Birdwatcher's Delight

My family and I rented Birdwatcher's Delight and we loved its close proximity to Nickerson State Park, and we had many fun times in the enormous backyard. We discovered a path through the woods in the neighborhood that linked us up to the bike trail and it was a short walk to cute shops in Brewster, such as Snowy Owl Coffee and the Brewster Bookstore. The house is cozy, comfortable and homey. We cooked big dinners in the kitchen and had fires in the fireplace most nights, as we were there in the winter.

We had a lovely vacation in Brewster at this delightful home in a very quiet neighborhood close to the Bike Trail and to Nickerson State Park. The bayside beaches, freshwater ponds and the National Seashore are all just minutes away. The home was very comfortable and the large backyard offered lots of privacy and many bird sightings. One evening we watched several turkeys snuggling together in the trees for a restful night-quite a memorable sight!

The kitchen was very well-equipped with everything required for cooking, grilling and baking. There were numerous pantry items including spices, etc., which made meal preparation easy. The internet worked well throughout the home and was available outside on the deck! We had lots of hot days and nights in July so we appreciated the air conditioning in the living room and bedrooms to keep the place comfortable.

We enjoyed relaxing dinners on the deck and saw many fireflies in the evenings just after the Fourth of July-a special treat! We loved the convenience of the (hot water) outdoor shower and the shed for our many beach toys. Mary was extremely helpful, clear and prompt in all communications and she returned the security deposit right away. We'll definitely look forward to renting this lovely home the next time we need a Brewster vacation!

Thanks again, Mary, for everything!

My family of four stayed in this property and had a great time--it's stocked with the basics (oil, sugar, spices), as well as some beach toys. There is a nice amount of space in the cozy layout of the house, and the outdoor shower helped us keep a lot of the sand out of the house. There's real & wonderful art on the walls, and a grill--truly: What else could you want?

We loved the location of this little house. It was so quiet, not too far from the bike trail and near a little pond. Mary was very prompt in replying to any queries, and a fair and upfront host. The patio was well cared for, the kitchen really well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The bedrooms on the main level were charming and although the decor was not new or modern this suited us perfectly with young children, and it was all clean. My sister was in a bigger, lighter, "prettier" house but theirs did not have half the practical items that this rental comes with! You can tell that this house is somewhere that is looked after by its guests. The extra single bedroom in the basement with the sofa bed in the next section is not as welcoming as the main part of the house and I'd consider it best used just as a stop gap for a night or so. But it's useful to have the small bathroom there. And the laundry facilities were good. Upstairs we used air conditioning on really hot days with efficient new units in each room. The outside shower works well. We'd definitely consider coming again.

Enjoyed another relaxing vacation here at this serene and private oasis with the family last summer. The house is well maintained by the owner, Mary, giving it that home away from home feel that you will not get from other rentals on the Cape. The location is ideal for either exploring the Outer Cape up to Provincetown, or exploring the other way towards Chatham, Harwich, or Hyannis. The towns of Brewster and Orleans are close by too, offering great restaurants, shops, and more. We love to cycle on the Cape Cod Rail Trail which is quite near. As for the property itself, we enjoy grilling on the outdoor patio, washing up in the outdoor shower after those great Cape beach days, and relaxing in the large backyard well enclosed with beautiful trees for privacy. Truly a gem of the Cape. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks, Mary.

Spent a blissful summer week in this private and serene oasis in the middle of Cape Cod with the family in 2017. This home is truly a home away from home: warm and welcoming. The location is close to Cape Cod's beaches, the National Seashore, or the Cape Cod Rail Trail being just a mile from Brewster. The house is well maintained, clean, and just the right size for a small family or group of six to enjoy a Cape Cod vacation. And in the summer, the outside patio table is perfect for evening meals after enjoying a day on the Cape. Also, there is a great outdoor shower where one can wash off after a dip in the Atlantic or the Bay. Cannot say enough good things about this location or the owner Mary. Look forward to returning in 2018.

Thanks for letting us stay in your house, which had everything we needed. Great comfort, tranquility of the neighbourhood, great location. Kitchen well equipped. Perfect for a family vacation.

We love Brewster for the bay beaches – Crosby and Linnell were favorites – and the bike paths, all very close to the house. Discovered Seymour and Long Pond’s freshwater beaches. And the Cape Cod National Seashore is exceptional – the dunes, the sea.

We will be heading back home with a restored energy and head full of memories.

