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.

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."

- "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 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.

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!"

Over looking a private golf course directly off historic Rte. 6A. Classic Cape Cod at its finest either sit back watching golfers while listening to birds chirp or go explore all the Cape has to offer from this dream location. You can travel scenic 6A and visit all the local shops, restaurants, as well as calm beaches on the bay side. You need a little action take a 5 minute detour to Hyannis with everything you possibly need at your fingertips. House is a short drive to many beautiful beaches!

- "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."
