I’ve stayed in several VRBOs and this was by far the cleanest! The house overall is really good sized, but some areas/rooms were a bit cramped just given the age of the house and/or furniture. This house really felt like someone’s home and not just a rental, and we really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again if needed.

Very clean. Great location for getting around, easy drives to most areas of Cape Cod though we did not go further than Chatham to the east and barnstable to the west. Convenient to essential shopping such as grocery and gas stations.

Great option on the Cape!

We had a great time at this rental. It had everything we needed and more. Plenty of space. Groceries, gas, and restaurants nearby. It's not modern, but it checks the boxes.

Great location for our golf weekend!

Our group of life-long friends spent a long weekend on the Cape in this perfectly located house. Everything you could wish for in a rental, including plenty of beds, 3 full bathrooms and a nice deck with a modern grill. Owner is very nice and communicates all the details. We’ve rented this same house for three years now, look forward to booking again next spring!

Location was excellent. House was clean but there was a slight problem with ants. We did find ant spray & used that. We also bought ant traps & put them in the kitchen & bathrooms. That did clear up the problem. Also, I have never stayed at a VRBO where you actually had to put sheets on the beds yourself. The selection of sheets were well used. Pillows were not the best so bring your own pillows from home. Other than that, the beds were comfortable..the home was inviting & well stocked. We had a great time and there were lots of things to do on the Cape & in the immediate area. Great seafood, excellent restaurants & right after Labor day the traffic is tolerable. Our host was exceptional…friendly, helpful & very easy to deal with. Thank you, Alison Clark for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Alison Clark

Host profile image
Alison is a recently retired teacher while John is retired from Ciba-Geigy and from instructing the Dale Carnegie Course. They make their primary home in New Jersey, close to 15 grandchildren. Alison summered on Cape Cod from the mid-1950's when her Grandparents retired to the Cape from the Berkshires to escape mountain snows. The house is Alison and John's second home when others are not there to enjoy it and they keep it immaculate and updated. Their caretaker and grounds keeper lives right down the street and is always available when needed.

Why they chose this property

The original property was a single lot and the original small cape cod home was built by a local contractor for my grandparents when they retired. The original home passed down to the next generation, and my father decided to expand and update the home to fulfill the dreams so often spoken of by the women of the family. Today it is a lovely airy home, fully updated, environmentally sound, new furnace, new windows, and a second piece of property to keep and expand the feeling of the original wooded property.

What makes this property unique

The minute you walk in the door, you feel the tensions of life fall away. The large windowed family room just welcomes you in, and soon you find it is the center of your time in the house. It leads you to the deck where we love to share our meals outdoors, or sit quietly to read a great book. The kitchen is wonderfully spacious for cooking. Step out the door and you are only minutes from every possible Cape Cod activity or restaurant due to the home's central location. Or just stay on the property and enjoy...there is lots available to do right there! Badminton, soccer, foosball, air hockey, board games. It truly is a Home Away From Home...... and you have the time to enjoy it!
