About Tom & Ali
We are Ali and Tom. We designed and built this house in our favorite area in the world. We are life-long hospitality professionals and currently own and operate the Lamb and Lion Inn, also in Barnstable Village, which has been rated the #1 mid-Cape Inn for 10 years running. Prior to the Cape we owned a AAA 4-Diamond, Relais & Chateaux property (located in the Hudson Valley, NY). Our love of hospitality is felt by our house guests with free self-guided driving tours, discount island and whale watch tickets and restaurant recommendation. Ali has spent many years in and around professional kitchens and Tom is an award-winning food writer--so we've "got your back" when it comes to dining (although you might just want to grill out on the waterfront deck!).
Tom & Ali purchased this House in 2001
Why Tom & Ali chose Barnstable
There are many house in this neighborhood that are very close to one another, but our house has LOTS of space on both sides, including a large side yard for spreading out!. The beach (which is our "front lawn") is steps away. The mid-Cape location cannot be beat, short walk to dining and shops, and great "extras"--like self-guided driving tours at your finger tips, and use of the Lamb and Lion Inn's salt-water, solar-heated pool and hot tub.
What makes this House unique
Directly on a pet-friendly, private beach. Use of heated salt-water pool nearby (summer months only). 3 cozy gas fireplace stoves and a heated master bedroom floor in the cooler months. Large playroom with ping pong, work-out equipment. Cozy library with lots of books. Water views in every room in the house (watch sunrises AND sunsets!). Walk to whale watch boat (and deeply discounted tickets).

Cape
Beautiful house in a fantastic location, the views are amazing.
A magical getaway (and our 6th Harborview vacation!)
This was a review submitted to us for us to post (thank you Diane, Leo and family!!).
"This was our 6th stay in this magnificent beachfront home. This house is extremely well maintained house--very clean and polished throughout. The beach is just outside the dining room sliders and is very family and pet friendly. The sand is soft and the breezes of the water come right through the house, which has lots of oversized windows and sliding doors for beautiful ocean cross breezes. The village, marina, restaurants, markets and whale watching is all a quick walk from the house. The house is quite big and with an open air floor plan but also feels intimate in every way. All the bedrooms are very spacious and feature comfortable sitting areas and private baths. Tom and Ali supply all their guests with free driving tours, discount ferry tickets and restaurant reservations so we are always discovering new places to go and new restaurants! We strongly encourage the reader to take the whale watch and also the 2 hour Eco-tour, both just up the road! See you next year!"
Spectacular views and exceptional property!
This was our 2nd trip to beautiful Barnstable harbor, and it was even better than the 1st. The weather was fabulous that week and being at this beautiful location was the icing on the cake. The views are stunning and if you are looking for the most relaxing place to spend your time, this is it! The house is located in the perfect spot: private beach, quiet neighborhood, and close enough to explore all that the Cape has to offer. The house itself is exceptional, with plenty of space for all, decorated beautifully, yet extremely comfortable. It has everything you would want, from a spacious, open kitchen, 2 large decks overlooking the water, outdoor shower, to a quiet reading nook. We have also been there during the off season, and it is still a restful and relaxing haven that you won't want to leave!
Perfection!
You couldn't find a more perfect location or a more comfortable home.
Truly the best place you will ever have a vacation
This property is even better than the owners description.
Down a quiet road-the sea a few steps away, safe enough for toddlers to play and grown ups to sunbathe.
Great porch to gently swing ,have a coffee in the early morning sun or a glass of wine at sunset,really great views all day.Comfy beds and lots of fluffy towels.The house is so nice it's hard to leave it to enjoy the great local restaurants and explore the locality.Very well equipped-
Tvs cable internet and magnificent kitchen.Great family
Playroom upstairs with ping pong table and tv/dvd.
Have visited as a couple,with friends and with family
All of our guests have been as happy here as we are.
Next year will be our fifth return and we have already booked our two weeks.We have never had any problems
But it's nice to know the owners are only a phone call away and are experienced Innkeepers.
What a wonderful shout out from our friends in Ireland!!! It's always wonderful knowing when the O'Neill's are in our home. They have been part of our "Harborview family" for several years now and always take great care of the joint. As John pointed out, we reside at our inn just a few miles away, and although we stay as unobtrusive as possible, we are always just a phone call away if something isn't working, or a kitchen gadget goes missing, or if you just need some discounted whale watch tickets or island ferry tickets. Thank you for taking the time to write, and we look forward to seeing you yet again next year!!! Tom & Ali
It's even better than described!
This is a superb family home,fully equipped with all modern conveniences.The location is unsurpassed -20 paces to the beach which is perfect for paddling or swimming with lots of sand castle building potential-equipment provided.Bedrooms are large with lots of wardrobe space.Master is huge.all have truly spectacular views.Comfy beds.Big TVs VCR cable WIFI lots of good books and a large playroom with ping pong and other games.Property is spotlessly clean and everything works as it should.Owner is a local Innkeeper and available at the end of the phone-in 5 visits we never needed to call except to say THANKS for a great vacation.
Lots to explore and walking distance to excellent restaurants and village grocery store.Great insider local info/ guides in the property.We keep coming back- it really is special.Recommended for couples,families or a group of friends.Each of the bedrooms are very private with en suite facilities.
John, Thank you so much for your raves. I wish you lived closer than Ireland so you could visit more often. I know you would love it at Christmas when all the fireplaces are going and sometimes you can see seals floating by on ice caps. We'll see you next year!
