See what it is like to stay in a historical property nestled along Old Kings Highway yet so CLOSE (2 1/2 miles) to beautiful SANDY NECK BEACH on CAPE COD BAY! (owner provides Beach Pass, which is worth $475. Damage deposit is $875. to include loss of or failure to return $475. beach pass).

“The Charles Gray House circa 1835 has many exquisite updates. It has the warmth and charm of yesteryear combined with the richness of today’s trends with all the various mod cons. This gracious home sits on over two acres of fenced in private rolling grounds accented by stone walls, brick walkways, glorious gardens, and a delightful gazebo awaiting you with a book in hand and a pot of tea or your favorite glass of wine.

Indulge yourself in comfort while stepping through this home with the wonderful flow to its floor plan offering a palette of colors from room to room. It’s graced with the original pine floors, has an eat-in kitchen with soapstone countertops as well as a formal dining room that can accommodate 8 guests for dinner.

There is a beautiful sunny first floor bedroom with a queen size bed and ensuite-bath with a glassed in tile shower adjacent to a study/library. The elegant bannister staircase in the foyer leads up to two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths~ the queen bed master has both a soaking tub and glassed in shower, and the third bedroom has two twin size beds and a private bath.

Recently installed is a brand new generator in the event the power goes out from a storm. Also pretty new is the air conditioning (split system) on the second floor with central a/c on the first floor. The spacious living room has comfortable furniture, custom built -ins, a baby grand piano to tickle the ivories and French doors leading into a bright four season sunroom with ample wicker furniture, a 60” flat screen TV and dining for 8. The sunroom door leads to a deck with additional dining for 3, and with stairs leading down into one of the fenced in yards for your dog. The owner will consider a small (up to 20 lbs.) non-shedding dog with a $150 pet fee.

There is an additional deck off of the kitchen with a table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee under a pergola that is beautifully embellished with hanging and potted flowering plants. A few steps down and through the gate is a brick patio with a Weber gas grill and dining for 8. BONUS: Wash off the beach sand in the enclosed hot outdoor shower!

Come enjoy this special Cape Cod getaway which is so handy to everything the mid-cape area has to offer. There are numerous art galleries and antique shops along 6A, as well as whale watching outings from nearby Barnstable Harbor (Millway Beach).

Enjoy waterside dining at popular Mattakeese Wharf restaurant, shopping at The Cape Cod Mall, public golf at The Barnstable Fairgrounds, and there is always exciting nightlife in downtown Hyannis! Stroll down Main Street and look at all the menus until you find what you are looking for. Seek out Ocean Street for the best clams. Take in the gorgeous sunsets from Baxter’s, Tugboat’s on Hyannis Harbor or Fisherman’s View in Sandwich on the Cape Cod canal. There are ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket from either Hyannis or Woods Hole.

We look forward to having you as our guests!

    The listing is accurate! What a fun house with lots of history. Being able to enjoy blackberries in the garden was a bonus for the kids for sure!

    Enjoyed our stay. Great to have separate bathrooms for each bedroom. Loved the TV room / year round porch. Giant fenced in yard kept our dog busy for hours.

    We had an amazing stay at this clean, historical property. It's an excellent location and a really beautiful spot. The yard is so nice to have as well. Just a note that both stairways are rather steep in case there are elderly folks or people with disabilities staying with you. There is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor that is much more accessible. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!

    Booking and checkin were seamless! The home is cozy and welcoming! Very clean and charming. I couldn’t stop taking photographs! My one note is that the back stairs are so steep and the ceiling was so low that I preferred to block them off so no one would use them during our stay. The third bedroom is lovely but as you come out the door and into the hallway, there is a step down onto half a landing with the other half being the top step in the staircase. We didn’t need that third bedroom so I just closed the door so no one would go in there but potential renters should know about this just so they are aware. It is an old historic home and these things are part of the charm but bringing my 18 month old grandson along on this trip caused me to look at things differently. The overall experience was wonderful!!!

    We loved our stay at the Charles Gray home. It had so much charm and we enjoyed each area of the home. We loved the property and gardens as well. The home included everything we might need! Don't hesitate to rent this home, we would definitely come back to it in the future. We would highly recommend this home for adults as well as families with young children. The old and new features balanced the home nicely. Many thanks for sharing your home with us Kinnet! Also a great area close to so many things on the Cape!

    The house and property were absolutely gorgeous. Better than the pictures. Our children were in heaven in the backyard. We had to force them to go to the beach, they just loved all the gardens and berries and privacy! Inside was amazing too- incredibly clean, so well stocked with anything you could ever need! The bedrooms were so cozy and adorable. The owner thought of everything and was available and very informative. We couldn’t have asked for more. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer. Also the location was great- easy to get to other towns on the Cape and out and about. We would come back in a heart beat.

    This is just a truly beautiful home! The grounds are lush and ample. We had a wonderful time in Cape Cod! I wish our stay was longer. Check in was easy. Having a first floor bedroom was great and needed. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful. It was so nice to be able to have our dog with us and know she was safe in the yard! Thank you Kinnet for all your help!

    We spent 3 days with friends at this property. The house was equipped with everything we needed and well maintained. We appreciated the tranquillity and warm atmosphere of this historic home and the nicely landscaped garden. The location was convenient to visit the surrounding. We highly recommend this property.
