Communication was superb; the neighborhood was perfect and the overall process was exactly what one would hope to encounter in eschewing a sterile motel.

July Visit

Our family had a mid week stay here in July and enjoyed exploring the beaches and bike trails nearby. We had children from 4 to 9 years old, and an active grandpa too and this house had plenty of room for everyone. It was super clean on arrival, had all the kitchen items we needed and then some, and was a close drive to outdoor activities. It was pretty hot and humid when we stayed so running the air conditioning was a necessity. There’s plenty to do nearby to keep everyone happy.

Wedding Weekend

Very comfortable, clean, and perfect location. We needed a place for the family to stay for a wedding at Ocean Edge. This was 2 miles from the resort and had plenty of bedrooms and comfortable beds. We had a 2 yr old and there was a crib available. Close to food, beaches, and a great neighborhood.

Review

The house was advertised appropriately and suited us for what we needed for a quick visit to the Cape for a family reunion - we wished the bedding was more updated/newer and there was a very musty smell in the house. Overall, it was priced fairly and when informing the host that we couldn’t be there on Friday night and only planned on staying one of our two nights we booked, they offered us to switch nights and that was greatly appreciated.

Our stay at hickory lane

We enjoyed our stay. Connie was very accommodating and pleasant. The house is good for 2 families with the basement finished with 2 bedrooms and a bath. We loved the morning light that comes in esp. When you have the front door open. Not sure if the blankets in the closet get washed inbetween renters. The queen bedroom upstairs the bed was very comfortable. The washer and dryer look new and work well. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and glasses. The neighborhood is quiet and close to bay beaches to watch beautiful sunsets. Thankyou for letting us share your home.

Perfect summer house

We had a great trip. House was super clean and organized. Beaches are close. We had the option to go bay side and to the ocean while having shops and restaurants close. I highly recommend this house.

Long overdue family vacation

We had a lovely week in Brewster- my parents’ condo is just around the corner so we were able to spend lots of quality time as a whole family. The house was spacious and comfortably accommodated my family and my sister’s family. The location was great- we love Cliff Pond and it was neat being able to walk there if we wanted, as well as Owl Pond just down the road. The outdoor shower was really great after the beach, and the air conditioning was a must, especially given the extreme temperatures last week. One recommendation would be to place one of the fans in the doorway to the kitchen if you are cooking- it gets rather hot in there and that helps keep the cool air circulating. Overall, I would recommend this property to families who want a quiet, kid- friendly place with easy proximity to freshwater swimming and the bay beaches.

Great home for 2 families

The home was clean, and has all the amenities we needed. The only downsides were having to walk through the downstairs bedrooms to get to the laundry room and the kitchen being a passthrough from the basement bedrooms to the main part of the house. The home is set up well for rentals, as there are plenty of cabinets/closets/drawers empty an available to make yourself at home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prep meals. The beds were comfortable, and the deck and yard were the perfect spot to enjoy dinner.

Great location with lots of amenities.

This was a great location: near Nickerson State park and Rail Trail, near restaurants, 45 minutes to P-town, close to Chatham Fish Pier to watch fishermen bring in fish, near Shaws for needed supplies, AWAY from noise. The only problem we had was that the upstairs had a 'pet' smell that we didn't like so we slept downstairs. Also, it would be nice to have different sized chairs for different sized people. (But that's getting picky.)

Perfect house and location

My family and I stayed at Connie’s home and it exceeded our expectations. Connie was very nice, responsive and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable . The pictures don’t give the house justice! It’s very clean, spacious, bright and has everything that you can ask for. It’s close to Nickerson State Park, a private pond - walking distance from the house, Brewster beaches - a two minutes bike ride, and stores. We will definitely like to come back to Brewster and stay at Connie’s again.

Cape house

It’s our first time in Cape Cod and we really enjoyed our stay at this property. Very spacious for a family of 6 plus my Mom in law, kitchen has everything you’ll need. Nickerson State Park is a very short drive where you can swim in the ponds, hike or ride your bike. Convenient drive to Harwich Port and Provincetown.

Great stay!

Lovely home where we felt relaxed - and a great location to family-friendly beaches. The highlight for us was being so close to Nickerson State Park where we biked and swam. Connie was a great owner/host, who dealt with a very minor problem that we brought to her attention, with great speed and care. Wonderful stay

About the host

Hosted by Connie Batchelor

Host profile image
My wife and I have shared our summer home for rental for 20 years now. Many fond memories exist of family and friends gathering at 'The Cape'. Both our children grew up looking forward to our 'Cape' trips and thankfully still do. We'd love to have you create your own memories in our home as well!

Why they chose this property

Our home is located on an extremely private street and abuts Nickerson State Park. Easy drives to the beaches, towns, antiquing, golf, tennis, etc. The layout of our home offers a special level of privacy as each floor has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom. Over the past few years we've renovated our kitchen, replaced our outdoor shower, and rebuilt our back deck (my personal favorite space of the house...nothing like my morning cup of coffee on the back deck!).

What makes this property unique

Our home is part of the Robinwood property association. This allows us and our guests to enjoy the private kettle pond (Owl Pond) right down the street from us. A great way to wash off the salt water after a relaxing day at the beach! We also have direct access to Nickerson State Park as it abuts our backyard. A great place for a hike or nature watching.
