Bayview Getaway is well located for exploring the Cape by car and is also within walking distance of Hyannis Main Street, the harbour, bus depot and train station. Bayview is a "home from home". A spotlessly clean and well maintained property boasting comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, TV, DVD player, etc. In addition, the owner provides beach chairs, towels, buckets and spades - everything you need for a day on the beach. We have stayed at Bayview four times and each time we visit we immediately feel at home when we open the door. Any concerns that we had were rectified quickly and efficiently and we have nothing but praise for the owners. There are many eateries nearby, 'Persy's Place' or the 'Egg and I' in Main Street for breakfast. We highly recommend 'Columbo's' for morning coffee and pastries (very naughty, high in calories but worth it!), their Italian dinner menu gives you an excuse for going back! 'Tugboats' has great views over the harbour - a good place to sit and watch the sunset while eating dinner. We highly recommend this vacation home for its comfort and location. We love the house, we love the area and we will certainly be back.

Owner response:Dear Patsy and Steve, Thank you for being our guests all these years, it's always such a pleasure to welcome you at Bayview Getaway. We look forward to your return in 2013! Best, Julia and Chuck.

Born and raised in the Northeast now living in the Deep South - I was returning to my roots and summers spent at the Cape. Bayview Getaway was just as it was advertised to be ! We had three generations with us in our family - plus our beloved pooch - Sam .... we all LOVED the cottage - small, quaint, comfortable, CLEAN, and full of subtle ammenities - Julia even replaced a bike pump because the previous week's renters reported it - Our 80 year-old Mom loved having her morning coffee on the patio for morning sun ... my 25 year-old daughter, Sam and I loved the walks down the street to the small beach, watching the morning ferries leave- Now home, I really miss the morning "ferry horn" that greeted us in the mornng ! I have to say that I was also comforted with the Hyannis Hospital a walk down the street from the cottage - especially traveling with an elder....You are within walking distance of all the Hyannis shops - found a great, little shop for oil prints of the Cape - "Poor Man's Art Shop" - and SOHO - for blown glass collectibles and other crafty, island treasures. Down the road on Rte. 28 towards Yarmouth - GREAT T-shirt/Sweatshirt Shop at discount prices - many styles were what was offerred on the Vineyard and elsewhere for so much more !!! Best activity on the Cape? - Drive to Provincetown and take the "Whale Watch Tour" - they know exactly where the humpback whales feed and we saw a tremendous number of them feeding and playing - I hope the pictures do them justice !! Best dining experience was at the Yarmouth House also on Rte. 28 - they offerred a wonderful "Sunset Dinner" from 3:00 - 6:00 with many items but we all loved the Stuffed Lobster for $26.95 - a big savings from what most of the restaurants were charging - and a 1.5 lb lobster stuffed with a shrimp/scallop stuffing - ummmmmm wish I had another .......and the atmosphere was very, well-lit and aesthetically pleasing. It was great being so convenient to the ferry to go to the Vineyard or Nantucket - definetely recommend the high-speed ferry unless you are taking your car. As for beaches - WOW All-in-all we couldn't have asked for a better "getaway" and I want to thank the Kaporova's for their genuine, and pleasing hospitality !! You MUST consider this property - especially if you are traveling with an elder or one who has mobility issues - you are so close to everything that you would want to do on the Cape - it made it very enjoyablle for our Mom as well ! Thank you Kasporova's

Owner response:Thank you again for choosing Bayview Getaway for such an important multigenerational celebratory trip. We are very glad you enjoyed your time back in Northeast, especially on the Cape!

We (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 boys aged 12 and 4 and a livley dog) had a wonderful holiday at Bayview Getaway where everything we could want was provided for us. Thed location is great, end of a quiet cul-d-sac but close enough to walk to the beach. The house was so clean and well maintained and the listing and photos showed exactly what is there. This was one of the most comfortable holiday homes we have ever stayed in. The kitchen is superbly equipped and the washing machine and drier were a real bonus. Making a booking from England was made easy by Julia's (owner) prompt e-mail responses and she answered all questions fully and honestly. We loved exploring Hyannis but ventured further afield also to Providencetown, Plimouth Plantation, Nantucket and the great beach at Sandy Neck was a favourite with us all. Jet the dog loved being able to be with us and we are so grateful to house owners who allow this. We can wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone, young or old, and hope we can visit again in the not too distant future. Thank you so much Julia.

