Cape Cod Getaway

This cottage was the perfect size and location. For our getaway to Cape Cod. It's such a cute house and in the perfect location to enjoy the beach and to see the sites along the cape. We were able to make a few trips to the Boston area and Lexington and Concord for the historical sites.

Lovely cottage

I just loved your cottage. Nice strong shower, very comfortable beds and a tv where my friend and I could watch our favorites. A very nice location on the cape. We went to Gloucester and went twice to our favorite beach Nauset. Heritage museum and Sandwich glass museum very close and wonderful to visit. Will definitely come again.

Wonderful Cottage

Margaret’s place was a wonderful base for our stay in Cape Cod. We did several day trips and it was so nice to come back to all the amenities of home. It was a short walk to the beach and the kayak launch area. Margaret was an incredible host - we were greeted with some amazing welcome gifts for both adults and kids, and she was quick to respond to any questions we had about the cottage during our stay. We had a great week and would highly recommend staying her if you are visiting the Cape.

Can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I enjoyed our visit. This cottage was extremely clean, in a great area, and was just what we were looking for. Sandwich was such a peaceful town. We loved that the town was close to some places that we wanted to visit. The Loughlins were amazing hosts. From messaging prior to our visit to a welcome bag, we were throughly impressed with the hosts and the cottage itself. We will be back!

Great Cape Cod Cottage

This was the perfect cottage for our trip. It had everything we needed for the kitchen and the beach so we didn’t need to pack extra items. The host provided tips and resources to inform us about what to do in the area. It was a central location. We went to Boston, Plymouth, whale watching, a tour of Cape Cod, and visited multiple beaches. When we weren’t out and about, we were enjoying the outside and fire pit.

Great cottage

We had a great stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed and more. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful with every question we asked(which were a lot). The place was well kept, clean and on a nice quiet street. We loved the outdoor shower and didn’t expect it would have cold and hot water. Everything you need for the beach is inside the shed. We highly recommend!!!

We had such a great time at this wonderful and cute cottage! It was walking distance from the beach on the bayside (10 minute walk). Our 3 year old loved to ride his bike to breakfast each morning and then head to the beach in the afternoon. Margaret is extremely responsive and helpful. She went above and beyond to make this place a home for us for a week. We enjoyed the sunsets and going on walks in the early evening looking for bunnies. Also, the backyard is so peaceful!

Great Family Vacation

We had such a great time at the cottage. All amenities suited our needs perfectly. Margaret went above and beyond to make our stay very special. Any questions that we had, she was quick to respond. She also included a welcome bag just right for a 12 year old! The cottage was just a short walk to the beach which was heavenly. The beach cart was perfect to bring everything needed for a fun day at the beach! Will be back again next summer.

Absolutely perfect

This was the perfect location in an absolutely gorgeous little cottage. Everything was pristine and all of the items we needed to enjoy a wonderful week on the Cape were provided for. Margaret was a fantastic host and answered all of our inquiries quickly and promptly. She provided for everything we need from comfortable linens to all of the accessories for a great beach holiday. The beach itself is a quick five minute walk away it’s a gorgeous stretch of sand and there are a number of other beaches within a quick drive as well. Love the location. The cottage was very comfortable with a lot of natural light and we enjoyed having dinner’s outside every night as well as playing games and watching movies in the spacious backyard. The neighborhood is very quiet and there were no disturbances whatsoever. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

Setting the standard

This cottage is the standard to which all bnbs should strive. The cottage was clean and neat, the decor perfect for the ocean. The cottage is not on the water, however it is a short walk to a beach. There were plenty of towels and special beach towels. There was no shampoo or shower soap, but there was a basket of ‘forgotten things’ in which we found soap, shampoo, toothbrush, and lotions available. There is beach gear and even a lobster pot and grill. The kitchen had every possible thing you could need, except spices. The house is comfortable for the five persons sleeping arrangement. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The host was fantastic and helped us plan our itinerary by answering our many questions about the area. I just can’t say enough about this fabulous cottage. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return!
