"Recently stayed at this place with my multi-generational family and had a great time. It is centrally located and we found it a great home base for our explorations. The home is clean, well equiped and the owners were easily reached for questions. Great fenced back yard for little ones." - Rachel, , 09/23/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This was our second stay at Lewis Bay and we enjoyed it as much perhaps even more than the first stay. The accommodations are so charming and the location was perfect for our agenda. The house has very nice curb appeal but the interior is the real charm. Nothing was left out. Julia thought of everything when she decorated the home. The listing descripton of this property was extremely accurate. There were no surprises. Deb and I have stayed at other properties and none were as clean or remotely as well- maintained as Lewis Bay. The best part of this experience is the owner. She is always there if you have any questions or concerns. She certainly epitimizes good customer service. I would recommend this property and have to my friends and family. The beaches are spectacular and most assessible. Deb enjoyed the many hiking trails and I loved the Cape Cod baseball games. Hyannis Harbor Hawk games were less than a mile from the house. And the restaurants!! Oh my! My favorite breakfast place, the Daily Paper was only a short drive away. The staff and food are second to none. If you like seaford you are certainly in for a treat being so close to the Harbor. In this economy, you will definitely appeciate the "bang for the buck" you get staying at Lewis Bay. Deb and I are very active and this residence proved to be a perfect place for us to wake up to and spend our evenings. You can't go wrong booking this retreat." - Calib, , 07/23/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Debbie and I have been coming to the Cape for years always booking hotels until last year. Last year we rented a house on Martha's Vineyard and to be honest we were disappointed. Naturally we were reluctant to rent again without viewing the property but from our first contact with Julia we knew this was going to be a wonderful experience and we were not disappointed. The house was as advertised, even better. From the note and chocolates waiting on us to the beautiful annointed Cape it was first class. I highly recommend Lewis Bay Retreat and am certainly amiable to provide answers should you have questions." - Calib & Debbie Garland, Spotsylvania, VA, 03/19/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"The house is in a very good position to take advantage of seeing all of the sights around Cape Cod. It is so near the dock facilities for sea trips and good retuarants. It was quite comfortable for 4 adults without feeling cramped." - Alan Watson, Tingewick Bucks UK, 09/07/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed in 10 Trenton Street in August 2009, with our three teenage children. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms, well-stocked kitchen, quiet location and internet access. Our children's favourite was to walk to the nearby beach with the blow up boat from the garage - about a ten minute stroll to a really quiet spot, with a view of the bay and the boats passing in and out of Hyannis. We found the location an excellent base for exploring Cape Cod and a homely retreat at the end of a day out." - Simon and Clare , Wells, Somerset, 09/05/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Having travelled all the way from the UK to Cape Cod it was fantastic to find such a clean and well stocked house in which to spend our holiday. Nothing in addition was needed and the property was very clean and we would class as above standard." - Paul Newton, 08/21/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"lewis bay retreat was just lovely. the home is decorated beautifully and we could not believe all the comforts and conveniences it offered (including chocholates on the towels in the bedrooms!) the house had the feel of a fine hotel, the linens provided (both bed and bath) were high quality and beautiful. the kitchen was fully equipped and then some. we were traveling with young children so we prepared all of our meals at this home and found the kitchen lacked for nothing (even had the soy sauce i forgot to get). in addition to being beautiful, it was also very functional and comfortable for children. there was even a high chair and pack n play available and sand toys in the garage for the kids. the local beach (a very short walk away) was perfect to start and end our day with, the kids loved playing there on the playground and in the sand, and we loved watching all the boats go by. we found the house was very conveniently located on the cape. also the owners were very pleasant to work with,the process of renting the home on-line went very smoothly. we have already recommended the house to two of our friends who will be traveling to the cape in the fall. i would highly recommend this place as both a romantic get-away or for a family. we hope to go back some day." - erika lachance, Massachusetts, 07/28/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed at Lewis Bay Retreat for a week over the Easter Vacation. The booking process was highly efficient and the accommodation was attractive and comfortable - just as descibed on the web site. The location of the property was perfect for visiting the Cape and the facilities for eating and drinking in Hyannis were varied and commendable. We tried to think of things to add in the way of improving the property, but couldn't! Read the information that Julia so expertly provides and book with complete confidence. You will not be disappointed. A great house, great place, great holiday. B-S Family, Cambridge & London UK" - Anonymous, 04/24/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a wonderful time staying in your home. The house was quiet yet close enough to walk to Hyannis and all the attractions. Your home and all its amenities helped to make our week relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you for opening your home to us.

