New England Vacation Rentals in Sandwich, Massachusetts

“Keep in mind house we rented had been sold. Owners had no interest in making issues right. First issue was upon arrival we felt the pictures of rooms and beach were very misleading. Living room was much smaller than expected and the beach was very rocky . Second was that outdoor furniture was very uncomfortable given it was a 3 plus million dollar property and indoor wasn’t much better. All guests felt the beds were very comfortable . We woke up to smell of coffee brewing however to find 3 out of 8 people had no coffee mugs. Sent pictures to NER showing 5 mugs total. Glassware and silverware was also lacking. I counted 5 normal knives ,6 spoons 8 forks. Had a planned dinner for guests totaling 12-14 people. 😡 One night one of my sons made dinner and found no pots to cook pasta and no strainer Kitchen very poorly stocked to say the least. Owner refused to provide a vacuum or even a broom. There was a dust pan ! Running out of characters Callen was helpful and got us mugs”

“Place is perfect location to beach with young kids given it’s extremely close proximity to the beach access. Beach is even better for kids under 8 because of the sandbar that is out all morning. The house is as described and photos. It hasn’t been updated for a long time, but you’re paying for location not home amenities. The house did have a slight smell to it but as the week went on and windows open, it dissipated a bit.”

“Cozy cottage steps away from beach!”

“Great house and location. Upper and lower decks with propane grill and fire pit were great to have ! Can walk to a few restaurants within a half mile to mile. Only downfall was the beach you could walk to was very rocky and unable to go in water. Ended up driving to beach about a mile away instead every day.”

“We booked this cottage specifically for its beach access and location to accommodate our handicapped mother, who has significant mobility limitations. Upon arrival, we discovered that the reserved cottage was already occupied. The host relocated us to a different unit, which would have been an understandable inconvenience if it had still allowed us access to the advertised beach area. Unfortunately, it did not. The new cottage was not suitable for our needs, particularly with my mother’s condition. To make matters worse, we were later informed that the door code we had been provided (and which successfully let us in) “shouldn’t have worked,” with the blame placed on us for using it. This added unnecessary stress and made us feel unwelcome. Additionally, for a $1,400 three-night stay, basic amenities were lacking — we were left with only one roll of toilet paper for the entire booking. Potential here but with the lack of communication. Cannot recommend host.”
