Thanksgiving visit to Cape Cod
It was a lovely stay for my family we were just one street away from my sister. Only minor issue was we could only find one remote for the TV

Great stay- outstanding location
First time in the Cape, and the location was outstanding for seeing all the sites, but still having an extremely child-friendly (calm) beach and great restaurants and shops nearby. House is set up very well for 2 families. Cons- no dishwasher, upstairs bathroom shower is small and no tub, no air conditioning (plenty of fans and windows though). When sitting on the carpet, I got a faint whiff of dog and had pet hair stuck to my pants. Pros- in addition to above, house is extremely well stocked with books, games, outdoor/beach toys and chairs for the kids; has some basic cooking ingredients and spices; very nice that it wasn’t just a starter set of paper towels, TO, etc. The house had everything we needed. Hosts very responsive. Nearby Skaket Beach is fantastic for young children. We had a wonderful stay.

Nice house, great location
We booked this for two families plus my older father to celebrate his 80th birthday. It was large enough for us all to spend time together inside or have space outside to spread out. Not fancy, but everything was to a good standard. Outdoor shower is always nice to have. The main feature is location, a short walk to Skaket beach or the rail trail. House is on a quiet private street that feels secluded, but a very short drive to stores, restaurants and the Firebirds baseball field. Nauset Beach also close if you want an ocean side beach. We were happy with it and would stay there again

Family Fun
This was our second year at this house. Both times parents, grandparents and children were really able to relax and enjoy ourselves. The location is super convenient; easy walk to a great beach and short drive to the town and shopping. (The only thing missing is a dishwasher.)

Why they chose this property

Lisa's family had owned this home ever since it was built over thirty years ago. When her family decided it was time for them to sell, Dennis and Lisa jumped at the chance to purchase it to keep the house in the family. While both Dennis and Lisa still regularly enjoy time here with their little kids, they have also opened up their doors to renters so that they too can create cherished memories of family vacations on the Cape.
