Ideal Beach House, Waterfront on Barnstable Harbor (155-Ba)

This home is professionally managed by Pretty Picky Properties
​​​​​​​
Directly on Barnstable Harbor Totally Renovated with Roof Deck to Watch Nightly Sunsets
Sleeps 11 in Five Bedrooms, Central AC
Linens Included, Beds Made
Rents Saturday-Saturday in Peak Season

The beach house is located directly on Barnstable Harbor with a private beach -- No need to decide whether to go to the beach, you're directly on it! The five bedroom house retains its comfortable and casual cottage feel, but now with fresh, upscale furnishings and finishes. The totally remodeled, fully equipped kitchen has new flooring and all new appliances. The makeover continues into the dining and living rooms with new flooring and furnishings. Eat inside or out! There's a picnic table from which to enjoy the water views of Sandy Neck Lighthouse across the harbor or take in the sunset each night. The views are more elevated and even more spectacular from the new roof top deck, accessible from the second level.

The house has five bedrooms. There's one main level Primary bedroom with a queen size bed, which now has a brand new private full bath en suite. Upstairs, there is another primary suite with private bath, this one with a big, comfortable king size bed. The other three bedrooms are also on the second level and include one with another queen size bed, one with bunks plus a single twin bed and finally, one with two twins. So almost any group configuration can be comfortably accommodated! Those last three bedrooms share another full bath on the second level.

This home is ideally situated. You can saunter over to Barnstable Harbor for a delicious meal at Mattakeese Wharf, fresh fish from Osterville Fish Too Market or hop on a whale watch boat, all within a five minute walk from the house! Head a little further into Barnstable Village for more dining options, a local market and gourmet coffee shop. Plan a trip out to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard from nearby Hyannis or spend a day exploring Main St. Hyannis and the JFK museum -- all a quick 10 minute car ride from the house. However, it will be tough to drag yourself away from one of the most superb waterfront locations on Cape Cod!

Please enter your travel dates in the top right corner of this page for up-to-date pricing. This property has a seven-night minimum during the peak season. As is customary in vacation rentals there are additional fees to the rates listed. Those fees include a reservation fee and a non-refundable Accidental Damage Protection (ADP) fee totaling $225.

Great Rental
We had a wonderful week in Barnstable. The house was clean, beautiful and had a well stocked kitchen. We loved being on the water and enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. The property managers were easy to communicate with and responsive. Highly recommend!

Long overdue family reunion = success!
Three family groups gathered at the practically perfect Sunset Lane house for a week of memory-making. From the well-stocked kitchen to comfortable furniture (inside and out) to the thoughtfully arranged art on the walls, we had an exceptional time. Morning coffee and evening snacks and cocktails in Adirondack chairs were all the more special thanks to the constant activity of nature in Barnstable Harbor. Martin and his team at Pretty Picky Properties was communicative and responsive to my many pings as we got settled into our stay. One last thank you to Matt for delivering the new paddleboard paddles so we could play in the water!

Pretty Picky?
Excellent experience with this rental from start to finish. I have been wondering where the name "Pretty Picky" came from. I have determined that the owners are discerning about all aspects of their properties, how they are managed, and how they are used. This particular home is perfect in every way. If you, too, are picky about where you lay your head, then this is a property for you to pick.

Beautiful views. Seamless, restful stay!
Those views though! Those were the reason we chose this property and they didn't disappoint. The home is absolutely beautiful inside and out, with plenty of spaces for shared family meals and fun, as well as private spaces (with real Zoom water-view backgrounds!) to work remotely. Some favorite highlights: walking the beach at low tide, having breakfast on the rooftop deck, admiring all of the beach-inspired artwork on the walls, and mostly just staring at the water and marveling at our good fortune to have found this place. An added, very valuable, bonus was the provided parking pass good for any of the town beaches. From start to finish -- from my initial property inquiry months ago to checkout last Saturday morning, this was exactly the kind of carefree vacation one dreams of. Pretty Picky was extremely responsive to any question prior to our arrival and super speedy at handling a dryer repair while we were renting. Couldn't ask for anything more. I would highly recommend this rental.

Perfect Cape Escape for families
We walked into this house and immediately went “wow!” as a group. The thoughtful layout includes a stunning view and delivered on spectacular sunsets. All ten of us fit easily into the space, and spread across the generous living area. Grandparents enjoyed the comfortable seating on the lawn and watched us all play in the water. The pictures of the place don’t do justice to how close you are to the water, which results in a great beach experience at low tide. And, you can walk only 3-4 blocks for ice cream and awesome seafood. The house itself was immaculate, clearly well maintained, and full of everything you need for a great break. The management company was on call and amazingly responsive, too. After a number of Cape stays, on the water, in the past ten years, this sticks out as the best!
