About this house rental
Welcome to one of Barnstable’s longest continuously rented owner-managed homes— comfortable, understated, and beautifully curated beach retreat nestled in the heart of historic Cotuit Village along the warm waters of Nantucket Sound.
For 10 years, guests have returned to this beloved home for its charm, comfort, and exceptional hospitality. Built in 1940 and thoughtfully renovated, the house blends historic Cape Cod character with refined European sensibility and care by a professional interior designer.
Perfectly Situated in Cotuit Village
Walk to everything—local markets, charming restaurants, the marina, and Cotuit’s famed Rope and Loop beaches. Catch a Cape Cod Baseball League game with the Cotuit Kettleers, or explore the village’s vibrant summer arts and intellectual scene.
Your Vacation, Simplified
Whether you’re lounging in the lush garden (featured on Cotuit’s annual garden tour), cooking in the chef’s kitchen, or relaxing on the screened sun porch while kids play in the yard, this home invites you to slow down and savor life. A basement office with printer offers a quiet space for remote work if needed.
Explore the upscale shops and dining of Mashpee Commons or Osterville, take in stunning sunsets, or simply enjoy the peaceful, uncrowded beaches that make Cotuit feel like your own private slice of Cape Cod.
Family-Friendly Amenities Include:
• Residential beach pass for access to 15 local beaches
• Four kayaks, bicycles, beach gear, and sports equipment
• LEGO sets, board games, and a curated library of family films
• Optional rental of adjacent 1BR guest cottage (HomeAway #3805103) for larger groups.
A Thoughtful, Personal Touch
This is more than just a rental—it’s a labor of love. Managing this home from Europe while raising five children has been an extraordinary journey, made possible by a community of wonderful guests, neighbors and by a trusted local team—gardeners, cleaners, and other longtime helpers—who keep everything running smoothly for your stay.

This house was a amazing place to stay. Convenient to multiple beaches, the charming town center (it was the Craft Show weekend!) as well as the Mashpee Town Center. Wonderfully decorated with well equipped kitchen that made you feel at home. Multiple sleeping arrangements balanced comfort and privacy beautifully. Miriam was a wonderful host with excellent communication and easy to reach. We had a wonderful time! Definitely tops our list of places to stay on the Cape.

Pretty house, the owner was very nice, and communicative.. and helped accommodate an early arrival request.
A few things that are detractors:
As I explained to the owner, the fees are double the price of the cost per night. I find them excessive there is no reason for two fees on cleaning. I had no choice for the weekend and what I was doing - otherwise I would have reconsidered. Also, speaking of cleaning fees- There were dishes left in dishwasher, a used k cup in the coffee machine & coffee mugs were stained and looked not clean on cupboards, there was animal hair or human hair on sponges in sink & more uncomfortable for me- on the sheets and pillowcases of bedroom I slept in. So the house did not live up to my expectations in terms of cleanliness. The mattresses were not great-
I also wish that if VRBO owners do not want a specific demographic- like bachelorette parties - which is understandable, to rent their property … just say that in your listing. I don’t appreciate the coyness of dialogue- masked as an interest in me or my life as to why I am renting this house. I can do without that. Or if I am renting an entire house - why are you asking me how many beds should be made or towels will be needed? I paid for the entire house - including expensive linen fees.-you can buy new towels each time someone stays there for those fees. And I had 2 potential friends coming down - but things were up in the air and I didn’t appreciate the questions on that topic.
