4/10ths Mile to Skaket Beach

We planned a family vacation/reunion after not seeing each other for over a year due to COVID-19. We originally reserved a home in a different location on the Cape through Airbnb (Dennis: 4 Bedroom/2.5 Bathroom home w/ private beach - Entire house hosted by Claudine) but less than 48 hours before we were to start our vacation the host emailed to say she had double booked the home and we could not stay there. With folks coming from all over the country you can imagine this was very disappointing and stressful. We 'scrambled' to find a new place and decided on Beach Road. We normally shy away from new listings with no reviews but we had few choices at that point. Things have a way of working out in the end. Beach Road was fantastic! The home is beautiful and very clean and tastefully decorated and well equipped. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking large family dinners. There were plenty of towels for the house/bathing and for the beach. The washer and dryer worked well. There were also plenty of beach accessories such as beach chairs, umbrellas, toys for the kids, etc. that are really nice to have in a beach rental. The home itself had great books and games for kids. Our two girls loved the kids room and all there was to explore in terms of books and games. The air conditioners kept the home cool and dry. The screen porch is a great place to have dinner outdoors without any bug bites. The location is very close to everything including a large grocery store yet it feels very private and off the beaten path - the perfect mix. Perhaps the best part was the beach - our 4 year old could walk to the beach without being carried but we did drive several times due to older folks not wanting to make the 1/2 mile walk. There was plenty of parking at the beach and it is free after 4:30 pm if you want to go late in the day. The water was surprisingly warm, very calm and very shallow far from shore - perfect for little ones. There were plenty of crabs to pick up and shells to collect. The kids had a great time. I would recommend Beach Road for a relaxed, easy and wonderful family get away. The quintessential Cape Cod experience. We would stay again in the future.