"August 2008 We enjoyed our stay at Lewis Bay very much. The house was central for excursions, and within easy walking distance of Hyannis harbour and the town. The house was very comfortable, especially the beds, wonderful after a long day out. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated, and there were many homely touches to make it the warmest of welcomes. If I had to suggest one thing to make it even better (and there is only one thing) it would be the addition of another toilet, travelling with teenagers made getting into the bathroom to use the facilities something of a problem. Otherwise I can't think of everything else. Thanks for making our stay on Cape Cod a really enjoyable one." - Sandra Holroyd, Woodley, Berkshire UK, 09/07/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a fantastic holiday at the Lewis Bay retreat. The house is in a superb location, Hyannis is a busy little town, with the harbour for easy access to the islands. The house is beautiful with everything you need so you don't need to take anything with you. It was easy to book online and Julia responded quickly to all my queries before we arrived. We would definitely recommend this holiday home and we are already looking forward to the next time we can go!" - Jane, Steve & Thomas Barnes, Preston, Lancashire, 08/24/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"What can we say that hasn't already been said? This place is truly a home away from home ( if only our own home was as beautiful as this ). The website photos, although stunning, do not do it justice. It is bigger than it looks on the photos and they cannot show you all the utensils, pots, pans, knives, chopping boards, roasting trays, oven mitts, aprons, spare bulbs, batteries, torch, detailed Cape Cod road map,etc etc etc. We even found nutcrackers!! This really is an amazing place and we will be back here like a shot if we visit Cape Cod again and stay longer next time. My husband wanted to ship the bed home ,it was so comfortable and the kids and I just wanted to move in permanently. Julia and Chuck could not have been more helpful. We had a minor problem with the internet connection which they resolved the next day, having been in touch with the internet provider on our behalf. If you are wondering whether to book this place, stop wondering and do it now before someone else beats you to it! Like Us!!! You won't regret it!" - Kay Parkinson, Brentwood, Essex UK, 04/18/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Lovely little house in very quiet residential area - off main roads, but very close to town centre. Walking distance to a nice little beach where you can watch the ships come in and out. Heating worked very well, so nice and cozy and a massive amount of utensils and gadgets for the kitchen - everything you could ever need! very nice touch to have some common seasonings and other food products (like rice and pasta) there already - saves buying a massive pack for just a few days. Many thanks for a lovely visit to Cape Cod." - Chris and Julia, Aberdeenshire, Scotland., 04/10/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"A lovely, cozy little house - very comfortable and convenient, both to downtown Hyannis and to the beach, as advertised. We also appreciated the good recommendations for local restaurants and things-to- do. A very enjoyable stay!" - Lisa T, Nashua, NH, 12/03/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Julia & Chuck, We enjoyed our week long stay in your home (Lewis Bay Retreat) immensely. It was more than we could ask for, all the extra ammenities and close proximity to restaurants, shops, beaches made it all the more better. Your home surpassed our expectations and more! I did not expect all the things you've provided, it was such a surprise, especially the chocolates you left for us! Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We will definitely be back and will recommend to family and friends visiting the Cape. " - Helen, Bayside, NY, 11/26/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We have just come back from a week at the Lewis Bay Retreat, Cape Cod and all I can say is I wish we could have stayed for much longer. This delightful house is a home in the true sense of the word. It has been lovingly looked after and has every home comfort. It is within easy walking distance of the bustling town of Hyannis where we enjoyed some lovely meals out, and the harbour with ferries to Martha's vineyard and Nantucket. We cannot fault the house at all and can only say thank you to its owners for making our week so enjoyable. We'll be back!" - Sarah and Steve Atkins, Saffron Walden, Essex, UK, 11/07/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"My husband and I stayed at the house for a week with our 8 month old daughter and my parents in law. It was fantastic. A real home from home. It was better than the pictures. Very cosy, perfectly equipped (even for a baby!), a short stroll to the beach and into Hyannis town. The home was also a great base for exploring Cape Cod. Having a baby with us, we cooked in every night. The kitchen was so well equipped and stocked that we were able to cook up feasts and sit back and enjoy a good meal and some great wine! I would thoroughly recommend this house." - Anonymous, 10/25/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a wonderful time during our stay in Cape Cod. The Lewis Bay Retreat is just that! My husband, our 2 dogs (Shannon and Baxter), and I visited during the last week of September 2007. The location of your house is great. We walked the dogs in the preserve every morning, they could hardly wait for us to get up and get going. Almost every night we able to go down to the harbor area to watch the fisherman and boats go by. We also we very happy that your house was centrally located so we could explore the Cape in each direction without any issues. Hopefully we will be able to come back and stay again in the future. Thank you for letting us stay in your house." - Pam Allen, Long Island, NY, 10/12/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

