In any event, you always do better to rent directly from an owner rather than through a third party listing site like airbnb, VRBO, Homeway etc.ĭo a Google search for the type of lodging you are looking for using the town name and then do your homework by reading reviews.

The reason some airbnb can charge less than legitimate bed and breakfasts is that they are generally anonymous which means that they may not be reporting the rental as income to the state or feds. If they are, they at least have the minimum in safety features like smoke and Carbon monoxide detectors. If you do decide to use airbnb I suggest you call the town hall of the town they are in to see if they are a legal rental with town. And most hosts of airbnb are not professional hosts so you may not get the amenities you expect. While we have not stayed in every rental property featured, unless otherwise stated, these listings are vetted based on Superhost status, amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor.In many cases, airbnb owners are not licensed, inspected or insured for guest liability. Looking for ideas for what to do on the 70-mile-long peninsula when you've booked your accommodations? We've got a whole Cape Cod guide that covers where to eat and what to see while you're there, no matter if you're staying in Bourne or Brewster. Whether you're traveling with the whole family or visiting on a romantic couple's weekend, there's a home for everyone on this list-and plenty of iconic cedar shake cottages to go around. Here, you'll find some of the best Cape Cod vacation rentals, organized geographically from the Upper Cape (towns like Sandwich and Falmouth) to the Outer Cape (like beloved Provincetown). And if you're thinking of visiting when temperatures hit the 70s come June, you'll want to start planning your stay already-return visitors often book their summer homes a year in advance. But that doesn't mean the cape is closed for business-in fact, the chillier months can be some of the most idyllic to explore, provided you're adequately bundled up and have a cozy Cape Cod Airbnb or vacation rental to lounge in. Come winter, Massachusetts's Cape Cod peninsula is devoid of summer crowds, historic lighthouses get a dusting of snow, and crabbing season wraps up.
