Perfect home away from home

The Sandtrap was a perfect home away from home for us during our son’s baseball tournament. From the moment we walked in the door we felt so relaxed and comfortable. The Sandtrap is beautifully decorated, immaculate, and has all of the comforts of home and much more. We loved the local mini golf and ice cream right up the road and the central location close to Hyannis Main Street and many local beaches. Mary was a wonderful host and truely thought of everything. We look forward to a return visit!

Our stay at Sandtrap was absolutely perfect for our family of six and made our first trip to Cape Cod truly memorable! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and so thoughtfully appointed—it immediately felt welcoming and comfortable.Mary is a fantastic host—quick to respond, warm, and full of excellent recommendations for things to see and do around the Cape. Her local insights really enhanced our trip!The kitchen was well-equipped, which made dining in easy and enjoyable. We especially loved the backyard and deck, where we shared several meals in the fresh Cape air. The provided beach gear was a thoughtful bonus and came in handy for our relaxing afternoon at a nearby beach.The location was ideal for exploring—easy drives to Chatham, Dennis, Provincetown, and just minutes from the Hyannisport ferry, where we caught a boat for a wonderful day on Martha’s Vineyard.Sandtrap was everything we hoped for and more—clean, charming, and convenient. We are so grateful for Mary’s hospitality and are already looking forward to returning. A wonderful place to experience summertime on the Cape!

Pretty Cottage in W Yarmouth

Well stocked kitchen in both appliances and supplies. Everything for the beach - chairs and towels which we might have used had there not been a hurricane. Lovely main bathroom with roomy shower (one of three). Easy to check in and out. Everything wee needed was there. After a steamy week in New York we could have used a washing machine. Three of us had a lovely time.

Awesome Place!

This property was wonderful! Super clean and beautifully decorated. Has lots of space! The back yard and grilling area is also very peaceful. The kitchen is extremely well appointed and matches the decor so nicely. Beds are comfortable did I mention how clean and beautifully decorated? I was very impressed and we have stayed in many VRBO homes. The beach is close to the house and chairs, coolers, towels and umbrella are there to borrow. The beach is clean and not crowded. We enjoyed going down there. Hyannis is very close to do some shopping, dining and attend free concerts in the parks there. We took advantage of the Cape Cod Rail Trail for lots of exploring and exercise. Each section we decided to visit was a very quick car ride to start. Mary was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely return! Great vacation!!

I’ve stayed in many rental properties on my travels and this home is at the top! From the kitchen/home supplies to the decor - this home has been crafted with intention at every turn. The cottage was cozy and plentiful, and the outdoor space was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring! Anything and everything we needed was already provided and Mary gave us some great tips and places to check out in and around the Cape. The property is close to beaches, retail and the ferry, which was ideal for our day trips to the islands. We ate our weight in seafood (Mary recommended the seafood stew at Spankys Clam Shack and it was the best meal of our trip!). Mary pulls out all of the stops to make her guests comfortable and her communication is exemplary. Don’t miss out on this gem!

Our family loved our stay at Sandtrap! Mary's home is very welcoming and very well organized- plenty of hooks, hangers, baskets, blankets, she's though of everything! We cooked many meals in the kitchen and grilled out in the back yard! The back garden is beautiful. The beach gear and wagon made trips to the beach and kettle ponds super easy. Location was great, we visited many of the townships and nothing was too far away.

We had the most wonderful stay at The Sandtrap in Yarmouth, MA. It was our first time on Cape Cod and we had no idea what to expect. The house is beautiful, spotless and has EVERYTHING you need. I’ve never rented a vacation home that provided linens and towels (decades of Jersey Shore stays) and it made everything so much easier. The house itself it tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and you can walk to a small, quiet beach and also mini golf, ice cream and coffee. Anything ing you need is quick drive away and the proximity to Hyannis makes all the traditional Cape Cod excursions (whale watch, ferries) extremely convenient and accessible. There are great places to eat within minutes. Mary was attentive, engaging and so friendly. Everything in the house is comfortable and clean. Recommend 100%

Amazing Cape Stay!

We loved staying at the Sandtrap. Mary is incredibly communicative and helpful. The house is perfect for a family. We had a wonderful time exploring the Cape, playing mini golf, eating ice cream and making memories as a family. The neighborhood beach was especially our favorite as it was quaint and close by and perfect for our little ones. Highly recommend staying at Mary’s charming Sandtrap!

Charming and Central

This is a charming, attractive cottage centrally located for exploring all there is on Cape Cod. We were there for the Cape Cod Baseball summer league, driving to a different village around the Cape for each game. Mary’s thoughtful supplies include travel folding chairs which were essential on game nights.The home is extremely well supplied with many thoughtful touches. Host Mary is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Some rooms are tight on space. To use the bed in the alcove of the third bedroom requires climbing in from the bottom. Best for younger members of your party. Be sure to sample some of the many ice cream parlors and enjoy your stay.

Great Cape Cottage Close to it All!

Mary’s house was a wonderful and spacious option for us and our little one this summer. We were close to everything we wanted to do in Chatham, Harwich, and Dennis, as well as a 5 minute drive from the ferries to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Mary also shared out some local spots that we hadn’t been to before, and enhanced our trip. Having come up to the Cape every summer for nearly a decade now, I can say that Mary’s place is one of the best spots we’ve found (and the beds are super comfortable, too!). We hope to return again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Mary

Host profile image
From just North of Boston, I am a true "Washashore" here on Cape Cod. I traveled for 30 plus years all over the US and many other places for business, but my heart still flies lighter once I cross the Sagamore Bridge onto Cape Cod. Sandtrap was once my "go to" second home, but now is my year-round landing spot! I am outgoing and enjoy meeting new people, but also mindful of my guests' privacy as I expect for myself. I am committed to providing the best visits for all of my guests and strive to address any need or concerns quickly!

Why they chose this property

Historic Hyannis Park is a seaside family neighborhood with our own beach less than half mile at the end of the street, and so much more very close by; ferry terminals, local shopping, dining, major travel routes, airport, other wonderful beaches, golf, kayaking and so much more. The location is just terrific!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful landscaping, large private fenced in yard with expansive deck and sunroom. Less than 50 yards to mini golf course and ice cream and all other beaches and hot spots, yet still a quiet respite.
