Location
Inside the destination
Neighborhood: Barnstable Village - This home is ideally situated, directly on Barnstable Harbor.** **You can saunter over to Barnstable Harbor for a delicious meal at Mattakeese Wharf, fresh fish from Osterville Fish Market, or hop on a whale watch boat, all within a five-minute walk from the house. - Head a little further into Barnstable Village for more dining options, a local market, and a gourmet coffee shop. Plan a trip out to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard from nearby Hyannis or spend a day exploring Main St. Hyannis and the JFK museum -- all a quick 10-minute car ride from the house. However, it will be tough to drag yourself away from one of the most superb waterfront locations on Cape Cod.
Parking information
During peak hours at town beaches, parking stickers are required. Of course, most of our properties are directly on or within easy walking distance of private, neighborhood association beaches, so no pass is required. For those properties that aren’t right on or within walking distance, a pass is necessary. You can stop by the town offices to pick up a weekly pass or pay per visit. Beach passes are issued by vehicle and are not transferable.

Reviews
Thea
Three family groups gathered at the practically perfect Sunset Lane house for a week of memory-making. From the well-stocked kitchen to comfortable furniture (inside and out) to the thoughtfully arranged art on the walls, we had an exceptional time. Morning coffee and evening snacks and cocktails in Adirondack chairs were all the more special thanks to the constant activity of nature in Barnstable Harbor. Martin and his team were communicative and responsive to my many pings as we got settled into our stay. One last thank you to Matt for delivering the new paddleboard paddles so we could play in the water!
