This luxurious property has 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and enough sleeping arrangements for 15/16 guests to spread out comfortably throughout an impressive 5,000+ square feet of living space, making it an ideal accommodation choice for a family, an offsite business meeting or group of close friends looking for the ultimate Cape Cod beach side & pool experience.
You’ll feel right at home the moment you step inside the home's beautiful cape interior, extravagant furnishings, cozy wood touches & an elegant stone fireplace. Massive windows throughout the home provide views of the lily pond on the property designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect for Central Park, Arnold Arboretum & more.

Visit and fall in love with this special, romantic property.

Another ensuite bedroom has a separate in house set of stairs for its own entrance..

Owner cancelled our 60th anniversary celebration with our family cause he “forgot” about a family wedding. It spoiled our entire year! Beware, beware!
4.0
This beautiful home was large enough to accommodate our full family reunion spanning all ages from 8 months to 70 years. Host was very responsive and addressed each of our needs.
5.0
The property was pristine. Fantastic location (close to beach, close to amenities, close to stores) with a house that is even bigger than shown in the listing.
Well stocked kitchen, many areas to sit and relax, or eat with large groups. Our kids were in the pool for hour on end, and the pool toys were a nice touch
The fourth story windmill was a great place to hang out after the kids went to bed.
Overall a tremendous location and trip

We had a wonderful stay for our family gathering! The home is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous grounds and ample space for our group of 14. Kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals properly for a large group. Owner was welcoming and accessible. Very well located - the beach pass is awesome and you can also easily bike to the beach or even walk, plus walk to ice cream etc. Highly recommend and would love to come back some day!

My sister and I and our families spent the week in this home and had a wonderful. It was spacious (enough room for 11 of us to spread out comfortably). We enjoyed the property, both inside and outside. Nice location near a great ice cream shop and a short drive to the beach.

We had a wonderful summer vacation at this beautiful home close to the beach with a heated pool also. The house was spotless and had well situated sleeping areas for our various family members. All of us enjoyed many hours in the pool. The areas villages were fun to explore and the Ice Cream shop and General Store were a big hit especially with the kids. Would definitely recommend this special place to stay!

We had an incredible stay at this rental property and exceeded our expectations. The house so cool and conveniently located by nearby towns including Hyannis. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

This property is beautiful and nicely situated in Barnstable. Short walk to Craigsville Beach, nice playground only a block, even the Library and General store. Kitchen has most everything you'd need as far as pots/pans. Nice spaces inside with updated bathrooms. Note that the exposed beams mean that the sound travels up to 2nd floor (if you have kiddies sleeping, keep the noise down in kitchen area!). Host was very responsive to questions and minor issues. I recommend!

Very good could be handicap accessible no ramps only stairs. No railings to hold on stairs.
Scary for this old disabled soldier. Enjoyed but pool impossible no railing. Fell front stairs no railing. We are always afterthoughts!!

It was perfect for our 8 adults and 3 children. The pool was a big hit and we had plenty of room to be together, many private nooks for some quiet down time. The owner lives near by and was available if needed. Definitely do it again!!

My family of ten and I stayed in here for two weeks for our annual summer trip. The house is lovely and spacious. The setting and location could not be better. However, there were a few issues regarding amenities that I feel at this price range should be addressed.
When my family’s check into the house there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms nor soap. We went out and purchased both. Jim called and expressed his embarrassment, wasn’t a big deal but for the price of this rental that should not have happened. The listing stated it could host 15 people, we had 10 and only one person could shower at a time. The water would become freezing cold if two people showered. That was super frustrating with 5 children all needing to get ready for bed. There was a hole on the deck from the previous guests which was quite a hazard with the kids. We blocked it off with chairs, but then we had to chairs to sit around the pool. My father-in-law was reading down by the pond and the chair he was sitting in fell apart completely.All of the beach gear they provided was old and falling apart, the pillows on the couches had stains. I found a broken tea kettle under the sink. I got the sense that the owner has not been at the house in some time. If he had a presence he would see that there are things that need repairing and replacing. Again the house is beautiful but for the price you pay some updated amenities are needed.
5.0
Amazing 7 nights for our family reunion. Group included 6 kids ages 5-10 who lived in the pool, loved campfires, the rope swing, frog sighting and the strong wifi for Minecraft. Property was amazing. We cooked up a storm, and had plenty of space for everyone to fan out, sleep and gather. Easy walk to the beach, easier drive. Candy store 1 block away got heavy action. Owner very helpful - ordered a new remote fo the tv and responded to questions during our stay.

Excellent place for a multi-generational event. Easy access to beach and good times in the pool. A great base for exploring the rest of Cape Cod.

What an amazing home in which to celebrate a milestone birthday with family from Ohio and New York! The grounds are stunning - we loved the view of the pond and the stunning hydrangea during our July visit. The weather was perfect for swimming. We spent a lot of time in the pool with a mix of teenage and young children. We enjoyed the small town Cape Cod charm on our walks and day trips to nearby beaches. House was spacious enough for everyone to spread out when needed. Wonderful kitchen and outside dining for family meals. The tower was amazing! Host was very responsive during our stay when needed. We had a wonderful stay!

