Exceptional Privacy:
This private house is in a quiet, family neighborhood, away from traffic and crowds, yet close enough to all of the excitement of this busy summer resort to enjoy the chaos, and leave it behind when you come 'home'. Enjoy the beach til the sun is too much, then come back to the house and enjoy the private back yard, the perfect mix of sun and shade; pop into the pool for a dip when the mood catches you. Drive 3-4 miles in any of 3 directions for a fully equipped supermarket to BBQ your summer favorites, or choose fabulous fresh seafood restaurants just as close. Ethnic dining or good old fashioned comfort foods at restaurants plush or plain, all within 10-15 minutes. Or bring take out food back to the house to the patios, and enjoy the company of your family and friends in complete privacy and quiet.
Arts? Films? Theater? Music? Nature? Bicycling? :
Your hosts are prepared to share their wide knowledge of the local arts scene with you. Multiple screens for films offer a choice of 12 or more movies within a 10-15 minute drive in Harwich, Dennis & Yarmouth (exit 8, 9, and 11). First rate live theatrical performances, live music, and an abundance of art galleries are nearby- don't hesitate to ask. We can assist you in finding a babysitter if you haven't brought one along.
Nature walks? Bicycling? Swimming?
Your hosts can help you with these as well. We live in the same neighborhood, and we walk, bike and swim daily on trails both marked and hidden. Not only does the Cape offer world famous ocean beaches, but the local beaches on both Nantucket Sound and Cape Cod Bay offer numerous nearby places of both recreational and visual delight. Plus, the fresh water ponds in the immediate vicinity are our secret treasure. Don't hesitate to ask.
About the PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL:
First and foremost, this is a PRIVATE swimming pool, not shared with other properties. Few houses in this part of Cape Cod have pools, and most of those are shared.
Our pool is opened early in May. Thanks to a state of the art PASSIVE SOLAR heating system, and with the assistance of Mother Nature (since SUNNY days are required for that solar heating system to work its' magic), the pool is usually warm enough for swimming by Memorial Day.
The pool is meticulously maintained all through the season for your enjoyment. Automatic skimmer and chlorinator are supplemented by manual vacuuming 3 times weekly, and chemical balances are checked and adjusted 3 times a week or more frequently if needed.
Thanks to the solar heating system, the pool remains viable for swimming through September, and isn't closed until after the Columbus Day holiday if there is demand.
Other Activities:
excellent restaurants, kayaking and canoeing, go karts and bumper cars etc
