Imagine spending a week or two in a private, 3 acre alcove of three quaint, family rental cottages. Imagine a two-minute stroll down a pine-needled trail that connects to the bike path and the Cape Cod National Seashore beyond as your own personal playground. There are endless beaches, miles of pounding surf, and the great flats of Cape Cod Bay to explore. Inland, dozens of freshwater kettle ponds offer a refreshing swim after a day at the ocean. Art galleries, antique shops, fine restaurants and many historical sites are all just 10 minutes away.

Each rental cottage is nicely furnished, has all needed bedding like pillows, blankets, bedspreads or comforters and can accommodate up to 4 people (plus a baby in a crib). One cottage has an airy, screened sun porch; the other two have spacious decks. All three have plenty of grassy yard for barefoot play, and there is even a basketball court for an after dinner shoot-around with the kids. Each cottage has a large picnic table, outdoor chairs and a charcoal grill. The kitchens are very well equipped, complete with pots, utensils, dishes, toaster, blender, microwave, stove, refrigerator and everything you possibly need. From wine glasses to lobster pot, it's all there. The cottages also have cable TV and VCR.
