Matt and Elyse's home is just magical. The kids loved their whimsical carriage house, which was renovated thoughtfully and stylishly. Situated on a freshwater pond, we had a blast canoeing out to long pond and spending the evening together on the quiet beach. We hope to be back next year!

Very rustic building beautifully restored and super clean with everything you need! Great communication with property owners excellent location, I would stay here again!

The house is well designed and even prettier in person; we had everything our family of five needed for the week. Beds were comfortable. Kayaks and canoe were fun to use for the five minute trip across the pond to the swimmable fresh water lake - which my kids (ages 9-15) did almost every day. The house is centrally located between charming Brewster and vibrant Chatham, a little closer to Brewster. The best swimmable open ocean beaches were about 25 minutes away, and we did find the trek worth it - especially for my two active teens. All three kids also spent a fun day taking surf lessons with Sacred Surf School, which the owners’ son owns. The owners, Matt and Elyse, live right next door and were communicative and helpful. Lovely home base for the week!

Matt and Elyse were high accommodating and responsive. The carriage house had a lot of charm and was perfect for what we needed. The dirt road to the house was a bit rough, but other than that, a very good stay.

Amazingly quite stop on the cape, so easy to just sit back and relax here.

This was our first time using Vrbo , what a great find.. While it is so close to everything - less than 10 min. to super market, local bakery, restaurants, local town beach, rail trail ..., the carriage house (authentic and well appointed ) itself is hidden away on this serene lake (pond) front property via a narrow private road. we are very happy to find this home away from home for a week and it is everything we have hoped for. We have a family of 5 with three young adult children , we enjoyed the lake as much as the beach, we swam , canoed and relaxed in the stillness and quiet that the property has offered. We were surprised on our last night with a huge rising golden moon over the shimmering lake , truly memorable. My oldest daughter later told me that she actually went out late at night just to be immersed in this magical light.. The host Matt and Elyse are very gracious and so easy to communicate , checking in and out are so easy. It was a truly special stay!

Our family of four throughly enjoyed our stay. The pretty carriage house was clean, comfortable and perfect for our group. The pond was great fun for canoeing and paddle boarding. We didn't fish, but it looked like a great spot for it. The house is so convenient to the beautiful beaches and attractions of Brewster as well as the surrounding Cape towns. The hosts were very helpful, kind and pleasant to deal with! Highly recommend.

I will start off by saying this is an absolutely beautiful home. Well cared for, well restored, clean. This part of the description was in fact accurate… My husband and I are 50 somethings from CT. We rented this home in January for our family of 4 for two weeks. Our children are grown and we knew they would not be able to come for the full time, but wanted them to have a room for when they could. Our daughter ended up having emergency surgery just prior to the trip, so she ended up joining us for the full first week. We had already invited 2 family members up for a few days, before knowing our daughter would also be there. When I book a home that accommodates 6 with the intention of only having 4, I have never had it be an issue if there was an additional guest for a few nights (staying within the 6 limit). Potential renters should be aware of the following about this rental: 1). There is an additional, non-refundable insurance fee required when renting. Not the usual refundable security deposit. 2) Owner’s home is less than 100 feet from the door of this house. The view from the deck is the owners home. If they are entertaining, you get this as your view. 3) You do not get the full house. There is an unfinished area occupying approximately half of the main floor (the area with the big barn door). This contains some of owners items (which are accessed daily), as well as a sleeping area for owners guests. Owners daughter stayed in the unfinished part of the rental for 3 days of our stay. Walls are thin - sound carries. 4). Owner says he ‘has to know’ of anyone you choose to come to the rental property. We were caught off guard upon returning from the beach with family with an inquiry on who was there and how long they were staying. This made the rest of the stay very uncomfortable. 5) Property listing indicates it accommodates 6. There is a pull out couch that realistically would only accommodate 2 small children in sleeping bags or 1 adult. There is no way to put sheets on this sofa (it is an odd layout when folded out). 6) There are no more than 2 parking spots at this property. Hard limit. Owner was able to find accommodations for our kids additional cars, however, this is not guaranteed. Cape Cod is a wonderful place to be, and we have stayed there and in Brewster many times before. Had we known any of the above items prior to booking, we would not have chosen this home for our stay.