This is the ideal house to rest, read, and relax on Cape Cod. It is situated in an idyllic setting, quiet, and close to Brewster, Orleans, and the beaches of your choice. The house itself has a welcoming charm that makes you feel at home even though you are miles away on vacation. Whether you wish to visit the shops of Chatham, cycle on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or enjoy the sands of the National Seashore, this home makes all that possible in the best way. We have enjoyed staying here in the summers since 2010 and look forward with anticipation to doing so again in 2017.

My family stayed here the week of 8/15/15. The house is a bit dated but we found it meticulously clean and well stocked. The kitchen is small but the pictures of all the rooms are quite accurate. The house is on a very quiet street, and the yard is extremely private and very pretty. We loved the proximity to the Rail Trail, Nickerson State Park and the bay beaches of Brewster and Dennis. You can bike to the Rail Trail by cutting through the Ocean Edge resort and never going on any busy streets. Less than 20 minutes by car to Nauset Beach in Orleans if you prefer the ocean. Great neighborhood! Mary was a pleasure to deal with; very detail oriented, great communicator and extremely responsive. We received our security deposit back six days after our vacation ended!

We, 4 adults, spent the 1st week of August 2015 here. The house has more than enough space, and I would recommend it for large families. Everything was clean and worked. The owner was very responsive and provided a lot of information about all the local attractions. Deck, large back yard and outside shower are perfect.

Nickerson State park with its wonderful ponds is within 10 - 15 minutes of driving - the best place to swim. Ocean is 5 minutes but you have to check schedule of tides. Cape Cod is full of small towns with great restaurants, lovely stores and other attractions.

We really liked this vacation week.
Thank you, Mary

As written in the owner's description, this property is in a great Brewster location. The property is fabulous and the outside deck is delightful. Love the outdoor shower after a day at the beach -- great water pressure and good size. I've stayed here with only one friend, but there is space for more. Very comfortable. Grateful for unit AC in the bedrooms this July when the temps were in the high 80's/90's. I've rented in Brewster for decades and was delighted to find this property. Owner is very easy to work with (which I've found is not always the case). Enjoy your stay!

We had a lovely stay at the Birdwatchers Delight home. The house was neat and clean and provided all and more of a vacationers needs. The house is located on a quiet street and close to all Brewster has to offer including bike/run trail, Nickerson Park, Ice cream, etc. We love Brewster and were lucky to stumble across this rental which was affordable and clean and the rental process very easy. Thanks, Mary!

Enjoyed another relaxing summer week on the Cape at this beautiful location in July. The house contains a personal charm and comfort that makes one feel right at home while on vacation. A quiet locale, nice outdoor patio, and wonderful outdoor shower are welcoming features to come back to after the sun, sand, and surf of Marconi Beach, or riding on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or whale-watching out of Providence. Idyllic Cape Cod. Looking forward to returning in 2016! Thank you for sharing your home, Mary.

This is located in our favorite town minutes from the wonderful Brewster Flats. We had an enjoyable time in this comfortable, and well-supplied home. Morning coffee on the deck is missed, for sure. We listened to nature waking with us, and watched them scurry or fly by in search of breakfast. The grounds have enormous rhododendrons and hydrangeas planted on the edge of property and against the foundation. There is a useful shed available for storing bikes, golf clubs, swim boards, and such. The homeowner also has items for renters' use. Inside there are plenty of kitchen supplies, linens and blankets all provided. My girls fell in love with the outdoor shower, and finally wore me down to use it. What was I thinking earlier in the week not getting out there? Quite the experience. My mother-in-law slept on the sleeper sofa due to sensitivity from being downstairs, and found the mattress very comfortable. The renter is asked to broom-clean the house, and launder and fold all bed linens before checking out by 10 am. We hated leaving. It's a sweet house in an ideal location.

We arrived around midnight on Sunday and checked into the house with no problem. To our surprise, there were several flashlights placed at various doorways (ie, front door, patio door, etc.). Those flashlights surely came in handy when you came in at midnight. The house and rooms were exactly as the photos and description. There were plenty of towels and linens. The kitchen was fully loaded. The rooms and bathroom were clean. A beautiful deck for a morning coffee. The outdoor shower is a plus for beach days! The house is conveniently located close to beaches, ponds, and shopping. We enjoyed sun-bathing and clamming at the nearby beaches; biked on the CCRT with a dip in Long Pond; and went on a kayak trip in Nauset marsh. A lot of things to do!!! It was one of the most relaxing and memorable stays for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children).

