About this property
A comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to EVERYTHING Cape Cod.
Charming location just across the road from Baker's Pond. The house is spacious with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and central air. The comforts of home include cable TV in living room, Wi-Fi, main floor washer and dryer. The kitchen has it all: dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and of course, a lobster pot. You will love the openness between the breakfast room and kitchen.
You are also welcome to use the garage and any barbecue and recreation equipment you find.
The location is ideal...a short 5-min walk to the tucked-away, sandy beach on Baker's Pond. You can swim, kayak, canoe or fish. This pond is stocked with trout and small-mouth bass.
Explore the 'Ancient Way'--back roads into Nickerson State Park. Great for a WALKING adventure. It's accessible about 2 blocks/10-min walk up the road Directions to the 'Ancient Way' is in our guest book.
There are big waves at Nauset Beach, a 10-min drive, where you can swim, boogie board or just walk the long expanse of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Skaket Beach, on Cape Cod Bay, is only a 5-min drive away. The water is warmer than Nauset and at low tide you can walk out for almost a mile.
Rock Harbor(free parking) is just a little past Skaket Beach. Arrange a fishing trip on one of the many charter boats or just watch them bring in their catch. Rock Harbor is another good spot to walk out "on the flats" at low tide. Really fun for kids! And don't miss the sunset on Cape Cod Bay-WOW!
This is a lovely house, always meant to be enjoyed, in a perfect Cape Cod location.

About the host
Hosted by Carol and Guy Ritzman
My parents, who loved the Cape, built this home in 1978 after my father retired from the Milwaukee Police Department. We have decided to keep the property in the family as a getaway place for us and to allow others to enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod as well.
