About this house rental

Nestled in Hyannis, this charming house for $1,170 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Shed your shoes at the front door, and let the fresh breezes off of Nantucket Sound sweep your cares away. You are on vacation as soon as you enter this light, bright, and airy Cape Cod home overlooking the salt marsh, Hyannis Harbor, and Nantucket Sound. Curl up with a book in one of its many cozy nooks and crannies, or stretch out in in the family room, on the screened porch, or on one of the outdoor decks and watch the light play on the water as the boat traffic goes by. Grab your binoculars and watch the wildlife in the bird sanctuary at your doorstep. Slip into your flip flops and stroll to the nearest beach, five minutes away. Within a fifteen minute walk or five minute bicycle ride, you have your pick of beaches, Main Street of Hyannis, and the bustling harbor with its shops and restaurants. And if you like boats, they are all there: charter fishing boats, sightseeing boats, and ferry boats that will take you on a day trip to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. The house itself has been updated, is meticulously maintained, and is furnished with a combination authentic New England antiques and functional contemporary furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the rental fee includes all linens and towels. Set up for families, there are plenty of spaces to spread out, even on a rainy day. One of the bedrooms is an en suite separate cottage with bathroom, king sized bed, and a fireplace, just steps away from the kitchen door. There is a separate playhouse for the kids, equipped with lawn and beach toys. Returning from the beach, walk directly to the enclosed outdoor shower (a Cape Cod tradition) which is located outside the kitchen door. And enjoy picnics and barbecues at the large picnic table, close to the gas grill. This house boasts location, location, location, with dynamic views, easy access to all activities, yet privacy in a quiet neighborhood. It combines the best of the charming, traditional Cape with contemporary living.

This was a great home - completely updated but still lots of charm. The kitchen had all of the equipment needed to make large family dinners. Lots of living spaces for gatherings and also to find a nook in which to read alone when needed. The weather was pretty bad for the week and this was the kind of home you need to still have a great vacation in bad weather! Dianne was very nice and very responsive to any questions or needs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Overlook. Hosts Dianne and George could not have been more gracious or responsive. The house lent itself beautifully to a memorable multigenerational family experience. We loved the screened in porch, the proximity to the beach, the views and the lovely outdoor spaces.

The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and very practical for young kids. The hosts are wonderfully responsive. We spent a lot of time at the local beaches with our toddlers and young children, an easy walk with strollers. The kitchen is adorable and has gorgeous pottery, platters, and decorative dishes, in addition to practical every day dishes. The dining table is small and hard to fit a large family. We ate outside at the picnic table for all of our family dinners. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The AC was great on hot days. You will never find more responsive hosts. They clearly attend to every detail of making sure everything is well stocked, well functioning and beautifully cared for.

Very nice house and location, one of the quietest places we have ever stayed in Cape Cod. Diane was great to work with, very responsive and receptive to any feedback. Had a family of 10 and there were no issues. Thank you!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks back on Cape Cod after a long hiatus. The house was terrific with furnishings reminiscent of our family place in Harwich. We loved the location, very walkable! We could get to the beach, ferry, or town in no time. There was plenty of room for when our children joined us, but cozy for just my husband and I as well. We would highly recommend staying here!

When I first walked into the house, the thing I immediately noticed was how clean it was. It was spotless! The bedroom configuration worked out perfectly for us. There were plenty of gathering spaces as well. We really enjoyed sitting outside soaking up the view or playing games. The house is a corner lot so there aren't neighbors on top of you and those around are very quiet. Our youngster loved the playhouse and was in it most every day. The location, in addition to the view, is in easy walking distance to the beach and to the harbor where there are restaurants and the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. Dianne was very easy to work with and provided excellent communications. It was a terrific vacation!

