beach and ocean. The decor and furnishings are top notch. No detail to make one's stay excellent has been foregotten. Saltbox Cottage is an wonderful romantic Cape stay for a couple, but could easily be a fun filled stay for a family. We have rented other homes on the Cape; this is by far the best.

Very nice surrondings. No detail has been overlooked, everything you could ask for has been provided. I would give Norris Cottages a rating as to one of the best places I have ever stayed at.

The cottage and location were excellent. Everything was clean and orderly and ready for us when we arrived. Elaine and John are very nice people and treated us like family. This is a wonderful place to stay.

Very relaxing with all the amenities of home. Perfect place to relax and unwind.

What a wonderful place to get away. This place was perfectly located as it was only a 3 minute car ride from restraints, shopping centers and a 3 min walk from the beach. This hostess was ready and willing to accommodate any way she could. Best experience yet!

My husband and I had a nice time staying in this cute, well maintained bungalow. There were tons of windows throughout the house (skylights galore!) so the house got a lot of great natural light and a nice, refreshing crossbreeze - perfect for relaxing while doing our puzzle and reading. They also had the basics stocked for us - coffee, coffee filters, a Brita water pitcher, even some shampoo and conditioner. It is located very close to the beach and that made it easy to take a quick walk down to look for seashells or watch the sun set. It is also a reasonable walk into town for a drink or dinner (20 or so minutes each way). It is perfect for 2 people and might be a cramped if anyone else (kids) were to join. Fortunately for us, it was our anniversary getaway and we fit just fine. I recommend this property, and these renters, who were kind enough to touch base before we checked in and to leave us some chocolate! Thanks again!

We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable, modern cottage. The living area, loft bedroom, kitchen, and deck were perfectly appointed with everything we needed. It was bright and clean, and only a short walk to the local beach. Elaine's warm hospitality made us feel welcomed. Thank you for a great stay!

We spent a week at this location, everything was just as mentioned in the listing. Property is extremely well maintained and the owners go out of their way to ensure your visit is a comfortable one.

This was the first property we have ever rented for a vacation, and it set the bar so high. Everything was so wonderful from the location, to how clean the cottage was, to how responsive the owners were and to how comfortable the cottage was. We would definitely stay here again!!

My husband and our two boys (6 and 3) were in need of a relaxing getaway and this cottage was perfect! Elaine was a wonderful host. Unfortunately, the washing machine broke prior to our arrival and we had a last minute repairman come to try and replace it, but Elaine communicated that to us and was there to meet the repairman, so we didn't have to worry about it. The washing machine wasn't able to be fixed, but she allowed us to use the washing machine at another property that she has. Regardless, it was a small issue, but good example of how communicative she was and how much she tried to help make it a better experience. The house is situated on a dead end street (great for kids) and on a street with other very nicely cared for homes. It is less than a few minutes walk to Sea Street Beach and the water. I ran in the neighborhood every morning and it was beautiful. It's off the beaten path, but still minutes from downtown Hyannis and Main street. The house was extremely clean and very nicely decorated. The outdoor shower was one of my favorite parts of the house! So refreshing and the kids loved it. It is a loft bedroom, so it is open to the downstairs. There is a queen bed and bunk beds in the loft. The bed was comfortable and it was very nice and open. One thing that I would suggest would be black out curtains in the loft as my youngest woke up earlier than normal due to the beautiful sunshine coming in through the windows. However, if you don't mind the sun coming in early (it was a calming way to wake up), then this isn't an issue. Or you could just make sure to bring some sort of curtain to block out the sun in the early morning. It's a small house, but everything was laid out to maximize the space and we honestly didn't notice the size. The deck was great for eating outside or enjoying a morning cup of coffee. I look for VRBO houses often and I am always leery about booking...I promise you that you won't be disappointed. We will most certainly be back!

Overall good and friendly owners. House is perfect for a 2 people. Inside and yard very clean. After traveling a week before arriving, was very disappointed that washer was broken and we were not notified in advance. It also appeared owners entered the house one or more times when we were away.

This could not be a more perfect place to stay while you are in Hyannis. Both this and the neighboring property are jewels.

Perfect location, walk to the beach - quiet, private neighborhood, Property was well maintained with very friendly and accommodating owners!

We had a wonderful time at Elaine and John's cottage. Simple, clean, fresh interior, supplied with everything you might need. Elaine was easily accessible and really helpful to solve any issue. I would come again and highly recommend staying here. The location is pretty central to anything you want to do in Cape Cod and the Kennedy's are practically your neighbors lovely neighborhood to walk around, beach 3 minute walk. 5 Stars!

The property was found to be exactly as described, the owner more than helpful and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Worked well for us. Very walkable area. Dinner on Main Street, ferry to Nantucket and a few minutes to beach access. Thanks!

This is my first Home Away review and I’ve booked homes on here for years. If you’re looking for the cutest Cape Cod cottage 3 minutes from the beach, this is your place. Not only is the location perfect, but Elaine and John go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Elaine was so accommodating — it rained during our stay and she checked in to make sure we were okay the entire time. Cape Cod is stunning and I would come back just to stay in this cottage and hopefully meet Elaine and John! Thank you again for letting us book this beautiful cottage. Can’t wait to come back again!

The cottage was very clean and the property owner was very helpful. Quick walk to the beach and close to town.

Elaine and John's home is comfortable, clean, well appointed, and beautiful. The cottage is stocked with everything you need. It felt like home from the moment we walked in. My husband, 2 young children, and I eased right into our stay. It is a 5 minute (or less) walk to the beach making it easy to go back if you forget anything or if you have little ones that nap. The bunk beds were a big hit with our son. You cannot beat the location of this house, situated within a 5 minute drive to downtown, restaurants, and tons of stores. We loved everything about our stay here. Our only regret is that we did not stay longer! Elaine is lovely and was very quick to respond to all my emails. We will certainly be back to stay again!
