Our promise

Satisfaction Guarantee

We've reviewed thousands of homes and approve only the best. Each one is professionally managed and vetted for comfort and style, raising the bar for every stay.

KEY Curation Notes

Beach pass, chairs, and towels arrive with your stay. Walking distance to Dowses Beach—or a 3-minute drive—means you're ready for sand without a second thought.
The kitchen stocks platters, wine glasses, quality dishware, and pantry staples so you can cook every meal. Whether you're plating appetizers or feeding a crowd, the tools are there.
Four distinct living areas let guests spread across the home without overlap. An open kitchen-family room, separate living room, sunroom, and lower-level entertainment space with TV and pool table give you flexibility for eight people.
The backyard is built for entertaining—large patio, gas grill, generous seating, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off. Sunset drinks here are the highlight most guests mention.
Master suite sits on the first floor with its own full bath, leaving three additional bedrooms upstairs with one shared bath. Ground-floor placement means the primary suite never gets stairs in the way.

Reviews

Robert M.

This home was beautiful and so well appointed. Everything was very well done. Best stocked kitchen I have seen in a rental. Lots of platters, wine glasses, great dishes etc. Furnishings and accessories looked like a photo shoot from Coastal Living. Backyard beautiful and peaceful. Ten min walk into Osterville village for coffee, shopping dining. Can walk to Dowses beach or 3 min ride. Great outdoor grill area. Great for family. Lover level with TV and pool table great for teenagers or young adults. great family room area in Kitchen, plus a separate LR and DR, and sunroom. Lots of places to gather or to get your quiet time. Street is quiet and great if you have kids. Have rented places all over country and several times in Osterville area and this is one of the best I have been too. We had seven adults and it was great for all. Bathrooms and kitchens like brand new and well done. Agent was very helpful answering questions and accommodating late arrival.
