We loved our stay! For our multigenerational family trip, this was a perfect home and location! We walked to the beach and to local restaurants and businesses. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed all of the toys, books and the playground in the back. It was a wonderful vacation at the Cape!

Great property for large group. Location was convenient to all the local historical sites. Close to the Boardwalk approximately 1 mile. Also many interesting local shops and restaurants. The backyard was large w playground for the grand kids. We did not use the hot tub or sauna, the sauna was broken and got serviced at the end of the week. The host was great about providing linens and towels as well paper towels, toilet paper and soaps. The number of rooms/beds and bathrooms fit are large group of 16. One concern was the presence of a ring camera in the area of the outdoor shower and hot tub area. Overall a great house for large group and the host was very good with communication and making us feel welcome.

Thank you so much for entrusting your family with us, Robert. We appreciate your understanding as we repaired the hot tub, and the Ring can always be turned off upon request, but was added to protect residents in case of injury (requested in past years). We loved hosting you and would love to have you back during a future stay!

The August House

We loved the charm and character of this property. The spaciousness of the common areas, including an expansive family room/dining area, terrace and yard, suited our large group. Plenty of room to gather together, but also quiet spaces to read, puzzle, etc. Close to beaches and restaurants, and other places of interest to explore, we had a wonderful visit - it was difficult to leave.

Family vacation

This is a beautiful historic home filled with character . The yard is perfect for children to play and adults to relax. The location is perfect , being in the historic part of Sandwich and close to several beautiful beaches just a few miles away. There are several extras to the home which made the stay so much easier- beach chairs, toys, yard games… the list goes on . We loved it

Check in is a snap. Property manager was great, one step ahead of us all the time. Updated kitchen with everything we needed for the week. Many places to eat, shop and visit nearby, some in walking distance. We had 12 adults and 7 kids and had plenty of room. Adults would sit around the gas fire pit (woman loved the no smoke) at night with cocktails while the kids played in backyard or watched TV. Very nice area, everything on premise was available to use, nobody wanted to leave. Thanks for everything!

Excellent House, Location, and Experience

This house was amazing! Located in the heart of downtown Sandwich, our group of 12 were able to come and go as we pleased without having to drive everywhere! Lots of cute restaurants, shops, and museums in Sandwich plus a short walk to the boardwalk and beach. The house was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone. Host was responsive when we needed them (which wasn’t often as they thought of most everything), and there were lots of bedding, towels, beach chairs and towels, and even robes for when you exited the hot tub. Our family loved this place and would definitely stay here again!

Perfection

This house and property is lovely in every way. Care and thought have been put into all the details making staying here seamless from beginning to end. The hosts are communicative, available, and helpful. Sandwich is a wonderful location from which to visit the Cape. From the house itself there are endless explorations to enjoy for all ages and interests. All thirteen of our family members (ages 3-78) highly recommend August House !

Lovely home and perfect place for a family reunion

Lovely home with enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our group of 16 (13 adults and 3 children ages 8, 15, and 16) and two dogs. We really enjoyed the sunroom with the large dining table, where we were able to all sit down for several family meals during our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped (really like having the sharping stone for the knives). Having both the single-serving Keurig and the 10-cup coffee maker worked well for our large group. The location made for easy walking to the boardwalk and beach as well as for some souvenir shopping and visits to the bakery. It was the perfect spot for exploring other parts of the Cape. Candace was such a wonderful host. We enjoyed the welcome bag with all sorts of goodies and a personal note. The "smores" kit was enjoyed around the fire pit and the bottle of wine did not last very long.

Historical home for the 4th of July

We had to take a redeye to get to Boston and we were lucky enough to be able to check in early after exhausting flight. The owner accommodated us which helped out greatly with the multigenerational family members between the age of two and 64. It gave us a chance to settle in, toddler to nap and walk around the old town streets of Sandwich. The house is in a perfect location for everything -easy to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, shops, spa, glass museum, mill, and only a short drive to Sandwich Canal for more restaurants and beach access. The house was set up with a touch of old and a touch of new. There was plenty a room for everyone. Kids room and a kids playroom, plenty of bedrooms with comfy linens and mattresses and bathrooms in each room plus two on the main floor, extra areas for quiet reading or family movie night. Outdoor gas firepit perfect for making s’mores or relaxing after a busy day of site seeing. Our granddaughter enjoyed the backyard with tire swing and play structure. The hot tub and sauna was nice for adults. The house was well equipped. We even used their chairs for the beach and for the Fourth of July parade that went by the house. The communication with Amanda was wonderful. Welcome basket was great at making us feel at home.

Beautiful and classic multifamily summer home stay

Four families plus two dogs stayed at this little compound, and it was a perfect little haven for us all. Enough rooms and sleeping arrangements for all the adults to have real beds and even teenagers have their own escapes. In our party is a severely allergic child and the kitchen was clean and organized enough to handle that, and having the separate kitchenette and fridge in a completely separate cottage for "outside" foods was perfect. Slightly mazelike rooms actually very charming and made us feel like we were exploring the kind of house with a doorway to Narnia (we are from boring West Coast suburbia so this kind of house is super novel to us). Both covered and open outdoor space so prepared for all weather (it rained a bit). A dining table big enough for 15! Very well-stocked kitchen (enough stuff to use while half of it in dishwasher). The neighborhood is absolutely lovely, very walkable, the historic section of Sandwich. Nothing like reading a book on the history of the area and realizing they refer to the intersection right outside your door or the library some feet away. The place is very well run, obviously by detail oriented people. Highly recommend, even if we suspect we won't be able to come here later due to popularity!

About the host

Hosted by Candace Sjogren

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to our home! We are a small family of 5, with a toddler and two amazing doodles. We spend a lot of time outdoors, and like to spend time in California (mom's favorite spot outside the Cape), so we open our home up to a small number of families so that you can experience the magic of our little town.

Why they chose this property

We think that there is a little bit of magic in this home. We came to the Cape for a winter weekend away, and found this amazing space. It has all of the modern amenities of a newer build, but has historic charm as well.

What makes this property unique

We think you will love the cedar hot tub and sauna (we just added them last fall), as they offer the perfect place to wind down after a day at the beach or touring.
