Your Cottage By The Sea
Full service property management. Personal touch, always.

We don't just manage your property. We build the reputation it deserves.

Maryn and Dave oversee everything — personally. From the welcome basket waiting at arrival to the labeled drawers that make guests feel instantly at home. We think of the things most managers never consider, because we care about your guests having a genuinely stress-free vacation.

That's what turns a first-time renter into someone who books the same week, three years in a row.

One property. Two people. Zero surprises.

Meet Your Managers

Hi, we're Maryn & Dave.

When you hand us the keys to your Cape Cod property, you're not handing them to a call center or a rotating staff of strangers. You're handing them to us — two real people who live and breathe Cape Cod, know its rhythms, and treat every home like it's our own.

We walk every property personally. We look at it through the eyes of a renter — what's missing, what needs freshening up, what small additions (a good can opener, an extra beach towel, a box of puzzles on a rainy day) turn a five-star stay into a guest who books year after year.

We handle your listing photography, write your description, set your pricing, answer every inquiry, manage every booking, send the welcome packet, prepare the welcome basket, and we're the number your guests call if anything comes up at 9pm on a Saturday.

Our experience is our superpower. And after 37 five-star reviews, we'd like to think it shows.

"From the moment you contact us to the moment your guests check out — you will only ever deal with Maryn and Dave."
Full Service Management

Everything. We mean that.

Most property managers hand off parts of the job. We don't. From the first walkthrough to the last checkout, we handle it all — so you never have to coordinate between vendors, photographers, or platforms.

🚶

Property Walkthrough

We visit your home in person, assess what needs updating, identify what supplies will make guests happiest, and build a tailored action plan before you ever list.

📸

Professional Photography

With backgrounds in TV and film, we both understand how to light a room and capture the beauty shots that sell your listing.

📣

Marketing & Listing

We write the listing copy, set competitive pricing based on seasonal Cape Cod demand, and manage your presence across platforms to keep your calendar full.

💬

Inquiries & Bookings

Every question, every booking request, every message — we handle it personally and promptly. Guests always reach a real human who knows your property.

🗝️

Guest Check-In & Support

We manage arrivals, distribute the welcome packet, and are available throughout every stay. If something goes sideways at 9pm, guests call us — not you.

📋

Contracts & Welcome Packet

Professional rental agreements, house rules, local recommendations, emergency contacts — every guest arrives fully informed and ready to enjoy their stay.

🧺

Saturday Turnovers

Cape Cod runs on Saturday-to-Saturday rentals. We plan for smooth, reliable turnovers every week — stocked, clean, and ready for the next family.

🧴

Supplies & Inventory

We track what your home needs — kitchen essentials, paper goods, beach gear — and make sure it's always stocked to the standard guests expect.

🎁

Welcome Basket

Every arriving guest is greeted with a thoughtful welcome basket — a small Cape Cod touch that guests consistently mention in their five-star reviews.

What Renters Actually Search For

Two things that separate
a good rental from a great one.

Most Cape Cod homeowners don't realize how much these two details drive bookings — until they see the search numbers. We make sure the properties we manage check both boxes.

#1 Most Searched  ·  Pets Welcome Only 24% of rentals allow pets

Guests traveling with dogs are one of the most loyal repeat-booking demographics on the Cape. We understand not every homeowner is willing to allow pets — but for those who are, the competitive advantage is significant. We handle the pet policy, the deposits, and the added turnover care.

Top 10 Searched  ·  Linens Included Only 50% of Cape rentals provide them

Half your competition is making guests count the beds and pack their own sheets and towels. Nobody wants to do that. Providing linens immediately separates your rental from 50% of the market.

We strongly encourage every homeowner we work with to have two complete sets of linens — sheets, pillowcases, and towels for every bed. That way Saturday turnover never depends on waiting for laundry to finish. Set A goes in the wash, Set B is already made up and ready. Clean, fast, stress-free.

“Having so much available made packing for our trip so much easier.”

"We have been staying here at this house the past 3 years and each year the details of this house get better and better. Maryn and David know how to host — no detail is left out and their attention and responsiveness are unmatched to other places we have stayed. We feel so welcome and comfortable, and being able to bring our dog without hesitation is a plus for sure! We will be back that's for sure!"

"First time renting here but Wow… Beautiful home featuring immaculate interior and exterior. Every possible amenity is thought of — beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, beach cart, fully stocked kitchen. Having so much available made packing for our trip so much easier. Our week was perfect and honestly can not wait until next year!!!!"

Faith H. · Milford, PA  ·  Family of 10 + 2 dogs
★★★★★

"We've been renting on the Cape for over 15 years, and this home is hands down the best property we've ever stayed in. Maryn and Dave are exceptional hosts — communication was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. We were greeted with a sweet welcome basket complete with s'mores, a special gift for our grandson, and even a treat for our dog Rosie!"

Nancy S. · 15-year Cape Cod renter
★★★★★

"This house was absolutely perfect for our family! The house was big, the backyard was fenced in (our dog might have loved the house more), and the amenities throughout the house were such an added bonus. The house is also in a great location — Mayflower Beach in 5 minutes! Our hosts were SO thoughtful and went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect! 10/10!!!"