My family spent one week here. It is clean and peaceful with a greenery surrounded deck for breakfast and dinner. We also enjoyed the big, private back yard and the outdoor shower. While off the beaten path, it is conveniently located for ponds, beaches, grocery shopping, and Cobies (delicious fried clams, broiled seafood, and ice cream). We were very happy with this haven.

A very tranquil spot with only the chatter of birds to disturb you, yet very close to the beach and facilities of Brewster. Comfortable bedrooms. We loved the outdoor shower, appreciated the WIFI and relished the proximity of Cliff Pond for swimming. The Cape Cod cycle trail is easily accessed from here too.

My wife and I were thrilled to stay here for a week and enjoy the quiet, relaxing home, sitting on the outside porch either for breakfast or late dinner as the sound of birds filled our ears, and taking walks about the tree covered property. The location is excellent. A short drive to P-Town or Truro beaches but also plenty of local seashore and ponds and forest walks to take in nearby. The house is very clean and well kept with all the modern amenities, making it a relaxing and comfortable get-away for urban dwellers like us! Thank you!

The house is well equipped & nicely furnished. The grounds are private & alive with the sounds of birds. The deck is relaxing to sit & observe nature. A very quiet neighborhood, yet easy access to points of interest & shopping.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week long retreat & have nothing but good memories of our stay.

We had a truly relaxing vacation. The location was so peaceful and the back yard was very private and secluded. The house itself had all the necessities and was very comfortable. Very convenient location.

We had an amazing time in Cape Cod. The house was perfect for our family of four including a baby. Everything we need was provided and our girls loved the outside shower. We were happy to stay in Brewster. It was a convenient location to visit the Cape.

Our family truly enjoyed this house! It was a nice, clean comfortable spot to come home to after a day at the beach, on the bike path, or exploring the mudflats. It was well equipped with everything that we needed for the week! Located on a nice quiet street, very peaceful location, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the summer in Brewster! Thanks so much for opening up your home to us!

We had a wonderful stay at the house in Brewster. We felt like we were in the middle of the forest with all the beautiful wildlife and waking up to the sound of birds singing. The house had everything we needed. We loved the outside shower. My 5 year old son wants to live there. Would thoroughly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Everything was as described by the owner, and there was every amenity we needed. The deck was great for breakfast and dinners and our kids and grandkids loved the big back yard and birds and little animal. The owner provided great maps so everything was easy to find. We have stayed at other properties on the Cape but this was the best.

The house is well equipped and very clean. It had everything we needed to enjoy the week. We liked the the private yard and the location's proximity to Nickerson State Park.

My husband and our 6 year old son stayed in your home and we loved it! The house was very clean and had everything in it you would need.

I spent 3 weeks in this special location during summer 2011. Owner's description on this site is accurate. She provides comprehensive information about the rental and the location as you make plans. The outdoor deck and property are wonderful. The neighborhood is very quiet (a plus for me) and not far from HWY 6A. Bike trail and Nickerson are also close. I've rented in some of the townhouse/condo developments -- this was a better choice for me -- even though it is "older". All new windows, AC in 2 bedrooms, more TV than I wanted/needed, wireless worked perfectly. I will definitely stay here again.

We spent a lovely week in the house. It suited us very well. We were very pleased to find a full range of kitchen pans and implements.

thanks – we loved it here! the yard was a HUGE hit with the kids… great beach days at Crosby Landing and Marconi. our 11 year old daughter saw her first shooting star at Nauset Beach this summer. thanks for the memories and dreams

We did make it back to enjoy your lovely house again… two weeks were definitely better than one!

We had a lovely time here. it was brilliant to be so close to the beaches and ponds. the kayak was well-used and we had lots of fun in it. the deck was perfect for bbq…

The house is great and the yard beautiful.

We had a wonderful week in your warm house… appreciated our suppers outside and all the birds, especially the cardinals

thank you - we had a wonderful vacation - everything was super!

so secluded, so comfortable, so well–appointed!

What an enchanting haven! getting bird seed was definitely worth it...

This is our first week back as empty nesters and your lovely house was just what we were looking for to capture the lovely spirit of Brewster and the Cape. We feel lucky to have found it!

I love all the birds around the house!

Visiting South Beach in Chatham was great fun. A lovely house for a family/holiday celebration!

Our vacation was heaven. Thank you!

The house was spotless and well-appointed. We lacked for NOTHING! We loved the apple trees, the deck and grill. We’re all sad to leave your wonderful house and beautiful Brewster...

Your home is warm and comfortable and made for a memorable visit. Our time here flew by – we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, proximity to the bike trail and all that Nickerson Park has to offer. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked!
