Owners Share Why I Love My Home: Our family loves the large outdoor space - the deck, the outdoor shower and lawn games like bocce ball and corn hole (provided for guests to use, too!). There's so much to do and we are perfectly situated to enjoy it all - There is pizza & ice cream right down the hill, the bike trail is there, our daughter often grabs a kayak or paddle board and carries it down to Pleasant Lake. The water is closer than you think! We are equal distance to Oceanside and Bayside beaches - the best of all worlds!
Let Us Tell You About This Home: This spacious home is located on 1.5 acres close to Long Pond Beach and Hinckley's Pond, elevated and very private with peeks of Hinckley Pond.

There is a half bath which is convenient as there is a sleep sofa (with memory foam mattress) for extra guests. Step up to the wet bar and bright, sunny kitchen that also offers a breakfast nook that seats 4. At the far end of the home you will find another living room with a flat screen TV over the fireplace and dining area that seats 8-10.
Just beyond the open living area is the master suite with a King bed and en suite bath with tub and shower.
Head up the stairs to find a full bath with shower and 2 large rooms on either side offering a Queen and 2 twin beds in each room - sleeping for 8 is very comfortable in this home! Each bedroom has a dedicated desk/office area in case kids need to continue remote learning or Mom & Dad have a Zoom call for work!
There is a large yard for your enjoyment including a deck with outdoor seating, a gas grill and lawn games for the family to enjoy. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water is available to you - a great Cape Cod tradition when returning from the beach.

Make sure to visit Long Pond (Largest freshwater lake on Cape Cod!). There is a public area for beach access on the Brewster side just a half mile from the house - and another beach on Long Pond Road less than .8 mile for swimming, as well as a boat ramp- Kayak, Canoe or bring your boat for a fun day on the water!

This is our second time returning to this lovely home! We love the access to the bike path (just down the hill!) and access to local ponds for swimming and kayaking. House is beautifully decorated, clean, and kitchen so well equipped! Great home for families with young children. We would rent again in a heart beat!

Pleanty of room for 11 people.
We like to cook and there were pots, pans, utensils and everything else that we needed for every meal. Beach chairs and pails and umbrellas in the garage. Wonderful private back yard with a fire pit. Back trail to the CCRT country store
Best House we’ve stayed at for a long time.

Amazing spot!
We absolutely love the house! Not only did it accommodate the couple of us actually staying there, we were able to have a family cookout in the spacious back yard! It made for the perfect holiday getaway vacation! We highly recommend the house, location, everything!

Wonderful house. Very spacious and private. Great yard.
Loved the house and the property. Wasn't a fan of NE vacation rentals terms. Felt like Saturday was waste as check in was at 3pm at a sight that was 10-15 min from property ... so by time you arrived at property it was almost 4. Lack of linens / charge if you wanted them was not great. Amount of cleaning expected from departing party also seemed excessive considering there was a cleaning service. Overall, loved the house but wasn't a fan of the rental policies.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
We are so glad you enjoyed this home at 4 Long Pond. We are sorry about how you feel about our policies. These polices are stated right from the beginning of the reservation process. We say that Cape Cod is a little different in that with a very short summer rental season turn over days have to be on Saturday. Also that with the short turn around time Linens were not included but you can choose to bring your own or rent them with a linen company affiliate. We try to offer solutions to how Cape Rentals are handled.
Our departure guidelines do not require cleaning but rather simple tasks such as taking the trash out and your personal items with you. That helps the cleaners do their job in getting the home clean.
Most guests are happy to come to our offices for check in and meet us and receive our check in gift. We have many repeat guests for many years.
We hope to assist you again. Best, New England Vacation Rentals
