4.86 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsPrivate getaway by the ocean
Kosmas's place is the perfect spot to relax and recharge! My husband and I spent a late October weekend there with our two labs and felt right at home. The area was a very quiet residential neighborhood, literally a 5 minute walk to a private beach. Watching sunrise at the beach was amazing! We enjoyed good food from a couple of nearby restaurants- an awesome lobster quesadilla and crab cakes from Turks and delicious sandwiches from Shipyard Galley. A wonderful get-a-away weekend!

Home in Fairhaven
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsLovely Day Oceanside
"Lovely Day" was the perfect getaway we were hoping for. The place looked exactly like the photos showed: beautiful sun-filled front-room, nice spacious kitchen with an open concept, and the easiest access to a private beach. The place had two bedrooms (one with a queen-sized bed and one with a bed bunk) and a bathroom (with washer and dryer), so it's perfect for a family or a small group of friends. Maybe because it was winter but we were the only ones around, which made our time at the beach even that more enjoyable. Fairhaven is about 10mins away with enough services and restaurants, although we brought everything with us so that we wouldn't have to rely on those. Do note that the exterior and interior walls are a little thin, in case you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a wonderful and peaceful retreat.

We just wrapped up our second stay at "Beach Break" and again, from the moment we arrived, we were in total heaven. The entire property is squeaky clean and the location is superb – just a short stroll to the beach. Stefanie and Dave have created a total gem. Their dedication to providing an exceptional experience is evident in every detail. The space is incredibly beautiful, so much so that folks walking by stopped to comment on the well-cared-for exterior. We'll absolutely book again. This is truly a rare find.

Condo in Dennis
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsOld Wharf Rd 405 Unit #B303
The place was fantastic! Very new, very clean. Steps to private beach. Ocean House restaurant is next door and it is a great restaurant (tough to get a table). But loved the condo overall. Perfect little getaway....Will stay there again....

It had everything we were looking for during our time at the Cape. It was clean with a lovely seaside theme, peaceful, spacious airy feel, outdoor patio, and fire pit we enjoyed. The location made it accessible to beaches, restaurants, and shops. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Becca was very responsive and friendly. We hope to come back again. Thank you for opening up your home for us to enjoy!

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviewsBeach House Getaway 40 Steps To The Beach
This beach cottage hosted by John was a wonderful place to stay for a weeklong getaway with 4 adults and 1 infant. John was very accommodating for our family, easy & clear instructions for check in & check out, and good recommendation for the linen/ rental. Cozy spot right across the street from the beach, so easy to walk across with beach gear, or just sit on the porch and enjoy the ocean view with a coffee or drink. The road was not busy and the town felt very calm, beach was not at all crowded after the end of busy season/after Labor Day. Very convenient location to explore other spots on the Cape, such as Chatham, Provincetown, or Hyannis and catch the ferry to Nantucket. Restaurant/bar that is walkable the Sailing Cow had great food breakfast/lunch/dinner and reasonable prices. Stop n Shop is 10 minutes away and kitchen has everything needed very well stocked (no dishwasher, but great drying rack and spacious countertops). Sundae school ice cream shop is a must-try in the town

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviewsDistiller’s Cottage Nauset Beach East Orleans, MA
We loved our stay at Amy's cottage! It was exactly what we wanted, private and romantic and a perfect base to explore the Cape. If you appreciate the extra touches like real cotton sheets and a homey but tasteful atmosphere you will not be disappointed. Would highly recommend!

House is small but well-organized and nicely decorated. Appreciated the electric tea kettle and Keurig. Tub and shower was one of the nicest we've seen in a rental. It was a short drive to the beach and good eating places. Glad we could bring our dog.

Cottage in Wellfleet
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 271 reviewsHillside 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!

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviews*1/2 mile walk-South Shore Beaches*-Dog Friendly
I would highly recommend renting from Bonnie and Dale. Bonnie was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire stay. Her house was beautiful and clean, close to the beach and she had the kitchen stocked with things you might have forgotten to bring. The bed was very comfortable. She had sent us a list of places to go such as beaches and restaurants which was also very helpful. We tried out two restaurants she had suggested and they were amazing. We will definitely come back.

Graham Cracker Cottage was very cute--it was very close to family we were visiting for the holidays so didn't spend much time there, but it had everything you might need to be comfortable just hunkering down and enjoying the beautiful setting.

One of my favorite vacation rentals. Clean, easy check-in, quiet neighborhood, centrally located. We enjoyed our week at Lynn and Keith's home. It was nice to arrive to some snacks, chocolates, enough coffee for the week, and wine (even though we didn't get around to drinking it). We enjoyed streaming some shows and also watching cable tv with network channels (something we rarely find in vacation rentals. The hosts thought of everything and helped make our week stress-free and fun. We would definitely return.

The house was great and we were able to rent a both units of the duplex! Kitchen was well stocked for cooking large group meals and was close to town when we wanted to go out for food. Daniele was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!

Craig's place was very nice! It was comfortable and in a great location. Craig was communicative, but not overly so, which was nice. The house had everything we needed and a few fun things (dartboard and fusbol) as well. Definitely recommend a stay!

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 73 reviewsCape Get Away Rentals
This was such a relaxing place to stay. Jessica’s communication was quick and remarkably helpful — and she provided great recommendations and suggestions. The overall layout of the home affords room for privacy while also providing a comfortable communal space. The walkability of the location was much better than I expected, with closeby beaches, taverns, and restaurants. To be specific, 5 people stayed here — myself, wife, two kids, and an infant, for a stay around a month. And we never felt constrained (the back deck makes for a great workspace). Thanks again — would love to stay here in the future!

4.65 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsCharming 4 bdrm 2 1/2 bth - fire pit - pet ok
Sue’s place was great for my family and dog. The 2 apartments give a nice separation when staying with a group. Very clean and comfortable. We paid the extra fee to not worry about linens and felt It was worth it. It is on a busy road and you can definitely hear the traffic when the windows are open as the house is pretty close to the road but it wasn’t an issue for sleeping. Location is great for many restaurants and beaches. 20-25 minutes to Hyannis or Chatham

Home in Falmouth
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsNEW! 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!
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.