Thank you again, " - The Smith family, Rye, NY, 10/06/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Julia and Chuck, After 2 weeks traveling the 6 states of New England it was lovely to stay in a real Cape Cod home rather then hotels!

"Fantastic house in a quietarea of hyannis. Easy walk to Hyannis and shops and ferries. 2 minute walk to beach. A good position from which to explore the rest of Cape Cod and its many beaches. Don't miss the chance to go whale watching from Barnstable. The house had everything you could wish for and was very comfortable for 6. A great house that made a great vacation! Thanks" - The Murphys, Preston, Lancs, UK, 09/09/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a wonderful week at the Lewis Bay Retreat. The location was on a quiet street with an easy drive into downtown Hyannis- a great location from which to explore the Cape.

"Many thanks for extending your hospitality for this our 3rd stay with you on Cape Cod. We enjoyed a trip to Nantucket on a fast boat and found new beaches to visit locally. Alan and Ian enjoyed kayaking on the Bass River. We are off to the beach to take advantage of the sunny day - not so many of them on this visit, however there are always the shops and the cinema, not to mention your home comforts! Thanks again," - Morrison family, Edinburgh, Scotland, 08/11/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"This is our 2nd visit to this beautiful house and we have had yet another wonderful time! Whale watching was the highlight of the week, as this year we saw hundreds of dolphins as well as the whales. Plus going whale watching from Barnstable saves lots of time. The two islands make great day visits and Nantucket, despite its unpopularity with guidebooks, was particularly fantastic. We have had games of crazy golf at Pirates Cove crazy golf on the way to Dennis on Rt 28. Also on Rt 28 is the Shaw's supermarket which is the best supermarket we have found. Due to excellent exchange rate we have done lots of shopping at the Cape Cod Mall and Filene's Basement. Cape Cod Mall has a great food court with many choices and is very reasonable. Thank you Julia and Chuck for another wonderful week. We hope to return to the Cape soon. Best wishes," - The Nix family, Durham, England, 08/05/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our stay at Lewis Bay Retreat was everything we wished for and more. We booked online several months in advance and experienced the natural apprehension involved in trusting a stranger and hoping that the promise of Lewis. Bay would be realised. Julia quickly dispelled any concern by the friendly and responsive email exchanges and telephone call before we set out. She is a great host who provided for all of our needs at 10 Trenton Street. We found quiet,in a clean and well maintained property that had very good accomodation, facilities and utensils.We enjoyed Bar-B-Qs, we had beach chairs and bicycles. The beach is 5 minutes walk. Restaurants are plenty in the Main St. Which is 10 - 15 minutes walk. Tugboats is a restaurant close to the nearest beach , 5 minutes walk and is well up there as a favourite ! We enjoyed every moment and left with a promise to return. JOHN KEENAN" - John Keenan, Naas, Co.Kildare, Ireland, 07/08/07( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Lewis Bay Retreat is such a wonderful, welcoming, charming cottage. It truly exceeded our expectations It was in an excellent location, impeccably clean with every amenity you can think of.

It was truly like home with all the special touches, we were very comfortable and would love to return someday.

