Description

Description

The number one reason for visiting Cape Cod are its beautiful beaches. We have Colonial Acres Beach on Lewis Bay a 900 foot beach and it is a short 8 minute stroll away. Scroll past our photos to watch our 34 second video of a hot day in July. The Salt air breezes will rejuvenate your spirit and we have Cape Cod Breezes at the cottage as well as window air conditioners when it is needed.

Wake up and savor some freshly brewed coffee in our ''Sunny in the Morning'' kitchen. You can also stroll a mere 300 feet to Bagels and Beyond on Rte 28 for world class bagels, coffees and pastries. This is a very popular venue and is always busy.

While you enjoy the morning sun, coffee, and birds chirping, check out our Comprehensive Guest Guide on the kitchen table for quick information on all that Cape Cod has to offer. Beaches, Restaurants, Attractions, Supermarkets, Playgrounds, Wifi Code, Vet information, Secret Beaches-we have packed this guide with tons of information in an easy to use format. Jean and I live in the neighborhood- if you have questions of any kind, or need assistance.

Location:
Our Exact Address is 12 Standish Way West Yarmouth MA. which is Mid Cape Cod convenient to all of the Cape.
The nearest main town beach is Seagull Beach, 2.7 miles away, main and back road directions are in our guest guide.
There are at minimum, several dozen restaurants within a 2 mile radius. Some of the most popular are the Yarmouth House, Captain Parkers Pub, Giardino's, Tugboats, Spanky's Clam Shack, The Black Cat, Geradis

Nearby Attractions: Whydah Pirate Museum, Inflatable Water Park, an Antique Store and a Thrift Shop, Luke's Liquors, Several Ice cream shops, Minature Golf, Gift shops, a great Fish Market and so much more.

Take a ride on the Cape Cod Railroad. There is always something to do. Our Guest guide will tell you where to park for free in Hyannis.
(You are never ''High and Dry'' at the Hibiscus House.)

Our neighborhood has a community feel with a variety of interesting homes and is a very friendly, happy place. There are sidewalks all of the way to the beach. We are in a moderate traffic area, about a 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The Beach parking lot has free parking for 12 cars, a bike rack for your use, a little reading library, and a portapotty in the Summer. Cross over the footbridge and your spot on the sand awaits. The beach has an island feel and interesting views. Fish near the channel, watch the ferries coming and going to the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. There are boat slips nearby, so there will be boats, kayakers, wind surfers to watch at times, as well as plenty of beach goers. Colonial Acres Beach is on protected Lewis Bay-which means shallower and warmer water, great for the kids.

Your Accommodations: Our House is 700 square feet and has occupancy for four persons. We have 2 Bedrooms and 1 Bath, plus an Outdoor Shower which is a thing on Cape Cod. If you have not yet taken an outdoor shower you are in for a treat. We have wood floors with area rugs, and a well equipped kitchen. The primary bedroom has a Queen Bed. The second bedroom has a Double Bed and a Twin Bed. All you need to bring is sheets and towels.
We also have fire extinguisher, smoke and CO detectors, a first aid kit, a hair blow dryer, a flat iron and small ironing board, all light bulbs are checked on change over. We do not have granite countertops. The house still has the original built in kitchen cabinets. We pay attention to details. Fast Internet.
Your Dog is welcome and there is a dog park less than 1/2 mile away at Sandy Pond which also features a fabulous kids playground with upscale equipment including a wicked cool Splash Deck.

We have a relaxing peaceful back yard, with a grille, propane provided and backup tank, a hammock, bird feeder, patio table and chairs, flowers and garden. There are no cameras inside or out. We do have neighbors but it feels semi-private, as we also abut some woods.
There is a Washer and Dryer for your use in the unfinished basement which is accessed from outside using the exterior bulkhead, and this is where you will also find beach items, beach coolers, beach chairs, etc..
The living room has a Roku streaming televisions, VCR for VHS movies, DVD player and DVD movies, and a stereo. The twin bedroom has a smaller Roku tv only.

Other Considerations:
Note: If you are taller than average or have mobility considerations you may find the toilet placement in our house a tight squeeze. It has not been an issue in 20 years of renting, but please look at the picture of our bathroom in our listing.

Check-in 3 p.m. Check-out time 11 a.m.

Looking forward to your visit.

    Perfect Sanctuary
    May 2021

    My husband and I stayed in this lovely cottage during the 2 very stressful and busy weeks in which we were buying a home. The place is lovely and welcoming and felt like a refuge after our long and full days. And we all-including out 10 year old cairn terrier- loved the walk down to the beach.

    The place is clean and charming and we had all we needed- and the owners were wonderful, checking in with us to see if we needed anything. It made all the difference!

    Title of review (from Tripadvisor) "Awesome"

    House was well stocked. Owners super nice and helpful with any questions. Tons of stuff to do in the area, for kids and adults. Beach was a short walk away and owners provide wagon for all your beach gear. Yard was nice, house was clean, Very happy with this rental for the week.

    Review title from tripadvisor "Wonderful location, charming cottage, perfect hosts!

