This was only our second visit to the area, so we wanted a mid-Cape location that would be easy to day trip from. This house was perfect because we were close to the ferry and other conveniences of Hyannis, but you are separated from the more commercial areas by the quaint Main Street of Barnstable. The neighborhood itself is quiet and we enjoyed walking to to the nearby harbor and beach. The house was very clean and exactly as described. We flew to the area, so we especially appreciated that the house was equipped with everything we could possible need (chairs, towels, cooler and wagon). I would definitely recommend this house for a trip to taste what all the Cape has to offer.
