We booked this house last minute for Memorial Day Weekend. Some of our extended family has a house up the street and we decided it’d be nice to see everyone, but not intrude on their space.
Its a very cute place for a long weekend at the Cape. I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and tidy it was when we walked in, and the owner was there to greet us when we arrived. She was very nice and made sure we were happy with everything when we got there. We loved the beach theme through out the house.
There was plenty of space to sleep since it was only 4 of us(myself, wife and 2 kids). There is three bedrooms inside but it would be kind of tough if we had two more people with us since the living area is tight. There’s really not enough space to fit 6 people since the couch is small, and the love seat is very small also. We had a rainy day so we stayed inside for part of the day and watched a movie or two with the kids, if there was two more people they’d have to sit in the kitchen at the table.
The outdoor area is on the smaller side. The patio furniture is situated for 4 people, not 6. So if you want everyone to congregate outside on a nice evening or even grill out during the day, you’d probably have to get a beach chair from the shed. The backyard is not usable if you have small children that like to run around. If you like to hang outside and play with your kids there is really not enough space for that in the side yard. We have a 10yr old and 7yr old and we were trying to play badminton but it difficult due to the space constraints. It did have an outdoor shower which is nice to use when you get home from the beach. You also have another unit next door that you share a wall with so be mindful of noise.
Thankfully we had some cooler days since we went for Memorial Day Weekend. One day was quite humid and the AC units didn’t work too well. There’s an AC unit in the master bedroom and one in the living area. The one in the living area doesn’t produce enough cool air for the two smaller bedrooms. On warmer or more humid nights, it would be difficult to get a comfortable sleep if you or your kids are used to an AC’d household.
It’s definitely a nice place for a weekend visit to the Cape, but with no washer/dryer or dishwasher it would be tough to stay longer than that. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, we always love visiting South Yarmouth.
