About our home

As you can see from the photographs, our home on Cape Cod has everything we want for the casual, relaxed lifestyle we enjoy when away from our work and responsibilities in Connecticut. When we aren't at the beach or out and about, we love to lounge on the living room couch watching movies, gather around the kitchen table for board games, read the morning paper over coffee near the bay window in the den, and observe the stars and fireflies come out as we sit talking on the deck in the evening. With our four comfortable common areas, everyone has the option to have their own personal space if they need time alone, but we always have plenty of room to be together. We have two bathrooms, and a large enclosed outside shower from which we can look at the open sky as we're freshening up after a day at the beach. As this is our second home, a non-simultaneous exchange, hospitality and varied lengths of stay are possible.

“Cyndi and Dean's comfortable second home on beautiful Cape Cod is in a quiet and safe area. Our October visit was after prime beach time, so we had the beaches and roads almost to ourselves. Good information about the island was left for us, and it was easy to visit many interesting towns and points of interest, We made use of the free wifi at the excellent, visitor-friendly library system and local coffee shop in the village, so it was easy to keep in touch with home. Thank you Dean and Cyndi for your welcome.”

“We have just completed a visit to the Cape Cod home of Cyndi and Dean. What a grand time we had! The home was large, comfortable, well equipped and convenient to all areas of the Cape. We travelled hither- and -yon during the day and returned at night to a warm and welcoming "home-away-from-home". Everything we needed was right there and handy. We could not have asked for more. The beautiful location made walking in the area and meeting their friendly neighbors an added treat. Cyndi and Dean were a phone call away to greet us and make us feel welcome. It couldn't have been a better vacation! Many thanks from Bobbie and Jim from California”

“We had 10 sunny days in July at Dean and Cyndi’s vacation home on Cape Cod. Their home is very comfortable, quiet and serene, a great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. On the days we weren’t too lazy, we traveled all over Cape Cod from their excellent location, visiting just about every town and village, even a ferry trip to Nantucket Island, one of the highlights of our visit. Thanks to our hosts, we had plenty of local visitor information and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. We were made very welcome and enjoyed our stay in wonderful Cape Cod! Tom and Sue from Seattle, Washington.”

More about us

We are Dean and Cyndi, retired Math and Music teachers. Since the Cape is our second home, we could do a non-simultaneous exchange, and could also discuss hospitality and varied lengths of stay. If you did not want to travel to the Cape in the summer, you'd be welcome to come in the spring or fall. We always like to arrange our exchanges in advance so we can get to know eachother to better facilitate your stay, and book more reasonably priced flights. If anyone in your family is celiac or gluten intolerant, we can accommodate their needs and offer suggestions for safe area dining. When we travel, we like to experience the culture and history of the region, spending time at historic sites and museums. We love outdoor activities, especially hiking. Since 2009 we have enjoyed many wonderful exchanges with families in Europe, Canada and the states, and would be happy to welcome you to the Cape.

Neighbourhood

Midway between the Canal and Provincetown, our quiet neighborhood in the Town of Dennis provides you with easy access to all Cape destinations. Bay and Sound beaches are only 7-9 minute drives from our door- pack our beach gear and have fun! The Sound's wind and surf are great for kite flying, body and windsurfing, and parasailing. The Bay's expansive stretches of sand, tide pools, and tranquil waters are ideal for children, sandcastles, kayaking, and dramatic sunsets over the water. If you prefer fresh water, sandy Scargo Lake is a 5-minute drive. Explore miles of scenery by kayak, canoe or paddleboat on the Swan and Bass Rivers. Steps from home, cruise along the bike path, or a 5-minute walk brings you to tennis and basketball courts, running track, and playground. Golfers have many courses to choose from, 2 within a 5-minute drive. Nearby nature trails traverse woods. waterways, and cranberry bogs, and tours of lighthouses, museums and historic homes transport you to earlier times. Cape Cod National Seashore and Nickerson State Park offer ranger-led programs, or take in a seal cruise or whale watch. Antique, jewelry, gift, pottery, glass, and art galleries abound. BBQ and dine on our tree-shaded deck, or sample the fare of fine local restaurants. Evenings bring sunset beach walks, plays, concerts, campfires, or Cape League Baseball. Boston, New England's largest, most lively and historic city, is only a 90-minute day trip, with Plymouth and the Mayflower en route.
