Our stay here was the perfect little getaway for our Fourth of July weekend! My boyfriend and I got full use out of the fire pit and the provided board games. The location was an easy drive to most of the Cape and our hosts were very responsive :)

Great hosts and location

This apartment what exactly what I needed for a two-week work trip and fit my needs perfectly. It is tucked behind a residential neighborhood area and felt very quiet and safe. Rob and Sandra were great hosts in their communication and willingness to let me stay another night. Would highly recommend them!

Cozy, well located apartment

Easy access to Mashpee and Falmouth. Well appointed, clean, cozy bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. Plenty of room for 2. Fire pit looked like fun for cooler weather but was a warm August so didn’t use. AC was outstanding. Highly recommend staying there!

Noisy

The apartment was very nice and well equipped. Unfortunately during our stay the downstairs tenants were loud and on Saturday had a party that was really loud, so much that you could here out to the street.

Great escape to The Cape!

Sandra and Rob were great hosts! The apartment was cool and ready to go when we arrived! They were so helpful with ideas when we thought the hurricane was hitting! We made it to Riddle Escape Room, ride the Falmouth Bike trail, Raw Bar, beaches and relax at the pad! Great yard! We played soccer and my son got to run around. We even walked out back to a pond, skipped some rocks! Great adventures! We would love to return here again !

Review Cape

The unit was clean and the owners were very helpful. The things we didn't like were that there was no light switch when we first entered the unit - it was about 5 steps in and past the kitchen. Luckily we came in when it was light outside. Also, there was no curtain on the bathroom window.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
For the price, the condition of the interior leaves much to be desired. For example, one kitchen chair was duck taped together, furniture was old and mismatched, and basic supplies were lacking (not one hanger). Also, it is the second story of a 2 story house, and the interior staircase leading to the first floor is not blocked off, which could be a potential safety issue (There is a locked door at the bottom). Also, getting up the exterior stairs to enter the unit might be a challenge for some people, especially carrying luggage. The second night we were there, the people downstairs had taken the parking, and we were woken up at 1:30 in the morning by their loud, prolonged social activity. We were instructed to be considerate of downstairs occupants, but they were definitely not considerate of us. If you don't mind these types of things, it would be okay. A plus is that there was ac.

Comfortable Apartment on the Cape

My wife and I stayed in this property for 3 weeks while visiting our family in nearby Mashpee. It was well apportioned and was comfortable. The property is in a convenient location for the Barnstable area. The hosts were very accommodating. We would definitely stay at this property again.
