If I were to create a family rental with everything I wanted, this would be it: lovely decor (furnishings, art, decorations), a large, well-equipped kitchen, loads of sports and beach equipment and games, dog-friendly, and incredible views and privacy. The multiple seating areas and tables on the second floor of this upside down house make the living space incredibly versatile —so smartly furnished and arranged. The bedrooms downstairs are also great, though one of the three full baths gets a lot of use since only the master has its own bath and the third bath is upstairs (but lovely). (Beware the relatively steep stairs.) But the outdoor shower is perfect. We appreciated being treated like respectable adults, without a long list of house rules, although a little more direction on the trash situation would be helpful. (We weren’t sure where to put food scraps and paper - the compostables.) The abundance of birds on the property is special, the distance to the low-density and beautiful Quidnet Beach is as advertised (3 minutes by car) and Sasachacha Pond is a bonus part of any beach visit. And then there is the distant Sankaty lighthouse view from the ample deck with grill and umbrella table for eight. Can’t go wrong here.
