About this rental
This family estate was built in the 1930's by Mr. & Mrs. John Peale Bishop, a famous writer and poet and best friends of the infamous F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, and is nestled on 1.3 acres overlooking the beautiful salt marshes and the ocean! It is ideal for family reunions, vacations, girl getaways, long holiday weekends, small weddings, rehearsal dinners, golf outings, milestone birthday parties, and retreats.

The large kitchen is fully applianced with a butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator, sink and a second full size refrigerator adjoining a separate formal dining room. The fireplaced 28' x 14' living room is truly a ''great room'' with 3 French doors leading to a 28' x 16' foot veranda overlooking the salt marshes, Monomoy Island, and the sparkling waters of Nantucket Sound. There are 2 decks overlooking well-manicured lawns ideal for games, cookouts, and fun gatherings. Forest Beach is a short walk and the parking is free!

KAREN G.A LOVELY WEEK

Mary F.A fabulous week with family
This was our third summer renting a week's stay at the great Gatsby. It truly is a magical place. We use the home as a gathering place for our family who come from near and far. The cousins range in age from 10 to 21 and our Cape week is the highlight of the year. The home is fully equipped and met all of our needs. The yard is fantastic and afforded the children countless opportunities to play every game imaginable. The beach is right down the street. And best of all the caretaker - Carver - is on sight and is always available to meet any needs you may have. We are already looking forward to our stay next year!