"Dear Julia, Chuck and Hamilton Thank you for meeting us on arrival, your lovely home has been a real home away from home. Little touches, such as the beach bag, were much appreciated - you really have thought of and supplied everything we would have wanted. Our first visit to Cape Cod has exceeded all our expectations. We came to see the wildlife and walk the beaches - 'whale watching' should be made compulsory for all visitors! - highly recommend the tour from Barnstable harbour as its only a short drive home after a real adrenaline high. Enjoyed evening strolls through teh bogs at the end of the street - full of songbirds, rabbits and other friendly critters. Watching a pair of ospreys fishing near Eastham was also a great thrill. Just chilling here has been easy. We leave with fond memories of or visit to the Cape thanks to your great hospitality. Regards, Stuart and Mary, Epsom, England.

"Dear Julia, thank you so much for making us feel so welcome at Lewis Bay Retreat. We had a wonderful time and had the most amazing weather. We can highly recommend your vacation home to everyone - especially to vacationers with children and dogs. We also appreciate that we were able to bring our dog. Jia, our boxer girl, loved the vacation and enjoyed her walks through the preservation area. We really appreciated how dog-friendly the Cape was (starting Sep. 15th). Provincetown actually had a dog-festival - it was worth the trip. Mid-week our sister-in-law and our 2 1/2 year-old niece from Germany joined us and they loved their stay.

"The whole booking process was dealt with speedily, efficiently and in a friendly manner. The house is in a great location - Hyannis has plenty to offer and as the house is within walking distance of the shops, bars and restaurants, it meant we could leave the car at home. We felt safe at all times - as first time visitors to the USA we couldn't quite believe our luck. It was a real home from home!

"The home was everything promised and more. The weather could not have been better and the whole family took advantage of the outdoor seating for many meals and playtime. The fenced-in yard provided a safe place for my two young daughters to play without any worry. We spent many afternoons at the beach right down the road. It wasn't very crowded and the calm water was perfect for my 18 month old. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the home to others.

We will definitely be recommending it to friends. A lovely location with many beaches all around. We loved Corporation Beach in Dennis. We enjoyed eating out near here and also using the BBQ here at the house. Thank you." - The Brabys, NY and Essex, U.K., 06/24/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Julia & Chuck provide a wonderfully warm & inviting home in a great location on the cape. They take care of everything, including sheets, towels (even beach towels!), beach chairs, BBQ grill, coolers, more dishes/glassware than we could ever use. We walked to the beach and to get the high speed ferry to Martha's Vineyard, so no parking worries. We had the pleasure of meeting Julia & Chuck, and they really want you to feel it is your home for the week. Also, the recently renovated kitchen was beautiful. We brought our laptops and "worked from home" a couple of days, with the high-speed wireless access - a great amenity, in my opinion. Even our dogs had a great stay. They had a hose to wash them off after playing in the bay. And Chuck brought over some puppy shampoo to clean them up...how thoughtful is that?! The washer and dryer in the basement came in handy many times. Not sure what else to say...we loved the place!" - Julie & Jonathan, Phoenix, MD, 06/06/06( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"As we left Boston airport having been delayed three hours in London while they fixed an engine, we drove through the rain and fog, anxious that the house we had rented in Lewis Bay would be OK, the car radio reporter told us the worst storms since the 1930s were on their way and to expect a wall of water to hit the area. It began to look like Cornwall might have been a better bet. The house was all we could have hoped for, bright charming and comfortable. During the storm on the first Sunday we relaxed and enjoyed the 101 personal touches the Julia & Chuck made to the house. The small library of books from Poe to murder mystery to maps to a sound system, TV and games that eased the jet lag and helped us forget the rain outside. With a good sized kitchen fully equipped we didn’t need to venture far even though eating out was easy with too many places to choose from and even pizza delivery if we wanted. As the week went by the weather improved and the sun was out by the Tuesday when we drove up to Provincetown where the Pilgrim Fathers went ashore. We went on to enjoy all of Nantucket Bay and Cape Cod; Sandwich, Chatham, Falmouth and of course Hyannis we didn’t get round to visit Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket Island but there’s always the next time. The beaches were stunning as is Julia’s & Chuck’s House, thank you for doing such an excellent job and letting us lead the good life for a week.

