Most Beautiful Home in the Area

We felt so lucky to find this beautiful home. It was our home away from home for a week. We didn't want to leave when it was time to go. Ron was more than accommodating. The house was comfortable, spotless, and had everything you could wish for. We spent many nights around the large dining room table reviewing the day's adventures. All bedrooms are upstairs and the beds are quite comfortable. If some were early to rise they could shower downstairs and watch TV until others woke up. The laundry is in the basement. We got our workout with two sets of stairs, but over all we loved it and would return again. The neighborhood is very nice and the location very safe. We were close to Plymouth and close to the Cape. The beach a short walk away. Thanks Ron for renting your Dream home to us.

Owner was easy to work with and offered numerous suggestions on how to make stay more enjoyable. House was perfect for family gathering staying there and entertaining family from local area. House offered all the amenities that could possible be needed with plenty of room both inside and out. Used grill on deck several times as weather was warmer than normal for this time of year. Even the beach was used several times to great joy of my grandaughter. Proximity to area points of interest, Boston to Cape Cod, including numerous restaurants was excellent. It was great to have the owner check in several times during our stay to be sure all was in order and if there were any problems. Next vacation in area would definitely take advantage of this great vacation house. Thanks Ron.

We spent a lovely 2 weeks in this extremely comfortable house which was really home from home with everything that you could possibly need provided. The house is in a very good location eg great beach at the end of the road, supermarket 10 mins away, Cape Cod on your doorstep. We had some fantastic days out - whale watching fromm Plymouth, a cycle road along the Shining Path Cycleway near Falmouth, Battleship Cove at Fall River, Martha's Vineyard to name but a few. Boston would also be possible for a day trip although we had already spent time there before we arrived at the house so didn't bother doing the trip during our 2 week stay at the house.

This home was perfect for my husband and I and our 4 teenagers. Very well equipped with two full baths, 3 bedrooms. We cooked in most nights and had everything we needed. The house is centrally located all the major attractions are a short drive away. We enjoyed Boston, Martha's Vineyard, Plymouth, and whale watching. Most of all, we enjoyed the beautiful quiet beach which is just a short walk down the street. The homeowner was very knowledgable in helping us decide what to do for entertainment.

My husband and I rented Ron's wonderful home for four months while he had a teaching contract nearby. The house had everything we needed for our stay and we particularly enjoyed the proximity to Boston and Cape Cod. Although we were there in the winter months we walked the beaches in the area every day. Thanks to the owner, Ron McGann, for making our stay in the US so much fun and so easy.

I have just come back home from a fantastic week in this house. The owner was very helpful, even after a mix up with times, he has a great knowlegde of places for you to visit. The house has everything that you need, just turn up with some food and thats it, so easy. There was plenty of room for my two teenage boys and myself. A beach at the end of the road, which was good for walking, seal watching, and meeting the locals on their walks or for just beating the boys at playing football. Not to far for a visit to the Plimoth Plantation, Whale watching, or even to Battleship cove, all highly recommended for a visit. There is a pizza shop (Cappy's Pizza) just down the road by the shops that makes great pizza's to take way, if you are not in the mood to cook. Plymouth Bay Winery is another place to visit for some great wines, (not the normal house hold names) i would recommend the cranberry bay, but ha, try it for yourselve. I would recommend this house to anyone, it was as it was described, and has lived up to all the reviews and more.

We stayed in Plymouth for a week in August, and loved this house! We come back every year, and this is by far the best place we have stayed. It has so much room, and was a quiet haven during the four days it rained. The house is well equipped, clean, and has a great deal of space along with all the amenities you could want. You need nothing but your clothes! It is close to everything - just a short ride into town - and is in a quiet, quaint neighborhood. The best part of our stay was our nightly walks down to the beach, watching the sun set, the full moon glowing off the water, or watching the surf pound against the shore during the storm. I would highly recommend this house to anyone wishing to visit Plymouth. The owner was very helpful, and even allowed us to stay an extra night.

We stayed here for two weeks in August 2010 and were very impressed with the property.There was ample room for our party of six and the fixtures and fittings are all excellent.Central air was a real asset and the large deck and garden made it easy to take advantage of the sun and enjoy are meals and entertaing from the BBQ. Just five minutes walk down a quiet road takes you to a lovely sandy beach, which even in the summer is not crowded. The owner is helpful and always available. He was also very easy to deal with. I would recommend this property without hesitation, it lived up to everything in the description and other reviews.

