Property was just off a fairly major road, but surprisingly quiet inside and when sitting outside overlooking Buttermilk Bay. There is a lot of room inside the house including 5 good sized bedrooms, a large dining room, a large living room, a nice patio room overlooking the Bay and a nice deck.There is a separate cooling system for the upper floor so everyone was comfortable on the warm nights. On the cooler days we opened the windows and had glorious breezes throughout the house. The kitchen is the only space that isn't large; plenty of room for one or two or even three cooks, but tight when all of the non-cooks wanted to interlope. The house has a beach at low tide and access to a neighborhood beach two doors down, but your beach time is best spent across the Bay (10-minute walk), or at the lovely beach in Onset (10-minute drive), or across the Canal on one of the many Cape Cod beaches (30-90-minute drive depending). Nonetheless, we had a marvelous time at the home beach catching crabs and just hanging out including on two large rocks that appear at low tide. The walking path by the Cape Cod Canal (5-minute drive) was used several times and we found an excellent wooded hike just 2 miles away. We saw a musical in New Bedord only 30 minutes away, played putt-putt, and visited souvenir shops. The house and location worked out great for us; lots of options for things to do beyond what we did.
