Our family enjoyed a wonderful week in Osterville. The house was exactly as advertised if not better! It had everything we needed, and was spotless. We enjoyed daily trips to the beach and Main Street. The pond was walking distance away, and the water was absolutely crystal clear. We will definitely be returning! ##### Taylor F.

Has all the kitchen amenities you could want, wonderful deck for grilling and eating outside. Joshua Pond is a real gem - we spent most of our time there rather than the beach because it was so fantastic. Would highly recommend. ##### Peter M. Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2021 ---
