Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful new construction home that comfortably sleeps six at the end of a secluded lane with distant views of the ocean. Widow's walk was an amazing feature--great for star-gazing or sipping coffee while watching sunrises. New well-stocked kitchen, en-suite bathrooms, and full laundry made for a very comfortable stay. Parts of the home were clearly not yet finished (no baseboards, banisters unvarnished, window stickers still on). A/C a real plus since we stayed during a heat wave. The neighborhood is great for biking and has its own private boat launch and beach access which, during low tide, allows for an easy portage to an ocean-front quiet beach with restricted access. Owners provided passes to other local beaches so that parking in the Barnstable area was free. Hyannis has a cute downtown area with some very good restaurants (Downtown Bistro, Embargo, and Tumi) and ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Day trips to Provincetown and the Cape Cod National Seashore are easy from this location. Unknowingly we happened to rent this home during a week when a utility company was digging up the only road access leading to the home (we had to park 2 blocks away) and so we dealt with a lot of early morning noise, dust and 24 hours without gas or hot water. Would suggest that the owners provide SUPs or kayaks at the boat launch for renters as this would allow for exploration of the channels and an easier method for accessing the oceanfront beach. Would recommend for families with older children (staircases) or for three couples, but not ideal for families with small children or family members that struggle handling stairs. All in all, a beautiful home in an excellent location.
