Celebrate Thanksgiving 30 miles from Plymouth Rock!

-BEACH PARKING PASS INCLUDED-

See what it is like to stay in a historical property nestled along Old Kings Highway yet so CLOSE (2 1/2 miles) to beautiful SANDY NECK BEACH on CAPE COD BAY! (owner provides Beach Pass, which is worth $375. Damage deposit is $875. to include loss of or failure to return $375. beach pass).

“The Charles Gray House" circa 1835 has many exquisite updates. It has the warmth and charm of yesteryear combined with the richness of today’s trends with all the various mod cons. This gracious home sits on over two acres of fenced in private rolling grounds accented by stone walls, brick walkways, glorious gardens, and a delightful gazebo awaiting you with a "book in hand" and a pot of tea or your favorite glass of wine.

Indulge yourself in comfort while stepping through this home with the wonderful flow to its floor plan offering a palette of colors from room to room. It’s graced with the original pine floors, has an eat-in kitchen with soapstone countertops as well as a formal dining room that can accommodate 8 guests for dinner.

There is a beautiful sunny first floor bedroom with a queen size bed and ensuite-bath with a glassed in tile shower adjacent to a study/library. The elegant bannister staircase in the foyer leads up to two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths~ the queen bed master has both a soaking tub and glassed in shower, and the third bedroom has two twin size beds and a private bath.

Recently installed is a brand new air conditioning (split system) on the second floor with central a/c on the first floor. The spacious living room has comfortable furniture, custom built -ins, a baby grand piano to "tickle the ivories" and French doors leading into a bright four season sunroom with ample wicker furniture, a 60” flat screen TV and dining for 8. The sunroom door leads to a deck with additional dining for 3, and with stairs leading down into one of the fenced in yards for your dog. The owner will consider a small (up to 20 lbs.) non-shedding dog with a $150 pet fee.

There is an additional deck off of the kitchen with a table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee under a pergola that is beautifully embellished with hanging and potted flowering plants. A few steps down and through the gate is a brick patio with a Weber gas grill and dining for 8. BONUS: Wash off the beach sand in the enclosed hot outdoor shower!

Come enjoy this special Cape Cod getaway which is so handy to everything the mid-cape area has to offer. There are numerous art galleries and antique shops along 6A, as well as whale watching outings from nearby Barnstable Harbor (Millway Beach).

Enjoy waterside dining at popular Mattakeese Wharf restaurant, shopping at The Cape Cod Mall, public golf at The Barnstable Fairgrounds, and there is always exciting nightlife in downtown Hyannis! Stroll down Main Street and look at all the menus until you find what you are looking for. Seek out Ocean Street for the best clams. Take in the gorgeous sunsets from Baxter’s, Tugboat’s on Hyannis Harbor or Fisherman’s View in Sandwich on the Cape Cod canal. There are ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket from either Hyannis or Woods Hole.

We look forward to having you as our guests!

Idyllic property and lovely historic home
Booking and checkin were seamless! The home is cozy and welcoming! Very clean and charming. I couldn’t stop taking photographs! My one note is that the back stairs are so steep and the ceiling was so low that I preferred to block them off so no one would use them during our stay. The third bedroom is lovely but as you come out the door and into the hallway, there is a step down onto half a landing with the other half being the top step in the staircase. We didn’t need that third bedroom so I just closed the door so no one would go in there but potential renters should know about this just so they are aware. It is an old historic home and these things are part of the charm but bringing my 18 month old grandson along on this trip caused me to look at things differently. The overall experience was wonderful!!!

Charming Historic Home
We loved our stay at the Charles Gray home. It had so much charm and we enjoyed each area of the home. We loved the property and gardens as well. The home included everything we might need! Don't hesitate to rent this home, we would definitely come back to it in the future. We would highly recommend this home for adults as well as families with young children. The old and new features balanced the home nicely. Many thanks for sharing your home with us Kinnet! Also a great area close to so many things on the Cape!

Incredible!! Take me back
The house and property were absolutely gorgeous. Better than the pictures. Our children were in heaven in the backyard. We had to force them to go to the beach, they just loved all the gardens and berries and privacy! Inside was amazing too- incredibly clean, so well stocked with anything you could ever need! The bedrooms were so cozy and adorable. The owner thought of everything and was available and very informative. We couldn’t have asked for more. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer. Also the location was great- easy to get to other towns on the Cape and out and about. We would come back in a heart beat.

