We knew we had found a wonderful place to stay when we walked in the door! The home was spacious, warm and welcoming, clean and comfortable. Everything was in working order and as described. The short walk to Parkers River Beach and the Skipper made the vacation!! We thought our experience would be good because the communication we had with Dave & Melissa before arrival was very positive but we were amazed how friendly all their neighbors were!!! In all our rental history we have never had neighbors do this!! Truly is a gem in South Yarmouth and hope to return!!

Great place all around!

We have rented many places on the Cape over the years, and this place is at the top of the list. This rental is in a very quiet location, yet close to everything - a 5 min walk to the action on main street OR the beach! The owners were thoughtful to leave restaurant & activity recommendations, as well as beach gear for our kids. Relax on the huge back deck or in the rocking chairs out front- outdoor shower too.... We had a great time and will be back!

House was clean, spacious and comfortable and an easy walk to the beach.Guests should realize that all bedrooms are upstairs accessible by steep set of stairs. This was a problem in that my wife has a disability. A hose out back would have good to clean off the table and deck.

Thank you for your feedback — we’re glad you found the house clean, spacious, and comfortable, and that you enjoyed the easy walk to the beach. We’re sorry you weren’t aware that all bedrooms are upstairs. We’re always available for any questions regarding the layout or amenities and are happy to clarify those details ahead of time. There is a hose kept in the bulkhead for guest use, though it’s possible previous guests may have moved it — we’ll be sure to check on that more regularly. We appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind to improve the experience for future guests. Best regards, Melissa

Excellent property located within a 5 minute walk to the beach. We were 10 people for 4 of our 7 days and had plenty of room. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of TV’s for all. Very nice large deck in back with plenty of seating and a gas fire pit to enjoy at night. The beach was perfect for our young grandchildren. Owners were good to deal with.

Family Vacation 2021

Where do I start? This home was beyond our expectation, according to my family it was “wicked awesome” It was beautifully decorated and meticulous. Melissa was amazing to deal with and gave me her cell number to call if we had any issues, which of course we never did . Melissa even left us a gourmet gift basket when I told her that it was our 50 th anniversary of coming to vacation on the Cape. Wish we never had to leave! Thank you soo much for everything you did in your home so others can feel so at home .

Incredible Yarmouth Home!!

I probably should not give such a glowing review as this will make it harder to book this house next year! Location was perfect, walk to beach and food. The house was immaculate with a generous sized back deck. The garage to store your beach stuff was key!! Loved it!

Perfect for a family with young children. Close to 2 different types of beaches, and a 1/2 mile from 28, a main thoroughfare. Owner was responsive to both questions and unusual situations. Cape is nice in September, but some places do shut down or reduce hours.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa and Dave

Host profile image
Our names are Melissa and Dave. We were both raised in Massachusetts. Growing up, we each spent our summers vacationing on Cape Cod, and once we met and got married, we knew a beach house would be in our future.

Cape Cod has always held a special place in our hearts, and no matter where life has taken us, it continues to feel like home.

We now have a young son, and traveling as a family is an important part of our lives. Renting out our Cape home to other families during the summer allows us to explore new places together while sharing this special spot with others looking to make their own memories

Why they chose this property

We chose this home because of its unbeatable location. We’ve spent many summer days and nights on the Yarmouth beaches, so when we saw this house, we knew it was the perfect fit. We love being just a short walk to the beach, close to Skipper Chowder House, and having the convenience of parking the car and simply walking everywhere we want to be.

What makes this property unique

We absolutely love the layout and privacy of our home. Summer days are best spent relaxing on the front porch in the rocking chairs or enjoying the spacious back deck surrounded by our very private backyard. Inside, the open layout is perfect for cooking, playing games, entertaining, and making lasting memories together.
