Charming House

We loved staying at this well-located, well appointed home! The beds and bedrooms were all as described and the kitchen well equipped. We were there in June (off season) and the quick walk to the quiet beach was perfect. We enjoyed the large outdoor space and especially the outdoor shower! The sunroom was a delightful oasis and offered a quiet space for reading and relaxing.

Family beach vacation

We had a wonderful vacation with our two children at Rich and Martine’s Home. We loved being able to walk to the beach and the marketplace. Martine was extremely helpful and checked in multiple times to make sure we were taken care of. Would absolutely rent again.

Absolutely Wonderful

Everything was wonderful, the convenience of the location to the beach and the marketplace which my children loved! Mini golfing, ice cream, and live music-- we had a blast! The beach was perfect, so close and not crowded. The house was wonderful, my children enjoyed riding on their scooters around the neighborhood. Martine was very responsive to any questions, it was a wonderful experience.

Great Location, cute house

We had a great week in Popponesset; the house was very cute, clean and a very short and easy walk to the beach. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. They called upon our arrival to make sure everything was Ok and working properly and also before we left to check on things. We happened to have a very hot week so it would have been nice if their were window AC's in the bedrooms but other than that, the house and owners were great. We would rent again and recommend to friends! Thank you!

Great week at Poppy!

We had a wonderful week at the beach. The house was exactly as advertised...nicely furnished (very beachy) and a short walk to a private beach. We loved the outdoor space behind the house (particularly the shower!). The beach was very quiet during the week, but started to get busier over the weekend. We loved that we could walk to the Popponesset Market as well. Martine was very responsive to questions and was always reachable throughout the week. I mentioned when we were booking that we were planning to celebrate my mother-in-law's 60th birthday while we were there and she was so thoughtful that she left a bottle of wine for her with a Happy Birthday label...very thoughtful! We would highly recommend the property and will definitely consider coming back in the future.

THE LISTING WAS DECEPTIVE. AC CONSISTED OF WINDOW UNITS IN ONLY TWO BEDROOMS. HOUSE REALLY DOES NOT SLEEP SIX. ONLY FOUR BEDS IN THREE SMALL BEDROOMS. MY WIFE AND I SLEPT IN A QUEEN, AND MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD TO SHARE A DOUBLE AND SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM AS THEIR MOM. MY OTHER ADULT DAUGHTER SLEPT IN A SMALL ROOM WITH ONLY A FAN. THE LARGE BEDROOM HAD AN UNMARKED STEPDOWN TO ENTER THE ROOM. I ALMOST FELL SEVERAL TIMES. THE KITCHEN SPACE WAS QUITE SMALL AND ATTACHED TO THE LIVING ROOM. IT HAD UNACCEPTABLE APPLIANCES AND NO DISHWASHER. LIMITED SPACE AND NO DINING ROOM TABLE TO SHARE MEALS. NO DINING ROOM IN FACT. THERE WERE ANTS, AND I SAW A ROACH. LOCATION WAS GREAT AND MADE THE TRIP WORTH IT! NO CABLE TV. ROKU PROVIDED LIMITED VIEWING OPTIONS. NICE LARGE TV. NO READING LAMPS OR CHAIRS. ONLY ONE LARGE COUCH THAT PROVIDED LITTLE SPACE FOR SIX TO INTERACT OR PLAY. THANKS, STEVE WILKINS

Poppy

We enjoyed our stay but we thought the house had air conditioning but it was only in two bedrooms. The third bedroom got warm for a few nights. We also like to cook and were disappointed with the pans, silverware and plates. Overall it was a great vacation and we loved being back in Popponesset after so many years.

Great getaway

We had a great week in Poppy. Martine and Rich were great hosts. Very fun beachy decor throughout the cottage. Great outdoor dining table, fire pit and bocce ball court. Plenty of seating inside for the whole family with TV in the living room and master. Wifi worked very well, we connected multiple devices ( phones, laptops and iPads) without any connectivity issues. Only 2 blocks to the beach & a very doable walk into poppy Marketplace ( half mile). For dinner, coffee and entertainment. The outside shower is a great option. We recommend this cottage in a nice family neighborhood.

We love this area having stayed in the neighborhood before but this is our first time in this property and I hope we can get back. The house and amenities were just as described. The backyard was perfect for our family reunion. I think we had the firepit going everyday. We even lit it once and had breakfast around it! The screen porch was a fun addition for our nighttime card games. Super close to beach. Highly recommend!!!!

