About this property

* Mins to Craigville Beach * Beach Pass!

“Take It Easy” ─ a peaceful spacious home for the perfect family vacation. Barnstable
Beach pass provided. Easily and comfortably accommodates 10 guests.

If you enjoy staying close to everything that Cape Cod has to offer while being tucked
away from the crowds, then Take It Easy is the place! Centrally located on the Mid-Cape just south of Route 28, this spacious home is close to several ocean beaches, shopping (Whole Foods, Starbucks, etc.), restaurants, mini golf, historic sites and more. Located on a quiet neighborhood cul-de-sac, overlooking a private pond that’s perfect for kayaking. In addition to the beach pass, we provide beach chairs, toys, and towels, plus two inflatable kayaks for two people each and life jackets.

Enjoy quiet, lazy days in the private back yard and ample places to lounge on the expansive and sunny deck, complete with a gas fire pit and patio heater for cool Cape evenings. Grill meals, play games in the yard (corn hole and badminton outdoor games provided), or simply relax on the many comfy outdoor couches and chairs. Rinse off after a day at the beach in the enclosed must-have outdoor shower. Morning coffee is best enjoyed in the front yard overlooking the pond and soaking up the sunshine while relaxing in the sitting area with table.

House offers ample parking and easy access to the house via the front entrance or garage.

With five spacious bedrooms and three full baths, “Take It Easy” offers plenty of space and privacy for everyone, as this home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests. Play board games or cards (provided) or read a book by the beautiful stone fireplace in the centrally located living room or get cozy and watch a movie after a long day at the beach. There is also a second living room off the kitchen, complete with TV. Both these living areas open to the back deck via sliding doors.

On the first level is the master bedroom with a king bed, private bath and TV. Another full bath is located on the first level, along with two additional bedrooms (one with a queen and one with a full bed as well as TVs). Upstairs offers two more bedrooms (one queen bed and the other bedroom has three twin beds). The spacious upstairs bedrooms are perfect for kids to play and sleep. These bedrooms share a full bathroom, and both include TVs.

The spacious and well-equipped kitchen offers plenty of room to prepare meals. There’s room to dine at the kitchen table, or for larger gatherings in the adjacent dining room, which opens to the back deck via sliding doors. The fully appointed kitchen provides everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals during your stay, including a new stainless-steel refrigerator, complete with in-door ice maker and water dispenser,
dishwasher, oven, and four-burner gas cooktop. Also provided are a coffee maker, Keurig, air fryer, blender, waffle maker and popcorn maker.

With several ocean beaches nearby and a beach pass to all Barnstable beaches, ponds and boat ramps, guests will have plenty to do without having to travel far from the home. Bike or take a short three-minute drive south to sandy Craigville Beach or the private for-residents-only Covell’s Beach. Both beaches offer a bathhouse with showers. You will find snack shacks across the street from Craigville Beach and an ice cream and food truck at Covell’s Beach. A little farther away by car, but included with your beach pass, is Dowses Beach in Osterville, lined with beautiful dunes.

Walk or bike to quaint historic Centerville Village just minutes away and home of the award-winning Four Seas Ice Cream shop and the 1856 Country Store, known for its historic building, beautiful merchandise, soaps and penny candy selection. One of the best local libraries on the Cape is also nearby, adjacent to a historical museum, places of worship and several historic former sea captains’ homes … and all the charm that
staying in a real New England village has to offer. To the west, Cape Cod Package and Spirits Shop is a short five-minute walk, and nearby is Centerville Pie (one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, and the Bell Tower Mall with the 99 Restaurant, gas and gift shops.

Quaint downtown Osterville Village is a short drive away, offering unique eateries, bakeries and boutique shopping. You can enjoy delicious meals at Wimpy's Seafood Cafe, the Chart Room at Crosby’s for breathtaking waterfront dining and rustic wood-fired pizza and flatbreads at Crisp Restaurant. Treat yourself to gourmet coffee, sandwiches and baked goods from several local eateries. Also in Osterville Village are
Armstrong-Kelley Park for picnics, Fancy's Market for groceries and Gone Chocolate for quality ice cream. Alternately, go 10 minutes east to Hyannis for grocery shopping (Whole Foods, Star Market, etc.), a plethora of fantastic restaurants, bakeries, the marina, whale watching and live entertainment.

With all the surf, sand and tourist attractions nearby, "Take It Easy" is sure to please
your entire family or extended family.

Relaxing family vacation in a great house!
The house was amazing! Clean, spacious, included everything we needed. The location was close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Chris was extremely communicative and great to work with. Already planning to revisit again next year!

Perfect place for our annual reunion!
This house was perfect for a group of retired friends. It was very spacious with large bedrooms and lots of living space. There is great outdoor space as well. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood and nearby to anything we might have wanted. A visit to the Centerville Pie Company and Lambert's Rainbow Fruit are must stops if you find yourself in the area. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy meals in. We struggled a bit one night with one of the streaming services but a quick call to Chris set us straight. He was very helpful and a pleasure to speak with. 😀 We all agreed we had an excellent stay and will definitely consider returning.

Old/Dated, musty, black ants, exterior unsafe
This home was nice and large, the kitchen is old/dated it could have been better appointed, overall it functioned. The bathrooms were clean and functional however also very dated. Wallpaper in the bathroom was lifting, some floor tiles in master were cracked and the floor of shower and bath were very slippery, enough that a sign was left to “hold on”. The master bedroom and bathroom smelt VERY MUSTY whenever the door was kept closed or air was turned down. There was a 6 plug outlet in the back of the master bed without a plate exposing wiring. Black Carpenter ants were found throughout the house including the upstairs bedrooms with several found in the master bathroom daily. Evidence of dead ants were found in the living areas as well. The home advertised an outdoor grill and shower. Neither could be used, the grill was found dirty and rusted and the shower was in a rotting wooden enclosure which included one of the air conditioning condensers. The deck to the home while large and looks fine in the photos was in some need of repair. The railing gaps were not safe for small children. A pretty bad smell existed outside (although not consistently) we reported it to the property management however they didn’t know the cause. Due to the dampness in this home the beach chairs were rusted and showed signs of mildew. Exterior lighting needs improvement for safety reasons. The home did not meet our expectations of its listing.

Suggestions
The property was lovely and spacious, easily accommodating 5 women. We would suggest that info book be expanded to include instructions for turning furnace on (our first night everyone was very cold), list light switch configuration so guests don’t have to search, improve kitchen lighting brightness, and adjust showerheads so they remain in place. We DID enjoy ourselves and the above are our suggestions to enhance the experience. Thank you, Deborah
