Waterfront Home Overlooking Taylor's pond (2417)

This home is in a lovely spot with a beautiful view of Taylor's Pond and a short walk to Cockle Cove beach. Gorgeous sunsets over the pond! Our family has been coming to this area every year for a very long time, and this house checks many boxes for our group. We rented this particular home several times in the past from another realtor and this was our first time with Robert Paul. Overall, we are happy with the quick and pleasant response to a few issues we had with the BBQ and a lightbulb out in the fridge. A service person was there within hours. Communication was excellent. One word of caution about how the beds are described in the listing. In the second bedroom, it is NOT a queen - it is a VERY hard double bed (tight squeeze), and we didn't get the best sleep. One other note...we could not believe they still have the same awful "blinds" in the lower bedroom. There are four slats still hanging there and it is a ground level slider with NO privacy. This was an issue that was there when we rented prior and I am honestly shocked that such a simple and easy upgrade was not done when they touched up this house. If they made these two small changes this house would get 5 stars from us. I do hope to be back but will check on those suggestions before next summer.

Had a lovely stay in Chatham, MA with a beautiful lakefront view. The house has a more rustic feel and design. The location and place itself were beautiful but I would say maintenance and services seem to be a bit neglected. The primary bedroom’s bathroom seemed very outdated (needed to flush multiple times to properly flush). The surfaces were very dusty and the bottoms of our feet collected grime very quickly even though it was supposed to have been cleaned right before our arrival. The bottom floor bedroom had a wet odor and there was a glass sliding door to the backyard/lake that was only partially covered due to broken or missing blinds. As women one of the most important aspects to any rental property is feeling safe in the space. I will say oversight to things like this did not provide that feeling of safety and privacy. Finally, please be aware that you will be responsible for renting your own linens independently of the rental property and will have to make the beds yourself!!!! I’ve never heard of such a situation until coming to Cape Cod. Even many locals were very surprised by this. I recommend including the linens and making/stripping the beds even if there is a fee to include. There’s already a cleaning fee. At this point who would want to look into these logistics and make your own beds when it’s supposed to a vacation for out of towners?
