Welcome to our home on Pleasant Street. For the past two years, we have been lovingly restoring this house with the help of friends and family, and we are excited that now we can share it with you. A 200 year old house full of character: with four serene bedrooms, a book lined living room, a cozy dining room and cheerful, fully equipped kitchen. A welcoming house full of antiques, artwork and some very cool surprises we discovered in our renovations that we’d love to show you!
Enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon wine under our wisteria shaded pergola.
This is the rare property that is truly in a walkable environment, ideally located in historic Sandwich Village where so many delights are within an easy stroll: one block over and you’re on Jarves Street, where you can enjoy cafes, stylish restaurants and delightful specialty shops. Head out in the other direction and within minutes you have arrived at the iconic Sandwich Boardwalk, which can take you straight to the beach - fun for all ages! Rainy days stay home and find yourself a cozy nook to read, make art, solve puzzles or watch a movie. Liam and Laurie have lived on the Cape for nearly forty years. We live on the property and are always available to answer any questions you have about the house, or offer helpful suggestions for special Cape Cod experiences,

This whole experience with Laurie and Liam was more than a typical rental experience. It started great before I even started my vacation! The communication was on point from the get go. They were extremely welcoming hosts and went above and beyond at every turn. I travelled to Cape Cod with my two young kids and left feeling like I had made new friends in Laurie and Liam. They are very warm and welcoming people with a lovely rental property. There is lots of beautiful history in their home. The house itself was very well stocked and there was AC to help cool us down on some hot nights. Washer and Dryer worked great as well. The location of the home is great. It resides on a quiet side street but you can easily walk to some great coffee and food spots. We brought our bikes which helped with a few places that might be a bit of a longer walk. The beach is also walkable and is a great beach to hang with kids. Cool bonus that Laurie also creates beautiful pottery and I was thrilled to be able to purchase and bring home a special keepsake from our trip. We hope to come back to see Laurie and Liam again soon!

Thank you Phoebe for your kind words. It was an absolute delight hosting you and your friends. We hope you come back soon. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Great weekend in Sandwich, thank you Liam and Laurie. House was great, felt like a home away from home, everything was as advertised, they were super helpful. Walked to what my kids called the best beach ever via the boardwalk (Town Beach).

Thank you Andrew. It was such a delight, hosting your family. We hope you come back soon!
Perfect location minuests to beaches, walkable to town absolutly what we were looking for in so many ways. Amazing antique home that the owners have carefully restored and as a side-note, could not be any nicer. Having spent decades on the Cape, their knowledge of the area is absolute and recommendations hit the mark, every time. Laurie and Liam, thank you again for allowing us to share your beautiful home! Cant wait to return again soon!
Tons of character, historic, renovated spot right in Sandwich village. Really cute! Feels like an artist's cottage. The location is perfect, two minute-walk to coffee shops, restaurants and bars in the village. Well-stocked kitchen. Host was very responsive. This was a great spot to rent for a weekend on the Cape.

Thank you, Emily! It was wonderful hosting you. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to seeing you again very soon! Best, Laurie and Liam.
The house was lovely and did not disappoint! Beds were comfortable, the house was clean as a whistle and the hosts were so easy throughout the entire process. I had a question during checkout on Sunday and Liam got back to me immediately which was greatly appreciated. The location was great and within walking distance to local shops and restaurants and an easy drive to other parts of the Cape. I would definitely come back!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you so much for choosing our home for your stay on the Cape. . We hope we can host you again very soon!
We are very pleased with our stay and very grateful to our hosts. They were most gracious and helpful. The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable, with piano, books and antiques... It was a fun and also ennobling experience for my teenage son and his friends to spend a weekend in this atmosphere. The hosts took time to talk to the boys about their experience at Cornell Uni and provide encouragement for the future. The location was convenient, close to the beaches and town attractions. We will definitely keep this in mind for our future vacations and recommend to friends. Best wishes. Olga

About the host
Hosted by Laurie Goldman and Liam Mahony
We have lived on in different towns on Cape Cod for nearly 40 years and we know its many hidden gems. Laurie is a potter, a former science writer and whale naturalist, and an avid rower. Liam is an international human rights consultant. We have raised two children here on the Cape and have long been involved in Cape Cod's theatrical, artistic, and scientific communities.
Why they chose this property
Sandwich village is beautiful, tranquil and fascinating. There is so much within a short walk: beach, boardwalk, libraries, coffee shops, lovely restaurants and shops, museums and even minigolf! We are lovingly restoring this classic 1815 house in a community that truly values its history and beauty.
What makes this property unique
We have one of the oldest houses in the neighborhood, and larger than most - with lots of room and a big shaded back yard. The house has gone through many incarnations over the centuries, and in our renovation we have tried to combine modern comfort with a real respect for that history. The property, and our experience fixing it up, were featured in a documentary, "If our walls could talk" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X46wANPSqdA) The location is excellent: you can easily enjoy a day in this neighborhood without a car.
