Tastefully furnished and maintained to the highest standard, this warm and welcoming home is the perfect vacation choice for the ultimate in comfort and convenience.
An expansive deck runs the full length of the back of the house and overlooks the fenced-in backyard, which is visited by a variety of birdlife. It’s the perfect spot to sunbath, leisurely read a book, take a nap, sip a cocktail, or host a barbeque.

If you are in need of a quiet retreat, take the stairs to the loft with its inviting sofa and private deck with even more spectacular views…on a clear day you can see all the way across Cape Cod Bay to the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown.
On the first floor you will find a fully-equipped updated kitchen, complete with dishwasher, refrigerator with ice-maker and ice water dispenser, gas stove, garbage disposal, trash compactor, and breakfast bar for six. The kitchen is adjacent to the well-appointed dining room, which comfortably seats 8-10 guests for formal evening dinners. A separate utility room with washer and dryer is a convenient spot to sort out sandy bathing suits and beach towels from a great day at the beach!
Also on the main floor, you will find the spacious master suite with a king-sized bed, fireplace, vaulted ceiling, beautiful stained-glass window, generous walk-in closet and striking ocean view through the sliding glass door that leads to the deck. A full bathroom, with jetted bathtub and steam shower adjoins the master suite. On the lower level are two additional bedrooms --one with queen bed and one with two twin beds. Both bedrooms feature ocean view and full private bath, and one has sliding doors to the patio/garden.
To complete this idyllic vacation home, the owners provide a complimentary Sandy Neck Beach parking sticker, 4 bicycles (with helmets and bike rack), tennis rackets, and men’s and women’s golf clubs for their guests to enjoy. Wi-Fi allows internet access throughout the property.

On arrival with another couple, the rental agents Debby & Rich, were very helpful in providing information about shopping, activities and dining opportunities in the area. Debbie then took us on a tour of the house, which was ideal for our week's vacation. Both couples had a private area with adjacent bath, and the living room, kitchen and dining areas were well appointed and comfortable. The deck had a view of the bay and the outermost Cape areas, and was an ideal setting for morning coffee/breakfast, daytime relaxation, and barbecuing & dining in the evening. Very good restaurants in the area (try Barnstable Tavern), and the Sandwich Glass Museum is well worth a 2 hour visit. The water view from the lower bedroom areas was blocked by the growth of brush and trees surrounding the yard, but was not a problem since we spent no time there during daylight hours. Beaches were just a few minutes drive from the house, and parking passes were provided. All in all, an excellent vacation rental.

"A beautiful house in a beautiful location. My family stayed this summer and had a lovely time. The house was very well equipped with everything you could need, with a great decking area to sit and take in the excellent views to cape cod bay. We were visited by hummingbirds and chipmunks!, Very clean and well maintained, with very friendly owners and helpful local agents. Nearby attractions well worth a visit are the whale watching from Barnstable harbour, the sunsets all along the coast and of course the great seafood and local restaurants. You need a car to get around to make the best of your stay. Highly recommended."

My husband and I stayed in this delightful home in September which was the perfect time to visit the Cape. The house met up to its description and especially has stunning views. Although not a traditional antique Cape house it has a spectacular living area and is beautifully furnished for easy living. The house is kept in immaculate order and was spotless throughout. Debbie and Rich, who manage the house for the owners, were a pleasure to deal with. Efficient and friendly and a source of fascinating information about the Cape and all its facilities. The only downside, which wasn't an issue for us, was that it was not close walking distance to the water but the owners supplied a beach sticker for our car. This meant that we could pop down with a picnic in a matter of moments.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.
