It’s time to plan your Cape Cod 2024 summer vacation! Beach pass included.

-BEACH PARKING PASS INCLUDED-

See what it is like to stay in a historical property nestled along Old Kings Highway yet so CLOSE (2 1/2 miles) to beautiful SANDY NECK BEACH on CAPE COD BAY! (owner provides Beach Pass, which is worth $375. Damage deposit is $875. to include loss of or failure to return $375. beach pass).

“The Charles Gray House" circa 1835 has many exquisite updates. It has the warmth and charm of yesteryear combined with the richness of today’s trends with all the various mod cons. This gracious home sits on over two acres of fenced in private rolling grounds accented by stone walls, brick walkways, glorious gardens, and a delightful gazebo awaiting you with a "book in hand" and a pot of tea or your favorite glass of wine.

Indulge yourself in comfort while stepping through this home with the wonderful flow to its floor plan offering a palette of colors from room to room. It’s graced with the original pine floors, has an eat-in kitchen with soapstone countertops as well as a formal dining room that can accommodate 8 guests for dinner.

There is a beautiful sunny first floor bedroom with a queen size bed and ensuite-bath with a glassed in tile shower adjacent to a study/library. The elegant bannister staircase in the foyer leads up to two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths~ the queen bed master has both a soaking tub and glassed in shower, and the third bedroom has two twin size beds and a private bath.

Recently installed is a brand new air conditioning (split system) on the second floor with central a/c on the first floor. The spacious living room has comfortable furniture, custom built -ins, a baby grand piano to "tickle the ivories" and French doors leading into a bright four season sunroom with ample wicker furniture, a 60” flat screen TV and dining for 8. The sunroom door leads to a deck with additional dining for 3, and with stairs leading down into one of the fenced in yards for your dog. The owner will consider a small (up to 20 lbs.) non-shedding dog with a $150 pet fee.

There is an additional deck off of the kitchen with a table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee under a pergola that is beautifully embellished with hanging and potted flowering plants. A few steps down and through the gate is a brick patio with a Weber gas grill and dining for 8. BONUS: Wash off the beach sand in the enclosed hot outdoor shower!

Come enjoy this special Cape Cod getaway which is so handy to everything the mid-cape area has to offer. There are numerous art galleries and antique shops along 6A, as well as whale watching outings from nearby Barnstable Harbor (Millway Beach).

Enjoy waterside dining at popular Mattakeese Wharf restaurant, shopping at The Cape Cod Mall, public golf at The Barnstable Fairgrounds, and there is always exciting nightlife in downtown Hyannis! Stroll down Main Street and look at all the menus until you find what you are looking for. Seek out Ocean Street for the best clams. Take in the gorgeous sunsets from Baxter’s, Tugboat’s on Hyannis Harbor or Fisherman’s View in Sandwich on the Cape Cod canal. There are ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket from either Hyannis or Woods Hole.

We look forward to having you as our guests!

A cozy Cape home
We spent 3 days with friends at this property. The house was equipped with everything we needed and well maintained. We appreciated the tranquillity and warm atmosphere of this historic home and the nicely landscaped garden. The location was convenient to visit the surrounding. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect place to stay on the Cape! Truly a home away from home. We were three generations traveling together and the home provided a place for us to make wonderful memories together. Incredibly clean, comfortable and cozy. Will definitely return if travel brings us back to Cape Cod! Thank you!!!

Cape cod stay
We had a lovely time at this charming property. It has a huge garden and also lots of space inside. The house was well equipped (e.g herbs and teas in the kitchen, beach chairs and bicycles in the shed) and we appreciated having the beach park permit for free parking.

Lovely and quiet
We loved the Charles Grey house and all of its amenities. The hammocks were great, lots of outside eating options, and it was so helpful to have the beach chairs and umbrella and boogie boards. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation.

Perfect place for your and your family
There are so many wonderful highlights about this property it’s almost impossible to list them all. But here’s a try. My son and daughter live in different states and it’s hard to get everyone together. One of my nephew’s was marrying at the cape. After looking on VRBO I came across this jewel. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The back yard was amazing, for our little pups. The kitchen where we spent most the time preparing for dinner had everything we needed. It’s such a beautiful place we intend to make it a yearly trip. Thank you Kennit

Excellent Place to stay near the Cape Cod
The property was amazing. Almost wish we did not have to leave. I love the overall theme of the house and the kitchen. The upstairs master bedroom bathroom has heated floors! It was a great surprise in the middle of the night. Property was well maintained and clean.
