" - "It's a beautiful, quiet, relaxing inn. It's away from the crowds and noise of parts of the Cape, but all of those are still pretty close by if you want to visit. The rooms are really nicely decorated, and ours had a deck looking out over the wooded back yard where we saw rabbits and foxes (not at the same time). A great weekend."

Relaxing porch out front, and deck with dining table and grill surrounded by beautiful gardens in the private back yard. Refreshing outdoor shower leaves the sand outside after a day a the beach..
ABOUT THE LOCATION
Barnstable Village has something for everyone, and you can walk to everything from our cottage! Millway Beach is just down the road, with a beautiful view of Sandy Neck Lighthouse. The beach is sandy, and the water gentle. Walk to Millway Marina for charter fishing, restaurants and ice cream, public boat launch too. Put your kayak in the saltwater marsh and head over to Sandy Neck. Have your lobster and ''chowdah'' cooked to go at Osterville Fish Too just up the road. Better yet, have dinner or cocktails with a view of the harbor at the Mattakeese Wharf - no need to take the car! Stroll down the street to one of the most beautiful beaches on Cape Cod. Be sure to take in a sunset too - beach chairs and towels are here for you, just bring your own flip-flops. The house is just steps to a beautiful saltwater marsh, and the Mill Way Marina is just a block away - you can go on a charter boat or Whale Watch, eco tour, or just watch as the fishing boats unload their 'catch of the day'. A short walk past the marina is a playground for the little ones to enjoy, and then head to historic Main Street for unique shops, restaurants, antiques, museums and more. Haunted and history tours also available, and organic farm to pick up some local grown fruit, veggies and flowers. Located Mid-Cape, it is an easy five minute drive to Hyannis for nightlife, ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
WHY KIDS LOVE IT
From a pirate’s treasure box to toy boats and mermaid toys to play with in the bath, the house is a delight for smaller guests as well as adults. Kids enjoy all of the little things just for them: games and night-time story books and a movie projector for movies under the stars after a day of exploring at the beach. Millway Beach is sandy with gentle water, perfect for little ones with a swimming area and lifeguard in season. Kids of all ages will enjoy exploring low tide along the tidal flats with shallow pools of water filled with sea-life to discover.
- "Really enjoyed our time here! A couple minor issues/suggestions: the back patio cushions are not waterproof, so unfortunately they remained wet throughout the duration of our stay due to rain. Also, a little gas grill for outside would be a nice upgrade over the current charcoal grill. These aren’t dealbreakers by any means though; the trip was still 5/5! Communication with the owner was top notch." - "A wonderful property and we had a lovely stay. Very close to the beach and walking distance to town. Thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket with toys for the kids."

Oceanview three bedrooms, two bath home with breathtaking views from Barnstable Harbor to Sandy Neck.
Take a leisurely walk to Barnstable Village to dine or shop at the many restaurants, antique shops, comedy club, penny candy store, and library (oldest in the country). Take a walk or hop on the Village Bus to Mill Way Beach/Barnstable Harbor for deep-sea fishing, whale watching, dining on the harbor, or absorb the views. The house is located in a very desirable, sought-after area at the end (where the ocean meets land) of a very beautiful and very quiet road. The house is located only minutes drive to downtown Hyannis shops, restaurants, Barnstable Airport, golf, mall, Melody Tent, Kennedy Museum, and ferries. Relax, enjoy a BBQ, take a hot outdoor shower, and enjoy the sea breezes and your private views!
Great for Children!: The yard is perfect for children to keep themselves busy and is set back from the (very) quiet road. It's a perfect place for children to learn to ride a bike or just to bicycle back and forth. A private (rocky) ocean beach steps from the house will keep any child busy for hours with its endless collection of shells and ocean life. We supply the beach toys, beach chairs, and a beach pass to enter all Town of Barnstable ocean beaches and fresh water ponds!
Park Your Car and Don't Touch It Until You Go Home: Carless:
If you want to go on vacation and never touch your car during your stay, this is the spot for you. Between the walking distance nearby restaurants, general store, beaches, whale watching, antiquing, and trolley -- you'll never have to get into your car until it's time to go home! Which, of course, you won't want to do when you see the view we have for you!
- "The property was situated in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Comfortable (even cool evenings) in June with no AC! Out back was Barnstable bay. Beachcombing at low tide was an experience, with so much to see. Friendly neighbors shared their recommendations. You are surrounded with history back to the 1600s. Combined with the lush growth, it was an adventure around every corner. Located about 60 miles from Boston, you could get there in 1...to 2 hours depending on traffic..."

