Dear Cecil & Family,

Thank you so much for making this a vacation we will remember for the rest of our lives! Our whole family doesn't want to go home, they would like to stay on here! You have clearly thought of everything a family with kids would ever need (including a hairdryer!).

Everyone had great fun at the becah - great for shell collecting!

The fourth of July festivities are great fun on this street, lots of fireworks!

Thanks again!

ps - very handy basket of menus & brochures - very helpful.

Your beach house was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay here comfortable! Great location, near everything. All 4 grandchildren had an absolute blast (my monkey-boys) on your private beach with pathway, rode their bikes along the street, played on deck and yard - great fun. Trips to shops, went to Hyaniis stores, around "Baxters" for fish - Pirate ship was lots of fun for "boys".
Great way to start Summer Vacation in New England!

Dear Cecil and family,
We have just returned from a fabulous stay at your lovely home in Hyannis. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The location was perfect; peaceful and quiet yet minutes to great shopping, restaurants, ferries, beautiful beaches, etc.
We found your home to be extemely clean and comfortable and we look forward to returning again and again.

Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

P.S. My father, who is not easily impressed, loved the area so much that he wanted to look at homes for sale in the neighborhood.

Dear Cecil & Family,
(our 2nd anniversary)
Thank you for everything. We had a wonderful week and so enjoyed your warm & inviting beach house. Everything was perfect and was by far the best vacation we've had. Trips to Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard; dining at the Roadhouse, breakfast at Persey's; lunch at Frayni's in P'Town - the best! Loved the fireplace which we used every morning and evenings. We could go on & on so will stop now so as to not use up all your pages in your guest diary. Again, thanks for all!!!!

Dear Cecil & Family,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We had an amazing time and unbelievable weather.
Enjoyed traveling to the many beaches around the area, but especially loved the private beach here (we were actually the only ones at the beach most of the week). It was very relaxing. Can't wait to do it again next year.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in your beautiful home. Thank you for paying attention to all the lovely details in your home including children's toys and beach gear and a comfy blanket for reading and snuggling on the couch. Our daughter (10 months) and our dog were right at home here as were we. Thanks for a great week.

Thank you so much for letting us rest our heads in your home. It was our first vacation since having our first child (19 months). and we didn't know how we - or she was going to do away from home. We had a wonderfull time and our daughter felt "right at home" here. We brought my parents along, and the house, beach, and surroundings were perfect and met all our needs. My mother and I even walked out to the Kennedy Compound and saw some of the family including Ted! (he was going fishing!). Thanks for a great week!

Thank you for allowing us to rent this wonderful home. Although the weather was more in line with October than August, we still had a great time. The kids loved the beach. Great pizza at Palios and even better ice cream at Katies. We enjoyed whale watching, mini golf, etc. on our non-beach days. Dinner for my wife and I at the Roadhouse was excellent. Hope to be back next year.

We've had a great holiday here on the Cape and your house has been a great base. It felt like home as soon as we got here. Our highlights:
- Whale watching from Provincetown - never to be forgotten
- Up the Creek Again - great atmosphere & food, and only across the road from the house
- The Pavillion - good Indian food, which us Brits love
- Mini-golf, nice way to spend an hour
Didn't take the Duck Boat tour - saving it for Boston. We hope to come back some day. Many thanks!

Dear Cecil & Family -
Had a great time on Cape Cod. Your home is terrific. My wife and I came to Cape Cod 25 years ago on our honeymoon and this is our first time back. It was a somewhat different trip with our four teenagers this tiem. We enjoyed the beaces, the weather, the sights and everything else. Saw the Red Sox play the White Sox at Fenway with the boys, ate a lot of lobster, swam, got sun tanned (burnt), and had a great time.

Our family vacation spent at your home will not be forgotten! The time we spent at the beach was truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Your home is quite cozy and has many extras that make vacationing very easy. Our excursions included Plymouth, Nantucket, and the Sea Gypsy. I think the entire family really got a kick from Capt. Danny (Family Fishing)! Your advice was taken in regards to Spanky's - great atmosphere and good food. Thanks once again.

Thank you so much for a terrific time at your wonderful and beautiful beach house!! The neighborhood and home are so peaceful, quaint, and the location is ideal. We loved your home, private beach and the Town of Hyannis. The restaurants we enjoyed included Spankys, ASA Grill and Up the Creek Again for Mudslides. We loved walking on the beach for long walks, especially to the Kennedy Compound. We also love all the history in the area and we visited the Kennedy Memorial and Museum. A beautiful spot to view the Hyannis Harbor and watch the sunset is the Hyannis Golf Club. It was absolutely gorgeous. Wishing everyone a great stay!!! We can't wait to return!! Thank you again!!

Dear Cecil, Thank you for such wonderful accomodations with your lovely home! You had everything we could have imagined (toys, books, games, movies, etc.) to make our vacation experience enjoyable for our children and our selves. We recommend Colluci Bros. Diner, Up the Creek Again, and the new ASA Grill on Main St. The Maitre'D was phenomenal. Everyone here has been exceptionally friendly and we could not have asked for more. My children informed us this morning they would like us to buy this house and move here permanently. I guess they liked it as much as we did!

Wow! What a great week! Your home is lovely & the neighborhood is so peaceful & quiet. The weather was perfect - just the "token" rainy day Sunday - but then absolutely gorgeous... even up to 92 degrees on Friday!

My sister drove up to join me for a few days. We're both "Jersey Girls" and I never though I'd hear her say anything was better than the Jersey Shore - but after a visit to your beautiful unspoiled natural beaches, she advised me to "Call the Deans and tell them to cancel all upcoming rentals" because she's "not leaving"!

