For 10 years now our family has been spending our summer vacation week on Cape Cod. We've tried numerous locations from Falmouth to Harwichport. But this year (2022) in West Yarmouth. we found the most ideal, centrally located home for our family vacation. A classic traditional Cape home that has been updated with all the current day amenities – central air, updated bathrooms (2), new kitchen / appliances, outdoor shower, gas grille, washer/dryer – it lacked for nothing. Four good sized bedrooms, a dining room and large family living room complete the inside. If I tell you it took more than 3 minutes to walk across the street and down a private path to enjoy the serenity of Lewis Bay that would be because the 7-year olds, dragging their own boogie boards, liked to stop and smell the roses and pick up every shell along the way. Lewis Bay is ideal for the younger children. Calm, sandy (although they prefer to wear water shoes), entertaining with plenty of passing ferries and boats to observe sailing by and plenty of shells to add to their collections. Convenient because you can walk back to the house for lunch and safely leave you belongings at the beach. After a day at the beach the fenced in yard is more than large enough for the kids to burn off their excessive energies. Should you prefer ocean style beaching there are multiple choices just a short drive away too. Speaking of driving, downtown Hyannis (restaurants, shops, JFK Museum to name a few) are all just a few minutes away and all other Cape activities can easily be reached from here too. We can't wait until we can figure out our vacation schedule for next year to book another week – maybe 2!show moreshow less
