Updated Retreat w/ Lots of Perks: Big Yard, Canoe, Bikes Stroll to Long Pond

Ocean Bird Nest

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Situated on a corner lot with views of James Pond from nearly every room, this 4BR/2BA house offers a tranquil retreat. Affording a walkable locale, you’ll love being a pleasant stroll from Long Pond as well as local restaurants and attractions. Cruise the surrounding area on the provided bikes, or launch the canoe for adventures on the water.

With two floors of stylish living space, your completely remodeled home features rich hardwood flooring, all new kitchen appliances, and beautifully tiled bathrooms. Outside, an expansive fenced yard offers a gas grill and al fresco dining.

There’s plenty of driveway space to BYOB (bring your own boat)!

LIVING AREA

Two sofas provide comfy seating in the open living area. Relax and watch a movie on the 49” smart TV.

KITCHEN & DINING

The beautifully updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances and marble countertops--a great space to create your own meals!

A breakfast bar for two creates a cozy spot to sip morning coffee, while a dining table provides additional seating for four.

BEDROOMS & BATHS

This two-story home sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms, each appointed with hotel-quality linens. Stocked with a complimentary starter supply of toiletries, a bathroom with a tub/shower combination can be found on each floor.

Downstairs, the master bedroom features a plush queen bed, an armchair, desk, and a crib. Also on the first floor, a second bedroom is outfitted with two twin beds.

Upstairs, you’ll find two more bedrooms. One has two full-size beds, while the other features a queen bed.

Except for the second bedroom, each bedroom is equipped with an AC unit.

OUTDOOR AREAS

The large fenced yard has plenty of room for the kids to play. Toss a Frisbee while dinner sizzles on the Weber gas grill, then enjoy a family cookout on the patio with al fresco dining for eight.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, beach gear, three bicycles, and a canoe (with two adult life jackets).

Two driveways provide ample parking for up to four cars and a boat.

THE LOCATION

Within a half mile, Wings Grove Beach at Long Pond provides a great family-friendly lake beach with calm water and a roped off swimming area. A sloped sandy area offers a nice spot to lounge in the sun. You’ll also find a playground and a basketball court.

For classic New England dishes in a rustic setting, head to Hearth & Kettle. Or go out for ice cream at Cape Cod Creamery -- a family-owned parlor scooping up homemade ice cream inspired by local sights. Both are also within a half mile of your home.

Enjoy close proximity to additional restaurants, local activities, and ocean beaches. Boasting the title of Yarmouth’s largest and most popular beach, Seagull beach is a quick 4 miles away.

Nice home with some (minor) shortcomings

We had a very nice stay in this modern looking. comfortable cottage with lots of space in the living as well as the bedrooms. The location is great; very central on the Cape. Unfortunately the dining table can only seat 6 (little small for cottage that sleeps 8) and the backyard is not well maintained. Other than that it is a great cottage. Be aware that you have to pay service fees to both VRBO and VACASA when you book through VRBO.

Nice house & location

We stayed here for a week in September and had a great trip. The house was very clean and located in a great central location on the Cape for easy exploring in all directions. The house had everything we needed, although we did have a couple suggestions ….. the bathtub/shower floors were quite slippery and there were no tub mats available to make it safer, plus nothing to hold onto. The bathroom also had only one towel rack (for 4 people). Otherwise, we loved our stay!

We had a really nice stay at this place. The location is great with water park, restaurants, mini golf and much more within 10-15 minutes driving distance. The house was well kept, check in process was smooth and we had all the help and quick responses from property manager. We had a lovely time. Thank you

Fall colors

Loved the location for getting to both ends of Cape Cod easily. The house was a great floor plan for 4 couples. Only complaint is not enough comfortable seating in the living room area for a house that can sleep so many. We had one cold, very rainy day to hang out there, but there just weren’t enough places for everyone to sit.

The house was perfect for our stay!

The house was the perfect size with more than enough room for 3 adults and 2 teens. Everyone had their own space. Place was clean and fully equipped. Super private backyard and hardly any street noise. Our only negative was the washing machine. When running any cycle, it would make this ungodly sort of grinding sound. We quickly learned to throw a load in when we went out so we didn't have to listen to it! We would stay here again for sure.

Great July 4th Weekend

This was my second time staying at this beautiful home. Just like the time before it was so clean, well kept and nice. It is a great location with so much to do and see in the are and the house fit 8 of us no problem at all. The backyard is a major plus too with the grille and outdoor seating area. Would love to stay again in the future as it truly is a perfect home

A Very clean home away from home.

This place was very clean and had everything needed to feel comfortable while away from home. We used just about everything provided! We went shopping and was able to cook all our meals in this very well equipped kitchen! ( FYI: there was no ice cream scoop :) Loved the bikes. I just wish we new where to use the canoe on the pond across the road. The instructions for the house where very clear and I liked the tablet was very useful.

Spotless and spacious!

The place was fantastic, clean, bright, spacious and fully stocked with anything that you think you might need. Communication with Turnkey was fast and efficient. House is located walking distance to main shops, across form a small pond and around the corner from a bigger one. Nice area to walk, jog or ride bikes. We took out the canoe and enjoyed a nice fishing trip.
