Tidewinds: 6 Bedroom Home
Brewster Vacation Rental - ID 27171

I loved this house on the beach! With my husband, my three teenage daughters, my sister, her husband, their three young children, my mother and step-father, one would expect to need some pretty serious space....this house had that, and then some! The description on the listing was spot on. The house and surrounding property - clean and well organized. The rooms were quite comfortable and the living spaces and kitchens made sense for multiple families sharing the space. I loved the furniture - made me feel quite at home. The local hotspot was a coffeehouse at the end of the road (a short walk from the house). Morning coffee on the beach, live music from my daughters on the deck at sunset and beautiful dinners at the big kitchen table made it difficult to imagine wanting to go out to eat (though we did stock up at the local fish market in Brewster and the Stop n Shop in the next town over). The owners were very responsive and I would highly recommend this to my friends and family and hope to go back again next year!Response

We stayed in this home in late July 2014 and would definitely rent it again. It was myself and my two kids (ages 9 and 11), my two brothers and their young kids ages 0-4 and my parents. Location can't be beat - it is right on a private, sandy beach that at high tide is ~30 feet of soft sand and at low tide goes out forever. We had a blast building castles on the sand bars and defending them when the tide came in. Despite the tide going out so far, it was fairly close to the beach a good amount of the time - so we got the best of both worlds. Nice shallow water for the little ones to play in, no rip currents. The house has a deck at ground level and then a small grassy area in front of that, then about 20 feet of dunes, then the beach. The view is incredible and since this piece of coast is positioned in such a way that you could see spectacular sunsets over the ocean - rare for cape cod. One downside is the upper deck is only accessible through a bedroom. The House is classic cape cod. The entire interior is stained wood paneling, but its been well cared for and updated. The furnishings are basic or antique but they are all in good condition. The house was very clean. There were two kitchens, a little one and a big one - with two refrigerators. This was a big hit as we could have one dedicated to beverages. :) The main kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed in terms of dishes, knives, pots, pans. It clearly at some point in its past was set up so that it could be used as two units, there are also two staircases. The bedrooms are a good size. When I heard they were all upstairs I figured we should expect to be pretty crammed in, but there was a good amount of space. The rooms with the twin beds were a bit smaller, but my brothers were easily able to set up pack n' plays in the rooms with no trouble. At night, the house got nice and cool with the windows open. The only negatives I really have is that we had some appliance trouble - the water heater is a tankless one (great by the way when you have large groups of people who all want to shower back-to-back) and it did stop working. We reset it and it worked. The dishwasher didn't work and the refrigerator had a slight leak of some sort. However, I emailed the owner in the evening and the next day he had repairmen at the house fixing everything. Things like happen its the owner's response that matters and he couldn't have been better. Would definitely rent again! show more show less

This is the perfect house on the beach! We had a reunion of 4 families (8 adults and 5 kids) from CT, VA, and CO. The house is roomy and is fully stocked with every amenity you need including beach toys, beach chairs, outdoor seating, a fully (and I mean Fully) stocked main kitchen and a bonus kitchen and lots of fans including new ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of them. The owners are extremely nice, welcoming, and responsive to communications. Anyone could come and go to the beach at any time (such a bonus with multiple families on different schedules), just a walk down the path through the dunes. The beach has nice sugar sand. Swim in the gentle waves at high tide or walk a mile out onto the flats at low tide. The kids LOVED low tide exploring sea life and sand bars. The outdoor shower was key to cleaning off before going back in the house. The nights were quiet (except when Hurricane Arthur arrived) and we could see fireworks all around the bay the night before Arthur arrived on the 4th. All around the house is a winner for a big family or multiple families. We hope we can figure out how to get back there soon! show more show less
