Stay here for a memorable vacation

Charming house in a spectacular, secluded location. The house is equipped will all the amenities needed for a beach stay and for in-house entertainment. There is an easy walk to what is essentially a private beach as well as walking trails at the Audubon Center. Fond memories of morning coffee on the deck and gathering around the dining room table for meals and fun. Loved getting to know charming Barnstable Village.

This house is in a special location and the views from the deck were beautiful. It's next to the Audubon Nature Preserve which is excellent with trails to beach and marshlands. House was clean and well stocked of all important items. Very quiet and idyllic spot. Enjoyed getting to know Barnstable and surrounding area. Nirvana Coffee near by was a favorite morning pitstop, Hosts were reachable and attentive.

Perfect Spot

Perfect spot for a classic cape getaway. The home is charming with abundant windows to let in fresh air, and air conditioners for when you need them. Quiet location with serene marsh views, and an easy walk to a secluded stretch of beach, perfect for exploring at low tide or to just sit and read a book. Kitchen was well equipped with all the basics. Beds were comfortable with extra linens. Hosts went out of their way to make communications easy and provide information about the house and the area.Would happily stay here again.

Comfortable, spacious vacation home

This is a lovely property with absolutely beautiful marsh views. It is equipped with all the comforts of home and everything you need for a beach vacation. The bedrooms are all spacious and very comfortable with the best air conditioners. The house is located on a very pretty, quiet road right off of quaint Route 6A. It is an easy walk to the Long Pasture beach - we did it with a 6 and 7 year old. The owners are very friendly, kind and responsive. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a rental property on the Cape.

Peaceful and rejuvenating

Our stay the 1st week in July was wonderful. The house was situated close to a stunning private beach and overlooked a beautiful marsh- we enjoyed interacting with wildlife such as birds and a mama deer/fawn. The outdoor shower was our favorite. Window AC units kept the house cool and comfortable. Plenty of beds for our family of 5 though we would have loved curtains in the master. We enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the marsh. Very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of beach chairs/toys in the garage. We really enjoyed exploring Barnstable and surrounding towns. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely home with wonderful views

This home was ideal for our extended family of 4 adults. Husband and I were in the master on the main level, sister and niece enjoyed the private bedrooms and shared bath upstairs. The kitchen was fully stocked with every utensil and appliance needed, we were able to cook some delicious meals, while watching the amazing sunsets. The location is secluded but easily accessible to everything (shopping, restaurants, etc). The trails at the Audubon Center (across the road) are a nice walk and take you through the woods and down to a sandy beach. We enjoyed our stay and I would love to come back here on our next visit.

Lovely home, be aware of a few things

Be aware that nowhere in the VRBO listing on does it mention that you will be required to bring your own sheets and towels or pay to rent them. This is supposedly a MA law for COVID (which is silly because it's woefully outdated and you are still sleeping on pillows, other bedding that is not washed). I was not made aware of this when I initially rented. Be sure to confirm this before you pay your first payment. Also be aware that there are no curtains in the king bedroom. There is a lovely view from the windows, but at 515am every morning the sun came up and sleep was over. That's just too early for vacation! The other bedrooms have curtains. There could easily be shades or curtains that can be pulled fully out of the way to make the room more comfortable. The upside is that the a/c in that room is the best in the house. The kitchen had everything necessary for our stay, including everything for lobster eating. There is an extra refrigerator in the basement which was really handy since the one in the kitchen is a bit small for the house. There were all sorts of beach chairs, an umbrella or two, a wagon for the beach. Bug spray was provided/left by former guests. We primarily went to Mayflower beach since we had smaller kids in the group. Get there by 9am to get a spot! Order sandwiches from the Dennis Public Market - they were the best. We ordered lobsters from Peterson's Fish Market. We went to the Drive-In in Wellfleet which was fun. Chatham is charming and the Chatham Squire had the best lobster bisque of the week - we tried many. The home is lovely!

Great location and beautiful and comfortable home

We spent a few days on the Cape for a service at the National Cemetery. The location is central to everything we needed with plenty of restaurants and other nearby services. Just a few steps away is the beautiful Long Pasture Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary with access to the beach. The home is comfortable and inviting and well appointed. The view from the dinning area, bedrooms and outside deck is beautiful. In all it was an excellent stay and would visit again.

Relaxing getaway

This house is amazing. The pictures show exactly what you will expect in the house. The owners of the house were easily reachable which I really appreciate. The views off of the marsh early in the morning and late at night are literally breathtaking and are still gorgeous all day. The street that this house is on is so quiet and peaceful. There was more than enough to do within a short drive of the house, not to mention the fabulous restaurants close by! One thing to note, the King bedroom downstairs does not have blinds, which was fine for us having a toddler that wakes up early in the morning regardless, but something to note. We're already planning our next stay!

The ideal Cape getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed how private and quiet this property was. We spent a week here with our three-year-old son who, on the morning of day three said, "did you know we have good days here?" which could not have been more accurate. The beach within walking distance was a delight, which we tended to catch at low tide which meant lots of exploration of clams, oysters, and snails. Arrival and departure were easy. Craig and Sharon were easy to communicate with and responsive. The house was in a great location with everything you could need within a 5 - 20 minute drive. The best part was Craig and Sharon's recommendations of restaurants, activities, and sights to see. We took full advantage of them and were never disappointed! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

September retreat

This was the nicest house we’ve ever rented in the Cape and one of the best mini vacations. The house exceeded our expectations. The views from the deck and balcony were spectacular. The beach is just a short walk down a path. After covid isolation for 6 months this was a welcome getaway filled with beauty and good vibes! Christine A.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at Craig and Sharon's house. The location is perfect for a quiet, tranquil getaway and the home is well stocked with kitchen items. We thoroughly enjoyed evenings on the porch overlooking the marsh and a couple of days on the beach which is within walking distance. A truly memorable and amazing getaway.

Fantastic Stay During Challenging Times

Despite the week not being as we anticipated in light of the current pandemic, we truly enjoyed every minute of our stay here. The home was ideal for our two girls - aged 3 and 8 - with an abundance of indoor toys for a rainy day as well as the all-important beach toys which were well stocked and used extensively. The home was quiet, spacious, and ideally located just a few minutes from the calm Cape Cod Bay and adjacent to one of the premier Audobon properties. Centrally located on the Cape, we were able to head to the ocean side as well as up to Wellfleet for a movie at the drive-in one night. Finally, I can't say enough about how reachable Craig was when needed and the information provided on the area, recommended activities and restaurants, etc. that were invaluable to our stay. Above all, can't recommend this spot more highly for a family vacation. Hope to be able to make it back sometime in the future!

Peaceful, Private Cape Experience

We had a perfect week at this beautiful home. The reviews we read were glowing, but they didn’t do it justice. It is more comfortable, more private, more accommodating to parents and their young children, and closer to an amazing beach than we had expected. We were nervous to travel during COVID-19, but the owners did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome and safe. It was a fantastic week!