Relaxing Beach Getaway

My family really enjoyed our time at Martine and Rich's Popponesett home. The location is quite/safe and is great with two younger kids to be able to walk to a private beach from the house. The check in progress was seamless and Martine reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. There was a thoughtful housewarming gift of both practical cleaning products and some sweet treats for my kids. The house was clean and we really enjoyed the outdoor space and screened porch as optional relaxing spaces. Martine was also nice enough to go out of her way to mail back my daughter's ring that she had left behind. We would highly recommend this home.

The owners responded very quickly to all my questions. Property is well maintained, clean and very convenient, less than 10 min walk to private beach, and to Mashpee Commons. And it is a fantastic beach! My son left a pair of shorts behind and the owners sent it to my son in college. We would love to go back and stay longer next time.

We always feel welcome and comfortable here..The owners, Rich and Martine take extra steps to accommodate and apply little extras that make a big difference! There are so many lovely choices of things to do while here... Swimming, biking, walking, shopping, dining, spending quality time with family, relaxing,reading, or heading out to numerous close-by destinations... The property is always clean and very well appointed and the owners are a pleasure to work with! Our family loves it here and are planning another stay in 2019.

Cute, cozy, comfortable cottage!!

We loved every minute of our stay. We had 5 adults stay and had plenty of room. We enjoyed using the outdoor shower. Played bocce and sat by the campfire every evening. We were out touring cape cod every day and loved the convenience of the mashpee commons shopping for groceries. We used the BBQ to cook our own supper and made breakfast in the well equipped kitchen. The beach was a short walk away so we had coffee on our beach walk every morning. Our one beach day we walked for 2 hours and still hadn't run out of beach to explore!! All in all it was a perfect vacation and perfect accommodation. A very memorable first visit to Cape Cod. Thank you for the opportunity to rent your beach home !! If we ever return to this area we would definitely stay here again.

Best family vacation Summer '17 !

Martine and Richie have a beautiful home that we were lucky enough to enjoy for a week this summer. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Feels like home. The owners were available anytime you have questions or need something. It is a short walk to a beautiful private beach. The luxury of walking back and forth to the cottage is priceless.

A wonderful home!

This was our 2nd year staying at this property. The location is great - just a short walk to the beach or to marketplace. The house is comfortable, clean and inviting. The neighborhood is quiet and family oriented. The yard offers a nice fire pit for evenings of smore making and also a bocci court! There is plenty of room for other outdoor games too. We brought cornhole and can jam and had a great time. The beach is a straight walk down the road and is clean and not over crowded. The owners are wonderful and call to check in after the first day. It is obvious that they want to make sure you have everything you need. We highly recommend this property and I am sure we will be staying there again!

About the host

Hosted by Mr and Mrs Rich Palanza

Host profile image
My husband Rich and I have lived in Mansfield all our lives. From 1979 Rich spent most of his summers at his parents Pocassett beach house, which we visited all the time when our older children were little. But as our family grew we realized we needed a space of our own.

Why they chose this property

Uncle Henry was only the second property we looked at on Cape Cod in January of 2012. This cottage was a sight to see. Boy did you need vision and that is exactly what my husband had. He gave life to our dreams and hours of endless work to make this tare-down an adorable cottage and a perfect family getaway. We love escaping to the sea side where life at the cottage is simple.

What makes this property unique

location location, location. From the moment we walked through this cottage. We saw something special that could be achieved. Rich and I Still can't believe we found this vacation house a simple walk to a beautiful beach and breathtaking ocean views. This cottage is home away from home. We embrace such a simpler life here at the beach. It doesn't take hours to clean the cottage. The kids don't need iphones, video games, ipads etc, they play bocce, tetherball in the yard or cards and boardgames on the porch. They ride bikes and play in the sand at the beach and swim endlessly in the ocean or take endless walks to the Market place.

Laundry is minimal, the kids are in bathing suits 80% of the time. What a joy it is to experience the simple pleasure of life here at Popponesset. The friends we have made are wonderful people. You will love it here. The safe community, lots of activities and new friends who all look out for eachothers kids, are what make this location such a unique, special and memorable place to vacation. We simply love Poppy time.
