If you enjoy staying close to everything that Cape Cod has to offer while being tucked away from the crowds, then ''Pond View Serenity'' is the place!
Centrally located on the Mid-Cape, with convenient access to Route 28, this spacious home is close to several ocean beaches, including the popular Craigville Beach (parking pass included!), shopping, restaurants, historic sites and more. This 3,000-square-foot family home is located on a private cul-de-sac and includes pond access, perfect for the rest and relaxation an escape to the Cape should provide. It's five bedrooms, three full baths, two family rooms and spacious kitchen and dining room can comfortably accommodate two families or extended family.
Here you can enjoy quiet, lazy days in the private backyard, with numerous places to lounge on the expansive deck, grill and dine outside, play games in the yard, or relax by the fire pit on those cool Cape evenings. Rinse off after a day at the beach in the must-have outdoor shower. We also provide two inflatable tandem kayaks (2 seats each) available to use on the pond. They are inflated on arrival but can be deflated to fit in the car and pumped back up if you choose to use at another Barnstable pond or beach. Adult and child life jackets are also included.
With several ocean beaches nearby, you’re sure to be entertained without having to travel far from the home. Bike or take a short three-minute drive south to Craigville Beach or Covell’s resident beach for miles of beautiful Nantucket Sound. You can grab fresh seafood and other tasty treats at The Barnacle located conveniently across from Craigville Beach. A little farther away by car is beautiful Dowses Beach in Osterville, a wonderful spot for collecting shells where the sand is soft and the beach is lined with beautiful dunes. The stunning sky never looks the same way twice at these beaches, with each visit feeling like you are part of a different nature painting. Note: Beach pass to all of Town of Barnstable's beaches and ponds are provided with the rental. Beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers and sand toys are also provided.
Walk or bike to quaint historic Centerville Village mere minutes away – home of the award-winning Four Seas Ice Cream shop and the 1856 Country Store known for its historic building and penny candy. One of the best local libraries on the Cape is close by, adjacent to a historical museum, places of worship and several historic former sea captains' homes and all the charm staying in a real New England village has to offer. To the west, Cape Cod Package and Spirits Shop is a short five-minute walk, and nearby is Centerville Pie (one of Oprah’s Favorite Things), the Bell Tower Mall with the 99 Restaurant, gas and gift shops.
With quaint Osterville Village a few miles down the road, the unique eateries, bakeries and boutique shopping are sure to not disappoint.
