Stayed for 3 months and really enjoyed it. The deck and screen porch overlooking the bay was very peaceful. Host was excellent and very responsive to minor needs. - (Apr 2026 - VRBO)

Had a lovely time at Scallop Cove over Christmas with our pups. Beautiful, easy access to both the beach and the bay, with a lovely grassy area in front of the cottages. The convenience store & tackle shop in front are not affiliated with the cottages, but are super convenient for quick snacks/drinks, and the staff was very friendly. There was only one other cottage occupied while we were there, and it was incredibly quiet; we'd definitely return for another holiday retreat! - (Dec 2025 - Airbnb)

Any one of these cottages at Scallop Cove is the best place to stay on the Cape, especially if you bring pets. You wake up to the amazing sunrise over the bay and the sun sets over the ocean across the street. There is private beach access with this accommodation. Having the store right there is super helpful as well. Cute little place with a great back yard. We will be back!! - (May 2025 - VRBO)
