Park your car in the sparkling white clamshell driveway at The Hibiscus House, bring in the groceries and you're done. Everything else you need is here.
While the folks back home swelter in the summer heat, you take a leisurely stroll to Colonial Acres Beach. You sip chilled lemonade and feel the cool sand between your toes while you relax in a beach chair.
Seagulls and sailboats delight in the gentle breezes as they zigzag the harbor. Your children splash and play in Lewis Bay, taking a break only when Dad asks them to help him catch minnows and fish in the channel. You feel all your cares float away as you enjoy some summer reading or just sit and relax.
Later, you return to the cottage and take an exhilarating outdoor shower. You satisfy your appetite, that has been peaked by the salt air, by enjoying a sumptuous backyard barbecue.
The Hibiscus House is a short walking distance to several fine casual restaurants which offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. A bagel deli, an ice cream shop, miniature golf, convenience stores, a church and a library are also conveniently located. However, if wanderlust should overtake you, just hop in the car and explore-either way, enjoy your Cape Cod Experience!

The Hibiscus House is a comfortable, bright and light, 2 bedroom ranch style house. The house has maple hardwood floors throughout which is complemented with area rugs.
The bathroom: If you are taller than average or have mobility considerations you may find the toilet placement in our house a tight squeeze. It has not been an issue in 13 years of renting, but please look at the picture of
our bathroom in our listing.
The kitchen and master bedroom (1 Queen bed) and full bath are facing east (backyard) and thus get plenty of morning light. The guest bedroom (1 twin & 1 full size bunkbed) and living room face west and thus get plenty of afternoon light.
We have window ac units in the master bedroom and the living room which are on opposite ends of the house, yet most of our guests find it unnecessary except for the occasional heatwave. Due to the East/West layout and proximity to the shore you will find the cottage is Cape Cod ''bright and breezy'', and we also have fans. In the shoulder season when heating is needed you will love the toasty radiator heat-like having a warm fireplace in every room!
The kitchen with table, is fully equipped with all the utensils, pots & pan, dishware, range/oven, fire extinguisher, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, microwave, blender, thermos - you name it. There wasn't room for a dishwasher - that is manual and dish washing soap and a new sponge and clean dishtowels are always provided. Here you will also find helpful brochures, restaurant menus, a map, supermarket directions, a list of dog friendly beaches, information about ''hidden'' Cape Cod beaches, running routes, and favorite walks, playgrounds, free tennis courts, where to find free parking in Hyannis. etc.
The living room and the guest bedroom both have televisions. Vcrs, Dvd players and stereo (living room only) The house has wifi. And you will find a small library of movies to watch and books to read, as well as games.
Exit to the backyard through the kitchen door and you will find a gas grille with tank and backup gas tank, a charcoal grille (bring your briquettes), a bird feeder, the ever popular hammock, outdoor shower, and a convenient trash bin on the driveway side of the house. The backyard feels fairly private.
Use the bulkhead to enter the basement where you will find the washer and dryer games and sand toys. This is a good place to store your bicycles when not in use. The bulkhead has a padlock.
Our neighborhood (Colonial Acres) has a very friendly community feeling to it - probably our most favorite thing about living here. There are sidewalks all of the way down to Colonial Acres Beach at the end of the street. Free parking, bike racks, sunshine, friendly faces-you will feel right at home.
As an added bonus, Jean and Bob live in the neighborhood and that's convenient should a problem arise. It happens rarely, but when it does, Bob is there to reset that circuit breaker, or troubleshoot the WiFi.
The Hibiscus house is within reach of just about everything--the MidCape is a central location! The island ferries are only 2.5 miles away. Numerous beaches, restaurants, shopping and more are all nearby.
