Description

Description

Conveniently located on a quiet lane off historic Route 6A, we include everything you need in the rental rate - WiFi, pantry supplies, soaps and towels, beach parking pass, towels, chairs & sand toys, all bed linens. We will consider pets, and partial week stays, so please inquire.

Air conditioned inside and big yard outside, the house is close to world-class salt- and fresh-water beaches, shopping, dining, protected bike trails and wooded or marsh-side hiking trails.

This comfy home sleeps up to four people in two bedrooms; a king-bed room and a queen-bed room. It has a fully-equipped galley kitchen, a bathroom with walk-in shower with grab bars at shower & toilet and full sized washer/dryer. The bright and casual living/ room with windows on three sides leads to a covered porch. We take pride in super clean spaces and unique touches.

Included are 100% cotton bed linens and bath towels. For the beach we provide a beach sticker for parking at Town of Barnstable public beaches, chairs, towels, sand toys, and coolers.

We stock the bath with TP, soaps, shampoos & conditioners, hair dryers, and laundry supplies. The kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven, tea kettle, tea pot, and Keurig coffee maker. We have stock the pantry with tea, Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts k-cups, and paper goods. If you'd like something stocked before your arrival, we can assist.

Outside is a relaxing shaded porch, a picnic table, adirondack chairs and a charcoal grille.

Strong WIFI and smart TV supports your streaming devices. We do have an HDMI cable. Our library is curated with local Cape authors, some classics, kids books and a good selection of games and puzzles.

We have maps for trails within walking distance or a very short drive away. A 9-minute drive west takes you to Sandy Neck Beach, a magnificent 7-mile barrier beach that reveals long swaths of tidal flats and offering a bathhouse, restrooms, a great snack bar (good for dinner, too!) All Town of Barnstable beaches have surf chairs and all public beaches are handicapped accessible.

A 9-minute drive to the east is Barnstable village where you will find coffee shops, an organic vegetable farm stand, the local village grocery store, great dining, interesting local shops with local art and pottery. The Hyannis Whale Watcher boat is anchored in nearby Barnstable Harbor and we recommend this soul-enriching experience.

In a 15-minute drive to the west are found Cape Cod Canal bikeways, canal-side restaurants and clam bars, and the historic town of Sandwich with several museums including Heritage Museums and Gardens with their Hidden Hollow made just for kids. Downtown Hyannis is 15 minutes to the south where several museums are located within walking distance of each other: Cape Cod Maritime Museum, Mass. Air & Space Museum, The Zion Union Heritage Museum and the JFK Hyannis Museum. These are all located amongst Main Street shops, artist shanties, and great restaurants. Steps away from Main Street are sightseeing boats, fishing charters and island ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. We are less than a mile from the Route 6 on-ramp at exit 68 and the National Seashore, points east, and towns such as Provincetown are quickly accessed from our central location for super fun day trips.

    A Wonderful Stay in Cape Cod

    Our first trip to Cape Cod and it couldn't have been better. The house was clean, well cared for, and exactly as described. Location was perfect - it was away from all the hustle and bustle but yet close enough to everything. We loved traveling the more scenic Route 6A when we could but it was nice that it was close to the highway when we wanted it. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped, and overall the house was very welcoming. Wendy and Van thought of everything.
    Wendy was great with communication and provided all pertinent information for the house as well as for the area to enjoy Cape Cod. If we come back to the Cape, we will stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful first visit! show more show less

    Immaculate, quiet house

    We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely, well-equipped and quiet house on a residential street. Beaches and all amenities were close by - the town of Hyannis is a 10 minute drive away and Sandy Neck beach is even closer. Special mentions go to the truly enormous bed in the main bedroom, and how quickly Wendy responded to our queries. It was our first time in Cape Cod, and this house played a big part in making it a wonderful holiday.

    Cottage rental

    The cottage in Barnstable, Cape Cod was terrific. The directions were accurate and the beach pass was a definite plus. The cottage was nicely decorated and comfortable. Wendy thought of everything, from the extra lunch bags,
    cooler and stacked medicine cabinet to snacks and plenty of towels and supplies.
    It's a nice, quiet neighborhood on a dead end street with the patio on the back of the property for privacy.
    We highly recommend this hidden jem and would come back again.

    A dream stay and Cape Cod experience

    This cozy cottage had everything we could want and more. A warm welcome from the hosts, comfortable beds, and a cozy setting inside and out. We were close to everything we wanted to see and do, and felt the unique Cape Cod experience even when we were relaxing inside between activities. I can't recommend this house enough, and can't wait to return!

    Sun-drenched Classic Cape Getaway

    We came to the Cape for the weekend to visit family and had a lovely stay in Van and Wendy's beautiful home! When we arrived there were snacks out as well as a personal note and ample information giving us everything we needed for navigating our way around the area. The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we could possibly need at our fingertips for a lovely and comfortable weekend. This location is just around the corner from Sandy Neck, and is right off one of the most scenic highways in America. Van and Wendy are thoughtful and attentive hosts offering a classic and cozy Cape visit experience - we will definitely be back soon!!! show more show less

    This property is located on the coveted northside of Route 6A also known as the Old King's Highway (OKH) historic district in the town of Barnstable. OKH was also named a National Scenic By Way in 2021. The house is steps away from the Great Marsh, with hundreds of bird species including osprey and bald eagles! Night views of the stars are magnificent, with very low ambient light. A short drive to the Sandy Neck beach on Cape Cod Bay for salt water swimming or tidal pool wading. The town of Barnstable has every service and amenity you could want from world-class healthcare to great local food and shopping experiences. An ''accessible for all abilities'' playground and the ''trail of tears'' mountain bike trail are located in West Barnstable.
