Wonderful Stay in a Quintessential Cape Cod Neighborhood
My husband and I are expecting our second baby, so we decided to treat ourselves to a bit of an upscale family vacation here with our toddler (or as upscale as one can get with a toddler :)). This home was absolutely wonderful. It really was like a home away from home. From the cleanliness of the house, the impeccable yard and landscaping, and the small details like all the towels, napkins, etc wrapped in bows upon arrival (so lovely), to the coziest amenities-the upstairs loft complete with games and children’s books, the large television downstairs, fully stocked kitchen if you want to make a big meal, gas fire for quiet evenings on the deck, and ambient living room for lounging during our little one’s nap time. There was even a crib for our little which was so convenient. The mattresses were super comfy (I’m so picky now I’m pregnant again), and even the extras like the soapbox sea mineral soap, body wash etc. was heavenly. We also loved that the home has central air, and is located in a quiet neighborhood abutting conservation land, complete with a beautiful yard and ample hydrangeas. The perfect stay for couples or families alike. We hope to be back again for our next Cape Cod vacation!
