This has been our family home for 49 years, and 2016 is the 13th summer we have rented to families. Well behaved pets considered.

We also purchased for 2018 a new 4 burner Weber Genesis II oversized grill with stainless steel components.

One of our 2016 guests described our home as 'Perfection on the Cape'. They wrote: ''We cannot say enough about the convenience of the location, charm of the house, and hospitality of the owner. We love to watch the sunset each night from the deck of this lovely Cape Classic home. You can walk to a pretty tidal beach in about 2 minutes or take a short stroll to the lovely private white sand beach. The kitchen is sizable and fully equipped with everything you need. The house has added sleeping quarters in a loft and basement if you're hosting extended family. The house is clean, the beds are comfortable and even the pool lounges are lovely. It's clear this house is well loved, with family photos and interesting books and artwork all around. We hope to return for many years to come and are thankful to the homeowners for their continued hospitality. You will not be disappointed!'' show more show less
