Host is absolutely the best. She checked on us upon arrival to make sure everything was good. The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The fenced in backyard is great for the pups but needs the grass replanted so you don't track in the sand.I would highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Adam! We’re so glad everything went smoothly and that you had a seamless experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again!
This house was perfect! Bigger than expected, very accommodating for pets but also you would not know that pets ever stayed there! Extremely clean, well stocked, super easy walk to the beach, pool, PB courts! The entire neighborhood was so nice! Absolutely loved it!
Everything was perfect. We had a great time and will be staying here again this summer.

Perfect stay on the beach!
This is our second time vacationing at this property. It is a lovely house and feels like a home away from home. Very clean and well-outfitted. Appreciate all the attention to detail! We even had welcome snacks!

Relaxing
Our family enjoyed our 6 week stay. The Host are awesome and respond promptly. The beds are comfortable. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in back yard, along with the walks on the beach. The home was nice and clean, kitchen had all required items you need to cook, along with an instant pot. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you Michelle and Julie!

Judy, thank you so much for this thoughtful review!
We’re so glad your family enjoyed your 6-week stay — and that the pups loved the fenced yard and beach walks 🐶🌊 That makes us smile. It means a lot to hear the home felt clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for cooking (the Instant Pot fans always make us happy 😄).
We hope to see you back at the Cape again next year!!
We had an exceptional stay! The house was pristine and well stocked with everything we needed for our beach vacation. One of the best vacation rentals I have ever stayed in. Location was great with a very short stroll to the beach in a nice neighborhood. Great job!

Cast Your Cares is a great home for a beach stay with a well appointed interior, great location close to the beach and the community pool and a fenced yard that keeps your pups safe and offers a fire pit and grill. Our family really appreciated the personal welcome by the host and the amenities the host provided in the home. Would love to have stayed longer.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is incredibly beautiful and remarkably clean. The owners obviously take pride in this house and supply so many extras (beach chairs and umbrellas, etc). We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to stay here again.
