• Cousins Getaway

  4/5

  A typical, turn of the 20th century frame house with lovely wraparound front porch, raised deck with chairs and table on the side of the house, next to a rose arbor in full bloom. Unfortunately, the weather was cool and windy, so we were unable to enjoy the outside amenities as much as we were hoping.

  The interior was a disappointment. The living room needs more seating, plus a new sofa. The dining room could seat 8. The kitchen had newer appliances, including a pod coffee maker along with a plentiful supply of pods. There were only 2 seats at a big counter. The upstairs was reached by 3 flights of steep stairs which would be difficult for older and very young guests. Though the listing said 31/2 baths, it should have read 2 full, 2 half as the claw foot tub was difficult to enter and there was no way for the bather to stand or comfortably sit, since the tub was situated under a low eave. The two bathrooms with showers lacked safe grab bars. All bathrooms lacked amenities such as soap and shampoo. The bedrooms with full size beds were comfortable but all the upstairs rooms needed more lighting. The house was within walking distance to restaurants and a few small shops. It was a short drive to the harbor and additional restaurants, historical sights.

• Perfect for Ironman 6-8 people

  5/5

  This house was perfect for hosting me and my family for Ironman weekend. It was 1/2 way between the swim start and transition area (Gerry Boyle Park) and the finish line (Long Wharf Park). Plenty of space to spread out and get ready for the race and bedrooms were spacious. The only thing to take notice of is the bathroom on the 3rd floor has only a tub, no shower. This did not affect us whatsoever, as my teenagers just used the community bathroom on the 2nd floor. Both 2nd floor bathrooms have showers. We had only one issue upon checking in, and the homeowner was responsive and together we determined it was not an issue - 3rd floor bedroom A/C unit was on a circuit breaker that needed to be flipped. We loved the town of Cambridge. All the neighbors were very nice, too!

• Great inside space

  4/5

  This house was our base for a 6 adult family vacation - the inside of the house is great - 3 floors, interesting decorations, lots of space - very unique and enjoyed by all. The beds were comfortable, plenty of supplies in the kitchen, great to have the washer and dryer and it was nice to be able to walk to town for dinner. So why not a "5 star" rating .... for our group the near constant traffic and the cameras made the porch much less enjoyable than we hoped and sharing the yard and fire pit/grill area with other guests with a dog also reduced our enjoyment of the property.
