Breezy Brewster hilltop home, ideal for 2 families
Brewster Vacation Rental - ID 21618

This home was just right for our family of five, but could have easily handled two more. Great location near Nickerson, Brewster beaches, and Blueberry Pond. We loved the house and location!

Our extended family came together to visit our 93-year-old father, who lives in senior housing in S. Yarmouth after decades of living in the family house on the Lower Cape. We were thrilled to discover that we had rented a house that felt just like home. The house welcomes you as soon as you enter, with a beautiful stairway and spacious living room that opens onto a wonderful three-season porch. We did a lot of cooking in the kitchen, which had absolutely everything we needed to prepare any meal. It is clear that a happy family once lived in this home, as it contains so many small (and big! There is even an upright piano!) items that make a house feel loved. I work in horticulture, so I really enjoyed the yard, which had blooming roses, dogwood, iris and weigela. Finally, the house was exceptionally clean and the beds were comfortable. The carpeting also made the home seem warm and inviting. It was an even greater bonus that the pooch got to come along! The location in Brewster was quiet, and the neighbors I met as I walked the dog were great people. We enjoyed the nearby beaches for long walks. It was wonderful that the house sits high enough to capture a view of the Bay from upstairs! Thank you so much, Anne and Chuck, for sharing your terrific house! By far the nicest home I have ever rented! show more show less

We rented this home for several months during the off season, and it was a delight. When you walk in the front door, you feel at home in this classic older cape. The love of the Cape is evident in the owner's artwork and deco with many personal touches. The kitchen is well stocked for all your baking, cooking and entertainment needs. The unique layout of the home provides privacy on each floor for two families, each with their own bath.

During early fall, we were able to take advantage of the spacious three-season room off the kitchen, with views overlooking the tranquil yard. The setting and property are ideal. We enjoyed listening to the chorus of song birds in the morning and the parade of turkeys in the afternoon. The home is located in a very quiet, very desirable neighborhood with the bike path at the bottom of the hill. It is a pleasant walk or bike ride to Nickerson State Park or the bay beach on Linnell Landing. Thank you, Chuck and Anne, for sharing your home. show more show less

Thoroughly enjoyable first stay at this property. Owners are tremendously responsive; on our second morning the coffeemaker cracked - owners allowed us to replace and wrote us a check for the cost; it was waiting for us when we returned home. Home itself is well furnished, very comfortable for two families, great kitchen for preparing simple to complex meals. Owners allowed us to bring our boxer, and the home was spacious enough so the dog was never underfoot. Plenty of fans and the hilltop treed location helped cool the home - we did not miss AC at all. Enjoyed outside dining, outside shower with plenty of hot/cold water, access to Blueberry Pond for swimming and fishing and easy access to the bike trail - rode to Cobie's for dinner and ice cream several times. Very safe neighborhood for our children (ages 11-13) to walk and bicycle. We definitely intend to stay again. show more show less

We have vacationed in this home for the last few years and I just booked it again for this summer! The house is very clean and very comfortable. We stayed with another family and there was plenty of room for everyone. It is close to the beach and also just up the hill from the Cape Cod Rail Trail which is great for biking, running and walking. The owners are great to work with, and you get the feeling that they truly love this home. We can't wait for summer!

Nice hilltop older home where the breeze never stops. Room for the entire family in this open and airy house. Huge refrigerator/freezer/ice maker side-by-side, nice gas stove-top and electric oven, also, nice newer dishwasher. The screened-in porch is huge and comfortable. There are 2 big bedrooms upstairs, one with a comfy queen bed, and the other with 2 twin mattresses on wooden bed frames suitable comfort-wise and lengthwise (with head & footboards) for smaller kids. Also upstairs is a pretty, vintage, aqua tiled bathroom with a huge and unique, square tub/shower.
Downstairs there is a pretty, pale yellow, tiled bathroom, with tub/shower, along with 2 bedrooms off the same hallway, one smaller room with a comfy sofa-bed, the other large room with 2 comfy twin beds. All bedrooms have adequate closet & bureau storage. There is a laundry room right off of the kitchen and doors separating all areas, which gives any little children or family dogs limits to where they can venture, which is great! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful too. Enjoy! show more show less

This was a lovely location for our family week's vacation. The house was clean and quaint, very homey, with all the amenities one would expect and more. I would have liked to bring my kayak, because Blueberry Pond was awesome, although a short drive from the house. I swam in it a lot, and the kids fished. Brewster bay beaches were also nice and close, as well as the Brewster stores, restaurants, etc. The kids' favorite activity was going to the bay beaches at low tide! We even enjoyed their firepit to made smores. Thank you to Chuck, a pleasure to deal with!

My familly has vacationed in this home for many years and we have many fond memories. The house was extensively renovated last year including a major upgrade of the kitchen applicances. While not on the beach, Ellis and Crosby landings on the bay side are a very short drive and Nauset Beach on the Atlantic side (15 min.) is a special place. We always have a swim after a trip to the beach in Blueberry Pond and it is a serene and quiet spot to relax. We also like to go to Nickerson State Park (5 min.) where you can rent sailboats on a larger lake. If you like to bicycle, the Rail Trail is accessible from the neighborhood.

Brewster is a great location and the adjoining towns of Orleans, Chatham and Harwich offer many, many options for shopping, dining and family activities. Lunch at Cobies (5 min.) is a must and a stuffed clam with chowder at the Land Ho in Orleans is to die for. The Lobster Claw in Orleans is always a special treat for a family. We love the ballpark in Orleans and if you like baseball, check out the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

The Bischoff family is the best and this place is a bargain. The rear sun room is where you will hang out (breakfast, reading, parties) and the home has a very comfortable feel. I highly recommend this property. show more show less
