Houses in Cape Cod

Spacious and immaculate custom home.
We had a fantastic family vacation in Falmouth and Anne’s house greatly exceeded all of our expectations! Comfortable, beautiful decorated and appointed with every amenity. We will be back!

4 Bed/3 Bath House-Middle of town, Patio+BBQ
Wonderful annual mother/daughter weekend location! Very walkable to all Ptown has to offer. Matthew was a great host, responsive and accommodating! We appreciated the many comfortable beds and high end linens. As others have mentioned, this is an historic home with a rich and "traveled" history, that is being lovingly restored and updated. As such, not everything is perfect, yet. Side entrance is awkward, but very structurally secure. (I'm physically disabled and was able to navigate independently with care). We look forward to Miss Ma'am's metamorphosis and would definitely stay again!

Renovated Coastal Cape Home
What a great winter getaway spot! My wife and I love the cape (even in the winter when it’s much quieter) and Vasilios’s house was perfect for us and our two little kids. House was spacious, extremely clean, and close proximity to all the things we love. The communication was great all along the way, even during a moment of panic when we realized we forgot our Pack n Play, Vasilios quickly let us know the house had a spare. We had two great meals at The Den and Brax Landing just a few minutes from the house. We also hit the Red Cottage for breakfast right down the road and that was the perfect way to cap off a great long weekend post check out. We’re already talking about renting from Vasilios again for a week in the summer. Highly recommend.

"The Fieldstone Beach House"
Nice place with everything we needed in it. Andreas was super great. We went in a fishing charter and he let us borrow a cooler for our trip. The showers were amazing. The outside sitting area with a fire pit was one of the greatest features. We are a cooking family and although there were two cooking areas to stay together and cook it was a tight fit. What we got for the price was a really good deal.

The Mojito House with Hot Tub, Arcade and Theater.
We had such a great stay at the Mojito house! It was perfect for our girls weekend. Wendy and Tim were wonderful hosts! From the start of booking all the way through check-in and checkout they were helpful, very responsive and accommodating! The house is set up perfectly to either entertain or relax. We really loved the movie theater room as well as the arcade room! And of course we spent time in the hot tub outside. A great location close to many restaurants shops, and downtown Plymouth. This is the second time we have stayed at one of Wendy and Tim's rental properties. Can't wait to check out another one!

Kelley House Sunny 3br, 2.5ba Steps to Town
Great location and perfect house for 7-8 people. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. We actually stayed here 11 years ago so awesome to see the renovations that took place. We love this location because you are right near town and next door to farland (great for coffee and breakfast sandwiches). You can’t beat this location and the host was very communicative. We had no issues staying here and would do so again.

NEW! 2 Houses, Main House plus Guest House
We stayed here with a large group of friends including toddlers and babies for a friend’s wedding. We loved the space, especially sitting out on the deck together, having two separate spaces so some friends could stay up chatting while the kids slept in the other house was excellent. We would highly recommend this house for a fun and relaxing group trip!

2 Story/2 bed VH home w backyard
Leah’s place was as advertised. Great location for exploring the whole island. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything! We had a great first visit to MV!

Hillside Cottage
We stayed at the Hillside Cottage for 6 nights—our third year there. The location is perfect, the cottage is beautifully appointed, and it is always immaculately clean. Jeff, the host, is great with communication and easily available if there are any questions. We hated to leave and are already looking forward to returning next year!

Marilyn’s cottage was a perfect weekend getaway retreat! Although the weather was cold & rainy, the cottage was super cozy. And Marilyn was very responsive to questions. I hope to definitely return!

What a great find! Very clean and comfy. Great deck in back. We enjoyed our morning coffee w/the peaceful view and sea birds. Wonderful host. 5 stars is not enough. Also, very accessible to Uber. Perfect weekend!

The Sea Glass Cottage was absolutely perfect 👍 My daughters alternated staying with me and they loved it too 👍 Even my Physical Therapy team had positive comments about how nice it was !

Friendly host! Allowed us to bring our 4 little dogs! Hard to find a host that will allow this. Clean and peaceful property.

