My family, which included grandparents, parents, grandkids and auntie, had an awesome time at Joan's beach house in Onset, right across from Onset Cove, where we could just walk out the door and literally be in the water in seconds, searching for crabs, kayaking, swimming or just lounging in a beach chair; sunsets were beautiful, short walk to Onset Village, perfect size home for all of us so we could spread out, supplied everything we needed to cook great meals, beds were comfy and a nice big deck to sit and relax and take in the views. Couldn't have picked a better place to stay and we will be back! Highly recommend this Victorian Onset Cape House to anyone that wants to visit this part of Cape Cod and so easy to get to. show more show less

We had an absolutely AMAZING time!! The house could not have worked out better. I initially wanted to be over on the peninsula behind downtown and Shell Point. Staying there and walking through town, would've been too crowded. It was nice being outside of the main drag, but a short walk when we wanted to visit. We spent almost the entire time on the water out front. Plenty enough beach, not crowded and the kids could crab hunt at low tide... We had plenty of room in the house. We rented the whole house so my wife and three-month old had privacy on the three-bedroom side, while everyone else could come-and-go on the five-bedroom side. The décor gave us the classic beach vibe you look for when headed that way. The spacious porch accommodated people comfortably. Plenty came to visit for the day. The kids all had a blast right in front of the house.

The neighbors were very friendly. The property managers were responsive, had everything handled if I had any questions.

I grew up on the South Shore, had friends and family stopping by from nearby areas. Everyone loved the house and location. All guests and visitors had such a great time, especially us. Thank you for such a great experience!! show more show less

My family (immediate, siblings, aunts, cousins) rented this cottage -both sides-for a week in August. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay. Had everything. From dishes, towels (both personal and beach), beach "toys", paper products, toiletries, etc. Each room had a tv. Beds were comfortable. Window air conditioners in bedrooms. We had a relative that couldn't handle steps. There was a full bedroom on the main floor of both sides which was perfect. Washer/dryer -with detergent and dryer sheets-for your use.

Aside from the necessary items, the cottage was comfortable and inviting. The many days and nights we spent on the porch in the big rocking chairs created memories for a lifetime. Our group ranged from eight years old to 75 with every age in between. There was something for everyone. Beach right across from cottage. Onset only a ten minute walk. Grocery and package store ten minutes away. We did a trip to Nantucket and also a day of deep sea fishing. All within an hour's drive or less. The large kitchen had ample space for sit down dinners. Grills and large picnic table made outside eating comfortable. Neighbors were nice. Lots of parking. We had seven cars and family visiting at various times all week and parking wasn't a problem.

Bottom line . . . It truly was the best cottage any one of us had ever rented and we have been visiting Onset since the 1960's. We will be back and not soon enough for me! show more show less

Dear Marcy Family Trust,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. I loved reading the history of the home and walking around looking at all of the charming & unique decorations and items that create such a welcoming atmosphere. There was nothing that you didn't think of, every closet and cabinet contained items that we found useful. Between the house, the yard, and the shed, we had everything that we needed and then some. But the Crowning Jewel of the House is the Front Porch: We spent many hours there, enjoying the views of the beach, the neighborhood, passing boaters, as well as passing walkers (many of whom commented on our perfect location) and the spectacular sunsets. We took a vote, and it was unanimous, that we would like to return next year for the same first two weeks of July. Please keep us in mind when you open your 2017 schedule. Thank you from Debbie Wosny & Family show more show less
