Our family , consisting of the grandparents, the daughters with their husbands and 2 year old sons, returned to Kismet for a second year in a row the week of 7/29/2023 – 8/5/2023, and it was exactly as we had remembered it. Once again, we found the house to be spotless and containing everything that we had discussed ahead of time. The layout is perfect as each set of parents has their own room and bathroom and there is an adorable “kids room” already stocked with toys. Speaking of stocked, the kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything we needed to grill a few nights and have a lobster bake which has become our traditional last night meal. The best part about this home is its location, a short five minute walk down a street which leads to a beautiful, family friendly , extremely well kept beach. The house had more than enough beach chairs and towels for everyone and also came with a cart to wheel them down the street, although , truth be told, we put the kids in the cart and carried the chairs. The outdoor shower was perfect for cleaning up after a day in the sand and a ground level room with an easily accessible sliding door made storing everything until the next day a snap. We loved it so much we are already booked for next summer. If you are looking for a great house for vacation on the Cape, we highly recommend Kismet.
We rented this property for ourselves (mom & dad) & our 3 adult children & their spouses to stay at for a family wedding in Harwich & then afterwards to spend a week’s vacation together. This is a beautiful and roomy house in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. It is walking distance to the beach and has a wonderful porch in front of it that overlooks a marsh. We felt it was centrally situated for our cape vacation excursions to Truro, Provincetown and Hyannis & Nantucket. We felt the only flaw was that the wall to wall rug in the living room and on the stairs needed to be cleaned. The rest of the house and the bedding and towels were clean and well maintained. The kitchen had every utensil that we needed to cook family meals as well as plenty of space to eat in the kitchen. We were very happy staying here and would rent this house again.
We had a great stay. It was clean and there is lots of space for everyone to be comfortable. My teenagers really enjoyed using the pool table and having their own area to do their thing. The walk to the beach is short, probably about 5 minutes. I really appreciated the use of the beach room. It has towels, toys, noodles, a wagon (perfect to transport my toddler) and more. The owner is very responsive to questions and the property manager was really nice. We had family with us of all ages (4 months to 73 years young) and we all agreed we would stay again.
The photo's do not do this place justice, the kitchen/dining/living area is much larger in real life, our family of ten (ranging from 12 to 80+) had plenty of space to spread out and make ourselves at home, especially when combined with the games room on the lower level. Exceptionally clean (spotless) and well equipped. Kitchen had everything that we needed - we cooked at home every night. A million towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and a great wee pull-along to take everything to the beach. We have rented plenty of places on the Cape, some a lot fancier (and a lot more $$$), but I think that this has been the fave so far. A very short walk to the never-busy Red River Beach, we went swimming every day, the family could come and go as they pleased which made for a very relaxed week. The large deck, with plenty of seating, was also a popular hang-out spot. The property manager, Phil, was very responsive to any questions and made us feel very much at home. We would 100% rent this house again.
This is a wonderful house for a family vacation. The house is spacious, very clean and has a well equipped kitchen. The beach room has everything you need for your visit to the beach, which is a few minute walk from the house. The host was super responsive when we had an issue with the internet. This is definitely one of the best summer rental available and I hope to be able to stay again in the future.
Great house with a short walk to the beach. Had all the beach gear you needed. Very easy check in/check out process! We had a blast!
My family finally got to have a long awaited vacation celebrating my eldest turning 35 and my husband turning 65. The bonus of waiting due to covid is we got to add two new grandsons-ages 9 months and 10 months. What a perfect house for the three families! Let me start by saying that Christine is very responsive with emails that began when we first booked the place. Having two babies I had a lot of questions and she always got back to me practically immediately. The check-in was flawless and the house manager Phil was also immediately responsive for any questions that needed attention. The house is very large and was spotless. All of the bedrooms are roomy and the living room could easily accommodate two babies with all of their toys and the rest of the family working on a 1000 piece puzzle (which we finished on the last night-phew). The kitchen was large, fairly well equipped and had a huge table that we comfortably sat around for meals unless we were eating outside on the wrap around deck. There is also a large playroom downstairs with a full size pool table and two bedrooms. Each family had their own bathroom which we prefer and there is an added outside shower. The beach room as we called it had all of the equipment needed for the beach including a wagon to carry chairs and towels and all other items. There are beach toys, noodles, a travel stroller and various floats. The walk is exactly as described , no more than 8 minutes. The beach is beautiful and never seemed crowded (note though we were there end of June, not really in full season). All in all a great vacation-we are choosing our week for next summer now.
Beautiful spacious clean house with a lovely yard two blocks from the beach. Our large group spanning three generations gathered on the large decks to socialize and had nightly pool tournaments in the billiard room. After trying many different houses for our family yearly get away on cape cod, we have finally found the house everyone wants to go back to!!!
Perfect!
Had an amazing time! House was very spacious, ideal for 6 adults. We loved sitting out on the deck and how close the beach was, only about a 5 min walk. The beach was never crowded, even in August. Also appreciated all the beach chairs and gear available.
