New England Vacation Rentals reviews in Sandwich, Massachusetts

“With some work, this could be a good place. But, renter beware: at the bottom of the novel-length description of the house is the caveat that THEY DONT PROVIDE BED LINENS OR TOWELS. You have to rent your own and coordinate delivery. At a minimum, this adds a significant expense to an already expensive place. Or bring your own; not great if you’re flying across the country. Otherwise, this place is showing wear. The basement smells terribly. The queen bed on the main level was uncomfortable. The queen on the top level was fine. The rental service was weirdly aggressive about checkout time: out before 10 am, which seems early. My parents were the first there and struggled with the lock. They had to wait more than an hour and half for help to arrive. It seems like a remote unlock would solve this problem. If you need a big place for a lot of people, and can bring your own sheets, consider this place.”

“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”

“Cozy cottage steps away from beach!”

“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.”

“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.”
