Down Cape Escape/Steps to Beach
South Yarmouth Vacation Rental - ID 40539

We're a Cape-loving family who bought this home over 25 years ago as a gathering place for family and friends—and it's been just that ever since. Over the years, we've made countless memories here: beach days that turned into lobster roll dinners on the porch, laughter-filled game nights, sandy feet, sun-kissed faces, and generations growing up under this roof.

Now that we've moved to be closer to our grandchildren, we won't be using the house quite as often—and we'd love to share it with others who can enjoy it as much as we have. This home holds a lot of heart, and we hope you feel the same joy, ease, and connection we've always felt here. Whether you're making new memories or simply soaking up the Cape Cod sun, we're so happy to welcome you.

What is special about this property?
What makes this home so special is how it truly feels like vacation mode the moment you walk in. We love how the house is tucked into a quiet, breezy neighborhood, yet just a short stroll from the beach—you can carry your towel and skip the car!

One of our favorite features is the seamless indoor-outdoor living. Whether it's sipping morning coffee on the sun-drenched front porch, rinsing off in the outdoor shower after a beach day, or enjoying sunset cocktails on the backyard patio couch, there's always a spot to relax and soak in the salty air.

The layout is also a dream for families or friends traveling together. With three full bathrooms (including two en suites upstairs), everyone gets their own space, and the cozy downstairs bedroom is perfect for grandparents or guests who prefer to avoid stairs.

We designed and furnished this home with comfort and simplicity in mind—light-filled, breezy, and unfussy in all the best ways. It's a space meant for unwinding, sharing meals, and making memories by the sea.

What is special about your town?
South Yarmouth is one of Cape Cod's most beloved towns—and for good reason. Located in the heart of the Cape, it offers the perfect blend of classic coastal charm and easy access to everything you want on vacation: beautiful beaches, scenic walking and biking trails, mini golf, ice cream shops, boat rentals, and amazing seafood spots just minutes away.

What truly sets our location apart is that the house is nestled in Gateway Isles, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in South Yarmouth. It's quiet, walkable, and tucked between beautiful saltwater inlets and sandy beaches—a peaceful retreat that still puts you close to all the action. Many homes here are waterfront or just a short walk to the shore, and ours is no exception.

You'll love being able to walk to the beach, then head out for a sunset lobster roll at Skipper Chowder House or ice cream at the iconic Cape Cod Creamery. You're also just a short drive to Bass River, Seagull Beach, Pirate's Cove Mini Golf, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail for biking and exploring.
