This was by far the best VRBO/Air B&B type experience we have ever had (and we've had a few). Keith and Lynn are absolutely fantastic hosts and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is enjoyable for all. Lynn knew we were travelling with two young kids and went so far as to gift our children toy/plush whales as mementos of the trip. This absolutely delighted our young children beyond belief and was such a kind gesture. The accommodations themselves are perfect. As most commenters have noted, the porch is everything. Almost every meal was spent outdoors on the porch f it didn't take place at the beach itself. Oh and the beach! Such wonderful and warm beaches perfect for the family are literally 5 minutes from the door step. The neighbourhood is quiet, calm and charming. Everything you need is a skip and hop away. We were looking for a quiet and easy week away for our young family and we got exactly what we came for. None of us wanted to leave. Thank you Keith and Lynn. We'll be back!!!

We really enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach and restaurants and we loved all of the personal touches throughout. The breezeway was the best with the comfy furniture (especially the chaise lounge). One of the best houses we have ever stayed in on the Cape! We loved it!

Very clean home and great central location to see all of Cape Cod. We met the super nice neighbor staying at the house next door, also a rental by Lynn and Steve. Liked the outdoor shower. Great stay and communication with the owners. Home was well equipped with towels, linens and kitchen items.

I had the good fortune to stay at Summer Ayer in October 2023. Everything about my stay was outstanding. Booking and making payment was straightforward. The host was excellent about communicating before and during the rental period; any emails I sent received a lightning-fast response. The house and property were perfect for my month-long stay. Lynn and Keith have thoughtfully curated an amazing beach house that looks and feels like Cape Cod inside and out. The immaculately clean house is comfortable and roomy and has been outfitted with everything a vacationer could need or want. Great thought and detail went into how the house was equipped; there are plenty of pillows, bedding, towels, etc.; the kitchen has been beautifully outfitted with cookware, dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. The house is decorated in a clean, casual, nautical style that constantly reminds you that the beach is just down the street. The covered outdoor patio is a great bonus space. The yard is beautifully landscaped and has a couple of sitting areas and even a hammock. The gas grill was nice to have. The outdoor shower provided a new experience. The house is situated in a cute, quiet neighborhood a couple of blocks south of Route 28. The mid-Cape location is convenient for excursions in every direction. Summer Ayer is a wonderful vacation house, and the Shaws are wonderful hosts. I hope to be able to come again in the near future!

This house is adorable and in a great location. My husband and I have stayed here once before and this past august vacation was also great. The updates to the house are beautiful. Hoping to come back next year.

This house was perfect for our short-term Winter rental. We stayed here while our own house was being renovated. Great location, fully stocked, and super clean. Despite the weather we enjoy long walks after work and this house is less than 1 mile to the Beach. The owners Keith and Lynn were wonderful and always available when we had questions. We will definitely recommend this house to family and friends.

Simply wonderful says it all. Great location close to beach, grocery stores and all types of eateries. House is charming, clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet. We were able to relax and enjoy all the cape has to offer. Thank you!

This home has everything and more for the perfect cape trip. My family and I could ride our bikes to the Parker River Beach, just a ten minute trip (and that is with a five year old rider)! Keith and Lynn go above and beyond for their guests, and the house was cool and comfortable for our return from a hot day at the beach! We loved eating our meals outside and enjoying the beautiful yard and brand new grill. Can’t wait to go back!

Vacationed in winter, house was comfortable and warm the entire stay, landscapers promptly plow street, drive and walkway. Great neighbors, close to everything I wanted to see and do on the Cape. Clean, spacious, walking distance to a lovely beach. Excellent wifi, handling multiple devices and streaming, no issues. Would gladly stay again!

Good location for young family
This was a very clean and well decorated Cape Cod house. The accommodations work well for a couple with two children. The location is perfect for accessing the beaches and Hyannis with ferries to the islands. There are many mini golf options and restaurants as well as two full service grocery stores and drug stores very close by. The neighborhood is very quiet.

Next door to Heaven
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Holly Lane. It was quiet, peaceful, clean as a whistle, and every amenity was provided for. It is located very conveniently to many restaurants, shoppes, and the beach!
Very grateful to the owners for their wonderful hospitality, and we hope to return next year. Judith and Bridget

Great accommodations and hosts!
We had an awesome week at Summer Ayer - 6/5/21 to 6/12/21. The home is spotless and very convenient to the beach, bike trails, golf and several other Cape attractions. Lynn and Keith added several nice touches such as paper products, coffee, wine and chocolate which were most appreciated. We would highly recommend this property! Ann & Rick

A perfect oasis!
Spent the month of April at 50 Holly Lane and it could not have been more perfect. (Well, maybe if it was 80 degrees and sunny, but I digress.) The cottage is impeccably decorated; the wifi is adequate for working remotely; the location offers access to the beach and to most anything else you need within walking distance; and the hosts, Keith and Lynn, could not have been more communicative or accommodating. We took advantage of some challenging hiking trails (definitely check out the Sand Dune Trail in Provincetown), several area golf courses, and great takeout (Gerardi's Cafe!). All in all, Summer Ayer was a perfect oasis for these crazy times.. Thanks, Keith and Lynn for sharing your gem of a home!

