Cape Cod - Unique and Odd

March is here! We can already feel the warmth in the air.  We’ve had a few very mild days this week and feel very lucky to have gotten a taste of spring. Speaking of luck and springtime, the luck of the Irish is popping up everywhere.  

Just in time for the Saint Patrick’s Day, there is the famous Yarmouth parade, an annual festive event that draws people from every corner of Cape Cod and beyond. Massachusetts is known for being a home-base for people of Irish descent and Cape Cod is no different. We’ve got Irish Pubs all over, from The Claddagh in West Harwich to Liam McGuire’s in Falmouth and everywhere in between. 

Looking for a true Irish breakfast? The Keltic Kitchen in Yarmouth has got you covered. You don’t even have to have that Celtic blood running through you, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! The St. Patrick’s Day parade in Yarmouth takes place this Saturday March 5, 2016 at 11am. Be sure to arrive early as this event does draw in the masses of lads and lasses.

Cape Cod is full of all kinds of unique attractions and out-of-the-box things to do. Have you ever been to the Edward Gorey House, home of the famous off-beat children’s book illustrator? How about the oldest home on Cape Cod – The Hoxie House in Sandwich? Word on the street is that a pirate museum may be opening at the site of the old ZooQuarium in Yarmouth. Scargo Tower is a sight to behold, located in Dennis, this 1901 cobblestone tower offers breathtaking vistas from the highest point in the mid-Cape area and is free to visit. How about gazing up at a 150 year old weeping beech tree, feel transported to a mythical place beneath the branches of this historic giant in Yarmouth Port. 

In a place so full of history, oddities, unique locales, and vibrancy you’re sure to find something different that piques your interest here on Cape Cod.

It's All About the Memories!

Ahhh… February, the month of love! From the dead of winter emerges the warmth of your heart. 

Even for the single people there is always an opportunity to get together with a group of your friends and celebrate how much you appreciate each other. It’s not just about a significant other, it’s about love in general. The love for your friends. The love for your family. The love for your pets. The love of nature, the beach, a sunrise, flowers, a warm mug of tea, your favorite sweater, a glass of red wine by the fire.

 It is about the love for life and taking a day to appreciate whatever it is you choose to love, whatever makes your heart sing.


Now, we do love big romantic gestures and really, who doesn’t? But who says that you need to go out and spend an arm and a leg on dinner at a high end restaurant and fancy flowers and jewelry to prove your love? You know you’ll probably just bicker over whose fault it is that you’re late for your dinner reservations anyway. 

We have a solution to the madness – give a gift that doesn’t need to be bought. Give the gift of a memory. 

Make dinner for your love, plan a romantic evening watching the sunset with a bottle of wine, stargaze cuddled up in a warm blanket with a couple of hot cocoas. The best things in life are free. 

Why do you love your significant other, best friends, sister, mom, or dad? We think writing them a letter is the perfect way to show them you love them, make a top 10 list—top ten reasons you love them, top 10 funniest memories you’ve shared together, or the top 10 times they made you smile the biggest. This is a gift that is really from the heart and is sure to make them feel genuinely loved and appreciated.

There are plenty of ways to be creative with your Valentine’s Day gifts. We hope that you try something different this year than the old tired routine, plus what’s romantic about a routine? Romance is spontaneity, the creation of a moment that you will remember forever. 

It’s about more than money, it’s about the memory.

New Year, New You.


So what’s your New Year’s Resolution? Everyone usually thinks big goals--but we believe you should pick some small simple achievable goals... And then success!  

We know everyone is clamoring for the gym and starting up diets, but what about scheduling time for you and your loved ones.  


What we love about Cape Cod is it's simplicity in that you can just turn off and enjoy everything here. So now is the time to schedule your vacation this year. Come to the Cape anytime even though the summer is most popular.

When you rent a vacation rental home, you and your group have space to spread out, a fully equipped kitchen to cook, living areas, game areas and the most beautiful outdoor playground around. You will have a home base for jogs on the beach - we know that the sweet salt air is just the invigorating push that will keep you motivated!  


Fresh grilled seafood straight off the boat, now that’s certainly something that will fit into every diet plan! You really can have it all here on Cape Cod! 

Now is the time to embrace new beginnings and new opportunities.

Think about it, every summer visiting your favorite seaside retreat with your friends and family making new memories – sounds like a dream. Not only can you live the dream, you can also share this dream with others --sharing a piece of paradise seems like a very generous resolution that will be sure to bring you all kinds of good karma!
