Historic 1850's Home, private ground floor and backyard.

About this house rental

Situated in Cummaquid, this charming house for $250 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. My Dad Jack (THE Jack of Jack's Outback restaurant up the street) was a local historian, and was bosom buddies with local artist Edward Gorey, so the decor is little gorey momento/local history archive. The house was built in 1850, features beautifully restored vintage pine floors and original creaky everything. The house was remodelled into a two family dwelling - so there is one unit per floor, once inside the main front door - the small front entry room has two doors, one into the ground floor unit and one to the upstairs that is my studio. I split my time between living upstairs and another house just up the road - so renting this place gives you the whole ground floor of this beautiful little 1850s olde cape codde house (a great private back yard garden with an outdoor shower and clothes line to dry your essentials in the sea breeze) in one of the coolest little villages on cape. The amazing Edward Gorey House Museum, Inaho Sushi, Paranassus Books, Design Works giftshop, Yarmouth Historical Society nature trails and Captain Bangs Hallet House museum, Audubon Trails, northside beach or fresh water pond swimming, Jack's Outback for breakfast and lunch and The 1696 Old Yarmouth Inn for dinner are all just steps away, and offer the best eating, shopping, nature walks and museuming you could ever want. You honestly could stay here all week, not get in your car and have a totally great vacation. If you do want to get in the car, Yarmouthport - located centrally in the mid cape is the perfect spot to explore from as nothing is too much of a drive away.
