This property is as beautiful as it looks online. If anything, with its lush grounds and gardens, it surpasses the description. The location was ideal for enjoying a different beach each day and close proximity to shopping, restaurants and exploring the Cape. I could go on and on about the pluses of this well-stocked, welcoming home but other reviewers have amply covered them. Instead, I'll share thoughts that may be of interest to families with children under 5. We vacation with kids 1-, 2- and 5-years old. We were thrilled to walk into the entry room and discover a fantastic multi-storied, fully furnished dollhouse full of intricate details. However, any dollhouse with truly tiny pots, pans and other features may pose a choking hazard for children under 3 -- even if they always have adult eyes on them. Parents know that supervised toddlers can still put something in their mouths faster than you can say "sleight of hand." If we could have moved the dollhouse into an area that we could restrict to the 5-year-old and adults, we would have. But, it was too large to move so we had to be super cautious. Finally, the swimming pool. The back door of the entry room leads to the backyard, patio and pool. The door was easy for our 5-year-old to open and there was no alarm. Fortunately, our 5-year-old is a proficient swimmer and she understood why she should not go outside without an adult. But, be aware that access to a pool is a consideration to plan for.

Farmhouse with pool great setting for family. Lots of space for privacy among multiple families. Warm host with attention to detail. Somewhat hard for small children/babies to navigate space and bathrooms, but overall a very nice place.

We had a wonderful stay at the William Marston home. It was a beautiful home and we all appreciated the interior decorating and antiques. The house is spacious for 12 of us (some children) and we were all able to eat meals together at the kitchen table! The master bedroom was perfect for a baby and toddler to be in the room with parents as there was plenty of space! We appreciated the attention to detail throughout the house. All of the tissue boxes had a bow or flower made out of tissue and the bathrooms were stocked with shampoos, soaps, and conditioners. No need to bring your own bath towels as they had many on hand. We loved the large pool with floats, which got a lot of use! Though the pool was not heated, it was certainly refreshing! The back porch and patio were lovely where we spent most days and nights. Within walking distance is the Fig Tree Cafe, which we all agreed was delicious for breakfast. Also the pond is a short walk where you can view swans! There are many beaches to go to within a 10-20 minute drive. The house offered 4 beach chairs, which was useful with our large group. It's a short ride to other small towns like Hyannis, Osterville, and Chatham. We recommend all and would love to have visited more because each town was cuter than the next. When we come back to Cape Cod, we would love to stay here again as it fits all of our families' needs. We'd recommend 100%! The Hart/Starkey Families

Our week here was fabulous! The house was terrific in the multiple spaces it offered for our group of 9 adults and several who visited during the day. It took us a little while to remember where every room was located and which staircase to use-an indication of how large the house is and how perfect it is for a group. The outdoor covered patio overlooking the pool was great and we ate lunch and dinner out there most days. It was wonderful to have a pool at the house! The yard was great–we enjoyed multiple family corn hole tournaments. The indoor porch was a favorite place for early risers to have coffee, the formal dining room was used for playing cards, and we had a jigsaw puzzle going in the piano room. The bedrooms and most bathrooms are upstairs - there is a half bathroom downstairs which was helpful to avoid going up and down stairs a lot. This is a 1780 original farmhouse so people need to be comfortable with the narrow and somewhat steep stairs. The kitchen is well stocked with pans, utensils, etc and there is a brand-new gas grill on the patio. Not only was the house fabulous, but Dennis (the property manager) was outstanding. He went out of his way to answer questions beforehand and after we arrived. We were celebrating a birthday and he was incredibly helpful and flexible in making it a special experience in many ways. He gave us local suggestions and made sure that everything was perfect–the best property manager we’ve worked with in all of our travels!

the property is gorgeous and well mantained, perfect for children overall. Close to lots of beaches and other things to do. the pool was a life saver in the hot weather and the yard is large for games. The kitchen has everything you need as well which was helpful. the property manager lives on site and was wonderful and attentive yet respectful of privacy. He truly made the stay more enjoyable.

The house fit all of our needs; we had age ranges from infant to 76 years old. The pool was great for extra fun after exploring the nearby beaches; it is awesome that you can visit many different beaches within a short distance. Plenty of space for everyone to get some alone time when needed. We loved using the front/side yard for wiffle ball, soccer and running around. The covered porch by the pool was great for dinner and relaxing at night regardless of the weather. Dennis, the property manager, is excellent. He was very responsive to questions and helpful with ideas of things to do and places to see.

Everything was perfect start to finish! On arrival, we were met by Dennis who gave us a tour of the home and some of the history. The house is huge and has lots of room to gather together or find a corner to be by yourself. Having the beautiful pool in the yard was the icing on the cake. Dennis couldn’t be more cordial or helpful. The house is equipped with pretty much everything you might need for your stay. Just add food and wine! Great experience and lots of fun and the bonus was the wonderful weather when a week of rain had been forecasted.
