Helen's Dream House, short walk to bayside beach
East Sandwich Vacation Rental - ID 21734

We spent two weeks here; the first week with my brother's family and the second week with just us. For the first week, we had plenty of space with the cousins all enjoying sharing the room with the bunk beds and the two twins. The kitchen is compact, but we made it work for our meals while also grilling most nights.

The best part of the house is the location. It really can't be beat. You can hear the waves from the lovely yard or one of two porches.There is nice privacy and the bird watching was fantastic. The walk to the private association beach is very short and it was never crowded. As most of the other reviews said- water shoes are a must as it is very rocky near the shoreline, but there was plenty of sand for the kids to play in near the dunes. It was also a treat to bring wood down to the beach and make a fire for smores one night.

The lighting in the house was gorgeous and you have water views from one bedroom upstairs and a stunning view of the stars and moon from the other upstairs bedroom. Overall, it was a great stay and the owners were responsive with any requests. There was plenty of beach chairs, a beach cart and the kids loved the outdoor shower. show more show less

My family and friends spent one week at Helen's Dream House and our stay has been great. The house was clean, amazing location near the beach and kids friendly. I highly recommend it.

We greatly enjoyed our stay! So relaxing and such a short walk to a lovely beach. Communication with the home owner has been excellent. I would recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay at Helen's house. The place is neat, house was clean and neighborhood is beautiful and a pleasure to explore.

Large back yard and privacy, outdoor deck is nice to sit down and enjoy dinner or breakfast.

The house was perfect. It has all you need in terms of space and location. The neighborhood is quite, safe and friendly.

The beach can be reached by walking no more than 7 minutes or you can park in the resident reserved parking spaces if you need to carry lots of stuff! The beach is very spacious!

You can also visit many other places nearby. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back! The hosts were always available in case we needed them.

This property was just perfect for us. There is more than enough room to spread out and the kitchen was stocked with all utensils and pots we could use. The close proximity to the beach is great. Although the weather was wonderful for the first of November, it was not beach weather and we could not enjoy the water, but we did get to take a walk on the beach. I would most definitely rent this property again. The landlord checked in to make sure all was as expected and was going well. I appreciated the juice and the Cape Cod chips. What a nice treat. A wonderful host. show more show less

We arrived to the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the nearby beach. Such a beautiful welcome from nature. This house had so much room for our reunion of cousins. We spread out in the well-appointed bedrooms. We spent a lot of time around the big, round kitchen table eating and talking. The spacious family room was also extremely comfortable and the large windows let in an abundance of sunshine. The beach was an easy walk down the street. The location just off route 6A made it easily accessible to shopping and dining a few minutes away in either direction. It is clearly evident the homeowners have taken care of their home inside and out. There are plenty of games and books for fun and relaxation. My cousins raved about the home and hope to come back here again next year. show more show less

My wife and I, my son and his wife and my two granddaughters stayed at Helen's Dream House for our summer vacation. There was plenty of room for all of us and we were delighted with the floor plan and the care that Janette and Peter took in ensuring that everything we needed was there for us.The house was clean and inviting. We especially liked sitting on the deck under the umbrella and watching the birds come to the birdbath, and a family of wild turkeys wandered through as well.
/>Getting down to the private beach was an easy walk and if we wanted to take the car, there was a beach pass, so no hassles. The house is located near the center of Sandwich and there are plenty of restaurants near by, so we never got bogged down in heavy traffic during the peak season on the Cape. We were very pleased with our stay and we would not hesitate to recommend this rental to our friends. show more show less

We spent a week at Helen's Dream House. The house itself is perfect. Airy, uncluttered, clean has all necessary supplies including beach chairs, plenty of towels, etc. The beach is a short walk away The furnishing is perfect retro-chic 70s beach house. Had a great time. We were only four but all the bedrooms are nice and would be great for two couples with kids (who get along) to share the bunk room. Water is cold in Cape Cod Bay in late June -- make no mistake -- but we drove across one day to Hyannis to hit the beach (and a minor league ball game) there for a change of pace. Would definitely go back show more show less

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.
