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!

Very nice property. We loved the location.

Enjoyed Dennis

We had an amazing weekend in Cape Cod. We spent the weekend fishing from the pier and enjoying the beautiful weather! We liked it so much, we plan to be back next year!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Tom Thumb Cottage. It is a private and comfortable space, with great views of the cove. The kitchen had what we needed to cook. The smaller bedroom is good for one adult or two kids. We appreciated the short drive to West Dennis beach (5-10 minutes) and the close proximity to restaurants and pubs. It is a great location to easily explore the western and eastern most parts of Cape Cod.

o We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well equipped cottage that's located on the Cove...perfect for gorgeous sunsets (if weather cooperates!) Chilly nights are comfy with a fireplace in the living room and bedroom. Audrey addressed any needs that arose immediately, which we appreciated. Even our dog enjoyed out stay!

the tom thumb cottage is a very nice old house, with a lot of charm. beautiful views very nice neighbors, my husband and i and our golden retriever enjoyed this place many times. the only thing i would recommend is that they get a new couch, and update the bathroom. bed was very comfortable, outside had nice table and chairs to see the grand cove. yards and dock were great, swimming also great! very close to everything. looking forward to coming back!

You can't beat the views out back for this spot. Lovely sunsets and such a peaceful environment. Our children spent so much time having fun off the dock and beach and our dog spent countless hours chasing little hermit crabs. The home is very cute and the air conditioners blessedly could keep up w the heat! The outdoor shower water pressure was fantastic too!

Great location. House was clean. Grandkids had a blast in the water.

Classic Cape Cod cottage on Grand Cove with access to a dock and next to town landing. Beautiful sunsets. My dog loved walking along the shorline during low tide.

Enjoyed our stay! The quaint home was adorable. The sunsets each night were beautiful. It had everything you’d need for making meals and relaxing. Really enjoyed the outdoor shower, used that more than the indoor. Having the boat slip (extra cost) was a great benefit. The furniture is a bit dated, but adds to the cabin charm. The host was very responsive and helped us solve an internet issue rather quickly. I wish that it had a washer and dryer, that would be perfect. Would stay again.

This property fully lived up to its hype on VRBO, which is rare, in our experience. The sunsets from the backyard patio, which we witnessed nearly every night, were remarkable and the dock proved a great launching pad for my first swim of the season in the Bass River. Our Standard Poodle, Puddle, enjoyed herself tied up in the shade beneath the dining table and lusting after the many rabbits that appeared in the grass in the early morning and at dusk. Rich, the maintenance guy, was terrific--responsive to our needs and making us laugh with his off-beat humor. We'll definitely be back! Becky & Stan

Beautiful spot with easy accessibility to many stores and restaurants. Beaches and rail trail near by

Wonderful property. Excellent stay

Very nice. It is in close proximity to the neighbors though so privacy and peace and quiet could be an issue. Overall I’d go back.

Host was easy to communicate with. Place was cute but slightly rustic. Can’t beat the views out the back door. Amazing to sit out there for meals.

Cute home overlooking the cove. Beautiful sunsets from the patio. Our checkin was horrible..... miscommunication occurred between owner and maintenance and the house was locked up tight. Check in was supposed to be after 3 and we arrived at 6:30 hoping to settle into our place after a long drive. The maintenance guy was very nice and quickly fixed the sink and about an hour later we were in the house. Tom Thumb is a dated cottage which needs a lot of TLC but the neighbors are very friendly and you have access to the water to Kayak ( Bass River Marina Kayak rentals deliver them right to the place and are great) The house suited its purpose for us as we wanted a place which was dog friendly, close to the water and near the CCRT(2 miles away)

Cottage was very nice. Comfortable, great spot on the cove and Bass River, beautiful sunsets. Close to everything we were looking for.

Loved the house and view of the Lake. We truly enjoyed our 2 weeks at Tom Thumb.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we wanted. We would stay there again.

We had a wonderful family week at the Tom thumb cottage. The place was clean and quiet. The location was excellent and the sunsets were spectacular.

Nice House. Good for a couple with 1 child. Mattress on all beds very old and not comfortable. Bring your own pillows. Kitchen is great and updated. We stayed in Oct, so weather was cool and we needed heat. Fireplace didn't work on main level. Owner had a small space heater which was not adequate. I called about the fireplace and was told it needed repair. Owner never asked if we were o.k with space heater or if they could bring another one to us. Bathroom door latch needs replacing. If you shut the door you can't get in from the outside. Not good if someone needed to help you out of the bath. Location is Great. I can see where in the summer this house and the surrounding houses can be very busy with lots of people sharing small amount of parking and small beach area near dock.

Nice view, house was clean but could use a paint job. Beds were the most uncomfortable beds we ever slept on. Ended up sleeping on the couch.

We had a great time at the Tom Thumb. The cottage was larger than we expected, based on some of the other reviews. The location is great, there is so much to do in the area, however with the patio, the grill and the dock you don’t really have to go anywhere to have a fun day. We plan to visit again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tom Thumb! The sunsets are indescribable and it was so convenient to have the dock literally only steps away. The only inconvenience was the oven took a long time to heat up - still worth the 5 star review to us! After all, we were on vacation so no time restraints! We would stay there again!

Great location.

The house was adorable and the location was excellent. My kids were entertained hanging around in the water catching hermit crabs and other little sea creatures. The view was amazing, and sunsets were spectacular as promised. It was peaceful to just sit outside and watch the water. We were also minutes away from many great restaurants and stores to poke around in. And it was less than a 20 minute ride to the bay side beaches. The outside shower was a hit with my kids. We had a great time!