Owner response:Dear Heather, It's been a pleasure welcoming you as our guests and hope to see you all, including Jet :), again in the future. Julia.

Our stay the last week in August was wonderful. The house is cozy, well appointed and very clean. The bedrooms are large and so quiet and comfortable. The location is so convenient, within walking distance to Bayview beach, Hyannis, nice restaurants and ferrys to the islands, and, of course, being able to take our dog was a great plus. Julia and Chuck's extensive information was invaluable for traffic, restaurants, etc. We highly recommend a stay at Bayview getaway to anyone wishing to visit the Cape.

Our vacation at the Bayview Getaway was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more. The house fit our needs to a T and it's location was a plus. There was plenty of room for 5 of us and my daughter's golden retriever. The house was spotless when we arrived and the owners thought of all necessities. Our stay was the perfect vacation!!

We enjoyed exploring the Cape and found the location of your home to be a plus. We walked to the harbor, main street,etc and found it to be a great change of pace. We ate on the patio one evening even though the temps were cool and seat cushions damp from the frequent rain! We were pleasantly surprised with all the amenities available to us. The kitchen was well equipped. We appreciated the cleanliness of the house. Thank you.

Julia was really efficient at answering our emails before the holiday, she provided loads of useful information and made the booking and payment process very straightforward. The house was spacious, well equipped and in a good location and housed four adults and a child easily. The location was a great base for local beaches, shops and day trips. We went to Marthas Vineyard, Providence Zoo, Newport Rhode Island and Boston Aquarium, all of which we enjoyed. The highlight though was the whale watching trip from Barnstaple - what a great day, unlike anything we had ever done before. The Cape is beautiful, even in variable weather, the people are friendly (excellent service EVERYWHERE - so unlike the UK) and the drivers were unexpectedly much more courteous than in the UK. A great holiday in a lovely place.

Although we arrived in some trepidation on a bleak Saturday afternoon with nothing but a code for a lockbox in our hands, we really enjoyed our stay at Bayview Getaway. The location is very convenient for exploring the Cape, and only a short walk from Hyannis Main Street. The house is comfortable and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a family vacation; lots of nice little touches such as fast and free internet and providing cupboards fully stocked with condiments, tea, coffee, etc. Although we were early in the season (many things closed and those restaurants that were open definitely presenting an asymmetric market!), we appreciated the lack of crowds and the ability to cook at home. Julia was very professional throughout the whole transaction, including the booking process, receiving and acknowledging payment and in follow-up afterwards. Thoroughly and warmly recommended.

We immediately felt at home in Bayview with all our needs catered for and most importantly comfortable beds. It was a good home from home and an excellent location. Julia and Chuck have given so much thought to everything you could want in a vacation home. It was our eighth time on the Cape and it still has the lure of the unexplored yet the feeling of familiarity. We were fortunate to drive under mostly clear blue skies and through sun-dappled leafy lanes as the "Fall" was at its best. We also survived a night when it was blowing a "hoolie". We would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you Julia and Chuck for making our stay so enjoyable. Patsy and Steve

Our first trip to the Cape was amazing. We're big dog lovers and my parents wanted to include their Boston Terrier and I wanted to include my black lab in the fun. Julia's lovely cottage allowed us to do just that! We were able to walk to the pier in under 10 minutes for the Nantucket ferry. Convienent mid-cape location is perfect for people wanting to spend some time on the cape and some time off (in say Boston). The kitchen was wonderfully stocked. We had a great time and the convenience and comfort of the house was key to contributing to such an amazing vacation. Thanks!

Thanks Julia for making our "first trip" to the Cape a positive experience. The Bayview house was wonderful, which made our family time that much better. Especially having a pack-n-play and high chair avaiable for our one year old. I would definately recommend others this house in the future. Julia was only a phone call way. Thanks again.

