Lovely home. Great time with friends!
Lovely home...bright, immaculately clean, comfortable. Very spacious. Just there for a ladies weekend with a few friends in the fall, so I can't speak to the beaches and such, but we have been doing this many years and this home definitely lived up to the description. The owner was delightful and very helpful with any questions. Two bedrooms on the first floor were very helpful for people who might have difficulty with doing a lot of stairs (although there are one or two to get inside.)

We've stayed here for years. Alison's house is always immaculate and completely furnished with many amenities, grill on the deck, and beach stuff in the garage. It's great as a home base to explore the Cape.

Hot start, but good time.
The house was on a main road and looked smaller than the photos. When we entered a swelteringly hot and humid house in the afternoon we quickly began to wilt. We measured over 90 degrees both upstairs and down. The house had been unoccupied for 2 weeks with the AC off and no ventilation. 5 small window air conditioners took nearly 48 hours just to get the house temperature down to 76. Worse, the heat and humidity caused mold to grow on the toilet seat and shower walls in the 1st floor bath. My wife cleaned the toilet seat herself before even unpacking (long day of driving), then contacted the owner via text. There were other cleanliness issues including debris and colored liquid in a refrigerator bin. The front door was stuck so badly it took me 5 minutes to get it open the first day, even longer several days later. This needs immediate attention. There is a bolt lock at the very bottom of the door, which no one would think to look for in an emergency. The owner did respond to our concerns the same day we arrived. She was aghast we found the house with such problems. She arranged for a cleaning person the next day and is refunding 1 day’s rent and the cleaning fee. On the plus side, the family room, kitchen, and formal living room were pretty large and easily accommodated 7 of us at the peak. Beds were comfortable, and the roomy kitchen allowed several cooks to work at the same time. We enjoy this part of the Cape and overall had a good time.

Our family vacation
My family and I stayed here July 6-13 and we were very pleased with the house, there was plenty of room for everyone and very close to everything. The house had everything we needed and there were toys and games for the kids which they enjoyed. The garage had chairs and beach toys, and we used the stroller that was there. I would definitely rent this house again.

Girls trip
A group of six women went to the Cape for a four day getaway. We do this about once a year. We’ve been friends for close to 40 years all of us. The house was spotless. The floors were beautiful. AC worked great. Kitchen was very well stocked.I’m going back in July so I expect it to be the same. Oh, I was very responsive.

Great stay
The house was clean with plenty of rooms/beds. The kitchen was fully supplied and there were plenty of other supplies as well (towels, sheets, toilet paper, etc.). The back deck is a good size with a table and plenty of seating. The road the house is on could be pretty busy, but that isn’t a big enough reason for us to not want to stay again!

Cousins reunion
Five of us live in New York State and we have 4 cousins who live in Marstons Mills. We rarely see each other anymore and when we do it is usually a wake or funeral; our ages range from 60-86!! We decided to spend a weekend at the Cape to catch up with each other. The property was a great location for us and the open kitchen, dining, family room was a perfect gathering space for us on Saturday afternoon. The house was clean and comfortable with a very well stocked kitchen. The weather was cool and cloudy so it was an indoor weekend, but there is a lovely deck for nice weather. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us!

Perfect stay on the Cape
This was a great property on the Cape. I grew up going to visit my grandparents on the Cape and this house had all the character and charm of a classic house on the Cape. It not just feel like a generic house that could have been anywhere. It's a great location to access all parts of the Cape. The host was very responsive and caring. The property had plenty of room for everyone and enough to keep the kids entertained while the adults chatted. It was a little chilly so we didn't get to spend time outside but the yard and the deck looked lovely!

Enjoyable Stay for 8 Adults and a Baby
Home was clean and had enough beds for our party. The listing said there was a spa, which we thought might be a hot tub, but it was not. We did bring most of our own towels and bedding to limit the laundry we'd have to do in the morning before check-out. Overall, this was a great option for our group to attend a wedding in Sandwich MA.

About the host

Hosted by Alison Clark

Host profile image
Alison is a recently retired teacher while John is retired from Ciba-Geigy and from instructing the Dale Carnegie Course. They make their primary home in New Jersey, close to 15 grandchildren. Alison summered on Cape Cod from the mid-1950's when her Grandparents retired to the Cape from the Berkshires to escape mountain snows. The house is Alison and John's second home when others are not there to enjoy it and they keep it immaculate and updated. Their caretaker and grounds keeper lives right down the street and is always available when needed.

Why they chose this property

The original property was a single lot and the original small cape cod home was built by a local contractor for my grandparents when they retired. The original home passed down to the next generation, and my father decided to expand and update the home to fulfill the dreams so often spoken of by the women of the family. Today it is a lovely airy home, fully updated, environmentally sound, new furnace, new windows, and a second piece of property to keep and expand the feeling of the original wooded property.

What makes this property unique

The minute you walk in the door, you feel the tensions of life fall away. The large windowed family room just welcomes you in, and soon you find it is the center of your time in the house. It leads you to the deck where we love to share our meals outdoors, or sit quietly to read a great book. The kitchen is wonderfully spacious for cooking. Step out the door and you are only minutes from every possible Cape Cod activity or restaurant due to the home's central location. Or just stay on the property and enjoy...there is lots available to do right there! Badminton, soccer, foosball, air hockey, board games. It truly is a Home Away From Home...... and you have the time to enjoy it!
