Where best to drink your morning coffee? Outside on the deck. Where best to enjoy an afternoon drink? Outside on the patio. Where best for the kids to run and get their beans out? Outside in the yard. Where best to cool off after a sandy day at the beach? The outdoor shower. Finally, where is the best place to enjoy grilled fish or a boiled lobster? Outside by the grill.

About Becky Fischer: I've worked for WeNeedaVacation since 2003, providing photography, video, and consultation services to vacation rental homeowners. Over the years, I've photographed more than 700 homes across the Cape and Islands. My husband and I moved to Brewster with our three children in 2006. I grew up outside Boston, spent childhood summers on Nantucket, and was married in Orleans. Some of my favorite things about Cape life include walking the CCRT, taking deep breaths at the beach, discovering new coffee shops, and supporting our schools and community events.
