At the same time, our paradise is minutes away from the Cape's shopping meccas, theaters, museums, music venues, excellent restaurants, hospital, supermarkets—all that human civilization has to offer.
Local favorite for walking and jogging, a three mile loop passes the house on its way to village church, historic homes and whale watch.

Perfect place to stay for a long week on vacation. Awesome property, rare house on land with tons of space and fields around. Very rare to find this on Cape Cod. Property has some very cool history. Kitty was amazing to talk with, caring, and interactive with our stay from before checkin, during, and after checkout. Will no doubt be my go to place to stay when I am back in Cape Cod.
a world apart, an oasis of old CC at truly unique Cape Cod experience a great host made everything even more special
What a charming house, lovely property and ideal location. We enjoyed a comfortable stay in the Novak House. We savored morning coffee on the sun porch, cooked nightly in the very well appointed kitchen, and then scooted downstairs for a couple of ping pong matches. Owner Kitty was kind enough to stop by and offer us a tour (yes please!) of the historied property. The beach was an easy walk, as were the local market, a number of restaurants and our whale watching cruise. That’s convenience! I highly recommend Novak House - what a find.
Kitty met us when we went to stay. I needed a getaway from my crazy busy job schedule. My partner and I met some friends who were also staying in the cape. Kitty was more than welcoming. She gave us a tour of the property and some really cool background to the house and the area. You can tell she is passionate about the house and the land. The house itself is very clean and very comfy/cozy. We had a lovely stay. Kitty was very understanding about our friends crashing with us while we visited. I wish I could have taken more time off just to take in the views. Very peaceful. Would love to visit again when I have time.
What a great stay! If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful get away surrounded by nature, this is a perfect place! The house was exactly as described. The location was perfect - 7 min walk to the local beach, near the hiking trails and central to everything else via car. Kitchen was fully stocked, living room and bedrooms very comfy. Kids enjoyed the front and back yards. AC and washer/dryer worked perfectly. Communication was easy. And Kitty was just a delight - thank you for your hospitality and for taking the time to walk us through the property! We really enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay in this property. It was great for taking walks and exploring the nearby harbor. We did some kayaking and swimming and also explored some of the local sights. It was a very nice vacation.
The property is just as described by the host - no embellishments. Close to Hyannis (4 miles or so) which has good restaurants and the port terminal to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket ferries. Property is expansive and it is possible to take a nice walk and access the beach without leaving the property. Very relaxing and serene, full of beautiful birds and rabbits.
