Amazing house by the beach!

We really enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach and restaurants and we loved all of the personal touches throughout. The breezeway was the best with the comfy furniture (especially the chaise lounge). One of the best houses we have ever stayed in on the Cape! We loved it!

Great stay for mom and daughter trip

Very clean home and great central location to see all of Cape Cod. We met the super nice neighbor staying at the house next door, also a rental by Lynn and Steve. Liked the outdoor shower. Great stay and communication with the owners. Home was well equipped with towels, linens and kitchen items.

Cape Rental

This was a wonderful vacation rental. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. I appreciated the owner contacting me after check in to ensure all was fine. Would definitely recommend this rental to anyone visiting Cape Cod. I will be renting again if I return to the Cape.

Great accommodations and hosts!

We had an awesome week at Summer Ayer - 6/5/21 to 6/12/21. The home is spotless and very convenient to the beach, bike trails, golf and several other Cape attractions. Lynn and Keith added several nice touches such as paper products, coffee, wine and chocolate which were most appreciated. We would highly recommend this property! Ann & Rick

Short term Winter rental

This house was perfect for our short-term Winter rental. We stayed here while our own house was being renovated. Great location, fully stocked, and super clean. Despite the weather we enjoy long walks after work and this house is less than 1 mile to the Beach. The owners Keith and Lynn were wonderful and always available when we had questions. We will definitely recommend this house to family and friends.

An excellent retreat

I was going to start off with a one star review, given our Monday was a complete washout. Turns out Keith did not wave his magic wand that day. Only joking! This vacation was spectacular. On arrival: Everything we needed was provided: sheets, towels, where to eat, gas for the BBQ. This was a perfect getaway for Massachusetts residents, (or indeed anyone), everything was perfect, couldn't fault anything. We look forward to our follow up vacation next year. Everything was as advertised: South Yarmouth - Check Walk to beach - Check (we didn't, 4yr/2yr old) High Speed Internet - Check Bottom line: If you feel that you are not happy with this rental, something is seriously wrong with you. A family of 4 with high expectations exited here already looking forward to booking next year.

Amazing Family Memories in Yarmouth!

This was by far the best VRBO/Air B&B type experience we have ever had (and we've had a few). Keith and Lynn are absolutely fantastic hosts and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable for all. Lynn knew we were travelling with two young kids and went so far as to gift our children toy/plush whales as mementos of the trip. This absolutely delighted our young children beyond belief and was such a kind gesture. The accommodations themselves are perfect. As most commenters have noted, the porch is everything. Almost every meal was spent outdoors on the porch f it didn't take place at the beach itself. Oh and the beach! Such wonderful and warm beaches perfect for the family are literally 5 minutes from the door step. The neighbourhood is quiet, calm and charming. Everything you need is a skip and hop away. We were looking for a quiet and easy week away for our young family and we got exactly what we came for. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you Keith and Lynn. We'll be back!!!

October at Summer Ayer

I had the good fortune to stay at Summer Ayer in October 2023. Everything about my stay was outstanding. Booking and making payment was straightforward. The host was excellent about communicating before and during the rental period; any emails I sent received a lightning-fast response. The house and property were perfect for my month-long stay. Lynn and Keith have thoughtfully curated an amazing beach house that looks and feels like Cape Cod inside and out. The immaculately clean house is comfortable and roomy and has been outfitted with everything a vacationer could need or want. Great thought and detail went into how the house was equipped; there are plenty of pillows, bedding, towels, etc.; the kitchen has been beautifully outfitted with cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. The house is decorated in a clean, casual, nautical style that constantly reminds you that the beach is just down the street. The covered outdoor patio is a great bonus space. The yard is beautifully landscaped and has a couple of sitting areas and even a hammock. The gas grill was nice to have. The outdoor shower provided a new experience. The house is situated in a cute, quiet neighborhood a couple of blocks south of Route 28. The mid-Cape location is convenient for excursions in every direction. Summer Ayer is a wonderful vacation house, and the Shaws are wonderful hosts. I hope to be able to come again in the near future!

Perfect vacation!

This home has everything and more for the perfect cape trip. My family and I could ride our bikes to the Parker River Beach, just a ten minute trip (and that is with a five year old rider)! Keith and Lynn go above and beyond for their guests, and the house was cool and comfortable for our return from a hot day at the beach! We loved eating our meals outside and enjoying the beautiful yard and brand new grill. Can’t wait to go back!

Good location for young family

This was a very clean and well decorated Cape Cod house. The accommodations work well for a couple with two children. The location is perfect for accessing the beaches and Hyannis with ferries to the islands. There are many mini golf options and restaurants as well as two full service grocery stores and drug stores very close by. The neighborhood is very quiet.

A perfect oasis!

Spent the month of April at 50 Holly Lane and it could not have been more perfect. (Well, maybe if it was 80 degrees and sunny, but I digress.) The cottage is impeccably decorated; the wifi is adequate for working remotely; the location offers access to the beach and to most anything else you need within walking distance; and the hosts, Keith and Lynn, could not have been more communicative or accommodating. We took advantage of some challenging hiking trails (definitely check out the Sand Dune Trail in Provincetown), several area golf courses, and great takeout (Gerardi's Cafe!). All in all, Summer Ayer was a perfect oasis for these crazy times.. Thanks, Keith and Lynn for sharing your gem of a home!
