Perfection

If one were to look up the word perfection in the dictionary I am quite certain you'd find a listing for Cape Cod Northwest.
The blue and brown color theme is perfect, a nice combination of sky, sea, and sand. The house is immaculate, and easy to keep in order during your stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, and enough bathrooms to go around. The lower apartment was nice getaway from the chaos of 2 little boys and their cars. The spa is large enough to hold 7 adults, and the stars were gorgeous. Then the fog rolled in and we entertained ourselves with spooky fog stories.
Our favorite place to gather was the main li ving area and the upper deck, primarily to enjoy the ocean view and comfortable chairs. The kites being flown on the beach were like colorful birds. And the seagulls were, well, seagulls. One morning we saw 4 adult deer milling around the driveway, and a second morning 3 fawns, with Mom of course.
The beach is a short walk, down a rock path lined with bushes that had enough berries,blackberries? to satisfy the curious and brave. The descent to the beach is a little steep, but I managed and I have a bad knee. Our grandsons 3 and 4 didn't have any difficulty. I would suggest, if you have problems walking steep inclines, drive your car down to the path. The last few yards up the street and drive are wicked.
The house has ample room for large groups (we numbered 9), and I've never seen so many place mats! Our group of nine occupied all three floors, and everyone had plenty of alone space for contemplating what ever you contemplate on vacation. The large dining table accommodated all with ease. Kitchen needs well stocked, and no shortage of dishes, tableware, or glasses.
We stayed in mid August and the weather was sunny, but a little cool. Wear or take a jacket to the beach, it's a little more than cool some days. The fog is fantastic and I intend to put it in my next time-travel novel.
Recommend Kyllos Restaurant, the nearby aquarium, Tillmook cheese factory, the quaint Bijou movie theater, and take time to watch the glass blowers in town.
I highly recommend Cape Cod Northwest. The owner is a delight to work with and very professional and organized.
