    We loved our stay - Dennis was super responsive and property is beautiful/as advertised. Great location within walking distance to restaurants and beach pass was great ! If you have little kids be aware back door gives easy entry to backyard with deep unfenced pool and steps in the house are steep but with careful supervision we were fine ! Master suite was beautiful and other bedrooms comfortable and spacious. The appliances could use easy upgrades- washer/dryer took a very long time/mildew and dishwasher door broken. We would stay again for sure !

    We had an amazing time at this beautiful antique home in Marston Mills. The property manager was responsive and helpful. The property is very unique with wide pine floors and a variety of antique furnishings throughout, with tasteful modern kitchen and bathrooms. The house offers plenty of places for group activities and quiet corners to relax in. House is in easy Walking distance to a few small stores and cafes. Large yard and heated pool, back patio with awning offer lots of outdoor space for groups to congregate. Great birdwatching from the sun room. When planning, keep in mind that the room with the trundle bed is in a space shared with one of the other bedrooms— it is not in an entirely separate bedroom. We hope to return in future summers!

    We were very pleased with our stay at this beautiful home. The kitchen was well stocked, pool was fantastic and there were many extra such as all linens including pool towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash as well as laundry detergent. We especially loved having the beach pass which allowed us to visit local beaches not otherwise accessible to visitors. Dennis was very attentive and helpful throughout our visit. Overall an excellent experience!

    This 1700s home has been lovingly maintained. The photos are true. Our group was 3 generations, 6 adults, 3 boys ages 10, 13, 15. 6 bedrooms 4 full baths on the second level,one half bath on lower level. FULLY stocked kitchen incl spices. Screened sun porch, TV room and dining room off kitchen, baby grand piano which our three grandsons played every day. Lots of space to relax and spread out. We had an ongoing jigsaw puzzle on the table in main entry area off kitchen. Stored water and drinks in micro refrigerator in same area. Property surrounding home is beautiful and peaceful. Great for bird watching and relaxing by the gorgeous pool. Walkable to gift shop, mini marts, cafe. Fantastic property manager Dennis who is friendly and helpful- he lives next door to main home and is totally available to answer questions or assist with your needs. EASY check in and the easiest check out of any property we've stayed at. Washer dryer on upper level. Beach towels available for every guest's use. Float toys for pool. We were there for a family wedding in Harwich Port and stayed the following week July/ August 2025. Wonderful trip and memories to last.Thank you Dennis for all you did for our family! We very much enjoyed meeting you.

    Our family had a very memorable vacation in Marstons Mills. It was a great location. This unique home is everything advertised and Dennis is a very accommodating host. The pool was enjoyed by all every day. This choice was a home run for us.

    Beautiful property. Loved the pool area. Plenty of kitchen supplies and lots of space for our family of 10. Access to pond and kayaks was advertised but not available. Would have like to see more than one tv.

    Can't say how much we enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful,clean and filled with incredible antiques.. Dennis couldn't have been more helpful-with suggestions of places to go and see. It really felt like a home away from home. Can't wait to go back.

    The house was lovely for a relaxing week with extended family. We spend hours by the pool and evenings in the covered patio area. The grounds are terrific for walking, playing lawn games, and bird watching.

    The house was accurately described, a beautiful restored house with many interesting antiques. We loved the pool area and the proximity to shopping. Saw snakes and eagles and walked to cute shops and restaurants. A wonderful vacation was had by all 10 of us!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay! From the moment we booked, Dennis (property manager) was attentive, professional, and easy to communicate with. The home was even more beautiful in person. It was a treat to stay in such a charming and historical home. The layout was perfect for our family of 12 (grandparents, parents, and children). Although we were a large group there were plenty of places to spread out and enjoy some solitude. We enjoyed sharing family meals in the kitchen, dining room, or patio. The kids spent a ton of time in the pool while the adults relaxed. The location was ideal for exploring the Cape. It was a memorable way to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We hope to return!

We had plenty of bedrooms and baths. The location is super convenient to beaches and stores. Host was very helpful. .

    This charming house with beautiful grounds and a pool was perfection to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday. We were able to receive family at the beginning of the week and friends at the end celebrating at the nearby beaches and sharing dinners by the pool. Dennis really cares about the property and managed our communication well. We would love to visit/rent this beautiful place again in the future.
