The house was just the right size for our family of 8.

Location was wonderful. Short walk to beach and close to shopping and restaurants.

Having the dock access with kayaks, paddle boards and peddle boat was an added bonus.

We would definitely rent same house if we were to choose Yarmouth again

Great Cape Rental - Perfect for Families

Two families (4 preschool age and 4 adults) shared this lovely Cape home for one week at the end of July 2017. There was plenty of room both inside and out, the home was clean, had all the necessities, and we can't say enough about how much we loved riding the Surrey bike to and from the beach. AC units in the bedrooms also ensured a great night sleep for all! We plan to book this house again next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Great week in Yarmouth

We stayed along with one other family for a week this past summer and had a great vacation. There was plenty of room in the house for everyone and we were able to have all 4 kids sleep together in one room upstairs which they loved. The best part of the house is the location and ability to use the dock along with the kayaks, paddleboat and paddle boards. We spent hours over there every day and even saw a seal swimming up the river one day. We always spend a day at the Cape Cod Inflatable Park after breakfast at Keltic Kitchen, both of which are less than 2 miles away. We also loved Captain's Parkers, a bar/restaurant only a 5-10 minute walk from the house.

Everyone wanted to stay another week!

First off, working with the owners (Dawn and Steven) was very easy. Regardless of the questions I came up with, Dawn answered graciously. Steven happened to be there when we arrived and came over to introduce himself to be sure we were all set.

The property was well maintained and we had no real complaints. There are window a/c's in all of the bedrooms and the cross ventilation of the cape breezes kept the common areas cool enough in the evenings. Two bedrooms down and two up, worked out very well for us. Bathrooms were clean with decent water pressure and the outdoor shower is secluded enough to really be used. Our group ranged in age from 20 months to 89 years and it was great that there were no major obstacles for either end of the spectrum.

The Surrey bike was a big hit with the kids and the neighborhood streets are quiet enough to allow them to be at the controls. The paddle boat, kayaks and paddle boards were a lot of fun for both adults and kids. All of these "toys" really made the week memorable for the whole family. Each year we rent a different house in a different area on the cape and this is the first one that I've had some of the family ask if we could go back to next year. Might even take the studio on the beach (I'll be in touch Dawn).

There are 3-4 public beaches w-in 1.5 miles with our favorite being Bass River Beach since it never got overly crowed and has all the facilities. No where near as crowed as Mayflower (my old favorite), and you can set up close enough to watch the kids in the water. There are plenty of ice cream, mini golf, and trinket shops, as well as the Whydah pirate museum with-in a very short drive.

Thanks for a great week and am looking forward to next year.

Jim and Terry,

We are delighted that you enjoyed the house, the water "toys" and all the amenities, and welcome your family back! Thank you!

Second year renting this property

This is our 2nd year renting this property, 5 adults & 3 kids (a 4 yr old, a 2 yr old, & 1 yr old). The house is located in a very nice & quiet neighborhood right off Rt 28, close to beaches. The house was clean & is very roomy. More than enough beds (no bunk beds which is a plus for me), and there was enough room in the bedrooms upstairs to put 2 pack n plays, and still have room to move around. The kitchen is provided with everything you need, including a grill outside, for cooking. This year the picnic tables & tiki bar were set up different than last year, this years set up was a better set up. The outdoor shower is large & private, a big plus. Across from the house is a dock with kayaks, paddle board, etc for your use. There wasn't enough time to enjoy it all!

The owners, Dawn & Steve, are a pleasure to work with. They are very accessible with any questions you may have. Another great vacation at this property!

Wonderful Family Vacation

My Family and I (Husband, 2 Toddlers, Grandparents) just returned from a wonderful trip to the Cape. The house was in a perfect location, had everything we needed (and then some) and was a main contributor to the amazing vacation we had. We look forward to returning!
