Mid-Cape - Walk to Bass River - Sleeps 8-10 in Bass River

Large enough home to fit 2 families or large group; Share the cost!

Our family friendly year round single family home can make your vacation memories come true, whether during the beautiful & busy summer season or the relaxing quiet off-season. Centrally located in the middle of Cape Cod, you are near everything you would want or need on your vacation, whether you are looking for quiet relaxation, golf, beaches, biking trails, shopping, great restaurants, outdoor activities, etc.

The Ocean and Bay Beaches of Yarmouth & Dennis are a short drive away, or take a longer ride to one of the beautiful National Seashore Beaches that can be explored year round or swimming in summer months. You also have the ability staying at our home to take a short walk to explore more of the Cape's natural beauty in/around Follin’s Pond, Kelley's Bay which are at the end of Bass River. Summertime adds more options on Bass River and other venues like fishing, crabbing, or other water involved activities. With boat access rights on Bass River, your boat has access via Bass River to Nantucket Sound.

Walk the quiet family neighborhood streets and you will find you are on a peninsula that juts into Bass River, and is surrounded by salt water ponds and bays. The neighborhood entrance gives you a spectacular view of a large area of cranberry bogs. It's a nice walk or around the neighborhood.

Shopping is one of the most popular vacation pastimes no matter what time of year you visit. You will find contemporary malls and many downtown specialty gift shops, antique shops and many outlet stores. You are centrally located in Mid Cape, but you can find all of the above once from Cape Cod Canal Area all the way to the tip of Provincetown, and don't forget Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

Sports range from fishing, boating, whale watching, biking, golf (regular and miniature) and many other sports related activities, again weather and seasonal availability may be a consideration when planning your trip.

If you like baseball, one of the great traditions of summer on the Cape is the Cape Cod Baseball League. It has been the premier amateur baseball league in the nation since 1885. There are at least ten teams and all have the most talented college players on their roster.

The Dennis-Yarmouth Red Sox’s home field is in Yarmouth, and the games are free! Search on the net for the Yarmouth-Dennis or YD Red Sox; as it will explain it better. There are currently 183 former Cape Cod players in the Major Leagues including some of the current & former Boston Red Sox players. The Y-D Red Sox home field is about 2.5 miles from our home and under a 10 minute car ride. Games have been free to all in past years.
(See Cape Cod Baseball Website for more info.)


So there are many places to go, see, explore, many sports to play or watch. Do not forget day trips to Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, P-Town or exploring the National Seashore in from Chatham up to P-Town and don't forget whale watching! Then there is the restaurants that cover every gambit of cuisine, from fancy to family friendly to cafe type to train dinner or lunch trips, but you can never go wrong with fresh Cape Cod seafood; It’s the best!

Do your homework; Check out the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce or the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce websites. There is also a site for "Kids on the Cape" that will give you much more info as well for family activities and the National Seashore/Parks websites for more info than you need!

Our home has just about everything you need to be as comfortable as you are at your home. The house is big enough that parents and children can have their quiet times without ever feeling crowded, and multiple cable TV's allow for different TV viewing interests. We now have wireless internet if you need to be in touch with the office, friends or want to Google for Cape restaurants or activities. It also helps the kids that bring down their Wiis or PSPs. We only have a Nintendo 64, so take that into you planning .... or not parents.

The side yard just begs for a seasonal wiffle ball tournament! Our home is big enough for one large or extended family, two smaller families or for up to three couples. We also have rented to many small groups and couples who want a nice quiet residential neighborhood as their home base.
