Cape Cod is a famous vacation destination. West Yarmouth in particular is full of history and activity. No matter the size or make up of your vacationing party, you'll find it all within a 35 minute drive. For those who want physical activity, there is hiking, horseback riding or bicycle riding along bike trails that meander throughout Cape Cod, weaving on and off of the coast line, or simply travel a spectacular section - The National Seashore Bike Paths.
Some of the area's finest golf courses are only minutes away - Bayberry Hills, Cranberry Valley, The Captain's Golf Course, Ocean Edge, King's Way (Executive course - par 59), The Highland Golf Links (9 hole course - first golf course built on Cape Cod in 1892 and is right next to the Highland Lighthouse & Museum). Many fancy miniature golf courses are also within a 10 minute drive, including Pirate's Cove.
The ocean brings with it lots of water sports such as sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, parasailing, jet skiing, water biking, deep sea fishing; and of course there is swimming at any of the beaches on the Cape including Colonial Acres, 100 ft from the house or try some the others nearby such as Sea Gull Beach or Englewood Beach.
For a more relaxing time, check out the shops and galleries in the artsy community of Provincetown, or visit museums of many varieties (JFK in Hyannis, historic, nature, fine arts, children's, maritime, railroad, fire, classic cars). You can do some bird watching or spend some time in the local playhouses and cinemas or even go on a whale watch. Want to see how the pilgrims lived? About a one hour drive away is Plimoth Plantation where the community acts, dresses, and talks like they did in the 17th century. Closer to home is Heritage Plantation which has automobile, carousel and military museums, and a windmill all surrounded by acres of flower gardens.
Of course you don't want to miss Nantucket (rent a jeep and drive the seashore) and Martha's Vineyard (see where all those famous people live) while you are in the area. For a true walk through history, sporting events and some of the finest restaurants in the country, Boston is 79 miles and about a 90 minute drive away.
This cozy, three-bedroom/two-bath home is a charming example of a New England shake-shingled house with all the modern conveniences. It's 100 feet from the beach, and offers views of the Atlantic Ocean and Lewis Bay. You'll enjoy watching the activity in the bay -- windsurfers, sailboat races, and ferries traveling to/from Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
The home features an open floor plan, where a bank of glass sliders provides views of Lewis Bay and all its vibrant activities. There is a living room with a fireplace, vaulted ceiling with ceiling fans, and loft. There is a dining area and pass through kitchen eating counter along with laundry on the first floor. The kitchen is well equipped with refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, stove/oven, coffee maker and coffee grinder, blender, mixer, toaster oven, electric can opener, a spice collection, and a wide assortment of cooking utensils and gadgetry should you decide to eat in.
The main living area includes a large HD TV with Blu Ray DVD, and a video collection. There is also a stereo with radio, CD player and a CD collection. Upstairs has an open loft area with a game table. Games include puzzles, assorted card games, checkers, Uno, Sorry, Monopoly, Yahtzee and others.
The master bedroom with queen bed has it's own fireplace and views of Lewis Bay with a flat screen TV, DVD player, and sliders that open for fresh salt air and summer breeze that you will remember long after you return home.
The second bedroom downstairs has a set of twin beds with a flat screen TV and DVD player. The 3rd bedroom upstairs has a set of twin beds, sitting area with wet bar and view of the ocean to round out the sleeping arrangements you'll find in our home. This bedroom also has a flat screen TV, DVD player and XBox, with games included. All bedrooms have alarms, radios, and bed side lights.
An expansive ocean side deck and almost entirely enclosed yard allow for summertime family fun cooking out and playing games on the lawn. Sand chairs for the beach are also provided.
You'll excite all your senses with the beautiful views and the great sea and salt air. As you take it all in, you may discover that this is the real fountain of youth!
Enjoy relaxing on the deck while sipping a glass of wine with your New England clam chowder, as the day winds down and the winds pick up. Take in all the mystical New England landscape!
And in the evening, why not prepare that perfect seafood meal in our fully-equipped kitchen -- complete with a lobster pot and coffee grinder!
Meticulous attention to decorating details gives this home a wonderful combination of historic Cape Cod charm and modern comfort. You'll feel like your own home has moved surfside!
What more could you ask for? Come on in. The water is fine!

