Enjoy a real Old Fashioned Cape Cod Beach Vacation of Yesteryear at this fantastic house just 200 yards from the entrance of Craigville Beach.

Wake each morning to the smell of the sea air in this fantastic beach get-away with views of the Centerville River AND the ocean. Located only 200 yards from the warm sandy waters of Nantucket Sound at the entrance to Craigville Beach, your friends & family will be transported to an authentic old-fashioned Cape Cod vacation experience in the heart of this historic beach community.

This property has everything you need for a care-free vacation – enjoy your morning coffee from adjoining deck of the second floor Master Bedroom, the full, open kitchen for lunchtime breaks from the beach (Craigville beach is an easy barefoot walk to and from the house), and be your own grill-master in the ample backyard stocked with outdoor furniture for dining & lounging. While you’re out there, you will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the Centerville River and the wild life habitating in the surrounding marsh lands – literally, right in your own backyard. And speaking of yard, there is plenty of room for children to play safely in both the front, side & rear yards of the property. It’s even fenced-in.

There is on-site parking for 4 vehicles.

With three bedrooms and two and a half baths, there is plenty of room for friends and family to gather and enjoy all Cape Cod has to offer in this centrally located beach house. Of course, there’s the world-famous Craigville Beach just a three driveways away, but you will also find yourself a convenient distance from such other attractions as The Cape Cod Melody Tent, taking a short stroll to the best homemade ice cream on the planet at Four Seas Ice Cream Shop, and exploring Downtown Hyannis’ John F. Kennedy Museum, boutiques, fine dining, casual pubs, the hilarious Joke Shop, and art galleries.

Enjoy shopping in the quaint village of Osterville, just a short drive from the home.

Hyannis Harbor is less than 3 and half miles away. Here you can catch a ferry boat to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket Island for a day of exploring or bike riding. Cycling enthusiasts won’t want to miss a day cycling the peaceful and quaint Nantucket Island. Just grab your lunch in a day pack and cycle through the lovely streets of Hyannis Port to Hyannis Harbor to board you and your bike on the Nantucket Ferry. And don’t forget that Cape Cod offers the quintessential mini-golf experience. We’ve played all over The Cape, and our favorites are Pirates Cove and Skull Island, both located a short distance away on Rt. 28. But please don’t feel like you need to remember any of this. As your hosts, we provide plenty of advice before your trip as to our favorite places to buy the freshest seafood, whale watch, deep sea fish, or just enjoy a nice seafood dinner like a local.

It was fine, great location.
Beautiful yard and perfect location! We really enjoyed the views and proximity to the beach. The property manager was fantastic. Easy to reach and very accomodating when we needed to change dates. She reached out to personally apologize for maintance issues. We appreciated the communication. The house was adequate and slightly run down, so if you have very high standards, this may not be for you.

This was our second time staying at Maria's home and it was just as perfect as the first. Perfectly equipped for a family, gorgeous views, amazing yard. Craigville Beach is the quintessential Cape experience with clean sand, good snacks, and nice people. Already planning our trip back!

Location is fantastic
Pros: - Location is fantastic! Walking distance to the beach and close drive to everything! - The backyard space is awesome. Lots of room, nice view, and all fenced in! - Overall plenty of room within the house - Bay window overlooking back is a great feature! - WiFi worked great for the times we were in the house Cons - Downstairs shower is a bit complicated and the floor constantly was wet - even if no one showered yet. - Fridge doesn’t seal all the way so it would either freeze some things or leak water. - The house is definitely a little run down in areas - cabinets, very used couches, rusted toaster and coffee maker - Seemed liked it wasn’t cleaned 100% - saw some cobwebs with spiders, dust bunnies, etc. In the age of a pandemic - you’d hope it would feel a little cleaner. Other notes: - One reviewer said the grill was a pain. It did take a little to start up but worked just fine for us grilling steaks the first night. - The house is on a busy road but wasn’t the end of the world. Just want to point that out. Overall we had a good time at the Cape. Just some things were frustrating considering the price you’re paying per night.

Family vacation
The proximity to Craigville Beach couldn't be beat and we probably would rent this property again. The property could use some maintenance. Painting, fixing walls in some rooms. The blinds in the downstairs bedroom need to be replaced; the morning sun streams in. There was no place to put soap, shampoo, etc. in the shower in the bathroom that’s attached to the downstairs bedroom. While there are plenty of bath towels, we made a trip to Target to get wash cloths. Overall it could just use some TLC. We had our grand dog with us and while she mostly just laid in the sun, we had to keep an eye on her because of the gaps under the fence in some spots. Not a big deal, but future renters should be made aware of this. I wouldn’t say it was dirty, just more run down.

The location is great. The amenities are good. The house needs some work and the cleanliness was sub par. On entry i noticed plenty of dust bunnies in corners of rooms. Huge ones. Behind tables and couches. There was also a massive dog bone under a couch so a few things seemed to be missed cleanliness wise. The comforters smelled unclean and with Covid didn't seem safe to use. Most doors were terribly squeeky so I used WD-40 to help. At least 3 lights did not work. I had to replace a few light bulbs. The kitchen microwave lightbulb still needs replacing. Some of the windows are busted and dont open with the cranks. Most blinds in the house do not turn open, but it looks like there were blinds behind a couch so maybe those will be updated soln. The drawers could use a run through of utensils. There's a few busted utensils like half broken tongs that should be tossed. The grill is barely functional. Takes a lot of work to light (needs a lighter) and some burners dont catch fire easily (a deep clean may help, but the ignition button is busted). Theres a very old moldy hamper next to the outdoor shower. Upstairs to the second floor there was a weird smell, probably dog pee on the carpeted stairs. The entry rug just has a lot of pee stains and should probably be replaced. I think it'd be smart if the large couch in the den room attached to the kitchen pulled put as a bed. The current pull out couch in the entry room when used kind of blocks one of the bedrooms.

Perfect location!
The location for this house couldn’t have been better for a cape vacation! It was a very easy 2 min walk to the beach and was no problem even for my 3 young kids. The back yard is great and has privacy that overlooks the water. We also really enjoyed the ability to kayak right from the back yard onto the Centerville River.

Awesome family trip
We stayed here with our 2 adult kids and our dog for 2 weeks. It was extremely convenient location. Walk to the beach and to the clam shack for food and also a quick drive to Four Seas for ice cream. Hyannis is only 3-4 miles away. My son fished off the bridge many nights. The backyard was great for a cookout and relaxing. This place has everything you need for a fun Cape vacation. We’ll be back!

Maria's place is fabulous and she is a pro as a host. Check-in was easy, she communicated quickly and with ease. The beach is a 3 minute walk, although we enjoyed the river view from the back patio so much that became our primary family hang-out spot! This is our 2nd trip to this house, and we'll be back!

this is a lovely property a short 2 block walk from the beach, ice cream stand, and lunch place. the view from the back upper deck is spectacular. this house has real functioning air conditioning , (unlike some houses which advertise 'ac' and have only one weak window unit.) the kitchen is extremely well equipped for do-it-yourself meals. we loved our week here ! the only caution is : the fenced backyard has some holes, and our little dog managed to escape (but did not get very far...)
