Magical home - heated pool built around Windmill with ocean view

Book now for 2025 - 2024 summer weeks are almost totally gone - just one week left. There however is good availability in the off season.

As you drive down the secluded 500 foot driveway off Main Street, you'll catch a breathtaking view of a modernly constructed home built around a windmill built in 1888. As you enter the main door, the expansive kitchen to the left invites you.

This luxurious property has 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and enough sleeping arrangements for 15/16 guests to spread out comfortably throughout an impressive 5,000+ square feet of living space, making it an ideal accommodation choice for a family, an offsite business meeting or group of close friends looking for the ultimate Cape Cod beach side & pool experience.

You’ll feel right at home the moment you step inside the home's beautiful cape interior, extravagant furnishings, cozy wood touches & an elegant stone fireplace. Massive windows throughout the home provide views of the lily pond on the property designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect for Central Park, Arnold Arboretum & more.

The welcoming home has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, including wireless access, central A/C, & a new heated pool.

There are four large flat screen TVs with Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Disney+ & 100 channels with Youtube TV to appease your entertainment needs.

Nestled into the side yard is a private, heated pool perfect for a refreshing afternoon swim after a day at the nearby beach. The heart of Centerville village with Four Seas Ice Cream, The Country Store and the sugar sandy beaches of Nantucket Sound are just minutes from your front door. Visit and fall in love with this special, romantic property.

There are six bedrooms. The master suite on the first floor has a king size bed, its own flat screen TV and a gorgeous bathroom is on the first floor of the Windmill tower. Another ensuite bedroom has a separate in house set of stairs for its own entrance.. This expansive bedroom has a full size crib, a rollaway bed and a seating area with a wide screen TV & ample space for an additional air mattress. You can see images of the remaining bedrooms including the room with 4 bunk beds, one with a queen bed . On the ground floor there is one bedroom with a king bed and another with a twin bunk over full size bed. The property is an amazing place for families, for family reunions, celebrating a family wedding, for girl's weekends, and it can be a terrific business meeting location.

You won't be disappointed with the amenities -

PLACES TO GATHER - there are 5 separate locations to gather on the first floor -- the outdoor wraparound porch with seating and table, the 12 seat dining room table, the television area with two couches, a separate seating area close to the dining room and of course an excellent brand new kitchen with counter stools is the final place to gather.

CLOSE TO THE BEACH – you can choose the 12 minute walk to the white sugary sands of Craigsville beach, use one of our several bikes, or drive the ½ mile and park for free with our provided parking permit.

HEATED POOL -- when you get home from the ocean, take a dip in the heated pool and use the outdoor shower to refresh yourself.

FAST INTERNET / FLAT SCREENS / COMPUTER AND PRINTER – We have a 150 Mbs service – 3 flat screens with all streaming services including Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. Plus, HBO, Disney + and over a 100 channels to select from. And there is an office on the second floor of the windmill complete with external monitor.

KITCHEN - You will find a very well equipped kitchen with all the essentials - starting with a coffee machine / unlimited number of filters, 4 slice toaster, 5 burner high end gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. There are utensils galore and all the pots and pans you need to feed your group.

KITCHEN SUPPLIES -- As owners come here to enjoy the house and love a well stocked kitchen - you are welcome to use any condiments, flour, sugar, coffee, etc, rather than having to fuss with the extra expense and bother of purchasing them on your own. We will have all the necessary ingredients to make pancakes (except dairy) - flour, sugar, vanilla, etc. There will also be a large number of spices, olive oil and other basics for your cooking.

PAPER SUPPLIES / LAUNDRY – some vacation homes limit your supplies – we are generous to a fault with paper towels, toilet tissue and detergent for the washer and dryer.

NEW WEBER GRILL – to handle all your grilling needs.

GANE ROOM with NEW PING PONG TABLE in newly renovated room. There is an additional seating area and wide screen tv as well. .

And perhaps the most unique attraction of them all is the 4 STORY WINDMILL around which the home is built. On the second floor of the windmill, there is a round office. Take the winding staircases up to the fourth level with panoramic views of Nantucket Sound. The memories of your stay will linger for years to come.

Use the expansive yard and ROPE SWING.

