perfect home away from home
Submitted: January 31, 2013
Stayed: November 2012
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
Submitted: March 27, 2012

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 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,

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!

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.