This is just a truly beautiful home! The grounds are lush and ample. We had a wonderful time in Cape Cod! I wish our stay was longer. Check in was easy. Having a first floor bedroom was great and needed. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful. It was so nice to be able to have our dog with us and know she was safe in the yard!

We had a lovely time at this charming property. It has a huge garden and also lots of space inside. The house was well equipped (e.g herbs and teas in the kitchen, beach chairs and bicycles in the shed) and we appreciated having the beach park permit for free parking.

Perfect place for your and your family
There are so many wonderful highlights about this property it’s almost impossible to list them all. But here’s a try. My son and daughter live in different states and it’s hard to get everyone together. One of my nephew’s was marrying at the cape. After looking on VRBO I came across this jewel. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The back yard was amazing, for our little pups. The kitchen where we spent most the time preparing for dinner had everything we needed. It’s such a beautiful place we intend to make it a yearly trip. Thank you Kennit

Wow!!! The best choice we could have made
We did a lot of research before deciding on this property and we really didn't regret it. It was a wow, all the way around. As soon as we walked through the front door, we were immersed in the world of this charming and spacious New England heritage home. It was wonderful! The interior of the house has been restored and everything in it is of good quality. Our kids all slept very well in their room located on the seconde floor. Our oldest had a master bedroom to himself. Our two younger ones slept in the same room (two single beds). As for us, we had another beautiful room, located on the first floor. The house was well air-conditioned. We particularly appreciated the large dining/living room surrounded by paneled windows. This is where we ate and played board games. There is also a second large living room and a second beautiful dining room. We also really enjoyed the huge, beautifully landscaped backyard with a fire pit and a pergola for morning coffee. The house is really well located in the beautiful municipality of Barnstable. It was a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches on Cape Cod or to good restaurants, microbreweries, etc. The owner was in constant communication with us from start to finish and we felt her sincere desire to provide us with the best Cape Cod experience possible. She also provides us with various things that can enhance the stay, including bicycles, knee boards, etc. I highly recommend this property. I would definitely go back.

VERY UPDATED HISTORIC HOUSE
AMAZING historic house right off of 6A in West Barnstable! The house is so clean and charming- the grounds are INCREDIBLE! Everything you need- from beach chairs to bikes! Each bedroom has its own very nice bathroom- comfortable beds with very nice linens- so much space for everyone in the family to gather or spread out! The AC was so refreshing and we loved laying in the hammocks under the trees after a day at the beach! FANTASTIC house!!

We loved our stay at The Charles Gray house. The home was exactly as advertised, in fact it was better in person! The beds were comfortable, the home beautifully furnished, the grounds lovely and the communication with Kinnet was great. She gave us some wonderful ideas on places to visit while staying in Cape Cod. I would highly recommend this home. It was fascinating to read and see all the history behind it. Would love to stay here again if we get the chance to head to Cape Cod again.

Beautiful house and yard
We had a great summer vacation at Kinnet's house! We love historic houses and this one did not disappoint. It was perfect for us with one bedroom downstairs for my mother and two upstairs, one for me and my husband and the other for our toddler. All bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. The sun room is a lovely spot to hang out in the evening with great breezes, a big table, and a really nice TV. I feel like the listing does not do the yard justice, it has a HUGE lot with beautiful trees and plants and tons of privacy, nice lawns for my daughter to run around in, a gazebo with chairs and a table, a garden, and a fully fenced in area for a dog. Two things to be aware of are the retro stove are is super cool but a bit complicated to use, and the back stairs up to the bedroom with two twins are extremely steep, even by 1800s house standards. Would not stop us whatsoever from staying again, we made a lot of great memories here and we were very comfortable and well taken care of! Thanks Kinnet!

This spectacular home is located in the middle of the Cape making it the perfect location to venture out and enjoy sightseeing in any direction. There is a playground within walking distance where little ones can see horses and goats along the walk. We enjoyed having the family together in the huge sunroom. The host has everything that you may have forgotten to pack, and the fenced yard is like a park! We are looking forward to returning to this home for another great vacation on the Cape!
