We loved our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we could want. It was on a pond which was perfect for my family. We went swimming and used the kayaks and paddle board. We enjoyed our stay a lot and would definitely go back and recommend it to our friends.

Perfect family getaway

The house is perfect for a small family getaway. Our family of four had more than enough room at the house and nothing can beat the direct lake access from the house. We enjoyed all our meals on the deck overlooking the lake and S’mores by the campfire at night. The house was very clean and everything worked well. We would def consider renting the house again.

A wonderful experience

The cottage was very clean and the property well maintained. Paddle board, kayak & floaties were a great way to enjoy the quiet pond. Host was very responsive to every question we had. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing place but close to lots of things to do & places to eat.

Perfect for Relaxing

Stayed with my husband and adult daughter. The house is adorable, not to mention clean and well stocked with everything needed for a getaway, from cooking essentials to kayaks! We relaxed on the back deck for morning coffee and meals; sunbathed on the lower pond deck with a good book; and kayaked every day.

Fantastic lake-side house

We had a great time on this property. If you enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and generally spending time in and around fresh water, you are going to like this place. The house is clean and comfortable. AC can come in useful on hot days. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked. The deck is a strong plus - it is comfortable and has great views. Importantly, the host is absolutely fantastic to deal with.

Just Like Home

We had an amazing time at Grandpa’s Cottage. The rental is exactly how it is described and shown in pictures. Very clean and very well stocked with anything you might need which is rare with rentals. Beds are comfortable, adequate seating for all. Grill worked great and the awning on the porch was a savior. Pond is beautiful, serene and clean and we had loads of fun with the kayaks and paddleboard. Very close to local stores and a great seafood market up the road. We loved everything about Grandpa’s cottage!

Pond perfection on the Cape

Just returned from an amazing vacation at Grandpas Cottage. Everything from communicating with Rachel at the start and conclusion of our stay to SO much in between. From kayaking and paddleboarding to the tranquility of mornings and evenings on the deck. The small details make a huge difference as well. We loved the photos and notes of family history and the coffee mugs as a takeaway was very thoughtful. We couldn’t be more happy with every minute of our time at Pimilico pond and the surrounding area. Will absolutely return! Thank you Rachel and Mike!

Could not have been more perfect!!

What a lovely location! It met our needs perfectly, with a beautiful and tranquil pond-side property and only a 15 min drive to Scusset Beach. I’ve never stayed at a rental with such comfortable beds and bedding! The home was pristine and had everything we needed. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water, and the little beach area was the perfect swimming spot for my friend’s three-year-old daughter. We didn’t want to leave and we are already trying to figure out a way to come back next year and stay even longer! The owners were very responsive and friendly - we had one minor issue with the grill the first night and it was resolved immediately. Best vacation stay I’ve had!

Beautiful vacation cottage

I had a wonderful vacation. Bright clean updated waterfront cottage. My family spent most of the time relaxing in the multi level yard. Cottage level had a fire pit with stringed lights for nighttime and lower level brings you out to a large deck on the water. There were three kayaks for our enjoyment and beach towels and lounge chairs too. There is a stunning view of the lake from the double sliders off the family room. They lead out to an extra large deck with seating for six. The owners were so friendly and checked in with us upon our arrival and during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. The Location was perfect. Short drive to shopping, beaches, restaurants etc. I would highly recommend a stay at this Cape Cod gem. Already planning a return trip.

What a gem!

We enjoyed our stay so much! The host is very reactive. We had a small incident when arriving which was solved immediately (thanks again Rachel!) The property was clean and well provided with everything we needed. We were 6 persons: 4 adults plus 2 kids (9 and 11 years old) and had enough space. Our kids loved the loft ;-) Every morning we started our day with a little kayak tour and swimming in/around the lake (the direct access to the lake is priceless :-)) There are also multiple sitting accommodations on the property, so depending on the time of the day your can follow the sun / the shade (depending on your preference). The outdoor shower was much-loved. We left just yesterday and our kids are already asking if we could go there again next summer ;-) Conclusion: great house, great garden, great lake and absolutely worth staying there! 🥰

Fabulous Getaway

The cottage on Pimlico Pond was perfect for my husband and I. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck overlooking the pond with the ducks, birds and busy squirrels. We enjoyed kayaking on the pond and relaxing on the lounge chairs in the company of brilliantly colored dragonflies. The lovely neighborhood was very quiet. I hope I did not disturb the neighbors with my flute playing! It is in a great location to visit all that Sandwich has to offer. We were able to see the Heritage Gardens and Museum, Sandwich Glass Museum and Green Briar Nature Center all a short drive from the property. We also spent an afternoon at Whydah Pirate Museum in Yarmouth. Fascinating! There was plenty more that we did not get to do. I hope that we will be able to stay there again. Rachel is a super host and was easy to get in touch with and made us feel welcomed. Thank you for making such a lovely place available to us.

Cozy cottage right on the pond (large pond). Beautiful yard, nice deck and private dock. Well equipped kitchen. Make sure you see what supplies you have available to you before you make a grocery store run to avoid extra items that may not be needed. Lots of games, water devices etc. You cannot go wrong here.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I was born in Middleboro, MA, but my heart is on the Cape. I currently live in Bristol, RI. I love to play tennis, spend time with my grandkids, and socialize! That's why I love being a host.

Why they chose this property

I've been visiting the Sandwich area since my father built a cottage here when I was a child.

What makes this property unique

My father built it with his own two hands with scraps he pulled from the nearby Air Force base. Ever resourceful, he found the spot while looking for sand for a construction project; he discovered Pimlico Pond, and the rest is history. My family has been coming here as long as I can remember.
