About Carole or Frank Kaplan

A great friend in college was from Massachusetts; he told me all about Boston and Cape Cod & I fell in love with New England immediately. Summers I worked for Harvard University in Cambridge, Ma and a new world opened up for me. I met my husband on the steps of Widener Library! I taught high school English; we married and settled in the beautiful prep school town of Andover, Ma. Decades later in a new career of interior design, we decided to buy a second home on the coast of Maine-they were happy years overlooking the ocean & the lighthouse. We are ocean lovers. Decades later we sold that house & retired to Vero Beach, Florida & Cape Cod-the warmer climes appealed. We now overlook a Cranberry Bog & walk to the ocean. The house is beautiful & large enough to entertain friends, & family. The city grandkids love the big backyard and deck, the beach & all the kids' theater, museums & min-golf nearby. They also like Grandma's cooking & help as the kitchen is overstocked with cooking gear & has a huge island. They also love their own huge bedroom & bath-something they don't have in the city. We can have memories made with our grandkids. Friends also love to come & share gourmet feasts out on the huge deck, & picking our own flowers from the abundant gardens is another enjoyable activity. Taking walks together into the village, stopping at the Penny Candy Store, or Four Seas Ice Cream, & picking up bargain books at the Library is great fun. It's all about the beach but there is just so much more here to enjoy.We all so love sitting on the big deck overlooking the big yard, the kids playing, and the garden views are beautiful. We feel really fortunate to have this gorgeous home in such a special place.

Carole or Frank Kaplan purchased this house in 2007
Why Carole or Frank Kaplan chose Centerville

We absolutely loved the layout of the house! It is large and has quite separate areas for entertaining and bedroom/bath areas. We looked all over Cape Cod and wanted a fresh, new home with all the comforts like central AC, central vac, alarm system, privacy, lots of light! But we also wanted to be near the beach and near to the convenience of shopping without driving far and wide in traffic. We enjoy traveling and didn't want to take three hours to get to an airport, or to the culture of Boston. (traffic from towns up Cape can be a nightmare). We also don't enjoy the crowds in some of the Cape towns. We have it all here. We love the seasons here and the long growing season for our gardens. We like the spacious rooms-and lots of closets and a private circular driveway-and the openness of the kitchen-family room, dining room and deck for entertaining and gathering of friends and family. This house has it all! My college dream of living in NE, near the great cities of Boston and Cambridge, a home by the shore on Cape Cod all came true!

What makes this house unique

-closer to Boston and Providence (airports, culture)

-very close to the beach

-cozy fires on winter nights

-luxurious living, but comfortable

-lots of room for a large group

-gourmet cooking (top appliances and gear)

-exquisite gardens around house

-privacy

-no crowds

-interior designed interior

-lots of LIGHT (only one room deep-very long house)

-beautiful art, furnishings

-clean!

-Beautifully decorated town with special events over Christmas!

-A wonderful place to 'get away from it all' any season of the year!

We were an extended family of 7 that had the good fortune of finding the Kaplan's house to stay at over Thanksgiving. Not only was the house set up perfectly for all of us, but the kitchen and all it's high end amenities made it that much more enjoyable. The house itself is set on a very private cul-de-sac and the view of the cranberry bog in the back made it even more special. The furnishings are exquisite, even down to the linens! There was not one thing we needed in preparing our Thanksgiving meal that wasn't there. Carole has thought of everything! There is all sorts of information available about the area, and if there is any question that you may have, Carole and Frank are accessible by phone. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to stay at to anyone, the house and area provide something of interest for everyone!

We were so happy to find the house as lovely as depicted in these photos. It was so comfortable that I considered never leaving. Lots of light, space and beauty. Our little dog loved her walks along the bog. We loved the central location! This is certainly a gem!

Perfect From Start to Finish!

We had a perfect stay from start to finish! Frank and Carole are such gracious owners, and absolutely no detail is overlooked. They are truly concerned that their guests have a dream vacation! Their home and gardens are spectacular, and Carole is an amazing designer. We were celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, looking for a very special place, and we definitely found it. Carole and I communicated a number of times before and during our stay, and we were fortunate enough to meet and visit with them in person. She shared many ideas and tips for our itinerary, and she even helped us locate a great photographer in the area for a family portrait at beautiful Craigville beach. Centerville is a wonderful location, and we hope to visit again. At one point, Carole mentioned that she hoped we would feel like we were staying in the home of a friend. And, we most certainly did feel that way!
Owner's Response: Dear Angela,
My pleasure! You are certainly the kind of guests we wish to have and we do hope you will return! You were so kind to "invite us in" (to our own home)! Sharing dinner as a guest was certainly a surprise--and a first.
You have a special family and each child was cuter than the next.
Renting a home has to be a win-win for all, and I do attempt to make it so.
Fondly,
Carole

The Best of Cape Cod: Luxury and Location

5 of 5
Submitted: March 27, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
My wife and I stayed at the Kaplan home late last summer. We have always thought that the Centerville/Osterville area is the Cape at its best -- the kind of upscale environment that makes you feel privileged to be able to share.