We booked Bayview Getaway directly with the owners Julia and Chuck on the internet, as we were booking from the UK I was a little nervous but Julia made the process very easy and paying through Paypal ensured that our payment was secure. Prior to leaving England for the States we received a wealth of information from Julia about the house, the surrounding area, directions from the freeway and where to find local amenities. When we arrived at the house it exceeded our expectations it was well equipped spotlessly clean and well prepared for our arrival. Christopher and Rachel were particularly impressed by the free internet connection and made very good use of it. Bayview is a short stroll from the harbour, the beech and the centre of Hyannis. We arrived in Cape Cod after travelling for 12 days our intention was to spend our time relaxing on the beaches, however, there is so much to see and do in Cape Cod that we spent very little time on the beach. We went to Martha's Vineyard, whale watching, shopping and too many other things to list. It is well worth looking to see what is on at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis; we had a fantastic night out watching the Beach Boys in concert. We wish we had planned to stay longer in Cape Cod and will definitely be back to stay at Bayview Getaway in the not too distant future. Hilary, Chris, Christopher and Rachel.

As we were booking direct with owners for 3 generations, we were bound to be apprehensive. However, I can assure you that each one of us felt that this was an absolutely fabulous location for our vacation! The situation is so relaxing with the beach, town and ferries mere minutes away. There are so many facilities at Bayview Getaway to ensure that every detail can be attended to, and plenty of space for a large family group. Hard to pick out highlights as there were so many. However, the Bluefish at Tugboats is not to be missed and it's worth skipping lunch to do the Brazilian Grill! Hyannis is well placed to get about the Cape, and there's certainly plenty to see or plenty of good safe beaches to enjoy. Thanks Julia and Chuck for providing us with this opportunity to want to return!!!

We stayed at the Bayview Getaway from 9th August - 16th August 2008. We were a bit apprehensive booking a house over 3000 miles away direct with the owners as we have only ever booked houses abroad through agencies. We needn't have worried though. Bayview Getaway is very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach chairs, toys and umbrella. The location is ideal - only a few minutes walk to a beach, the ferries and Hyannis Main Street. Recommend Percy's Place for breakfast and Tugboats for dinner. This was our first visit to Cape Cod. We had a great time and will definitely be back sometime.

The home was very clean, comfortable and beautifully appointed. Having items supplied such as beach chairs and cooking items made packing so much easier! It truly was a home away from home!

We vacationed at the Bayview Getaway cottage from July 12th to July 19th of this year. We loved it! The house was gorgeous, very nicely decorated, and well maintained. The amenities were exceptional and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We especially enjoyed the short walk to the Bayview Beach (with a 5 and 3 year old), and our Boxer (Bode) enjoyed his walks in the nature area. We would highly recommend this rental property for a wonderful stay on the Cape!

The Getaway is very comfortable and being located near Hyannis is central to most areas of the Cape and Boston.

We stayed in this house for the entire month of October. We found the house to be clean, cozy and just a wonderful place for my four children and my chocolate labrador. We explored the Cape and islands AND Boston, easily from the location and truly felt when we turned down "our street" like we were coming home from our various excursions. Liked being near Hyannis center and the hospital. Found the home pleasant, with roomy bedrooms, and extremely accomodating. Hope to stay there again next year!Julia was lovely to work with throughout the process! Fall was a LOVELY time to be in New England!

Julia and Chuck, We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed staying at your lovely home. Great location, close to the beach but also nice being on a dead end street for the kids and our dog. We had near perfect weather the whole week and spent much of it at the beach. Our favorite is Corporation beach in Dennis. The kids swam, built sandcastles, and caught crabs while our dog ran the length of the beach, chasing birds, swimming in the surf and saying "hello" to the other dogs. Other highlights include Pirate's Cove mini-golf, Zooquarium, trip to P-town and Captain Parker's famous cam chowder. Thanks for helping make this vacation so memorable!

Dear Chuck and Julia, We absolutely loved your home. It was perfect for a week on the Cape. It was comfortable, spacious and stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated the beach supplies. The location is perfect for exploring the Cape. Recommendations: 1) Favorite beach - White Crest beach in Wellfleet - the best waves but beware of the dunes you need to climb down to get to the beach. 2) We also loved Nickerson Park with its freshwater ponds. The water is warm, it is a great place for younger kids to swim and play in the sand. 3) We enjoyed the seal cruise run by Captain Keith of the Rip Rider leaving from the Monomoy National Wildife Refuge in Chatham. 4) The kids (ages 10, 7 and 2) loved the Pirate's Cove for miniature golf, the go-carts in Harwichport and the trampolines in Yarmouth. 5) Our favorite clam shack was Captain Frosty's in Dennis. The ice cream floats are also great. Thank you so much for a great week!

