Blissful Cape days await you at this delightful home in West Yarmouth. Nestled next to the sound at Mill Creek Park, you’ll enjoy peaceful water views from the comfort of home. Walk 0.4 miles from your front door to Colonial Acres beach for sun-kissed days on the sand. For more beach fun, travel 2.5 miles to Seagull Beach. Stroll next to the sound at Mill Creek Park, just 0.2 miles away. Make the 2-mile trip to the heart of Main Street Hyannis to discover unique shops and locally beloved restaurants. For a carefree day trip, catch the ferry from Hyannis to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket.

The well-appointed patio features comfy lounge seating and alfresco dining space. Play games in the soft grass. Inside, you’ll appreciate the upscale furnishings, a newly updated kitchen, and the chic Cape-themed decor. The sunlit living area is furnished with a sofa and a love seat. Stream favorite shows and new movies on the 55” smart TV. The gas fireplace creates additional allure. The kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to prepare festive vacation meals. You’ll also find a convenient starter supply of dish soap and paper towels. When it’s time to eat, gather around the table for six in the dining area.

Enjoy the beautiful weather on the patio. Grill tasty meals on a gas grill, then dine alfresco at the picnic table. Adirondack chairs in the yard invite you to unwind, and the lush grass creates space to play outdoor games. An outdoor shower is handy for rinsing off after beach visits.

Excellent location
Very clean, outstanding location, not worth all of the associated fees. The fees are nearly double the actual cost of staying. I wouldn’t recommend.

Peaceful Cape Getaway
We loved staying at Happy as a Clam! This vacation rental is extremely clean, plenty of space inside and outside with wonderful waterviews! It is an easy walk to the beach and close to many restaurants and shops. This location provides something for everyone. We loved how the house was decorated and the property is in excellent shape. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Water View Cape House
This property was exactly as advertised and was such a nice place to stay over the July 4th weekend. Our family of 5 had the perfect amount of space and found the beds to be very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the water, such a pleasant view. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay within walking distance of the beach.

Beach days are the best days!
We stayed at Happy As A Clam and had a great time! The house is just a short walk to the beach that we went to almost every day. Perfect for a family! Great location to bars and restaurants. The house was decorated with such a cute nautical feel and the outdoor shower was great after a long day at the beach! We will definitely be back!

A perfect beach getaway!
I cannot even put into words how amazing our stay was! Everything from the landscape to the living room, bedrooms, and my favorite the outdoor shower. The back porch has the most amazing view all day long. We enjoyed our morning coffee relaxing watching the birds and boats come in. The beach is private and beautiful! Perfect spot for a family with young children or teens. We absolutely loved our time here and cannot wait to book again! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

Relaxing, beautiful stay
The property is in the cutest little neighborhood! We were all impressed that the listing photos matched the exact vibe of the house- very clean and comfortable. The owners thought of many different accommodations to make us feel right at home including a great welcome bag with activities in the area. The home is so close to Main Street Hyannis with plenty of restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Weekend Getaway
Great weekend getaway spot! I booked this Vrbo for a small bachelorette party and it was beyond perfect! Walking distance to the beach and driving distance to a lot of things nearby. We were able to take the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard one day! Property was very clean and homey, would definitely recommend!

Beautiful home close to beach
We had a beautiful week at the house. The house is perfect for a small family with grandparents, it is a cozy cottage but there was enough room for everyone to have their own space. The house is sparsely and soothingly decorated while feeling beachy and having all the kitchen tools and amenities we needed. Great property! Would highly recommend.
