This is hands down a great rental. Family owned and maintained. Had an opportunity to meet one of the owners. (We were early). Took time too show us around and allowed us to take the beach permit before our check-in time. Very nice.
Plenty of parking. The home is set back off the main road for safety and privacy. The yard is huge and fenced in. Plenty of room for cornhole or a game of whiffle. A nice Weber grill and patio seating allow for lazy summer grilling and drinks.
The house inside is cozy, welcoming, and clean. Very nice hard wood floors. Kitchen has all the necessary attributes (pots, pans, coffee maker, utensils, etc). Living room is a good size for congregating and comfortable. Nice TV as well. All four bedrooms are good sized and on the same floor. Full bathroom is normal size. The master bedroom has own bathroom as well. Outdoor shower is an added bonus. Central air keeps the house cool on those hot summer nights.
The beach pass is good for all Barnstable area beaches. You just flash the pass at the attendant and you are in. I cannot speak for all the beaches, but I highly recommend Kalmus and Craigsville beaches. Both beaches have easy parking and are a very short walk to beach. Like 20 feet and your toes are in the sand.
Distance from house:
Kalmus Beach - 1.5 miles (5 min drive)
Craigsville Beach - 3.5 miles (8 min drive)
Another great attribute to this rental is its walkability to Main Street. A 5 minute walk and you have access to a multitude of shops and restaurants. Recommended restaurants and bars are Beech Tree Cantina, Tap City Grille, British Beer Company. (No need too drive or hail a cab if you get a little tipsy) Dunkin Donuts and Convienence store are very close. For breakfast, do yourself a favor and try Sea Street Cafe. Excellent and creative breakfast menu. (We went 3 times in a week)
Overall, this is a great place. Perfect for a family with kids, couples getaway, or get together with friends. We will be back next season for sure.
