Barefeet Retreat ~ A Family House In Bourne With A Lovely Water View

We stayed at this beautiful property over the holidays to spend time with family. The house and host were awesome. The house was even better than the pictures; very spacious, clean, and comforting. The host was wonderfully accomodating and communicative. The property is on a peninsula in Mashnee Village. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, and exceptionally friendly. Within the property, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was wonderful to cook and bake in, and there were plenty of bathrooms for 7 people. The view of the water from the 2nd floor was gorgeous. Although it is indeed a Barefoot Retreat, it is also a winter retreat. It snowed twice while we were there and roads were plowed pretty quickly. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. We look forward to returning!

The house was great! There was plenty of room for everyone, with wonderful views of the ocean from the bedrooms. The house was also very clean. Rhonda checked in with us to make sure everything was okay and she provided very helpful information about restaurants and activities. We had a great time!

We were in town for a funeral and having the spacious house was welcome. All went fine.

We started out later than we had intended. We were told that the property was to be unlocked and that the owner was traveling the day of our arrival. We arrived after dark and the neighborhood was quite dark as well. Unfortunately the doors were all locked. Luckily I remembered reading in info about a key on a shelf in the shed but it was very dark. I remembered that my phone had a flashlight feature and I found the key. The house is gorgeous like a new construction. I am thankful to have such a beautifully decorated home for rent esp. with the little dogs. We ate deliciously at the Daniel Webster Inn. Wonderful French onion soup and filet mignon. Worth the drive. Just an FYI, a restaurant recommended by the host was he Chartroom which we drove around looking for but it turns out is was closed for the season. Looking forward to revisiting in the summer and trying it then. Loved having so many bathrooms especially traveling with elderly relative. There was no dishwasher detergent but we picked it up at the Gray Gables Little Market. This is a very convenient stop with GREAT coffee and cuts of beef as well as great sandwiches. As one would expect from a small neighborhood store that the prices are above that of a large supermarket. Had to buy a lottery ticket so I could hopefully win and purchase my own property in Bourne. Highly recommend this property. The deck and backyard would be lovely in the warm months.

Had a great stay in space that easily hosted family for holiday dinners. Kitchen is well-equipped and a pleasure in which to cook. Beaches and further ocean views 1 minute walk in any direction. Fireplace was welcome on cold nights and on warmer days we had morning coffee and hot chocolate on the back porch. The beaches are splendid in the winter months and appear to be a great place to swim or boat when warmer. Hosts provided a lot of useful information on the area and were responsive. Hope we may have time to spend there again!

Barefeet Retreat has plenty of room for extended family. We stayed for a week in the beginning of October. The house is sparkling clean and loaded with amenities. We loved staying there and will stay again if we can gather everyone together. Four bathrooms!! Privacy for all! The master bedroom was a dream. You are close to everything on the cape, but it feels like your own little island. A short walk to the beach, too. Overall, it was a dream come true!!

Our family was able to spread out and enjoy this large, clean, comfortably furnished home in a beautiful, quiet waterside neighborhood. There was everything we needed and more — well-appointed bedrooms, kitchen, baths, living/great room, laundry; attractive yard and lovely surrounding streets for morning walks. All was neat and clean and we felt very much at home. Five stars! Great find!

Perfect location easy to get to quiet unique neighborhood -

Staying at Barefeet Retreat was the highlight of my time on Cape Cod. Ronda is a wonderful host who knows how to make a temporary home for travelers, knowing that it will be remembered as the best part of the vacation. The spacious and immaculately clean house is located in a great, quiet, little neighborhood a few minutes from the Bourne Bridge -- perfect for day trips both on the Cape and elsewhere in New England. The house is outfitted with comfortable furniture, bedding, towels, kitchen equipment and utensils, everything you might need; my little group wanted for nothing. I was fortunate in that mine was an extended stay; during that time Ronda checked on me periodically to make sure all was well and kept me abreast of regional power restoration efforts after a big nor'easter adventure and made sure I had what I needed during the brief outage. I cannot say enough good things about Barefeet Retreat! I hope to be able to come again in the near future.

My family and I had such a great week. Super clean and comfortable house. The location was absolutely perfect for a quiet get away with the family. Can’t wait to stay here again next year! Communication with Rhonda was great also. Overall a wonderful experience.
