On Cape Cod for a family wedding and reunion.

The trip was delightful and our VRBO met our needs and expectations. We were comfortable and slept in peace, the sheets were very high thread count, spa like really. The appliances were brand new, the tech was up to date and met our needs. The rinse off after a beech day was awesome. The location was perfects for family gatherings at other VRBO’s and the village watering holes.

Perfectly appointed

We had a wonderful time at the Cape staying at this home. It was located in a great neighborhood (my husband and I would go for walk in a couple of times). Enough room for our family with two living areas. Everything you needed for the beach was there. Good jumping off point to visit other towns on the Cape. Denis was very responsive with any questions we had.

Lovely home in lovely Osterville

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is is such a great location, in a quiet neighborhood with close proximity to Osterville Center and Dowses Beach. We didn't have any issues from check- in to check out. We found the home very clean, nicely updated and fully equip with everything we needed. The home fit our party of 4 adults and 1 child comfortably. The owner was easily accessible for any questions we had. We will definitely be back!

Nice getaway on the cape

The house is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood on mid-cape making it easy to get to many attractions. The house is very clean and organized, and seems recently renovated. The house has plenty of amenities, especially the outdoor furniture, the new grill and outdoor shower make it a very relaxed stay to enjoy the summer. It's also very nice that the host provides a beach pass for several local beaches, and our favorite is Dowses beach, which is a resident-only beach and was not crowded. The host, Denise, is very responsive and organized, providing lots of info about the house and the area; easy self check-in and check-out. Overall, we were glad that we chose this house for our vacation on the cape.

Great stay.

The house was exactly as advertised: extra clean, perfectly decorated and well stocked. Linens and towels were provided which is a major plus having had to pack my own in the past. Landlord was easy to reach and attentive. Had an issue with an appliance and a repair tech was out the next day. We had terrible weather this year and it was not a hardship to hang out in the house. It was convenient to beaches as advertised as well as close to Hyannis where we like the downtown. Will be adding grandchildren to next years' trip, so it may be a bit snug for us with 6 adults and new babies, otherwise, I would gladly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Wicklund

Host profile image
Hi! My husband George and I bought this house to enjoy with our own growing family. I grew up off Cape but always found my way to the ocean to recharge, energize, and play. I am excited to share that with you.

We want you to love your experience as much as we love staying in the house. If there is anything we can do to help make your stay more enjoyable, please reach out.

Cheers

Why they chose this property

One of the biggest advantages of this home is how easy it is to reach from the bridges. We love Cape Cod, but traffic to the Upper and Outer Cape can be unpredictable. Osterville offers the ideal solution—a quick, straightforward drive over the Bourne or Sagamore bridges, without sacrificing the charm and relaxed pace people come to the Cape for. It’s quieter and less crowded than the larger resort towns, with warmer bay beaches and a welcoming village atmosphere.

Osterville also makes a great home base for exploring—whether you’re heading to nearby Falmouth, Hyannis, or farther down the Cape—without committing to long drives every day. The dining scene is excellent, ranging from classic seafood and casual favorites to sushi and fine dining.

The home is set back from the street and surrounded by native trees and rhododendrons, creating a private, peaceful setting. The mostly single-level layout is ideal for families and multigenerational groups, and the bedroom wing is separate from the living areas, allowing for quiet mornings or late nights without disruption.

Early risers can enjoy a peaceful sunrise walk toward the beach, then stop by Fancy’s Market for coffee on the way back—an easy, stress-free way to start the day.

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to nearby beaches
Private backyard and peaceful setting
Mostly single-level layout (excluding unfinished basement and laundry)
Beach parking pass included, providing access to 15+ Barnstable-area beaches and ponds
Fully equipped kitchen, ideal for cooking and entertaining
Easy access from the bridges and a convenient midpoint for exploring Upper and Outer Cape towns
