Unique Benefits
Being right on the pond, you can feel the breeze off the water, watch the sun melt into the horizon, and be completely immersed in nature. It’s a place where you can spend an entire day without ever needing to leave—swimming, fishing, and boating from morning to night, then hopping on the bike path for a ride or a peaceful walk. Evenings are for unwinding, watching the sunset reflect off the water, and feeling miles away from everything, yet still close enough to great restaurants, markets, libraries, and endless activities. It’s the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience—the ultimate vacation escape that never loses its magic.
Why Kids Love It

For little explorers on wheels, the property sits directly on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, offering miles of scenic biking, scootering, and skateboarding. Sports lovers will be thrilled to find a basketball court right on-site, perfect for shooting hoops anytime.
And when it’s time to wind down, the house is warm and cozy, stocked with toys, games and a flat screen TV w/ streaming services to keep kids entertained indoors. Whether they’re splashing in the water, riding the trails, or enjoying game night inside, this is the ultimate kid-friendly vacation spot on Cape Cod!

Liz M.Perfect location
This property offers stunning pond views and a wonderfully quiet, private location. The owner was attentive and responsive throughout our stay, and the home was thoughtfully supplied with ample towels and linens. The amenities were excellent and contributed to a very enjoyable experience. We've rented several homes on this pond over the years, and this is one we would gladly return to.

Jim W.Comfortable home, with character, in an ideal/private location.
Spacious home with many amenities. Very kid friendly with a lot “to do”. Nick, the owner, was very accommodating and responsive! Our family had a memorable week on Cape Cod largely due to this property. We would highly recommend it. It’s a “hidden gem”!