The LANDSCAPING is gorgeous, the lily pond is a delight to view and you can just relax in many secluded places inside the home, the wraparound outdoor porch that overlooks the the lily pond or the new pool area with ample seating.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony or patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television with Netflix is provided, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including an outdoor pool and a fitness center. Additional amenities at this vacation home include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Magical time in a magical place
We LOVED this property. Centrally located on the Cape, but away from all the usual madness. A unique home that was comfortable, quiet, private, and totally fun. The kids loved playing ping-pong or venturing up to the tower, and the adults loved the open floor plan and beautiful surroundings. Thank you!

Great getaway!
This is a beautiful property that was perfect for our girl's weekend. There was plenty of space and the home had a lot of unique character and charm -- it truly felt like a getaway. The check-in and out process was easy and James was responsive and helpful when I had questions. I would recommend staying here if you are a big family or a group of friends looking to spend time on the cape.

Cape Cod Wedding Weekend
Our son got married and we stayed with our friends and family at this lovely home. So nice to be able to spread out. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend, so we didn't get to enjoy the outside as much as we would have liked. But, we were grateful for the big space inside. Kitchen incredibly well stocked as is the whole house. All the groomsmen came over to get dressed and it was perfect. The news kitchen is beautiful. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay for our family gathering! The home is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous grounds and ample space for our group of 14. Kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals properly for a large group. Owner was welcoming and accessible. Very well located - the beach pass is awesome and you can also easily bike to the beach or even walk, plus walk to ice cream etc. Highly recommend and would love to come back some day!

Magical Home Stay
We had a wonderful summer vacation at this beautiful home close to the beach with a heated pool also. The house was spotless and had well situated sleeping areas for our various family members. All of us enjoyed many hours in the pool. The areas villages were fun to explore and the Ice Cream shop and General Store were a big hit especially with the kids. Would definitely recommend this special place to stay!

Family holiday off-season at the Cape
This property is beautiful and nicely situated in Barnstable. Short walk to Craigsville Beach, nice playground only a block, even the Library and General store. Kitchen has most everything you'd need as far as pots/pans. Nice spaces inside with updated bathrooms. Note that the exposed beams mean that the sound travels up to 2nd floor (if you have kiddies sleeping, keep the noise down in kitchen area!). Host was very responsive to questions and minor issues. I recommend!

Family of 10 vacation
My family of ten and I stayed in here for two weeks for our annual summer trip. The house is lovely and spacious. The setting and location could not be better. However, there were a few issues regarding amenities that I feel at this price range should be addressed. When my family’s check into the house there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms nor soap. We went out and purchased both. Jim called and expressed his embarrassment, wasn’t a big deal but for the price of this rental that should not have happened. The listing stated it could host 15 people, we had 10 and only one person could shower at a time. The water would become freezing cold if two people showered. That was super frustrating with 5 children all needing to get ready for bed. There was a hole on the deck from the previous guests which was quite a hazard with the kids. We blocked it off with chairs, but then we had to chairs to sit around the pool. My father-in-law was reading down by the pond and the chair he was sitting in fell apart completely.All of the beach gear they provided was old and falling apart, the pillows on the couches had stains. I found a broken tea kettle under the sink. I got the sense that the owner has not been at the house in some time. If he had a presence he would see that there are things that need repairing and replacing. Again the house is beautiful but for the price you pay some updated amenities are needed.

Fantastic Family Vacation
Amazing 7 nights for our family reunion. Group included 6 kids ages 5-10 who lived in the pool, loved campfires, the rope swing, frog sighting and the strong wifi for Minecraft. Property was amazing. We cooked up a storm, and had plenty of space for everyone to fan out, sleep and gather. Easy walk to the beach, easier drive. Candy store 1 block away got heavy action. Owner very helpful - ordered a new remote fo the tv and responded to questions during our stay.

Spacious Cape Cod home with amazing pool and grounds
What an amazing home in which to celebrate a milestone birthday with family from Ohio and New York! The grounds are stunning - we loved the view of the pond and the stunning hydrangea during our July visit. The weather was perfect for swimming. We spent a lot of time in the pool with a mix of teenage and young children. We enjoyed the small town Cape Cod charm on our walks and day trips to nearby beaches. House was spacious enough for everyone to spread out when needed. Wonderful kitchen and outside dining for family meals. The tower was amazing! Host was very responsive during our stay when needed.