The Kaplan home is only a few years old, bright, roomy, immaculate, very comfortable and obviously luxurious. It is very well maintained, inside and out. Everything was ready for us when we arrived, appliances and systems worked properly, and there was no doubt that the furnishings had been selected and collected by a very talented designer.

Breakfast on the large and sunny deck was a special treat, nearby Craigeville beach was a highlight, the local shops were sophisticated excursions and there are great places to eat within easy reach. In short, we had a great time in many different ways and are looking forward to returning.
Owner's Response: Dear Mel,
It always amazes me that our home and area fulfill so many dream vacations-of people who are quite different from each other in what their interests are or what gives them enjoyment!
Yes, the Osterville/Centerville area has much to offer in the way of great beaches, wonderfully diverse restaurants, and beautiful environments. We know the house can't be beat and we take great pride in making it the perfect place to enjoy your vacation. We look forward to seeing you again at Chez Kaplan! Carole

The Centerville Home

The sheer joy of fine living is so apparent at your home in Centerville.You have created a home that is not only a visual treat but also a respite from the cares of the world.
The master suite with it's spa inspired bath and luxurious sitting room was the perfect refuge from all the guests and relatives visiting us.
The open kitchen and family room was a fun place to enjoy our guests and family as we were preparing meals or snacks. We are serious cooks and really appreciated that your kitchen had everything we needed to produce some amazing meals.
Our guests constantly commented on their lovely rooms, great baths and the linens.
Sitting on the deck with it's view of the cranberry bog and your flower gardens was such a relaxing time.We have told all our friends about your home. Thankyou
Owner's Response: Wow!!! It is so fascinating to see our home through others' eyes! Each group uses our special place to their own interests! I, too, am a great cook, and culturally am inclined to surround our family and guests with great food! We are certainly more than well equipped for epicurean delights should our guests be so inclined; however, many don't wish to spend a vacation cooking!! So, I am glad you also enjoyed vegging out on that great deck! Some tell me they hate to leave-stresses just disappear here!
Please come back,
The Kaplans

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This......
Submitted: February 20, 2011 Stayed: August 2009
Carole is a doll: accessible and available; we shared a few emails before our arrival-and a phone call or two after-as she patiently answered all of my questions.
Opening the front door is like stepping into the pages of a magazine: no detail is overlooked in every space of every room, decorated with the passion and flair of her HGTV-worthy talent, from the colors of the paint on the walls to the perfectly appointed accessories, to the beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The French-Country family room is open to the to-die for gorgeous kitchen, that flows effortlessly to the perfectly appointed, raised deck with a view of the meticulously landscaped grounds and the fabulous cranberry bog beyond (lovely for a morning stroll, a heart-pumping jog or scenic walk with an approved and well-behaved canine).
Each bedroom has its own flavor in a layout that affords both convenience and private (2 BRs up share a large Jack & Jill bath; large BRT up 2nd staircase sleeps 4 with its own bath, and of course a first floor elegant serene and sophisticated master suite with separate sitting room and a luxurious bathroom the size of a NYC studio apartment!
....and it is as clean as "she" is beautiful!
I never wanted to leave-but my family was thrilled to be able to walk to Four Seas Ice Cream, and bike and skateboard to the warm waters of Craigville Beach. Truly, it doesn't get better than this Grab it. You'll be glad you did!

Absolutely Perfect

This is a fantastic property to rent. My experience is that the pictures usually 'oversell' the property...not in this case. If anything, the pictures do not do it justice. This home is everything you would want and need and more. Gourmet kitchen, spacious living areas and bedrooms, immaculate, a visual treat wherever you look. This home offers all the comforts and then some. My experience with the landlord has also been fantastic. She is patient, thorough, professional and accommodating. It is also in a terrific location. Close to the beach, shops, restaurants, everything. We ended up wanting to buy the property.

I thoroughly recommend this property to anyone considering renting on the Cape.

My family of four stayed here for a week and we all agreed it was one of the nicest houses we've ever stayed in. It's incredibly comfortable and beautiful, with plenty of space for everyone to find their own special spot. The kitchen is open and well-appointed and extremely nice to cook in - just about everything you could possibly need in the way of appliances and utensils is there. The layout is also perfect for a family, with the master bedroom downstairs and the kids bedrooms upstairs. The whole house is bright and sunny and exquisitely furnished but without ever feeling formal or stuffy; it just feels nice to be there. Also, it is so quiet - you can't hear any cars or neighbors. The landscaping is beautiful and the deck is large and comfortable with plenty of seating. The owners are very gracious and helpful, and quick to get back to you if you have any questions. The location is great - near shopping and activities and cute towns, with plenty of beach options nearby. Obviously, we loved this house and had a great experience there - we highly recommend it!

The home is fabulous. First thing you see is a long driveway and beautiful landscaping which leads to a home that looks as it has come out of a Home Magazine. Once you enter, you see a meticulously clean home with all high end amenities. Spacious and beautiful decor. Beautiful backyard which the kids loved playing in after a day at the best beach(Craigville) in the Cape. The owners are very nice and a pleasure to speak with and meet. Very quick e-mail response to some questions/query I had while staying at the house. This is the 5th year in a row I have taken the family to the Cape and it is by far the most beautiful home we have stayed in. Looking forward to next year when we can return to this great home.
