Oceanfront Condo, Private Beach & Panoramic Views - NO TAX
Hyannis Vacation Rental - ID 15894

My family has been renting on the Cape for 40+ years and I've stayed at some pretty special places, but this one is at the top of the list. The views are stunning, from both inside and outside the condo. And you literally can't stay any closer to the ocean unless you stay on a boat! You're also only about a mile from Main Street if you choose to go into town (I rarely did, because I had everything I wanted and needed right where I was).

The condo is bright and airy and has lots of mirrors so you can even see the ocean if you've got your back to it! It felt cozy, yet also expansive; the large deck was like an extra room. The photos don't show the good-sized closet or how spacious the bedroom is. Also, there's ample cabinet/shelf space in the hallway. Alice has provided all the essentials for inside and outside the condo and it's very neatly organized so that nothing feels cluttered or cramped. Her decorating style is light, airy and whimsical without being overdone. The furniture is comfortable and the shower gets nice and hot and has great water pressure (a rarity on the Cape!).

The condo was exceptionally clean--which was very important to me since I stayed there during the pandemic. I especially appreciated that Alice told me prior to my arrival everything would be disinfected. She even accommodated my allergies to certain cleaning agents. Communicating with her was a pleasure, as she is a genuinely gracious person, as well as a wonderful landlady. The tenants in the other condos were friendly, quiet and respectful.

Because of its proximity to the beach, this first-floor property is perfect for all ages and mobility levels. I've never stayed so close to a harbor before and I was enchanted by the ferries and wind/kite surfers. Other highlights included having the beach "all to myself" for early morning walks, watching the sunrise from bed, stargazing from the deck, having osprey as neighbors, eating at the picnic table after taking a swim...the list goes on and on. (As I said to another tenant one rainy day, "It may be raining in paradise, but it's *still* paradise.")

Unless you set the time on the microwave, you won't find a clock in Alice's condo--which makes perfect sense, because you will love it there so much you'll want time to stand still.

Love the sound of waves lulling you to sleep at night, enjoy a glass of wine on a deck with a beautiful view, want to enjoy a spectacular sunset, then this is the place for you.

This place is located close to downtown Hyannis, the Hyannis Port (where there are sightseeing cruises and boats to take you out fishing) and many restaurants.

Dealing with Alice the homeowner to get this rental was great, she made it very easy for me and would make me think of renting this place again. show more show less

We stayed here for Memorial Day weekend and had a wonderful experience! The views from the condo are incredible - ocean views from every window and an amazing deck right on the private beach. The condo itself is clean, cute, and comfortable and stocked with anything you would need.

The location is also fantastic - you are a short drive from the bars/restaurants on the harbor and Main St. We even walked (less than 1 mile) to the harbor when the weather was nice.

Alice is a wonderful host and was extremely responsive and accommodating. She was very quick to answer any emails we had with questions leading up to our stay and had some great local recommendations as well. Thank you for sharing your condo with us. We can't wait to come back! show more show less

I've been vacationing on the Cape since I was little, but this year I had my most memorable trip there due our stay at this breathtaking, waterfront condo and its priceless panoramic view. We feel like we discovered Cape Cod's hidden treasure, cleverly tucked away at the end of bustling Ocean Street.

When we first walked into the condo, not only did we notice how clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated it was, but we were astounded by the encompassing vista of the ocean, seen from every angle, making us feel like we were outside. The ocean became the decor. The deck, however, was the most desirable part: it overlooked the ocean so we never wanted to leave it, even if a private beach was just a few steps away. We were and still are in love, love, love with it. Tasty meals, fresh cocktails and a good book is all we needed to complement the rip-roaring view. On lazier days, we waltzed down the Kalmus Beach parking lot, next door, and grabbed some delicious burgers, fried clams and lobster rolls at the Snack Bar. We so appreciated the breeze that the location afforded us, naturally getting rid of any critters. The mantric sound of the ocean, at night, lulled us to sleep as we thought about what a perfect end it was to such a fulfilling day.

To top it all off, Alice, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She was responsive, accommodating and informative. We’re already working out our return next summer. The only down side to this vacation was that we eventually had to leave the condo...although I’m pretty sure I left a part of me there.

Thank you, Alice, for sharing a piece of paradise with us and making us buzz with happiness! show more show less

My husband and I stayed here for a winter rental. 8 months total. Can only describe this rental as Paradise ...a little piece of Heaven. Condo was immaculate and has everything you need. The views are incredible. Beach all around you. The nature was magnificent...sunsets every night. Fell in love with this spot. The owners are wonderful people, just a phone call away if you need anything. Alice is such a sweetheart...makes you feel right at home. I would give this rental a 10+++ and would definitely come back. Awesome place!! show more show less

We loved our stay in Hyannis. The views from this rental are stunning and it's a few minutes drive from lots of restaurants, etc. The unit was clean and well stocked and just steps from the beach. There is no air conditioner but had fans that helped to cool. The deck is incredible and we would definitely go back.

I can't recommend this property enough, especially off-season. The location is perfect, with the water viewable from all windows, and the private beach literally steps from the back deck. Alice is a wonderful host, friendly, accommodating and easy to reach. My friend and I will definitely be back to this gorgeous spot!

We had a wonderful time! Our first time in Cape Cod...and not the last! The view was gorgeous, and the house was clean and cozy. Loved it !

My husband and I were looking for a place to unwind and enjoy nature, and we found it here. This is an unbelievable location. Right on the beach, we were mesmerized by the beauty of Cape Cod. A short 10 minute drive takes you into town where you can get just about anything you forgot to bring from home. The condo itself is comfortable, clean, and stocked with all basic needs. It was a pleasure dealing with the owner, who was responsive and accommodating. We will definitely come back again!

I just had to go to this website to look again at our favorite rental spot in anticipation of our upcoming July vacation. This year (2015) will be our 8th time returning for a week-long stay. I can't imagine being anywhere else since it now feels like home, and we have been spoiled by the location. The large deck has three steps and you're in the sand ! Then there is another set of stairs that lead you down to your own private beach. If you prefer a public beach, well, you have that too! Kalmus Beach is located right next to the private beach, so you can go back and forth between the two. We basically live on the deck and for good reason. The view is amazing!! Sailboats, swimmers, paddle boarders, wind surfers, sea birds and beautiful sunsets are just some of the daily entertainment from this vantage point.

Downtown Hyannis has some fabulous restaurants, with more being added every year. We have our favorites (Alberto's, The Naked Oyster, Pizza Barbone and Columbo's, just to name a few) but we are looking forward to checking out any new additions.

Another nice feature is that the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket is just up the road from this condo as well as some dinner cruises, fishing excursions, sightseeing boats and a pirate ship for the kids.

The condo is always clean when we arrive and has the little things you may have forgotten (ie, ironing board, hair dryer).

We are so happy we found this hidden jewel on the Cape! show more show less