Quintessential New England
The location of this lovely large home is spot on! Our family enjoyed cooking in the newly remodeled kitchen and our grandchildren swam day and night. There is plenty of room to sit outside and enjoy the spectacular landscape and mature trees. The beach is close by and the Country Store brings back memories for the adults. We even enjoyed the Centerville Fourth of July parade! There are many great restaurants and lots of quaint shops. We really enjoyed our yearly family vacation!

Fabulous property
Thank you for a fabulous 10 days in this great property which has everything from beach towels and umbrellas to kitchen aid and coffee machine. The garden was beautiful and the whole place felt like an oasis of calm in the centre of the Cape. A perfect location just a few minutes walk from a fabulous beach and all facilities within 10 minutes drive. Perfect location for a family holiday.

Bunco Blast!
Our ladies' Bunco Group of 12 enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this VRBO property. The host's instructions were clear and comprehensive. We walked to lovely nearby beaches and cute shops. We were able to sit comfortably at the table, the outdoor table, the kitchen area and the living room.

Fantastic House for Reunion of Old-ish Highschool Friends
We loved this house. It was in a beautiful location - the lawn and pond were beautiful and peaceful. The house had everything you could need and plenty of space for folks to socialize or get away for a quiet moment. Communication with owners was easy and fast. We would absolutely stay in the house again or recommend it to others!

Perfect for our group
We rented the house for the week during the festivities surrounding a family wedding. It really added to our experience and pleasure. We had plenty of room for our large group whose numbers expanded and contracted as the week progressed. We made use of the pool, the large deck, the bar at the top of the "Crow's Nest", and even the rope swing in the back yard. It was a great place and we highly recommend it.

Magical Indeed
We had an amazing week making memories with extended family, some of whom have seen each other since the start of the pandemic. Our days were spent hanging poolside, at the beach and going on day trips all over Cape Cod. Thank you for a wonderful time

Wonderful week!
Just spent a wonderful week at this house. There were 6 adults, 4 children and 1 infant - plenty of room for all! The pool, the pond, the landscape, the size and layout of the rooms, the access to stores, shopping, and other parts of the Cape made it a perfect place for us. Plenty of equipment/towels for beach trips and grateful for the washer/dryer. Enjoyed Craigshead beach, Sandy Neck, and Lighthouse beach at Chatham (no lifeguards there).Recommend Daily Mail, Crisp, and Amie Bakery! We all enjoyed the walking to the Country Store, especially the children! Highly recommend this property. Note: arrival on Saturday means crossing the Sagamore Bridge - go as early as possible, lots of traffic!!!

Wonderful vacation
Incredible home with lots of history. Plenty of spacious rooms and spaces to chill. With 6 adults and 5 kids everyone could do their own thing. Kids mostly spent time in the pool. Owner was gracious and available to us if needed. A really wonderful getaway. Would definitely recommend.

Cape Vacation
Great size for a large group - each family had their own accommodations which worked well for our kids that had infants. The pool was a great plus. We were a little disappointed there was no high chair and corn hole as stated in the description. Jim (host) was easy to get a hold of and handled any issues that came up. Overall, we had a great stay (wish the weather cooperated more!)

Perfect vacation home
Fun home, nicely decorated with plenty of space for family of 10. Beautifully landscaped. We watched the 4th of July fireworks from the top of the windmill, memories we will never forget. Jim shared amazing history of home with us.

Such a special spot!
The home is unique & beautiful. The property & landscaping was gorgeous. We had a really fun & special week. The top of windmill was such a hit. We used the pool a lot. The kids loved the nightly walk to Four Seas for ice cream. Our communication with Jim is was great. Thank you for sharing your beautiful & memorable home with us.

Wonderful weekend stay
The home truly is magical just like the description. The property is up kept so nicely and the owner was incredibly responsive and accommodating the entire weekend. We are already talking about a returned trip for next year! You don't want to miss out!

Wonderful getaway!
We had such a lovely time at this great house. It was everything that was described and it immediately felt like home. We rent houses a few times a year and sometimes you can tell a lot from the description - the warmth in describing how things will be provided and to help yourself to items in the kitchen (and they provide EXCELLENT coffee!) really translated into how we felt staying at the property. We had everything we needed and the location was great - so many restaurants and downtown Hyannis within minutes. Also, we could walk 3 minutes to a nice playground, 5 minutes to a cute general store, and 10 minutes to ice cream (we had 3 sets of tiny feet, probably closer to 7 minutes if just adults). Even the backyard was great fun for the kids and adults - everyone loved the rope swing! We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice, very clean, and superbly located rental.

First class and unique
Beautiful, luxury home that will be the perfect spot to host large families and gatherings. The lighthouse tower with a bar was a fun spot for pre dinner cocktails. Also a short bike ride to multiple beaches. Our favorite was Dowses in Osterville.