We were thrilled with our week-long stay at Dianne's property. The views are even better than the pictures show. You can see the march and beach from two of the bedrooms and the smell of the salt air at night is amazing. The location was perfect, with just a 5 minute walk to Veterans beach, which has a playground and nice shallow warm water, great for people with small kids. A 10 min walk gets you to a larger beach with great waves and people windsurfing. The house offers space and tools for whatever we wanted to do there, and was prepared to safely accommodate and engage our large age range, from toddler to older adult. There was a huge front yard with lots of seating options to sit at for a relaxed morning breakfast or to watch the sunset. The grill and picnic table are perfectly located near the kitchen and make a great space to hold a family meal. There were days we did not even leave the house for extended periods since it was so comfy, and the outside was nice and secluded, great for toddlers to run around. The décor is cute, and the whole set-up of the space is unique, airy and relaxing. Dianne met us at the house when we arrived, and was responsive the couple of times we had questions during our stay. We were very happy with our stay and already are hoping to come back on future trips!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Overlook in Hyannis. Dianne and George's house was perfect for our family- 9 adults and 2 small children. There was plenty of space for us to spend time together and there were nooks and crannies for quiet time! The yard and the toys were perfect for family fun! Dianne and George were wonderful and caring hosts! I'd highly recommend this property!

This property was paradise and the perfect place to stay for our group of five adults and two kids. The views of the salt marsh and the ocean beyond were incredible and we started every day drinking coffee and tea and watching birds from the screened porch. The marsh is a perfect place to see rare birds for the birdwatchers in the group and we saw osprey, egrets, avocets, a raven, and numerous gulls in our time here. The house had plenty of space for our whole group and every amenity was provided including many toys and chairs to bring to the beach which was a very short walk away. The local beach was a great place to sunbathe or explore tidal pools full of little creatures. The walk into town was about 20-30 minutes depending where we were going, but there was plenty of parking, too. Before the trip, I had told Dianne that our group was looking for a nice place to eat for a birthday celebration and she provided a great list of places in Hyannis and nearby towns. Dianne met us at the house to show us around when we checked in and gave us so many great tips. The property was also a perfect starting point for adventures all over the cape including a day trip to Provincetown, whale watching from Barnstable, visiting the Farigrounds, and stopping to see the Edward Gorey house. We didn't have a chance to catch the ferry, but it is close by as well. There was so much to do here and the house was great for relaxing at the end of every busy day. Highest recommendation for this perfect spot!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Overlook. The views and proximity to the beach were awesome and the house was very family friendly. There was loads of space inside to accommodate 10 of us and a great outdoor yard area that the kids loved to play in - a beach playground was just a couple of blocks away, too. The hosts were exceptionally communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!

We just stayed, and had a great experience. The house actually seemed bigger and nicer than the pictures. It had many comfortable seating areas. Great views and outside space. Perfect for families with kids- there’s a fun little clubhouse for the kids to play in. Very short walk or drive to the beaches. Owners lived and town, were friendly and accessible if we needed. I’d definitely recommend and come back.

A group of 7 of us rented "Overlook" for Memorial Day weekend 2021. We have an annual reunion each year to cheer on friends who participate in the sailboat race, Figawi. Traditionally, the race begins in Hyannis and races to Nantucket. Covid forced a change of plans and it was decided to host day races from Hyannis on Saturday and Sunday. We searched for a rental and luckily, found "Overlook". The house is so warm and inviting! We found it spotless and I am very picky about cleanliness! The decorations, paint choices, curtains and overall decor are colorful and whimsical. You can't help but smile at your surroundings! Dianne has a knack for decorating! The weekend weather was the worst on record for Memorial Day weekend in the past century! We spent the entire 4 days in the house. We brought food and cooked every meal in. The kitchen had everything you needed and is laid out perfectly. Interestingly, I was not too impressed by the photos showing the view from the yard. Once there, we loved seeing the ferries and various boats traveling back and forth across the ocean. The marsh and ocean beyond really offer that "Cape Cod" vibe! We wish we could have lounged on the peaceful lawn, taking in the view for more than 2 hours; but Mother Nature had other plans! Dianne and George were wonderful hosts who obviously take pride in their property. They were responsive, attentive, easy to work with and most gracious. It was a pleasure to meet them and discover their little slice of heaven! We can not recommend "Overlook" enough to other prospective renters. Do yourself a favor and consider this property as a wise investment for your vacation experience and memories!
