We had a large family gathering to celebrate my husband's BIG birthday with folks flying in from the west coast, most of them visiting the Cape for the first time. They, and we, could not have asked for a better experience. The house was lovely and so comfortable! Lots of room to spread out and be together in. We could have several cooks in the kitchens with no crowding and enjoyed the different areas for cocktails and dinner. Went for swims off the dock and ended the day in the jacuzzi. Heaven! And the host was very responsive and helpful.

Exceptional beach retreat in Osterville walking distance to town. Perfect for our family reunion with a large kitchen, plenty of places to gather and eat from formal to informal to outside on the patio with a view of the sunset. Access to the water meant no need to go to the town beach (though we did). Very charming family home with lots of character and plenty of places to both gather and play cards or retreat to read a book.

Classic Cape Compound

Our party consisted of 6 couples in town for a wedding at a nearby club. The property exceeded our expectations with plenty of room, activities and character. This property is in a perfect and private setting with beautiful sunsets and plenty of space to spend outdoors. Our group gravitated to the main house for meals and wandered down to the boat house for a cocktail for the evenings. The guests stayed busy by playing tennis, beach volleyball, billiards, using the hot tub and of course going down the slide! This is a precious home that has been well cared for and is a classic cape experience.

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Setting

This house is huge and beautiful. We arrived with 16 members over three generations of our family. The house and property were immaculate. The 16 of us were accommodated comfortably between the house and boathouse. The house is beautifully furnished. There are 2 large eating areas, the formal dining room, and a nice sized breakfast room off a large modern, fully equipped kitchen. A large laundry room also houses an extra refrigerator. Off the comfortable living room is a less formal sunroom, ideal for morning coffee and evening cocktails, overlooking the outdoor terrace and the sailboats in the bay. The whole house is suffused with light and the gentle breeze off the water giving the place a cool comfort on the warmest of days. Upstairs, all bedrooms look out on the water. A casual and inviting boathouse is perfect for sunset cocktails while the kids play on the dock and beach. And most memorable are those sunsets over the bay.

We stayed at this property for an extended family reunion trip, and it was perfect for our needs. The added space in the boathouse along with ample space in the main house was wonderful! The home was unique and exactly what I expected a generational home in the area to be. Our group loved all the personal family collages and unique touches throughout. The hosts were kind, informative, and easy to reach before and during our stay. Would absolutely stay here again!

Exceeded expectations. The pictures do not do this place justice....the property, the landscaping, the location, the house....really everything was exceptional. This does not feel like a sterile vacation rental, but rather a cherished family home. The well organized kitchen was stocked with everything you could imagine, the bedding was lovely, the beds comfortable, the host responsive & the patio table with seating for 10 overlooking the water couldn't have been a more lovely place to have dinner. This was the perfect place for our large family to gather. There was a snafu with the wifi that the host helped to resolve in a timely manner. We would love to come again!