"Julia and Chuck, We had a great time this week and enjoyed the great house. It felt more like we were staying with a friend as opposed to simply renting a home with all the helpful tips and comments. You thought of everything from the BBQ to the gold box full of pamphlets. We found many things to do from the use of the gold box. Thank you." - Tom and Terri Flood, CT, 09/10/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Dear Julia and Chuck, We really enjoyed our week here. Your house is so beautiful - we're going to try some of your ideas at home! We spend our days enjoying the local beaches, we especially liked Kalmus Beach. The more sheltered side was perfect for the kids. It was such a blessing to not have to bring our own linens, beach chairs, grill, etc. (If we had to - we wouldn't be sure if the dog or the children would have to be tied to the roof). Thanks for the doggie blankets and the waterproof mattress covers - you really have thought of everything. Duffy really liked the red checkered blankets. The chocolates and wine and dog biscuits were a very nice welcome. Unfortunately, the Chirardellis started us on a slippery downward chocolate slope!

We have enjoyed trips to Martha's Vineyard, Heritage Museum at Sandwich, Chatham, Falmouth, fire museum at Brewsetr and a great day at Water Wizz in Wareham. Our favourite day was the whale trip from Provincetown. It was amazing, the whales came right up alongside the boat and sprayed us from their blowholes! We had some great meals in town - Schooners and Fresh Ketch were our favourites. We also had a great evening listening to the band in the park. We loved the convenience of the beach at the end of the road and it was great to sit and watch all the boat tours going past. We went on the Duck Tour which gave us a few laughs! We hope to come back again and enjoy the hospitality the Cape and especially Lewis Bay Retreat has to offer. " - Fiona Johnson, Cheshire, U.K., 08/27/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Dear Julia, Thank you so much for helping to make our stay here so relaxing and comfortable. The accommodation could not have been more perfect - good location, perfect size, our every need met. It was great to have a "home" to come to each night - not just a place to stay. (Hope we will be able to come back again and enjoy the Cape here at 10 Trenton. Thanks again! Oh, all the hints and suggestions were a huge help!

"Wonderful week on the Cape in your lovely home. We enjoyed the beaches, bike riding, whale watching, shopping and various other local outings all from a great central location to everything. Your home was very welcoming and homey. The children loved the stars on the ceiling! The beds were comfortable and cozy. Thanks again!!" - The Muller Family, Patchogue, NY, 07/06/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Julia and Chuck, Thank you both, we've all had a wonderful stay, our first on Cape Cod. We really appreciate all the many extras which definitely made the difference. We came to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary and left with our daughter ordering her wedding dress from the local shop. We had a super time and are sad to be back to reality. The house was fantastic and the nicest self catering accommodation we have ever rented, thank you so much for all the thought and care you put in to our holiday. Hope to come again soon.

"The house was perfect, set in an ideal location not too far to walk to town. The many personal touches, especially the beach gear and cool box. We loved BBQing and eating in the garden too. The first of many trips we hope!" - Lesley Pollington, Essex England, 06/28/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you very much for your little touches which make American hospitality so wonderful! We had a competition to see if there was anything you hadn't provided and we couldn't find a thing! We have had a lovely week here and are very sad to be returning home. The bike ride around Matha's Vineyard will stay with us forever. Your house is wonderfully welcoming. Everything was so well thought out and we really appreciated the wine and choccies! I have passed your details on to people at work so I hope this brings you some rentals. You have a lovely home here. Thanks for a great holiday! Penny, Nigel, Francesca, Amelia and Olivia Naden. Prestbury, Cheshire, England.