This was great with 3 infants! The house is in a great location within walking distance of the beach and Hyannis Center. Another perk for us was the nice yard at the end of a dead end street.

Julia and Chuck, Thanks for everything - we wanted for nothing, you have truly considered every possible need a family might have. The location is spot-on; Bayview Street - best kept secret on the Cape! Made friends with Ruth across the road, a remarkable woman for her age. Our boys loved the bicycles - used daily. The shed had everything for the beach. Thank you *soooo* much for the wonderful holiday. We hope to return, but for now the green fields of Northern Ireland are calling us home.

Not only was it centrally located, but at the same time it was such a quiet area at the end of the street. The master suite on the first floor was especially nice and private for my father.

We ran the gamut on ages and all loved staying here. The location was excellent, the beaches (Bayview, Craigville, Douses, etc.), the restaurants, shops could not have been closer. You did a wonderful job stocking the house and meeting all of our needs! The kids really loved whale watching and the Pirate ship rides. My father had "old buddies" over and entertained on the deck; they all commented on what a great place. Many thanks and our compliments to you both!

We enjoyed 4th of July week here last year and returned again. The 4th of July parade in Hyannis is a real "small town America". Small homemade floats, marching bands, and firetrucks. Very high turnout with thousands enjoying the sights, sounds and free candy distributed to all the kids. Daily we enjoyed walking to Katie's on Main Street for our ice cream treats. Our best meal out was at Roadhouse Cafe which we found recommended in Rachel Ray's book. The Stop and Shop near Rt. 28 at Pancake Man is excellent with fresh produce and fish: must for the grill. Thank you again.

What a wonderful week we had! The weater was great despite one day of rain out of entire week. No complaints with that, though. Took the kids to the Zooquarium that day and they had a ball. Our days at the beach were so relaxing. Tugboats was our favorite place to eat and only a short stroll from the house. The house is immaculate and filled with all the conveniences of home. It was more than any of us expected!!! It was so nice to not have to pack our linens! The house is perfectly located to everything we enjoy doing at the Cape. Morning walks to the harbor were so enjoyable. It was fun to watch the boats come and go. Main St., Hyannis has a lot of neat shops to visit. We took a seal watch tour out of Chatham and saw many seals! Our 3 children loved playing mini-golf, visiting the arcades and driving the go-carts in Harwich (after full days at the beach, of course!! :) Thank you again for meeting all our needs!!!

Thank you for such a wonderful vacation home! It was very clean, fully equipped with all of the necessities, and you couldn't ask for a better location! Not only was it centrally located, but at the same time it was such a quiet area at the end of the street. The master suite on the first floor was especially nice and private for my father. The upstairs left plenty of room for ourselves and our two children. Our congratulations to you for thinking of everything!

Julia and Chuck, We enjoyed our vacation, the weather was great! The house was centrally located. During our stay we had many new experiences, including surfing in Wellfleet. The beaches were perfect and the ocean refreshing. Tugboats is a great restaurant to eat at and in walking distance. We spent many nights out on back porch enjoying the nice breeze. Nantucket and Chatham are great places to visit. The Hyannis Mets baseball games are also fun and inexpensive. We are fining it really hard to leave! Thank you for everything!

We've had a most fantastic weather imaginable!! Every morning except Wednesday dawned bright, breezy and sunny. Extraordinary whale watch on the Portuguese Princes out of P-town. The female whale "performed" for over 1/2 hour, turning flip after flip! We actually had to leave while she was still there. She was right off the side of the boat, we could see everything so close. House was great - need a couple of blankets (can't use heavy spreads), also a clothes line would be very helpful for the clothes that are not going into the dryer. Julia and Chuck were great answering questions. You really do a good job. *******note from the owners******** We have now added lightweight blankets (cotton matelasse type) for each bed in all 3 of our Cape vacation homes. The outdoor clothes line will be installed before 2008 season.

We spent a week at Bayview Cottage at the end of the shoulder season (just before the crowds). We loved the central location which allowed us to go in any direction without a lot of Pre-Planning. The home was well furnished. It was convenient and spacious for sleeping.
