About Pretty Picky Properties

There are a lot of places to rent for a summer vacation on the Lower Cape. There are only a few Pretty Picky Properties. Most are directly on or very near the beach. Our homeowners love their properties, fastidiously maintain them, and expect guests to treat them accordingly. Our guests demand a prime location and a vacation experience that far exceeds the typical Cape summer rental.

Get Picky About Guest Service

When you spend a lot of money for a perfect summer vacation, you want to be sure before you commit. That's why we take the time to carefully and completely answer all your questions by phone or email. If you can visit the Cape in advance, we'll be happy to show you one or more properties you're considering.

As your vacation approaches, we'll call or email a confirmation, offering detailed directions and day-of-arrival instructions. We'll personally meet with you at your Pretty Picky Property within the first 24 hours to welcome you and review property specifics. And we're always nearby and available to answer your questions about the area - shopping, dining, activities, etc. As well as deal with any emergencies that might come up.

After your stay, we'll follow up to confirm your complete satisfaction and offer you a "First Refusal" option for a repeat visit the following season.

Who's Behind Pretty Picky Properties

We are Karen, Jim and Blake Decker, licensed real estate sales persons and long-time Cape property owners. We have our own cherished beachfront cottage, which we rent for some weeks each summer, when we're not living there ourselves. Following some very frustrating experiences with local conventional, factory-like rental agents, we saw the need for a premium vacation rental service for picky home owners like ourselves and the discriminating guests we want to attract.

That's why we created Pretty Picky Properties, a highly personalized, attentive and caring approach to renting a select and limited group of prime lower Cape vacation properties. We are ready to do for you what we've done for ourselves and the guests who rent our cottage each year: provide complete peace of mind and total satisfaction with the summer rental experience. Just by getting Pretty Picky!
