Description

Description

The three bedroom, two bath, spacious, mid century modern home is hidden on over an acre of shrubs and low trees. A 7 minute stroll takes you to Carleton Shores, uncrowded, private beach. When you have lots of gear drive to the parking area then a two minute walk down the path. The large living room has a seating area for conversations, TV and bird watching; or choose another spot to play games or read a book; or head out the slider onto the west deck with a cup of coffee at the bistro table. The cathedral ceilinged dining area opens to the east deck with outdoor dining and seating. The cozy kitchen has everything you need for a quick meal or a big dinner. Use the gas grill outside for burgers and more. The first floor bedroom has a queen bed and is adjacent to a full bath/shower and an office/laundry room. Two sunrise view bedrooms and a full bath/shower are on the second floor. The green bedroom has a pair of twin beds set up as a king or separate them. The yellow bedroom has two twin beds and twin bunk beds. Both bedrooms have blackout shades if sunrise is too early. Go to sleep with the sound of waves on the beach. There is a two car garage and parking for an additional car outside.

It is a short drive west down the Old King's Highway to historic Sandwich Village or go a little farther to the supermarkets, restaurants, and ice cream shops near Sandwich harbor and the canal. Head east on Old King's Highway to historic Barnstable or to Hyannis with its many shops and eateries.

Bicycle in the neighborhood or beside the Cape Cod Canal, the Cape Cod Rail Trail, or the Barnstable conservation area. Access to Scorton Creek, for great kayaking and fishing, is less than a mile away. A men's ten-speed and women's 3 speed bicycles and a few beach chairs and surf toys are available for your use.

The kitchen is well equipped with pots (including a 12 quart one), pans, utensils, dishes, cutlery and glassware

You can supply your own linens or use the ones in the house, provided they are returned to the appropriate closet in a clean and neat condition.

The Perfect Place

We had a wonderful time. The house is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The beach is a short walk from the house. You can also drive and park with the provided pass. My boys enjoyed the beach. They found hermit crabs as the tide was going out in the evening. There are lovely restaurants a short drive away, but we mostly ate at the house with the supplied grill though. We enjoyed relaxing in the large living room. The house has everything you could possibly want.

So Relaxing!

We have recently returned from our fifth stay at Helen's Dream House. This is a great property. I love the quiet, peaceful privacy of the neighborhood AND it's so close to the beach. The house itself (especially the kitchen) has everything you need. It's open and airy and not at all cluttered. Whenever I'm here, I'm totally relaxed and happy as a clam! And you will be too!

Great Experience

Had a great time with my family here. Close to the water and in a quiet neighborhood. In very low tides the sandbar off the beach is very large and shallow, which makes for some nice beach adventures. Chairs for the beach and grill were available which came in handy. The owners are very easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the great review, Chris! We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your vacation at Helen's Dream House. This was a fantastic year for the low tide sandbars. We can thank the beach-fill on a 2,500-foot-long section of Town Neck Beach completed in March for the great sandbars.

Perfect house greatly cared by the owners

We rented this house for 3 weeks. The house is spacious, clean and perfectly located in walking distance (5 min) from the ocean beach. The surroundings are great - there are many birds and friendly animals (rabbits, squirrels, etc.) around the house. The house can easily fit up to 6-8 people. The key point is that house is really "smart" - the owners set up all in such a comfortable manner that you can easily guess where any required stuff is located. The house manual is not even needed since it is enough to use your intuition to find everything - owners really cared about the people who are going to rent it. show more show less

A wonderful stay so close to the beach!

We had a wonderful family stay at the house, which was roomy, bright, and comfortable with attractive hardwood floors. The property is beautiful, and is located in a very peaceful and attractive setting. It was great to have the private beach so close to the house, and to have two private association tennis courts available for our use. Janette was a pleasure to deal with at all times. We would not hesitate to rent the house again!!

Great Vacation!

I have just returned from my second stay at this spacious Sandwich beach home. The house is great. It is very well equipped with big windows and lots of them! It's in a very quiet neighborhood, but only a seven minute walk to the beach. The owner is very helpful and accommodating and answered all of my inquiries in a very timely fashion. A wonderful vacation!

We had a great time on the Cape. Travelled a lot. Even had good days when it rained!!!
First time in Cape Cod but certainly not the last.

Beautiful vacation

We enjoyed the comfort of the home, the environment and its proximity to the sea at a walking distance.
We suggest to inform tenants the need for swimming shoes because of rocks on the beach and at the entrance to the sea. We highly recommend renting this house.

More About Peter or Janette Sergio￬
Peter and Janette inherited Helen’s Dream House upon Peter’s father’s death in 2009. So let us tell you a bit about its history.

Helen and Lou were introduced to Cape Cod vacationing by spending time with friends at their Mashpee bay front camp in the 1950s. While searching for a place of their own, they found this lot in Carleton Shores. After years of saving, and Helen’s return to work as a physical therapist, they built their own house in the early 1970s. Lou and particularly Helen enjoyed visits from family and many friends until her death in 1995. Lou kept Helen’s dream house carefully maintained but seldom used after her death. Helen and Lou’s favorite time was when their family all converged on Helen’s Dream House for a week together, going to the beach, visiting Heritage Plantation and going to the Sandwich bandstand for concerts.

We enjoy being able to care for and share this home as Helen loved to do. We don’t have the ability to use it as often as Helen did, so we decided to share it by renting to those who would like to experience vacationing on Cape Cod. We have found that multi generational family vacations and two families sharing have really enjoyed Helen’s dream house as we have done.
