The Perfect Family Vacation House
Review Submitted: July 22, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
My family rented this house along with our in-laws. Altogether, we had 3 seperate families; one with small children, one with 2 babies. The house is absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. We felt as if we were the first people ever to stay in this house. The kitchen is a chef's dream. The living room is spacious, with plenty of room for the little ones to run around. The backyard is quiet and secluded and the ping-pong table in the garage is a nice feature. We brought several bikes with us and they were easily stored in the garage. The house is very close to the rail trail and to Skaket beach.
A note for families with children: Skaket Beach is the nicest family beach I've ever seen. It's on the bay side so the water is calm and not too cold. It also has a wide flat tidal area, and stays shallow a very long way out from shore. My 3 adn 5 year old kids loved this beach, and we usually left the car home and rode bikes to the beach.
The house is very close to the bike path and to Rte. 6, making day trips either up or down-cape very easy. There are lots of good restaurants nearby in Orleans and Eastham. There's also a Shaw's and a CVS within a mile of the house.
We rented, but didn't end up using the cottage. It's very nice, with a BR, LR, and a small kitchen. Perfect for a couple or single.
When we start planning next year's vacation, this house will be on top of our list.
