What a FANTASTIC stay!

Review Submitted: May 14, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2007
This was the trip of a lifetime, and it would not have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else. The 5 of us had more room than we knew what to do with. The boys tried out different bedrooms on different nights, and found all of them to be perfect. Each has its own unique style, and once they stopped getting lost (quite humerous!) they were able to play and have a grand time going up one staircase and down another.
Our three children had a fantastic time running around on the lawn and we had a great time exploring the beach for shells.
I have never felt so comfortable anywhere away from home. We were able to "move" right in for our one-week stay, and the only thing I regret is not being able to stay longer. There are books and toys for the kids (the owner even gave them a football), sheets, towels, and everything else you need to feel immediately at home. It is clean, extremely well-kept, and enough to make any family or group want to move in for good!

The owner went out of his way to meet us on our timeframe and explain everything to us. He was fantastic.

The property is close to EVERYthing, including Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower II.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful of a time we had, and how much was added to our vacation by staying in this home. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone going to visit the area! Everyone I know is jealous after seeing our vacation pictures...We will return if we ever have the opportunity.
THANK YOU for adding so much to our Thanksgiving trip, Jim!

family gathering

Review Submitted: July 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was the best equipped home we have ever seen. The location was great - close to many historical attractions. The decks and yard were perfect for 4 families with children of many different ages.

We loved the kayaks and the view! We would recommend this property for large families who are interested in a combination vacation of relaxation and education.

My husband's family and mine all got together for a big vacation. The house was perfect for us. There were 9 children and the BIG YARD was a great thing. They spent so much time outside playing ball and running around. We used the kayaks and had lots of fun. I would recommend this house to any family!!!!!!!

Great location for lots of sightseeing and adventures in southern New England!

Thank you Jim and Yuni! Beautiful property with all the amenities! Had a wonderful weekend and made use of large back yard, kayaks, and back deck (great for grilling with fantastic view of ocean). Everyone in our group (from AZ to DC) raved about the place. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone interested in having a great time in a gorgeous location. We will definitely be renting from Jim again!

Wedding/Family Reunion

Review Submitted: October 8, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Jim and family,Thankyou for letting us rent your Harborfront Estate! We rented this Incredible Property 10/1/08-10/5/08 to be in the area for Our sons wedding.The home was more than perfect,comfortable beds,lovely decor,plenty of towels,sheets,dishes, glasses.Everyone enjoyed their stay,we hosted a Bride & Grooms family dinner and even though the weather was cool we had plenty of room in such an impressive home. We ordered cooked lobsters from Woods Seafood on the Harbor, elegant cakes and appetizers from the Cornerstone Cafe to add with our traditional homemade dishes.The elegance of the home made the dinner a night to remember. Best of all the home is very close to town,has beautiful harborfront views from three bedrooms and decks, meticulous grounds.and an impressive courtyard entrance.The Guest book was filled with many compliments and momories letting the owners know what great hosts they are,I'm surprised there's not more reviews. Thankyou again for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your unbelievable home it was a pleasure!

Excellent place

BK & extended family Philadelphia, Montana, Boston
Review Submitted: September 9, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Really is a terrific place, and looks as advertised. Lawn is huge and great for kids. No real place to swim @ their portion of beach, but good for launching kayaks, etc. -- and a nice beach just down the road. Good sleeping options in the house, and it was perfect for our large group (14) of adults and kids.

Owner was very nice and helpful on arrival and departure.
Owner's Response: I am really pleased that our guest from Philadelphia gave us a review rating of 5/5 and titled their review of our property as an "Excellent Place." I just wanted to clarify the swimming arrangements at our private beach. Swimming can be accomplished at our private beach and many people have done so. But since there is a 12 foot rise and fall of the tides in New England, swimming time has to be scheduled to coincide with the height of the tide. At high tide the water comes right up to our stairs so the beach disappears for approximately one hour. Conversely, at low tide, the water in the harbor pretty much drains out for two hours. Many people like this because they can go clamming at low tide, kayaking at high tide, and swimming or fishing at mid tide. Some guests have gone fishing right off our beach or in one of our kayaks and have caught some good-sized blue fish or stripers. I have myself on many occasions. Next year as an option for my guest I will have available a small Carolina skiff with a small outboard motor moored right in front of our property. For a small fee they can rent our boat for the day and tour Plymouth harbor or go outside the harbor and explore some of our secluded pristine sandy beaches that you can only get to by boat or 4x4.

Review Submitted: August 19, 2006 Date of Stay: August 2006
This truly beautiful vacation home is clean, very nicely furnished, comfortable and arranged so that it is quiet for sleeping and has areas affording privacy. The deck is large and perfect for dining, sunbathing or enjoying the beautiful water view. The availability of beaches, ponds, and many great restaurants and fun activities is an additiional bonus. It is the perfect place for family vacations and reunions.