"We had a wonderful holiday here. The accommodation is spotless and very homely. The house is very well equipped. every effort was taken to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The beach is walking distance and very safe for children. This was a great base to explore from. We reccommend the bike hire at Martha's Vineyard!" - Naden Family, Prestbury, Cheshire, UK, 06/08/05( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Another great week on the Cape! Thanks again for opening your home to us and making us feel so welcome. Naomi and Jeff Kraft." - Jeff Kraft, Clencoe, IL, 10/25/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for a lovely stay! The house is so well situated - close to the town but in a very tranquil location, and we could take day trips the the rest of Cape Cod easily. We walked to the beaches next to Bayview - it was great. The water was warm, clean, and so gentle and there is a nice large stretch of the sand. And it's very private and quiet. Nothing beats a quiet morning on an empty beach in a middle of a summer! Thank you for your hospitality. We hope to return next year. " - Thomas family, 09/27/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you. Very fine accomodations. Jay and Patsy MacNulty." - Jay MacNulty, Troy, NY, 09/18/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We found the house and the neighborhood to be quiet comfortable and were surprised by the large number of "extras" that Julia has thoughtfully included to make the vacation experience more personal. The beaches in the area we found to be a bit lacking and ended up driving further than we had anticipated but all the better as we explored and found new places we had never been to before." - Anonymous, Glenville, NY, 09/16/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Julia & Chuck, Your house is truly a second home at the beach! We didn't have to "run to the store" for anything, and the location is close to everything. Whether you like to swim the beaches on the ocean side or the bay side, it's a great location. We had a wonderful. relaxing week and loved staying in your beautiful beach home. Sincerely, The Mercier family Lynn, Chuck, Charley, Gabrielle & Oliver." - Mercier family, Granby, MA, 08/28/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you for opening your home to us. It was a great, relaxing experience. The house is amazingly well-equipped. From the appropriate glassware (it's kind of depressing to drink wine out of a tumbler - but not to worry you had red AND white wine glasses!) to the featherbed to the corn dishes w/matching corn holders. We were impressed from walking in the door to the moment we sadly left our vacation behind. this was all of our first Cape rental and it was a fantastic experience! For opening your home, the wonderful amenities and your kindness and help throughout the process, I thank you! Your home was the perfect location for our memorable, relaxing week. Cheers, Veronica " - Veronica Mendoza, Brooklyn, NY, 08/25/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Julia & Chuck, Thank you so much for the excellent week! We couldn't have felt more at home. And didn't want to leave! Thank you!" - Becky Boyer, Allston, MA, 08/21/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Thank you so much for renting your house to us! It was in a perfect location and close to everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed every minute of our stay, it was the best of both worlds. All the amenities of a hotel but felt like home. The creature comforts of linens, towels, pots and pans made it so wonderful not to worry about having everything with us. You thought of everything! Even the flashlight on the refrigerator was perfect because the electricity did go out one night! Your home is beautiful and I hope we'll be able to come back again and rent from you. Thanks again for everything. Betty Chviruk." - Elizabeth Chviruk, Worcester, MA, 08/14/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a nice stay at the house. It was so nice to have the sheets and towels already provided. And they were so soft! It was also a big plus to not have to bring beach chairs and towels since they take up so much room. It's too bad the weather wasn't great for the beach. But the kids didn't seem to mind. We played a lot of miniature golf! We would definetly recommend the house to other vacationers. Thanks again!

"Thanks so much for a really great week. Your house was just perfect!!! Your personal touches in and around the house made this a wonderful choice for our summer escape. The wine, the beautiful flowers, the local magazines, etc., were all greatly appreciated. We can't wait to return to the Cape! Thank you for your contribution to a great vacation! The well furnished and provisioned house did much to make us feel at home; good weather did the rest. We hope to return." - Jeff Kraft, Chicago, IL, 07/01/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We were so happy we stayed in your house. It was everything you said and more, very clean and well taken care of. Everything was great. We had a great time on the Cape. With the wet weather on Sunday, we drove around and explored the various towns, which helped us plan our week. We did get 3-4 great beach days, which proved to be plenty of sun, it was actually much warmer than we thought it may be which was a nice surprise. The nights cooled off very nice and your home gets good cross breezes. We usually rent a house or condo once a year in various places and no one provides the extra touches you provide (condiments, laundry detergent, bath products, linen ribbons). These were very nice. We went to the Fish Market a couple of times and did use the lobster pot which was great to have. It was a great week on the Cape. We explored from Woods Hole to Provincetown. The location of your home is great! We had some great days on the beach and enjoyed the shopping and eating that Cape Cod has to offer. The area proved rich in history and in culture, making for a very enjoyable week. We were very happy with your home, and extremely pleased and grateful for how nice it was interacting with you. We had a great vacation. We appreciated your binder, it really was helpful! Jim and Deb Talley." - Jim and Deb Talley, Spencer, OH, 06/12/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We spent a wonerful week here on Cape! I never imagined that May can be such a great month to spend on Cape. We enjoyed our walks along the beach, marvelous sunsets, great fishing and excellent food. Your home is so warm, well located, close to everything Cape has to offer and is lovely and inviting. We would love to come back soon! Thank you, Bizunok family." - Valentina and Alex Bizunok, Needham, M, 05/08/04( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