This vacation house can be recommended to all. It has a nice location, has everything you need (dishwasher, whirlpool,..) and it is in great condition. We spent a week in the house and I must say that we certainly enjoyed our stay. Boston, Newport and Cape Cod are well within reach. Overall, a great base from which to explore Massachusetts.

It was our first time in Massachussets and we are sure we chose the best place to spend two weeks of holiday! We could visit Boston (only on hour away), Falmouth, Hyannis, Provinectown, etc. If we preferred a more relaxing day, the beach was at the end of the street and have dinner outside on the deck. The owner checked us in , and then came by a couple of times to see if everything was all right. He was really helpful. The house was equipped with everything a family needs ,so clean and new, we just felt at home.Lovely atmosphere all around, we really enjoyed it and we will recommend it to our friends!

The week we spent in this house was really great. We had enought place for 4 adults and 4 kids, the 2 complete bathrooms were appreciated, everything we need were there and even more. We felt like home and everyone we met were pleasant. The beach is one of the most beautiful we saw in Cape Cod. This place feels like home. I think that you cannot find a house to rent for a better deal. I recommande this house without a doubt.

What a perfect home to spend a vacation by the sea! After 20 years of cramped, noisy motel rooms, we rented this gem of a house. It is perfectly set up for our extended family; we brought our daughter & husband and their two young children. The downstairs is open and airy and the entire house is spotlessly clean and completely furnished with anything you might need during your stay. The owner checked us in and then checked back during the week just to see if we had any questions or concerns. We settled in immediately and made our way to the beach for lovely evening walks or a daytime of sand and sun. I honestly can't think of one thing we needed that wasn't already provided with the house. It was such a different vacation experience for us to make our own meals when we wanted to, do a load of laundry if we had the need and just stretch out and relax when we all got in in the evening. My only complaint was that the week flew by much too fast! I would gladly recommend this home to anyone!!!

Ideal Spot for a Family Christmas Gathering

We spent a lovely Christmas here in 2008. There was lots of room for the six of us who stayed here. On Christmas day six more joined us for dinner, and there was still lots of room! The house is on a quiet street, but is also located conveniently close to grocery stores. It is also relatively easy to catch a train to Boston, which a couple of us did one day. The beach is only a five minute stroll away, and we went for some pleasant walks there. The house was certainly well equipped. We appreciated the wireless internet. We were delayed by a snowstorm, but the owner was quite understanding. He dropped by during the week to make sure everything was fine. We definitely recommend this property and hope to return.

Your beautiful home was the perfect place for getting together with another couple to see the fall color and take in some sightseeing. We didn't have to look far--the yard had some gorgeous trees and the drives were fantastic. The house was beautifully and comfortably furnished! The kitchen was well equipped. Nothing was missing. Building fires almost every night was a perfect ending to some great days. Kay & Dennis October 2008

Our family of four (me, my husband and girls ages 5 and 7) absolutely loved this home during our stay this August. It was meticulously clean, bright and spacious and had everything you could possibly need. The private beach was only a 10-15 minute walk down the street, but you could choose to drive and drop off/pick up if necessary. We were very close to the quaint town of Plymouth and only one hour from Boston. I would highly recommend this home. Owner was gracious and helpful.

This was the nicest and cleanest house we have ever rented. We really enjoyed the short walk to the beach and it was a great place to walk every day. The owner provided really good service and I would recommend this property to friends. The house was well stocked with paper goods, some food, etc. so we didn't have to buy every little thing. There is alot of good restaurants close by.

6 adults stayed very comfortable in this home. It was just as the description listed. We were close to attractions in Boston, the Cape and of course right in Plymouth. We were also close to ride the transit into Boston so we did not have to drive. The home was clean and very attractive and had everything we needed. We could walk to the beach. The owner was availble to us and provided good customer service. It would be a good place for families also. The bedrooms were upstairs -- which was not a problem for us. You do need a vehicle to get places you want to go. I would highly recommend this property.

The house was beautiful and very well equipped containing everything we needed. The house was ideally placed for sightseeing around Plymouth and see the wonderful history of early settlers. The nearby Plimouth Plantation was excellent for all the family. We decided to leave our car at the nearby station to travel to and from Boston which was a lot easier than driving. The owner was very welcoming and on hand to answer any questions we had. I would recommend this house to any other English travellers who want to see the history of the Early Americans - we all had a fantastic time.

We stayed with two adults and a baby of 1,5 years at this very comfortable and clean house. The house provided everything we needed. The beach is only 200 meters away. The location of the house couldn't be better! Near to Boston (one hour), Cape Cod (half an hour), Providence (one hour) and Newport (one hour). We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to anyone who will go to New England!
