We now have a flexible off season rental time:
4 night minimum rental in June & July.
August is a 7 night Sat to Sat week rental till Aug. 24 . From Aug 24 to mid October we require a 3 night minimum rental.
Guests can enjoy a memorable vacation with central air, a big open concept living room, kitchen and dining area with a table that seats eight and a huge kitchen island that seats five more - all with beautiful waterfront views. An extra room off the kitchen is a combination of pantry/laundry/office room with a desk and chair for working in a private room. We have the rubbish picked up in the garage barrels after you leave. Because of the lingering COVID, all renters are required to bring their own sheets and towels or can rent them from a linen company or possibly pay a rental extra fee. Blankets and extra pillows are provided in every bedroom. There is also a big enclosed outdoor shower stall under the sundeck for rinsing off the sand after beach activities.

Situated on Follins Pond (the end of the 6 mile long Bass River) and centrally located near all beaches on both the south or north side of the cape, guests can enjoy an afternoon of relaxation on the huge waterfront sundeck (14x24) with an umbrella table, chairs and a gas grill for cooking. Guest can also enjoy the patio table and chairs in the back yard. Everyone can enjoy sports and ball games in the big back yard. There is a two car garage where your bikes and excess luggage can be stored.

The upstairs bedroom #2 is furnished with a queen bed, walk in closet and a full tub/shower bath. The remaining upstairs bedroom #3 has two twin-sized beds - all rooms with beautiful water views. Bedroom #4 is on the first floor has a queen bed, TV and access to a full tub/shower bathroom off the bedroom and is suitable for anyone who find stairs hard to navigate or grandparents who would like privacy.

More Details

The house is within a 15 minute walk (a 5 minute car ride) to a wonderful mini strip mall on Rte 6A with an excellent food/deli/fish market (Petersons) along with a drug store, ATM and clothes cleaners. Oliver’s restaurant is 2 minutes up the street from Petersons. Our house is a 10 minute ride away from most of the many beautiful beaches on the Cape. In addition, there are many walking trails within the Flax Pond Conservation area that is only a 10 minute walk from the house and that also has a beach/swimming area (great for small children) open to the public. Sometimes, we walk over for a quick dip because of the convenience of not having to drive and the young children love the clear shallow swimming water and hiking trails.

Some of the beaches are: Bass River Smugglers Beach (our favorite) is on South Shore Drive, So. Yarmouth and has nice river views with boating activity, fishing pier, snack bar, rest rooms and a nice beach area.
Other beaches are Parker's River Beach off South Shore Drive; Sea View Beach off South Shore Drive; South Middle Beach off South Shore Drive; Windmill Beach off River Street; Seagull Beach off Seagull road off South Sea Ave. Some of the north side beaches area Gray’s Beach off Rte 6A and Center Street (closest) with a beautiful long Boardwalk to view the marshland and vista at night. Mayflower beach is one the best beaches on the cape.

Perfect for family vacation, especially when it rain!
The home had everything you could need--from the kitchen, to entertainment, to view and a spacious deck, to comfortable beds. We had a lot of rainy days and it was easy to keep kids entertained. We had 8 people in total at the house and family from another house. We easily fed 13 people meals. You will not be disappointed.

Delightful!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great house. So special to be right on the water. The house is well equipped and very clean. The kayaks were a wonderful addition. It was easy to feel relaxed in this comfortable setting. Jane responded quickly to all questions. We hope to return!

Great Family Vaca!
We stayed for 2 weeks at this wonderful location with adult children and a grandson coming and going as schedules permitted. The location is great for being on the water and convenience to grocery stores, restaurants and a fresh water pond nearby. Everything we needed was less than 10/15 mins away - food, beaches and access to the Rail Trail. Having kayaks to play in onsite and a huge backyard to relax in were icing on the cake!

Family vacation in an ideal spot!
My extended family (children and grandchildren) spent a fantastic week at this wonderful location. Besides the water in front of us, we were close to Flax Pond for a fresh water swim and great fishing, as well as Mayflower Beach. Be sure to go to the beach for a sunset at low tide. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and made everything very easy. I would definitely recommend this house to others!

About the host

Hosted by Jane and Frank Thomas, owner/property manager

Host profile image
My husband Frank Thomas. and I are originally from Newton where we met, got married and then moved to New Hampshire where his work took us for 34 years. We retired and moved into our Yarmouth house for the summers. We also bought a house in Naples Florida where we now spend our winters to avoid the cold weather.
Four years ago, after much traveling from Yarmouth to Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard to visit our grandchildren, we decided to built a house there to spend more time with them. As a result, we now rent our Yarmouth house so other people can enjoy the beautiful Cape Cod area while we are away.

What makes this property unique

Upon arriving, nothing beats the beautiful water views of Follins Pond's (the end of Bass River) and the natural ever changing tides on the water. Using our two kayaks is always an added treat on vacation. The small beach area at low tide is great for clamming, fishing and walking along the shore line. The house is situated on a three acre lot facing the water in a peaceful quiet neighborhood abutting the river. While relaxing on the sundeck, you can see people water skiing, kayakers paddling by and boats moored out in the middle of the pond enjoying all kinds of water sports. The big sundeck provides a nice relaxing place to rest and experience a relaxing time on vacation.
