We stayed at Crosswinds for the first week in June with out 6 month old son whilst we explored the Cape, and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Ron and Andrea were brilliant hosts, friendly and approachable. They went out of their way to source a travel cot for our son, at no extra cost, before we arrived, and they even went and found us a clothes airer when they saw that we had hung his clothes out to dry on the garden furniture (we didn't have enough change for the dryers at the local laundrette!).
The cottage itself was perfect, just the right amount of space for us and very comfortable. My wife in particular enjoyed the massage chair. The homemade jam and bread for breakfast was delicious - unfortunately we ate it all in about two days. Location was good, and despite being next to the main highway there was absolutely no road noise audible from inside the cottage, and very little in the garden.
Location was good for exploring the Cape, pretty much everywhere can be reached in under an hour. Tip for other Brits, the local supermarket (just off the main roundabout south of the Crosswinds) stocks proper tea bags! Good sandwiches/packed lunches can be got from the Eastham Suprette or Box Lunch.
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning when our son is a bit older (and can wear the Cape Cod hoodie that Andrea gave us)!

Overall, this was a pretty nice place to stay, we were pleased. The owners were kind and accommodating. It is located at a great location for exploring Cape Cod. The owners are very "green" with solar paneling on the roof, and boxes for recycling (which we loved). One thing we did not like was the smell of the linens and towels, they smelled damp or musty, as if they had hung dry or were not dried completely before placed on the bed/shower bar. That was the only complaint we had, we did not like the blankets up by our faces. The room had lots of books and pamplets, other visitor notes about good places to eat and see. Very friendly and calm location, we biked 4 miles to the beaches. Fridge was stocked with fruits, bread, eggs, yogurts, homemade jam, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, you clean your own dishes, sponge in the room was in need of replacement. Room has a coffee maker and a massage chair pad, they made the room very homey.

Hosts were friendly and pleasant. Very welcoming. Room and coffee maker needed some deep cleaning. Were surprised we were responsible for making our own breakfast with the food hosts provided. Food and sundries were adequate.

My daughter and I stayed here for two nights and fell in love with Cape Cod! The cottage was the perfect size for us. The kitchen was well stocked with food, cooking gear, and dishes. Ron and Andrea are delightful; clearly they love where they are and what they do. I most emphatically recommend staying here!