    I LOVED the week with my sister and 2 year old Bichon Frise at Hibiscus House. It was the perfect location: a 5 minute drive from my conference in Hyannis, and a short walk to the neighborhood beach. Bob was gardening when I arrived and stopped to chat, later adding yoga recommendations to the already fantastic giant reference book that he and Jean provide - guides to sights, restaurants, all that we needed! Everything was extremely well taken care of, instructions were meticulous. We met gracious, welcoming neighbors on our daily dog walks down to the beach. Plenty of room and supplies. I would absolutely book again and definitely give Bob and Jean my highest possible praise! show more show less

    From TripAdvisor Title "Amazing"

    Bob and Jean were awesome! The house is adorable. It was everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It is 2 miles to the ferries that take you to the islands and wonderful restaurants. We didn't have children with us...but the area has a lot of fun things to do for kids. Bob has thought of everything for his renters. He has a guide book that we used often. We had our dog with us and it worked out great!!! We cannot wait to visit again.

    From Airbnb: We had a great stay at the Hibiscus House! We brought our dogs and we loved being able to walk down the quiet road to the beach. The cottage is charming, cute and well appointed and was a perfect fit for us. Rob and Jean were super flexible and hospitable and easy to commuicate with. We wish our visit could have been longer and we look forward to booking with them again.
    Since we were down there for many things including a road race, they left us gives of health treats and electrolytes which were such a nice gesture. We would definitely recommend booking with Rob and Jean and staying here. show more show less

    Well maintained house, lovely setting
    September 2013

    We stayed here during a unusual week of oppressive humidity, and we were grateful for the cool breezes the backyard offered and the ac in the house. The owners were attentive and thoughtful, and you will know that from the very clean and well cared-for house. It's a beautiful neighborhood that is very quiet with little auto traffic and lots of people walking and enjoying the outdoors. Because of the way the lot is situated, you'll find a lot of privacy here too. There are no houses behind the rental, one house on one side, with a quiet owner, and a dirt lane on the other side of the house, before the next house.

    It was close to anything you need, including a very short walk to the bagel and coffee shop, which served nice quality food and had friendly service.

    Several people wrote of the backyard wildlife, and as a homeowner with a large yard and wildlife activity, I thought that wouldn't matter to me. I was wrong! The birds were very active at the feeder and we really enjoyed watching them close up. We had a mama duck and 6 ducklings parade through the backyard a couple of times, and several bunnies all day long. Squirrels stealing fallen bird food were cute, too.

    While the house is charming, it is also up to date. The walls are drywall and painted, with closed ceilings, finished wood floors, an up-to-date bathroom, and everything you need in the kitchen. Often summer rentals have wood walls or open beams but that is not the case here. It is a year-round house, with beachy charm. It was also very nice to have use of the washer and dryer in the basement.

    We love the Cape in October - no crowds and our dog Morgen loves being able to swim and run on the beach. Hibiscus house was incredibly comfortable for us just a cute little place, and felt very relaxing.
    We haven't been to the Cape in 12 years but we're determined to make this a great vacation.
    Thanks so much! Mary, David, B & Jake + Jeff and of course Morgen

    Bob & Jean,
    Its Friday already! :( The week flew by but we had a great week. Saw the 100 year old weeping beech tree in Yarmouth. It was incredible! Great sunsets this week. Caught a breathtaking one at Chatham light!
    Bluesfest concert at Melody Tent was cool! Brought us back to our 70's days :) Great beach weather! Thanks again for our 8th week at the house. Carrie and John H.

    Dear Jean and Bob,
    Thanks for letting us enjoy the place for a week. Its has been a bliss and total recovery from our hectic week in NYC.
    The weather was great. We enjoyed the beech, Sandy Pond and went whale watching to Provincetown.
    But most of all we enjoyed the backyard, the birds, rabbits and squirrels were lovely. We even saw a humming bird this morning. We don't have those in Finland!
    Thanks again and have a lovely Summer!

    Jean and Rob purchased the Hibiscus House in 1986 and have been accommodating vacationers since 2002. Our personal residence is also in the neighborhood. We take great pride in sharing it and Cape Cod with you. Find our website URL in this listing which showcases the attractions and natural beauty of Cape Cod and may help you plan your vacation, whether our house suits your needs or if you stay elsewhere. The web site exists for your enjoyment and convenience.

    We live locally and are at your service if the need arises. Your ship will never run aground!

    What is special about this property?
    The house is south of 28 where all the beaches are. The neighborhood is great with wonderful neighbors. It has a community feel to it. The summer atmosphere is fantastic - well, it IS vacation time.

    We also have a comprehensive guest guide at our house for easy, quick reference.

    What is special about your town?
    The town of Yarmouth's slogan is ''within reach'' and that's because all parts of Cape Cod is readily accessible. We have a lot of activities for the young and the young at heart. Examples include: The Whydah Pirate Museum, Taylor Bray Farm. Fine Dining restaurants, minature golf, regular golf, the Cape Cod Bike trail, Free tennis courts, a water park, Arcade, beaches-beaches-beaches, and the list could just go on and on. The towns of Hyannis and Dennis on either side of Yarmouth also have a lot to offer.....did we mention we are within reach?