We had a fantastic week - everything is so closeby - beaches - shopping - sightseeing - Nantucker ferry. The week's stay here was a thoughtful gift from my terrific kids for a milestone birthday. Great choice!

Thank you, Dean Family, for making this comfortable home available for our memorable vacation. I really must go now and drag my sister "kicking and screaming" out of here!
Happy times to all who follow :)

Cecil, in a word - PERFECT! From arriving to a spotless tidy house to having the private beach to ourselves. No kids, loud music, traffic, noise - just the sound of the rolling waves. Did nothing but sleep, eat, read and go to the beach. Since Jack was raised nearby, both of us have been all over the Cape and we think Chatham and Hyannis offer the most. Had a great dinner at the Daniel Webster Inn in Sandwich with friends who have a 200 year old house in Sandwich. You know how to run a "class act". Had everything you could want. Thanks for being on the "other side" through the eyes of a guest - greatly appreciated.

Dear Cecil & Family,
Thank you very much for a wonderfull week in your gorgeous Cape Cod cottage. We loved the location and your private beach - it was a perfect first introduction to the beach for our 15-month old daughter. We highly recommend exploring the local streets & beaches, a day trip to Nantucket by high speed ferry, visiting the mansions at Newport Rhode Island & take out from the Thai restaurant Bangkok Kitchen. Our family will have speciall memories of this trip. Thanks again.

Dear Cecil,
We had a great week, with a few days of rain for shopping and riding the train combined with sunny days for beach going.
We enjoyed The Yarmouth House and Ben & Jerry's as well. The only negative was not being able to tour the Cape Cod Chip Factory due to being closed for the holiday weekend.

We had a great week here in Hyannis. The weather was great and made for terrific beach days. We made great memories with our children. They enjoyed playing in the yard, building sandcastles by the shore, fishing, and playing miniature golf. We enjoyed great dinners at Spanky's, The Paddock, and Alfredo's. Hopefully we will be able to return soon.

Thanks for the use of your lovely cottage! We found everything we needed and were able to relax from the minute we got here! The children loved exploring the beaches - I hope they left some shells on the beach for the next visitors. We all made world-class sandcastles and had great fun doing so. Whale watching was the highlight of the week. We saw several varieties of whales and they put on a spectacular display!

Dear Cecil & Family,

I just loved your cottage. It made me feel right at home. It was wonderful sitting out on the deck every morning with a cup of tea. The beach was wonderful. It has been the best vacation being here with my daughter, her husband and my two grandchildren. I hope to come back here again. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories I will always have.

My family and I had a wonderful vacation and stay at your cottage. It was truly a "home away from home!" With 2 small children under the age of 4, it made our trip most convenient to have all the "extras". My son loved the bunk beds and all of the toys here at the house.

The private beach was wonderful and the vacation exceeded our expectations. We hope to return next summer. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

We have had a wonderful fortnight in your Cape Coe home. It is a most comfortable and quiet place to stay. We had everything we needed to make us feel at home. So many similarities with our own sea-side holiday house back home in Northern Ireland – pitch-pine floors and cream painted walls! Cape Cod is a beautiful area to explore – we had a most perfect day whale watching off Barnstable. Our favorite places to eat – Collucci Bros for breakfast & The Roadhouse for dinner. Many thanks again for a very memorable holiday.

Thank you for renting your lovely vacation hoem to us. It was the perfect spot for our family to meet and retreat – we came from Delaware, Chicago, and MA and included our 3-month old grandson. The tips you sent ahead of time were very useful. We enjoyed such a picturesque beach so close to the house. Our favorite restaurants were The Roadhouse Café (incredible food) and Spanky’s. We also enjoyed the British Beer Company and Collucci Brothers. I hope every else who reads this has a wonderful time too.

What a great week we had. My family, Mother-in-law & Son-in-law had lots of fun fishing, golfing, whale watching (8 humpbacks), shopping, and of course sunbathing. The private beach was wonderful and just a short walk. Your house is very cozy and comfortable. Spanky’s & Fresh Ketch are good places to eat. We appreciate all the appliances and grill. We cooked in a lot. I walked to Sea St. Market for newspapers & extras (some good wines). Hopefully we will be able to return soon.

Also the perfect spot to come back to after our day trips to Newport, Boston, and Plymouth. Thank you for all the "extras" in the house to make it feel like home. A perfect vacation to bring our mother on. No whales to watch at this time of the year (April)... we'll have to come back!

The end of our 2 weeks, already!?! We've had a great time. The beaches are wonderful (you're right Cecil), those closeby for early morning swimming or late afternoon reading, and those further afield like Race Point Beach in Provincetown. The house is lovely: spacious inside, clean, comfortably furnished and a cool oasis after sunbathing on the deck. We loved the qualify of the food in the local supermarket. How will I survive without the American Blueberries? The ones back home in the UK just don't compare - and life without Ben & Jerry's on Main Street just doesn't bear thinking about.
Our best meal out: Bistro on the Common at the end of Commercial Street in Provincetown. We had a wonderful lunch there.

It was so bright and sunny giving it such a cheerful feeling, warm and welcoming. Your decor was classy and homey. We truly relaxed during our stay, enjoying the beach even with the snow.

Coming from Scandinavia (Denmark) it has been a treat to see Cape Cod. We went to Provincetown which was fun to experience.

This summer home has a fabulous private deck off the back of the house for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Great adirondack chairs out front for watching the kids ride their bikes in the very quiet neighborhood. The house is gloriously clean, the furniture roomy and comfortable (including the beds)and the landlord attentive to the little "extras" like 30 or so videos for little ones, a box of toys (again for little ones), and a "help yourself" mini-library in the kitchen with great beach reads and lots of informational packets for things to do while on the Cape. The house is sunny and bright and convenient to most restaurants. We'll definately be renting again!