When our sons football camp was moved to our already arranged vacation week, we had to scramble to find another vacation home in Cape Cod. Well, thank you Coach Cane! Because Upwind was a major upgrade from the place we had planned on. Luckily the onl open week they had left worked out perfect for us First the location is very centrally located to everything and the house is right off the beach. Goggle Earth the address and you will see what a stellar location you will be renting. Beautiful views and a 200-250 yard beach that only the local neighbourhood seems to be aware of. The house is much more spacious than the square footage indicates as everything is extremely well planned out. Brian and Gail have not just done major updates like the kitchen and the decks, they have dozens of high quality extras for you to enjoy ranging from the outside shower to full video libraries to brand new washer / dryer to a basket filled with local brochures and restaurants menus to detailed instruction on how to operate the TVs and cable. Everything you need they have provided in multiples - bench chairs, towels (closet full), outside deck seating, loads of comfortable seating though the house and even a wide array of toilettes for your use. With 3 teenagers who are all about Ipods and Smart Phones, the blazing fast wireless internet was terrific. Our hosts were outstanding as they sent us maps of the area, brochures of activities I had mentioned we were interested in (fishing, shopping) and several guide books before we arrived. They treated us like family friends not renters. Will we return in 2012? Heck, I would like to buy the place and live there Chris, Patty and boys.
Owner response:Many of our guests make these same comments to us, but do not take the time to submit on line. Thanks to Chris and family for doing so and glad you had a great stay at our home. You are welcome back anytime. We welcome nice families like yours!

I stayed here with my parents, brother and partner, my husband, and our two small children. We had a wonderful week in a wonderful home. It is perfect for families with and without children. It is very comfortable with every convenience you can imagine - best of all - it's close proximity to a very calm beach is perfect for small children along with a bridge for crabbing. The outdoor shower is a special treat. If you seek waves, sea gull beach is only a few miles away. The owners are charming and helpful and near if you need anything.

What an experience!! I must say that this home had the best location in West Yarmouth! Perfect for kids (ours are ages 10, 7, and 4). We were sitting on the top deck enjoying the ocean view, and we had 3 people tell us that the house was the best on the beach! Thanks again for letting us use your wonderful beach house for our vacation! You can't get any closer to the ocean unless you are actually in it! Sixty seconds from shopping and plenty of places to eat! Wonderful owners! It can't get any better. Thanks again!!

Great Place For Little Kids Too

We just got back from another week at the house. We had stayed there last year as well and had a lot of fun both times. As others have mentioned, the house is fully equipped so you really just need to bring your clothes. We have 2 little kids (ages 2.5 and 6mo) and the house had all of the essentials and then some for them. It was very nice to not have to pack a high chair, booster seat, sand toys, water floats, umbrella, umbrella stroller, plastic cups/bowls/plates, etc. The house has baby gates on the stairs as well. The water is close enough that it's easy to walk there with kids and stuff, but not so close as you worry about them making a quick run for the water when you turn your back. The location is very convenient for Hyannis, stores, restaurants, and the Zooquarium which the kids loved. We would definitely stay there again!

The Upwind in West Yarmouth

Review Submitted: 08/11/09
I rented this place because I wanted to have a view of the ocean and also be centrally located. The house was very nice, fully equipped and accommodated me, my husband and our 3 older children (19-24) and 2 friends very comfortably. It has the best outdoor shower which we used all the time. The landlords were very nice and left us a cute gift basket when we arrived. It was great to have the beach right at our doorsteps and the house was a great location for a short drive to many of the Cape beaches and shopping.

My family had the most wonderful vacation at Four Winds on the Cape. The house was perfectly situated. We walked over to the sand every morning with our coffee, watched the sailboats and the fishermen. A perfect way to start the day. We ended each day on the upstairs balcony, watching the sun set. We will definitely be back.

The cottage was wonderful. I especially enjoyed the view from the balcony. The kids enjoyed the loft and spiral staircase. My husband enjoyed the feel of total relaxation. All the amenities made it so comfortable that we didn't want to leave! We had an amazing vacation staying at Upwind. It's been our best rental cottage to date and hope to return next year!

Stayed at Upwind from 7/7-7/14. The house is great, has a lot of nice extras for use (movies, music, beach chairs etc.) The location is wonderful. We were fortunate to catch a beautiful fireworks display over Lewis Bay from the upper balcony of the house. Th beach was clean, the water warm and the fish were biting. A great vacation for our family!

We took a girl trip to the Cape and were lucky enough to find this treasure of an ocean home. The home is immaculate and charming but equally as important is dealing with Brian and Gail. They are so accomodating and helpful, I feel as though I have made new friends. As landlords, they were prompt with contracts and returned securtiy deposits, and made sure that our every need was met. I will return next year for two weeks, hopefully :)

What a wonderful stay we had at Upwinds in West Yarmouth. We felt very "at home" because of all the accomadations the Quinn's provide. Our children ages 6 and 3 thoroughly enjoyed the crabbing and shelling right in Lewis Bay. We loved the views from the deck and balcony and the assessibility to all the family attractions on Route 28. From bumper boats and Go Carts to ice-cream and shopping, we did it all! These memories will certainly last a life time!
