A Very Inviting Property....
September 2019

The property was perfectly sized for a vacationing family of five. Enough room for comfort yet compact enough that we were not "over housed". We had what we needed to prepare for days spent at the beach without having to spend a lot of time getting the house back in order.

The screened porch was our favorite room for family gatherings. During what was a hot summer week it was a place of comfort with a cooling breeze to enjoy breakfasts and dinners. For sleeping the air conditioners and fans were adequate to ensure a good nights rest to get ready for the following day outdoors.

The grounds are well kept and the neat plantings, the enclosing conservation land, the bunnies, hummingbirds and minimal traffic on the street make it seem the property is distant from the attractions and businesses on the Cape. That is deceiving as Nauset Farms is a short walk away and Orleans is less than a five minute car ride to keep you supplied. The seashore is an easy bike ride, why pay for parking?

Finally we felt safe as a family at the property. The kids rode their bikes on the quiet street or up to the store for treats without our concern. Neighbors all said "Hello" and Barbara and Jim seem to have good relations with them to ensure things are "kept an eye on".

This property was a big part of our having a really enjoyable Cape vacation.

Nice sand bar for kids to swim on. Great view of the Atlantic. Plenty of parking. Shuttle to beach was not an issue. We packed a lot of gear and they run frequently enough that you do not feel delayed in getting to the beach. In fact the shuttle made us leave the beach in a timely manner so that we were not rushed for dinner reservations by over staying at the beach. Pick this beach on a night you have dinner plans and a set schedule. Suggest that when going to this beach set up to the left when entering on to the shore. I think there are more biting flies on the right side of the beach closer to the marshes.
