Fantastic property that served our family very well!
Great location! Easy access to the rail trail for biking, quick ride to the beach right down the street. Everything was conveniently located in close proximity to the house. Home is nice and spacious for a larger group. The back deck is great for lounging outside. Beautiful, newer kitchen was well used. Homeowner is a thorough communicator. Thank you, Jim, we had a wonderful stay!

A great winter get away
We had our family of 10 with age ranges from 3 - 80. The property was located well near grocery shops, restaurants, and fire wood. The owner was highly responsive and resolved any questions raised quickly. The two best things about the property for us were - The Kitchen and the bedrooms. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. Kitchen has all the needed utensils, equipment, silverware. We had a great time.

Sunsets & Serenity
This was the perfect spot for our family vacation . My parents, siblings, and our spouses & children decided on this place. We loved the location, we took the backyard path to the bike trail everyday. The beach was a short walk away. We brought our car down to drop off our chairs etc. then walked or biked down. Ellis Landing Beach was the perfect spot to watch the sunset. We ate dinner in the back deck almost every night and enjoyed the privacy of the sprawling backyard. The house was clean and had plenty of accommodations for all of us to have our space. There were 7 adults, 2 teens, and a 6 year old. We all had a wonderful week! Jim was on hand to answer the few questions I had, and responded right away.

Beautiful property, great location.
This house had plenty of room for the entire family, and enough yard and deck space to host extended family in the afternoon and evenings. Our host brought fresh hanging flowers and replaced a broken firepit one day as well. He truly cared about us having the best experience and the property looking great. Like all of Cape Cod, there were busy times of day on the road out front, but it was never noisy, and it wasn't impossible to get in and out of the driveway. We have stayed in the Yarmouth area in years past and we found that Brewster is much more "central" to the things we like to do. We were much closer to the National Seashore, the Wellfleet Audubon Sanctuary, downtown Chatham and even the couple locations in Yarmouth we like to visit were easy to get back to. Great bookstore, coffee, bakery, beach and restaurants all within walking distance and the Cape Cod Rail trail is accessible from a walking path in the back yard OR just a short ride/walk down the street. We will definitely be considering this property again when we return to the Cape.

Unbelievable Experience in Brewster
We stumbled across this property while looking for a place to stay in Brewster for a wedding and week-long vacation. We absolutely loved it. The property itself was huge, and the house felt comfortably lived in. The convenience factor was tremendous (less than a minute drive to Ocean Edge Resort, gas/groceries/liquor directly across the street, great restaurants, beach and other activities all within walking distance). The owner was super attentive and responsive when contacted. Highly recommended for a family trip.

Great spot for family vacation.
The house was spacious and accommodated our extended family well. There was a cabinet of spices for our use. The write up stated “pet friendly” but Mr McGinnis changed the policy but not the write up. The upstairs shower didn’t drain very well and was fixed, but still continued to pool ankle deep water. . There was no direct hook up with the rail trail which was disappointing. However we were completely comfortable there and I would rent this property again.

Amazing Family Vacation
We had a wonderful family vacation at Jim’s home to celebrate my parent’s 50th Anniversary! It’s on an amazing piece of property and in an excellent location; very walkable to the beach, a coffee shop, bakery, and restaurant. There was very easy access to the rail trail, and the adult bikes available to use were great. We put many miles on them! The home was very spacious, and the six adults and two children who stayed never felt crowded. The expansive yard was ideal for kids to have fun in. Jim provided an extremely detailed write-up with things to know about the house, local attractions, shopping/dining suggestions, and much more. We referred to it many times. Jim genuinely cared about our guest experience, and was incredibly prompt, responsive, and gracious in addressing a few issues that popped up. We’d definitely return to create more family memories!

Roomy interior and outdoor paradise
We were a party of 10 and fit perfectly in the 5 bedrooms. Home was clean and had all the modern conveniences, loved the kitchen bar. With 6 teens, no problems spreading out with multiple floors and the two TV rooms. But of course we did t spend much time watching TV with the wide open, huge backyard. Plenty of space to play anything, whiffle ball games were a blast. And then we had the convenience of the bike trail, quick walk/ride from the house to the main trail and we were off. Took the entire family out riding on multiple days. Owner was very responsive to the couple of issues that popped up, would definitely rent here again.

The property is located in a great area of Brewster. And, the house had a great layout for multiple family units with a bedroom wing down stairs and the other bedrooms upstairs.

Absolutely wonderful.
This was our first vacation as a family in forever... and James' property did NOT disappoint! First and foremost, communication with James, from beginning to end, could not have been any easier. The house was incredible! The kitchen was so spacious, dining right there and easy for kids/anyone, appliances were up to date and awesome/clean, and killer windows overlooking the expansive backyard with easy views from R to L and in every direction for kids playing while making dinner. A dream. We loved that there were two televisions in divided locations for kids and adults to watch in the evening. The screened in porch upon entry was ideal for wet/sandy/muddy items to land, keeping the house easier to maintain. As a family with two young kids, we ended up staying on the bottom floor as a family, which worked out great. There was a full bath, master suite and kids' room with bunk beds all on the first floor (a second family could easily fit on the top floor, as it had a second full bath and three other bedrooms). For our first vrbo, this exceeded our expectations. We also had a dog and the yard, though not fenced in, was GREAT for him. We went in the early spring, so a plethora of ticks and coyotes to keep in mind with small kids or pets. LOVED this property and plan to return. Activities/places we loved: local tide pool beaches right off main road and within walking distance, "Eat Cake For Breakfast" (BEATS ALL bakery open certain days/times), "Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters" within walking distance, "Fare and Just" vegan/vegetarian within walking distance, and "Stone L'Oven Pizza" also super close. This house was so central to beaches and GREAT food. Enjoy!

This house had everything you could ask for, cozy living rooms, big kitchen, big yard, all kinds of accessories and access to a pond. We had two families that included three teenagers and two dogs and there was space for everyone. It felt like a home and was very kid and dog friendly. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked and we did a lot of cooking. The WiFi was great and the kids were able to connect their game console to the TV. There was even some workout equipment. The dogs loved the beaches and the woods (make sure to be up to date on your tick medicine). The showers had good water pressure and there was lots of hot water. It was great having the bike trail so close and corner store, coffee shop and beach in walking distance.

Wonderful Family Get Away
The house in Brewster is lovely. The 1940’s style brings comfort and lots sun and great sight lines. The kitchen was modern and tasteful with lots of space for cooking for our large family. The property itself was large and backed up to a lovely forested area which led to Blueberry Pond. There was a rowboat but no dock. There is also a rails to trails pathway. The asphalt trail provides ample space for runners, bikers and walkers. There was a very large deck and patio. There is a lovely beach a short walk from the house as are a number of restaurants and shops. The only thing I would add is some backyard fencing so the dogs can’t get out.

Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay, and made good use of the kitchen - which is also one of my favorite rooms in the house, especially for family occasions. As it relates to perimeter pet fencing, we try to strike a balance between the convenience for pet owners of the large enclosure and the openness of the property as we have it currently. Will give it some thought.
