Recently back for rental - What a gorgeous get-away! By the water in historic Barnstable Village, our remodelled, 5-bedroom family home offers the natural, un-spoiled beauty of Cape Cod with all of the comforts of home. No need to drive to the beach! Right across the quiet street is beautiful, sandy Millway Beach, overlooking Barnstable Harbor and Sandy Neck Lighthouse. Featuring views of the water from the upstairs rooms, the house feels like a beachside Bed & Breakfast, with bright, sunny decor, comfortable new beds, high quality linens, sparkling custom kitchen, and central AC. The 5 bedrooms include a convenient downstairs bedroom with adjoining full bath, 3 more bedrooms with queen-size beds, and a spacious upstairs bunk room that can sleep three, doubling as a separate kids' play area. Your family will enjoy the home's 3 indoor common areas to gather and relax together: a downstairs living/dining area, a great screened-in breezeway, and an upstairs family room with TV. On a beach you will never forget! Just steps from our front door, is private Millway Beach. This is a spectacular, pristine tidal beach on a wonderful protected bay -- your own bit of heaven! Perfect for children and adults alike. Swim in the clean salt water at high or low tide. Fly a kite, build a sandcastle, or walk the magnificent stretch of tidal flats and search for sea shells as the tide receeds. In the evenings, kick back, put up your feet, and watch the breathtaking sunsets over the water.
Back at the house, take a warm outdoor shower, and relax on the wonderful, enclosed, and totally private, back deck. Prepare dinner together in the beautiful kitchen, or grill some fresh fish for dinner on the outdoor barbecue. Feel the ocean air while you dine or relax on the breezeway. You will see why we lovingly call our home ''Casa Contenta''
The house is well laid out with 5 bedrooms to accomodate a group. There are 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. There is a fifth, newly appointed bedroom downstairs, conveniently located on the ground level, with its own new, full bathroom. We have plenty of beach towels, chairs and toys, and a fully equipped, kitchen with custom white cabinetry and granite countertops. The house is perfect for a family, or for 2 or 3 couples traveling together. Everything you need -- in a gracious, comfortable setting.
You might want to bring your sneakers and bikes - the neighborhood has quiet little streets that are flat and perfect for walking or bike riding. We have left three bikes for you to use and enjoy.
And there's lots more fun nearby -- sports, adventures, dining & shopping! Take a 5-minute stroll over to the Marina to watch the boats and fishermen coming into the harbor. Or book an excursion of your own on the famous Whale Watch or with one of the many sport fishing boats. An easy 10-minute walk takes you to the historic Barnstable Village center on lovely Rt. 6-A with its many antique shops, art galleries, restaurants and ice cream shops. Delicious seafood, mini golf, public tennis and golf are all nearby too. We love our ''Casa Contenta'' in this quiet corner of the Cape, and we invite you to come make some memories of your own here.
