House rental in Marstons Mills, Massachusetts - Casual, Comfortable, Luxurious - And a Great Location! - Property 251642

Enjoy your vacation home: This is a wonderful spacious home, lots of room to relax with your family & friends, and private spaces too. Cooking buffs will delight in the kitchen: with 6 gas stovetop burners, refrigerator with freezer and icemaker, two ovens, a microwave and all manner of cookware and accessories. Plenty of room for 'kibitzers' too; a huge island where everyone can participate, an adjacent breakfast area, and a pass-through to the formal dining room. All can gather in the Great Room to watch the big screen TV, or lounge in the comfortable reading room. The sizeable deck at the back of the house has plenty of seating, and overlooks the garden with a fine view of the fountain, gazebo and fishpond - great for birdwatching, or a fun game of croquet (none of those awkward flamingos though). Relax out here in the evening and watch the fireflies flicker and glow. And smile. Play ping pong in the lower level. Sing a song. There's a piano and a games table in the lower level family room.

Play Outdoors: The tennis courts are a short walk from the house. The smoothly paved roadways have little traffic. A walk, run or bicycle ride starts just outside the front door and up the circular driveway. This quiet, rural setting provides a freshwater pond just 1/3 mile walk from the house - have a game of beach volleyball then cool off with a swim; it's a 10 minute drive to Craigville Beach or Sandy Neck Beach and a two mile walk to the quaint village of Marston's Mills. Golf, glider and biplane rides and a library are nearby. Your rental includes tennis courts, bed linens, towels, beach towels, deck and beach chairs, sand pails and shovels and beach toys, tennis racquets and balls, golf clubs and a beach parking pass for all of Barnstable Town beaches - including Craigville Beach and Sandy Neck Beach. On Cape Cod , you can play mini golf, golf, ride horses, rent a kayak and explore wonderful tidal estuaries, sail, go fishing for stripers and blues. Everything is close by.

Tour Around - Explore: Take a day trip on the ferryboat to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, or a road trip through Chatham to Provincetown. Go Whalewatching! Visit Plymouth Rock, tour Boston, take a Duck Boat ride. Don't miss The Glass Museum and Heritage Gardens in Sandwich; there's a replica Shaker Barn houses an antique car collection, the Art Museum includes a 1902 Merry-go-Round - all the rides you want free with the price of admission! Visit Mashpee Common, a charming outdoor mall with cinemas, a tea shop, restaurants and lots of interesting local as well as nationally known shops. It's just a couple of hours drive to Wrentham Outlets - Hugo Boss, Kate Spade, Coach, Caphalon, Williiams-Sonoma - all the usual suspects. Take a drive to New Bedford to see the Whaling Museum, in Providence go to the Zoo. If you want to take a gamble, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos are two hours away by car. There is just so much to see and do in and around Cape Cod, it would take eons to write about it all - come see!
