About this property

Charming location just across the road from Baker's Pond. The house is spacious with beautiful hardwood floors throughout and central air. The comforts of home include cable TV in living room, Wi-Fi, main floor washer and dryer. The kitchen has it all: dishwasher, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker and of course, a lobster pot. You will love the openness between the breakfast room and kitchen.
You are also welcome to use the garage and any barbecue and recreation equipment you find.
The location is ideal...a short 5-min walk to the tucked-away, sandy beach on Baker's Pond. You can swim, kayak, canoe or fish. This pond is stocked with trout and small-mouth bass.
Explore the 'Ancient Way'--back roads into Nickerson State Park. Great for a WALKING adventure. It's accessible about 2 blocks/10-min walk up the road Directions to the 'Ancient Way' is in our guest book.
There are big waves at Nauset Beach, a 10-min drive, where you can swim, boogie board or just walk the long expanse of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Skaket Beach, on Cape Cod Bay, is only a 5-min drive away. The water is warmer than Nauset and at low tide you can walk out for almost a mile.
Rock Harbor(free parking) is just a little past Skaket Beach. Arrange a fishing trip on one of the many charter boats or just watch them bring in their catch. Rock Harbor is another good spot to walk out "on the flats" at low tide. Really fun for kids! And don't miss the sunset on Cape Cod Bay-WOW!
This is a lovely house, always meant to be enjoyed, in a perfect Cape Cod location.

Perfect Cape Getaway

We had a wonderful week at this property. The space worked great for our family of four. The house is in a fantastic location, set off from the street and a short walk away from a terrific public pond. The mossy and partially shaded yard was amazing for our two toddlers, and the living room and bedrooms were well balanced and comfortable for the group.

Very Comfortable Home

I do not use the word home lightly. This property feels like home, not a rental. It is in a fairly secluded quiet location but very close to our favorite beaches on both the ocean and bay side. Thank you again for a perfect stay.

Wonderful week at the Hinkle House

We truly enjoyed our week. The house is spacious yet cozy and we had everything we needed. (On our wish list if one is picky though, would perhaps be an outdoor propane grill.) The area is kind of secluded with lots of trees surrounding the house. But the 6 Highway is very close and something you clearly hear when being outside. We really enjoyed Bakers pond, a 2-min walk away, for morning and evening swims. Also Cliff Pond some 25-min walk away through beautiful Nickerson State Park was perfect. The owners where very helpful and answered very fast when we contacted them. Thank you Carol och Guy!

About the host

Hosted by Carol and Guy Ritzman

My parents, who loved the Cape, built this home in 1978 after my father retired from the Milwaukee Police Department. We have decided to keep the property in the family as a getaway place for us and to allow others to enjoy the beauty of Cape Cod as well.
