Grandma's Cottage: Olde Cape Cod at its best. Steps to the beach. Dog-friendly!

Cozy and rustic--experience the best of Olde Cape Cod steps away from a private Nantucket Sound beach. Grandma's Cottage sits on the ocean side of famous Chase’s Ocean Grove cottage colony so you will probably find yourself at the beach a lot during your visit. To that end, the cottage is furnished with a gas grill, beach chairs, beach cart, and even a cooler. With a strong cabin vibe, it is the perfect affordable beach-side getaway. While the 4 double beds *can* sleep up to 8 people, they are bunk-style, and our happiest guests report that it is most comfortable for up to 4 people. Note: COG has a shared electric service which prohibits us from having AC :(. However, we do supply multiple fans. Walk to ice cream spots, kids' activities, and multiple breakfast spots. Also just down the beach is the high-end Pelham House with its fabulous menu & view, pool bar, and beachside firepits. Pets are welcome at Grandma's, but please follow the pet guidelines published in our welcome guide.

Great location!
Could use some updates and repairs but overall a nice cottage close to the ocean / beach, shopping and restaurants. Outdoor shower was great and nice hot water! Furniture in living space could be better. More comt seating and the table and chairs inside weren't needed and just took up space. Extra countertop would be good as it was hard to cook and the stove needs to be leveled. Some kind of high top bar with stools would have been great and a different arrangement with the living room furniture. The beds were comfy. andots of great

Cute, rustic cottage in friendly beachfront community
Loved our week at this classic Cape Cod dog friendly cottage. Tiny and compact, with everything we needed, and a quick walk to the beach with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Closest beach doesn't allow dogs but two public beaches that allow dogs after Labor Day are a 10 min walk away. Host was very helpful and accommodating, and neighbors and residents very friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return!

Grandma’s Cottage
We had such a good time at Grandma’s cottage. It is truly 2-3 minutes from the beach. The kitchen fit all of our food and we used the grill. It is definitely small so be prepared. My granddaughters loved sleeping in the loft and my daughter, my husband and I were fine with the bedrooms. The only downside was the lack of seating in the living room area. My husband brought his soccer chair so that was a big help. My only suggestion is an upgrade on the outside shower, it needs a shelf and easier access from the kitchen. New surround? Slate? The neighborhood was so much fun! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. We received great recommendations for restaurants. We loved our visit!

We had a great time at Grandma's cottage! The cottage is little but was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. It is steps from the beach, has great outdoor space, and is in a very cute community. Our hosts were very kind and responsive. We hope to visit again next year!

Little cottage that's big on charm!
We recently stayed there for a week on the shoulder season this fall. First few days were cold and rainy, but putting a kettle on kept the place comfortable and warm. Even provided extra blankets for cold nights. We had everything we needed right there and sat outside on sunny days and even got in a beach day when the weather got into the 70's later in the week. Central to the Cape and steps away from the ocean, made for a lasting memory for us and our puppy!

Grandmas cottage
I have used vrbo.com several times except this time I had problems with the pictures of the cottage they were deceiving, looked larger than it was. Our party consisted of 4 adults, my husband and I, my friend and handicapped son. My son was unable to use the buck beds because he was unable to climb and the couch was a love seat that did not open for a bed, so he slept with me. There was not enough room for 4 suit cases of clothes, no dresser’s. We were going to cook several meals and use the grill which was filthy. The refrigerator was of good size. I could not fathomed 6 adults sleeping and using this cottage especially if everyone had to stay inside due to increment weather. Our group stayed one night and paid for seven. We were able to find another cottage larger and near the beach and a lot less expensive. I was very disappointed with this cottage.

Fun Stay at Grandma’s Cottage
Pros: The communication with the owners was great; they responded to any inquiries in a timely and friendly manner. The cottage and surrounding community of cottages was super cute, like stepping back in time to the Cape of a previous era. All the neighbors and other renters were friendly and took the time to stop and chat when we walked by. The private beach was literally only about a 2 minute walk. We really appreciated that they allowed our dog to stay too. We were greeted upon check-in with a handwritten card welcoming us, which was a sweet personal touch. Cons: The cottage does not have a shower in the bathroom; it only has an outdoor shower, surrounded by a fence. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, apparently due to a town ordinance (so not the owners’ fault). No air conditioning, although there was a ceiling fan and portable fan provided. The bedrooms do not have doors, just heavy curtains separating them from the main living area, The cottage was pretty dusty, seeming like it wasn’t thoroughly cleaned between renters. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and didn’t mind roughing it for a few nights. The friendliness of the owners, nice community, and proximity to the beach made up for any of the cons.

Beach Week
We had a great week at the cottage. The location was great (a minute to the beach and close to restaurants etc...) and the cottage had numerous items for the beach (chairs, beach towels, cart). There is a nice deck but the yard could use some sprucing up as it was slightly overgrown with weeds. Most suitable for familes with younger kids as the top bunks are small. Also there is no AC (but several fans are provided) and the shower is outside.

Beach at your fingertip!
This was a quaint cabin only steps from the beach. The amities were great and so was the communication with the owners. One of our days we had rain and they thought to send us rainy day activities. We had so much fun. I would recommend this cottage to any of my friends and the support of the owners was amazing.
