Stayed here during the July 4th week when local festivities (Sandwich Lighted Boat Parade) were within a short walk. Of course everyday the house is right in the historic part of Sandwich and it's a quick walk to dozens of shops and restaurants. There is also a water pump at the nearby gristmill that many people stopped to fill their water jugs, and once we caught on, we walked up there to fill our bottles too.

The house was comfortable and we liked the big open kitchen living area which led to the master bedroom. The house is equipped with almost everything you would need for entertaining, and owner was responsive to questions. Upstairs bedrooms were quite separate, which might be a problem with a very young family but worked great for us (youngest was 16) and offered even more room for socializing in the upstairs "den". We didn't spend too much time in the yard, but enjoyed relaxing on the deck - a few more chairs there would be great. We also grabbed a chair from the office to make more seating by the TV in the family room. We were a family of 5 that varied from 3 to 7 during our stay and had plenty of room even for our mini-dachschund who we limited to the main floor using a child-gate on-hand. Although we have stayed on the Cape many times, this was our first time in Sandwich and we appreciated the small town charm that is reminiscent of Martha's Vineyard. It has some rocky beaches which were nice if a little chilly, but we also drove to Nauset and Old Silver Beaches to get sandier beach days and took a great boat trip on the canal out of Wareham.
