Amy and Barry’s home is very cozy and comfortable. It is in a great neighborhood and centrally located. Amy has thought of everything to make a stay enjoyable. There is lots of information that is very well organized for all there is to do in the area. We’ve stayed multiple times and look forward to returning soon.
We came out to the Cape to visit family for the holiday, and we really appreciated being able to stay so close to them! The house is clean and welcoming--We especially appreciated the artwork!
Everything looked exactly like in the pictures -- no surprises! Easy check in process and no problems at all during our stay. Communication was easy (although barley needed) would stay there again and recommend to others
The property was nice and cozy. I liked how the one bedroom had a separate sitting room. The home was nicely decorated for a cape cod theme. More outlet plug-in, for cell phones, etc.would be nice. Mattresses were hard. We had instructions to wash, dry, and fold the bath towels before we left that morning. A lot to expect from us before we leaving.
Quiet, just enough amenities, Beds were Comfy:) The porched-in area off the master bedroom was perfect for morning tea, afternoon naps, and relaxing before bed. The front room was spacious with several sitting areas. Would definitely return!
This was a great weekend to the Cape to visit our son who is a student at the Maritime Academy. My parents joined us for their first time in town. We loved the home and location. Everything is there that you will need! We loved being able to prepare a home cooked meal for our family in the kitchen. Lighting in the home was special and an appreciated touch. It was a wonderful experience.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was in the perfect location for our adventures to Provincetown, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and a whale watching trip. The house also served well while confined indoors when Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lee passed close by the area. We enjoyed all the comforts of home! Amy was very accommodating and checked on us during our stay. We had a great time.
This house is fantastic, one of the best rentals we have ever booked. The home is very clean and well appointed. Amy and Barry are amazing, gracious hosts who think of EVERYTHING!
Close to beaches, shopping and restaurants, even a pond and playground. Our only regret is, we didn't act fast enough to book for next summer. Stay here, you won't be disappointed!
To potential customers, Amy’s place is casual, cozy and very accommodating. Would not want to stay anywhere else. The mid cape location is perfect.
To Amy - you are the model host. We thank you for your wonderful accommodations- it is truly an exemplary model for the right location, property site and all around value.
We are already looking forward to next year!
All of our best,
M&S
We love the Cape and the home is very centrally located to access all our favorite activities. The home is clean and Amy is easily available to chat. We have stayed multiple times and look forward to another stay in the near future.
This property is exactly as shown on website. Very well maintained,in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything
Amy has lots of information for you about restaurants and adventures.
Big back yard with seating,grill and picnic table
Would definitely recommend!
Amy’s home is lovely and we enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Amy was easy to reach when we had questions. Great neighborhood and location too.
There were 4 of us and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place as we enjoyed 5 days in Cape Cod! The only concern we had was that we were asked to have all the towels washed, dried, and put away prior to leaving. This left the group without being able to bathe or shower before our leaving day. In staying at other VRBO's this has not been required. Even with this concern, I highly recommend this place!
We have stayed for years in the neighborhood with family. Because of a wedding, their house was full! We loved staying at Amy's. The front porch was so inviting and is a great place to read a book and curl up with a blanket. We ate breakfast outside in the back and know that if we had gone to the beach, we would have enjoyed the outdoor shower. Check out Wolfie's bakery. It is inside of a former lobster restaurant and $ goes towards the community kitchen. You are sure to enjoy your stay.
We enjoyed the perfect stay here with family. Lots to do in the area and the property was such a great place to stay. We kayaked on the pond and had tea in the garden.
Really nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Well appointed and beds were very comfortable.
Con: having to wash the towels on checkout day made the morning a bit rushed to be out by 11:00.
Our family stay was not our first at Amy and Barry’s Cape House. This is the only home we stay at when we return to the Cape. It was the first we stayed at after selling our Cape home and continues to be the place we want to return to. Amy is very responsive and organized. Everything you need is at the cape house! It’s a beautiful quiet area that is close to beaches, restaurants and activities. Amy and Barry have created a beautiful comfortable home to enjoy and we are grateful that we can continue to come back. Hope to enjoy your home again soon!

Very clean , spacious, well appointed, comfortable home! We traveled north to celebrate Christmas with family living close by in Bass River. Great location. Worked out perfectly! Amy had decorated throughout the home and even put up a tabletop Xmas tree! Very thoughtful and much appreciated !
We were looking for a girls getaway while the guys had a golf getaway. Everything about this Cape cottage was perfect! Amy was excellent with instructions and responses. The house had everything you could possibly need. Great location!! We walked 2 miles in the morning and it was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood! We would definitely stay here again and just may bring the husbands back next time! Perfect weekend getaway!!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Pirro
We currently live in Lagrangeville, NY. My husband and I are both teachers: he is a retired middle school music teacher and I teach science research in high school.
I started my teaching career on Cape Cod and have also worked as an environmental educator/researcher for the National Seashore, Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary, and Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. I have dreamed about owning a Cape Cod house since I was a child and used to vacation in Dennisport with my parents and sister. Now my dream is reality and my husband and I want to share our home with you!
Why they chose this property
Cape Cod is my favorite place in the whole world. I vacationed every summer on the Cape as a child, had grandparents that retired in East Dennis, held summer jobs during college, started my teaching career in Falmouth, was proposed to by my husband on Great Island in Wellfleet, and now have a second home in South Yarmouth. When I cross the Bourne Bridge and come on Cape, I always feel a sense of peace and of coming home. I hope you will end up loving this beautiful place and our new home as much as I do.
What makes this property unique
The neighborhood our home is in is perfect in so many ways. It is quiet but close to everything: shopping, restaurants, sound and bay beaches, churches, and beautiful Long Pond. When we found this house we couldn't get over its location. The house itself is also perfect in so many ways: sunny deck, beautiful gardens, large, new kitchen, huge living room, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a cozy sunroom, and lots of closet space! Plus, we've got the most essential component of a Cape home: an outdoor shower!