- "There was plenty of space, and unlimited activities for the children! They loved riding bikes and making castles in the sand!" - "Our group of 9 loved the house. It's so close to the beach and a harbor that has two restaurants and a whale watching tour company. It felt like you could be less than 30 minutes to any place between Sandwich and Chatham which made it easy to take short trips around the Cape. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed for our large group and having two tables in the kitchen allowed us all to eat together. Everything worked and was well maintained. The kids room had a few toys in the closet which our 4 and 5 year old boys loved. Our older kids (and the adults who are kids at heart) loved the ping pong and pool table in the large basement. I joked the only thing it was missing was a pinball machine or a couple arcade games. Having a beach so close was a huge benefit. It's a sandy beach and not terribly busy. You can walk out a fairly long way during low tide which allowed for some fun seashell searching and finding crabs. We never bothered making a trip to Mayflower or Corporation beach of how convenient it was. The host was very easy to reach for questions we had, but the document we got prior to check in addressed 90% of our questions. We'd definitely look to stay here again if we come back to Cape Cod."

We loved the new kitchen and the entire house is always clean and neat. Bob and Sally think of everything you could ever need. We will be back again!" - "This was our second year staying at this gem and, once again, it was fantastic. Being on the beach/water can’t be beat, especially with 2 small kids.

One-of-a-kind Barnstable three bedroom home which you will not experience oceanfront living anywhere else like this! It is set out beyond all other houses which provide UNBEATABLE sunrises and sunsets, as well as incredible views of Barnstable Harbor to Sandy Neck. The house is practically one with the ocean with EVERY room having oceanfront views. No need to even move out of the house to see and be part of ocean life -- you're simply part of it inside the home. It's all-access ocean 24/7.
Witness the most beautiful sunrises! Not an early bird? No worries! There's no need to move or completely wake-up or go outside to see them. Just stay in your bed, peek open your eyes, and watch the stunning sunrises. Or head out to the upper or lower balcony, or sit comfortably in the front yard with a coffee and be stunned by the view. Just watch the sunrise and roll back over and finish your restful sleep. But fair warning: you won't want to because there's too much to do!
Miss the sunrise, no worries! Just look to the West and watch the most moving sunsets during the evening. Again, you can view it while in the house or outside in our cozy Adirondack chairs. Don't forget your favorite beverage!

FAQ: Beach Just Steps Away
Is the beach in front super sandy?
The beach in front is a mixture of sand, shell, and rock. It's not a sandy beach that you dig your toes into. I provide a beach pass that allows free entry into all local area beaches and ponds to give the sandy-toes fix.
Do you swim at the beach?
Yes, we all swim here. The best time to swim is at high tide. The tides change every 6 hours. You will see two tides (high/low or low/high every 12 hours.
Can you swim at low tide?
Yes, my preference remains at high tide. I prefer at low tide to take a kayak (rental information provided) and head out to the sandbars that occur out front. Or, do something else (like hangout in the yard, walk the beach, etc.) and wait for high tide. I also include a beach pass that allows you entry into all the area beaches.
Is the view obstructed?
It is an unobstructed waterfront view. Enjoy and be amazed!
Can I bring more than two cars?
We are very close to the ocean - our parking is limited to 2 cars.
- "The house is located in a very very nice neighborhood and was so clean and immaculate. It had everything that we needed for our week long stay. The views of the water, sunrises, sunsets and the lighthouse off in the distance were absolutely beautiful !!! It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The information packet that Shannon sends a couple weeks before your stay has everything in it that you need to know about the property and area. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again."

- "We booked the property due to its proximity to my parents’ house in South Yarmouth. Super clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Beach towels and chairs a nice touch, games and kids activities great for a rainy day. Great fully stocked kitchen and beautiful water views. A couple things to note the 1st floor bedroom does not have a real door, just a screen so not super private. There is also no TV on the property. This was not an issue for us but something to note for others. Would definitely stay again!"

- "We had a wonderful time staying at Jason’s property. He was very helpful with letting us check-in early and provided clear instructions for how to get in the house. While we didn’t get to the beach due to weather, Jason provided us with a great list of local beaches and their reviews. The house is great and very clean. We enjoyed the deck, grill and fire pit in the backyard at night. We would stay there again for sure. The house is 10-15 minutes from everything you would need whether it be dining or entertainment."
