Stepping onto the property of this historic grand manor, one is immediately enveloped by the charm of the Victorian era, from the enchanting rooftop cupola to the gleaming hardwood floors. Built-in 1856 for Sea Captain Russell Marston, the 5,600-square-foot estate stands as a testament to timeless elegance. Recent renovations have beautifully blended old-world allure with modern comforts, offering the perfect milieu for groups of up to 20. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, from high-end kitchen appliances to the expansive great room, making both entertaining and relaxing a breeze. The main floor boasts multiple living spaces, ensuring ample room for everyone, whether you're indulging in a movie night, savoring a book in the lounge, or letting the young ones enjoy the gaming area. Diverse sleeping arrangements span across three levels, with eight spacious bedrooms. The grandeur continues with a King suite complete with a luxurious ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub. Another highlight is the large King suite with its exterior entrance, offering a unique blend of privacy and access. And for those who ascend to the third level, a delightful array of rooms awaits, alongside gaming entertainment. But the indoors is just the beginning. Outdoors, the heated pool invites for sun-soaked days, complemented by the resort-style lounge. Come evening, the stone courtyard patio becomes an ideal gathering spot, with its upscale seating around a gas fire pit. And for those with a competitive spirit, the upcoming pickleball court beckons for friendly family tournaments. Set on over an acre of landscaped grounds, this estate offers endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. From soccer games in the vast yard to basketball matches in the driveway, every moment promises joy and togetherness. Not to forget, its prime location in the Centerville Historic District is a gateway to the best of Cape Cod, with a beach pass at the ready for those beach day excursions. Truly, this home isn’t just a vacation rental; it’s an experience, an unforgettable sojourn into luxury and leisure.

Location

Inside the destination

Neighborhood: Centerville Village - The home's mid-Cape location is ideal, in the heart of the charming Centerville Historic District, and less than one mile from popular Craigville Beach (a wide sandy beach with a beautiful view of Nantucket Sound). It's a short walk along the sidewalk to the water, or a quick two-minute drive. Just five minutes down Main Street, you can enjoy award-winning Four Seas Ice Cream, perfect for a treat at any time or after dinner. Nearby, you'll find the 1856 Country Store, which still sells “penny candy" along with gifts and souvenirs, as well as the library and a new playground. - It’s just 5 minutes to upscale shopping and dining in Osterville, 10 minutes to the variety of options in downtown Hyannis and the ferries to the Islands, and 15 minutes to trendy Mashpee Commons. You’re also close to excellent local markets, bakeries, and coffee shops, along with convenient stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

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 so are not transferable.

Reviews

William

We loved the property, enough rooms and beds for a group of 20! Location is perfect for an off-season getaway only a block from the Country Store and 10 min walk to Craigsville beach. The house is beautifully appointed, each room having its own unique charm, doesn't even feel like a rental. We stayed over Thanksgiving break and kitchen had ample tableware, extra frig, and better than adequate cookware for preparing large meals. Our compliments to the the owners and property management team for offering such a great space to enjoy family and friends. Thank you!