Beach Cottage, without going over bridges to Cape!
Beautiful, peaceful and one of the very best place to stay for tranquility. Host was very responsive and notified us that we could check in early without having to request. Such a wonderful message to receive to start a nice weekend away. Making us so comfortable to stay at this amazing cottage. If anyone reading this is looking for a relaxing, cozy cottage with a great host, then this is your place!

Sweet Cottage w/ yard, 1.5BR, Walk to Town & Water
We would definitely recommend Deb’s and Sharon’s cottage as a place to stay. The location is great, as it is within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the water, but is tucked away in a quiet little neighborhood so it still also offers plenty of privacy. They were wonderful and responsive hosts and checked on us throughout our stay, though we didn’t end up needing a thing. They were gracious enough to allow our dog Bella join for the weekend too, which we appreciated very much as she goes everywhere with us. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would definitely look to book again if we make our way back to the beautiful island!

Cabin @ Newcomb Hollow Beach
This guesthouse and the surrounding area are beautiful, romantic, and peaceful to stay in. It was easy to check in and out and we would love to stay here again.

Eastham Escape
Very clean, great location, and very welcoming and responsive hosts!

Walk2Beach, HotTub, FirePit, PetsOk
Very nice home, amenities were top notch. Definitely a good find if you're looking to stay in the area!

Shirley's Place - Pet Friendly Sleeps Six!
We loved our weekend at Karen's place! The house was cozy and clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (including treats for our pup)! The yard and deck were nice and private, and the house was conveniently located to many restaurants, shops, and not far from the water. Karen made us feel right at home!
Your guide to Cape Cod
All About Cape Cod
Spanning a 70-mile-long hooked peninsula on the Atlantic Coast, Cape Cod has been a beloved beach getaway for generations. The Cape is dotted with lighthouses, sandy beaches, and 15 New England beach resort towns. There are saltbox cottages and weathered, shingled bungalows as well as ice cream parlors, candy shops filled with saltwater taffy, and seafood shacks that claim the best lobster rolls around.
The peninsula is divided into four regions. The Upper Cape, which includes Falmouth, Mashpee, and Sandwich, is closest to Boston and historic Plymouth. The Mid-Cape is the densest region and includes Barnstable, Yarmouth, and Hyannis, where you’ll find the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum. The former whaling village of Brewster is in the Lower Cape, alone with Chatham and Harwich. Don’t skip the Outer Cape — it might be quite a drive, but the gorgeous Cape Cod National Seashore and the artsy, LGBTQ+ destination of Provincetown are well worth it.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cape Cod
Peak season on Cape Cod is between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when the days are long, sunny, and hot, with temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. There can be isolated summer thunderstorms, but rain is rare at this time of year. Humidity, on the other hand, is not. But while the crowds flock here for summer vacation, the Cape is a year-round destination. Fall has become increasingly popular, thanks to its sunny, brisk, 60-degree days and brilliant foliage, and spring visitors enjoy warm, 70-degree beach weather before the summer crowds arrive. Even Cape Cod winters, when temperatures drop into the 40s and snow falls, are charming if you like lonely, blustery beaches and curling up by a fire.
Top things to do in Cape Cod
Cape Cod National Seashore
While lively, convenient beaches line the peninsula, it’s well worth visiting the pristine beaches within the 27,000-acre Cape Cod National Seashore. But the park is not all about sandy shores: thirteen hiking trails and three bike trails wind through pristine dunes, wetlands, and scrub oak forests.
Whale Watching
Between mid-April and late October, hundreds of humpback, finback, and minke whales arrive at their feeding grounds along the Massachusetts coast. Many tour companies will guarantee sightings. Boats leave from various locations including Hyannis, Provincetown, Barnstable, Orleans, and Plymouth.
The Islands
You could spend an entire vacation rubbing shoulders with famous folks on Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard, but passenger ferries from several Cape towns make it possible to visit either on a day trip. On Nantucket, spend an afternoon wandering the historic town and the Whaling Museum; on Martha’s Vineyard, be sure to visit the town of Aquinnah, home of the local Wampanoag people, and its beautiful clay cliffs, as well as the old-fashioned historic carousel in Oak Bluffs.
