Cape Cod Canal Home

SusanRating, 5 stars8 months ago
You could not select a better location than this, with access to the Cape, beaches, and the Canal road for biking and walking. The apartment is modern and immaculate with a nice deck on which to relax. To top it off you could not find more pleasant hosts than Diane and Barry. We will surely visit again!

RezaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic trip! The host was responsive and made the whole process smooth and easy. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend it! Thank you, Tara.

☀️ Spacious and Bright -- The Sailboat Suite

MicheleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was my 6th year staying with Carolyn, in 3 different units. Carolyn is professional, and accommodating. I love the decorations, but the apartment is not cluttered, but the details are thoughtfully provided. Onset is my hometown so I am not impartial about the location. She responds promptly to questions and needs and checks in but does not hover. Carolyn is an excellent host and I am always happy to support her business.

Beautiful Creekside Apartment in Wellfleet Center

MegRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was going to be our second time staying at Anne’s beautiful Air BnB. Unfortunately issues at the building the day we were due to check in required Anne to cancel our stay. This is still an all five-star rating because Anne was fast to communicate the problem. She even contacted another host to put an alternative place on hold for us while we decided what to do. At each step of the way Anne was wonderfully responsive. While it was not an ideal situation, knowing Anne was available to take our calls and answer our questions while we worked to pivot took away the stress of losing your planned getaway spot. We decided not to stay at the alternative spot, but I commend Anne for having a place on hold. It allowed us to take the time to look and consider all options, which removed any and all frustration that could have easily colored the day and our weekend. We plan to return sometime in the future.

Harbor view apartment, a quick walk from the ferry

NancyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
I had a restful stay at Mark's place. It's in walking distance to the ferry along with other amenities like bike rental, supermarket, local restaurants, the Net Result, as well as the ferry terminal. It's a great option for anyone who wants to visit MV without a car as local buses are also nearby. Mark tends to his home with care. It's a distinctive place with tons of character, just like MV, which is why I've been returning to the island for 30+ years. I'll be back!

Spacious Onset Beach Studio Amazing Views!

RebekahRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This is our second stay in this room, we will make this our annual anniversary getaway. The location is perfect; across the street from the beach, and a 5-10 minute walk to many restaurants. The walk is beautiful too. The street is quiet and although the building is right on the street it felt private. The room has just what you need and doesn’t feel too small, there was plenty of room and didn’t feel cramped at all. Furnishings were beautiful and simple. We are thoroughly impressed with this host and will be back again next year ❤️.

Waterfront Home in Onset for Happy Memories

The place was great. The backyard was the perfect spot to cook burgers and hang out. The space can just be a little cold outside the summer months so prepare to dress warmer.

Prescott’s house is such a relaxing place to stay with a big group. The house has a very pretty view and is very clean and peaceful. We are very grateful for such a nice stay at this beautiful house. The BBQ outside didn’t work great but other than that we had a wonderful time! Thank you Prescott.

Our families slice of heaven

MarkRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Marla's vacation home was very lovely. We liked the pictures of her place, but once we arrived we realized that she had remodeled a number of rooms. Each room was updated, very clean and cozy. Marla has made sure that her place is stocked with all of the large and small conveniences that guests would want in a home away from home. The location and the surroundings are stunning, especially with the Fall foliage. One can tell that Marla takes great pride in her beautiful rental. -Mark & Susan G

Water Front Pond House - 3 acre Cape Cod Sanctuary

HanRating, 5 stars5 days ago
This pond side house is perfect for a family vacation. If one enjoys water and serenity, this is the place to be. The house is located in a very private lot and well-appointed inside. It's well equipped with kayak, canoe and paddle boards for everyone. And fishing is great for kids and adults in the nice pond with super clear water. Luther, the host, is also very friendly and considerate. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a getaway on cape.

Steps to Private Beach in Chatham

HannahRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Julia’s home! It was in amazing location close to the beautiful downtown but also very private. The private beach is hard to beat! The space was clean, exactly as pictured, and was stocked with anything you could need. Julia was an amazing host who provided clear instructions and responded quickly. We can’t wait to return for our next stay here. Thanks again Julia!!

Hidden Hideaway

JennyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
The location is fabulous and very close to many amenities - coffee, groceries, restaurants and the beach. While it was a small space, it was well laid out, comfortable to be in, very clean and had a respectable kitchen for its small size (which I used). Devon was very proactive and friendly when I asked him about the microwave not working - I had missed that it wasn't plugged in! The condo was very quiet at night even though it is close to a road. I will definitely return to Devon's place should I need to travel there and it is available.