We had a really good time
Everything at the property was amazing. We knew before hand that it was off season, so surely expected and wanted the stay to be peaceful, and it was indeed. If the rain gods were more favorable, the stay could have been better.

50 Holly Lane
50 Holly Lane is a wonderful cozy cottage just minutes from the beach and local shopping, restaurants, breweries and wineries. We had all the amenities we needed, the horseshoe pits were a lot of fun and the hammock was a great place to relax. Looking forward to going back in the future!

Cozy and perfect
We love this place! It’s our second year in a row renting here and we plan to go back. The house is perfect for the two of us and is in a great location relative to everything we need. Keith is always readily available and has been prompt with answering any questions. I would highly recommend!

End of summer get away
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Keith’s and Lynn’s home. The house was very clean, and nicely appointed. The location is very convenient to many beaches, restaurants, and shops. Everything you need for cooking and outdoor activities is on site. The outdoor shower is fabulous. We have already reserved our stay for Labor Day week next year.

Great Cape Getaway
My husband and I had a great week at Keith’s place! Easy walking distance to beach and restaurants. The house was very clean and stocked with everything! We loved the outdoor shower and enjoyed relaxing on the porch and in the hammock. We had two friends visit for a night and had plenty of room for the four of us. Would definitely recommend for a Cape vacation!

Excellent value for the $$$. Very clean and fully stocked with essentials.
We loved this beautiful, clean house. Excellent value for the money. I would come back here in a minute, this would be my first choice. The owner Keith Shaw was very nice and called to make sure we were all set with everything, which was much appreciated. We were very impressed with the items we did not have to purchase as house was fully stocked. I would highly recommend this property!

Cape Rental
This was a wonderful vacation rental. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. I appreciated the owner contacting me after check in to ensure all was fine. Would definitely recommend this rental to anyone visiting Cape Cod. I will be renting again if I return to the Cape.

Perfect Relaxing Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely vacation home. The many amenities such as the washer/dryer, beach gear, BBQ grill and outdoor shower was a plus. The little things such as toiletry and kitchen staples was a tremendous convenience. The house/backyard/porch was so clean, peaceful, quiet and very well kept. We enjoyed sitting out in the porch having breakfast everyday. The owners Keith and Lynn provided a binder with instructions to the house as well as menus and things to do. Keith also called to make sure we were okay with everything. We will stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Best Cape stay to date!
We switched locations this year and are so happy we did. The house is very well kept and has everything you need. Loved sitting on the patio every morning having coffee and reading. We even ordered in one evening and ate out while it was drizzling, the porch kept us nice and dry. Keith and Lynn were both great in responding to questions before and during our stay.

Cape Cod vacation 2019
This was our Best house yet on the cape. Great beach neighborhood. Short walk to a beautiful beach. We also loved the fact that we could walk to restaurants and early morning coffee runs. The house was exactly as described. Super clean and has everything you will need. Enjoyed the darling porch and having a washer and dryer. Meticulous Landscaping and large yard was also great. The kids loved the "Cape Cod" out door shower too! Highly recommend Keith's house. Thanks Again

Perfect family getaway in the Cape!
What a beautiful, CLEAN, comfortable home!! It is very evident that Keith cares for his renters, and it was much appreciated. We have stayed in many homes that haven’t felt like “home,” except for this one! The yard was perfect for our kids to run around in, street quiet and great for walks and bike rides. The location was perfect - a nice, relaxing walk to the beach, or a very short bike ride/drive. It was also very convenient to many of our favorite activities and attractions. The beach was wonderful, as it had bathrooms and play area for kids! We loved our trip to the Cape, but this home was the icing on the cake. Thank you! We hope to rent here again!

Exactly what we needed.
We chose this house because it was centrally placed to explore Cape Cod. We wanted a quiet, comfortable, stylish place that did not take dogs, everything was exactly as described. The bed was very comfortable, the well equipped kitchen made it easy to cook at home for our special diet, we felt very relaxed, slept well and feel refreshed. Thank you for making us so welcome, we highly recommend this house.

What a wonderful place! It was so clean. It had everything you could need. We got in the house and found a wonderful bottle of wine then Keith called to make sure everything was OK for us.
The weather didn't cooperate on this trip so we didn't get as much use out of the patio and hammock as we would of liked but the inside livespace was so nice it was ok being inside.
If we come back next year I would want to stay here!!
5.0
Attractive, wonderfully equipped, well appointed -- as described in HomeAway -- but better (we expected less, got more, and enjoyed every minute). An easy and convenient base for Cape exploration. The owner took care of everything but the weather -- and that wasn't all bad either (too cool, and for a couple of days too wet, to sit on the porch, but there were plenty of other things to do anyway. Convenient to good restaurants -- and also to fresh lobster (cooked at "home"). A fine gas grill covered a couple other meals.
