A Fourth of July State of Mind

   What is the one thing on everyone’s mind this week? The 4^th of July, of course. With Independence Day on every Cape Cod goers’ mind it is no surprise that everyone is clearing their schedules for the big weekend to come. This star-spangled excitement has started to envelop Cape Cod so get your American Flag ready.

As route 6 backs up we can expect a crowded and eventful weekend. When thinking of 4^th of July barbecues, beach and fireworks immediately come to our minds and these joyous traditions are strong rooted here on the Cape. The Chatham 4^th of July parade, one of our long standing traditions, goes above and beyond with floats from our favorite local restaurants, retailers, marching bands and more.

Naturally we asked our team members and friends what they plan to do this 4^th of July and received answers including shopping in Provincetown, Whale Watching and even filling our cooler up and heading to the National Seashore. However, what we all had in common was the Fireworks! Cape Cod is renowned for its firework extravaganzas that light up the coastal skies. Whether you are lathering up sun screen on the 559.6 miles of pristine coastline, cooking up some fresh lobsters and creamy butter or checking out the bustling parades, Cape Cod is the place to be.

Make your Independence Day-dreams a reality this summer with NEVR. For a list of times and locations of fireworks, parades and more holiday events for July 4^th, 2015 download our App, New England Vacation Rentals, from the app store and feast your eyes on our twitter and Instagram account with updates on what the locals have in store!

Live Like a Local

 We all have that dream of an imaginary place, our sanctuary. The place you feel homesick for even if have never been. Our cherished home away from home is Cape Cod. The minute we cross of the Sagamore Bridge we become new people. A sense of serenity and relaxation hits us like a wave crashing over the beaches of the National Seashore. Maybe it is just the vitamin D boost or the fresh pedicure feeling from the exfoliating sand but whatever it is, is working.

The Cape for all of us here at New England Vacation Rentals is the place to unplug and recharge if only for a short amount of time. We are all leaping full force into summer after this winter from hell so join us and unplug from the fast paced life we have all grown to live. Who needs a therapist when you can breath in the salty air, listen to the waves break and squeeze that warm sand between your toes. 




LIVE LIKE A LOCAL AND ENJOY YOUR STAY!

Hello Summer...

Ah Summer how we missed you!!! 

 It finally feels like spring and summer all at once on Cape Cod.  For the first time in many years we actually had a cold snowy winter.  But as we drive around now we suddenly see green grass and trees and the flowers are now blooming.

There is nothing like a Cape Cod garden.  Our favorites are the beautiful perennial's and of course when the hydrangeas peak…then we know it is Cape Cod summer.

If you never have been to the Cape let us help you be a local and we will do our best to find you the best home for your group…any budget and any size.  You rent one of our vacation homes for as little as $800 a week for a cottage and up to $20,000 a week for a luxury home.

New England….Weather for All Seasons

You never know what kind of weather you will get in New England…Yesterday on Cape Cod-- it was sunny, crisp and beautiful.  As we were driving around Chatham, we received this photo from Maine. This is what I was seeing?

In Western Maine there was snow...

And then today on Cape Cod there is snow…

How can that be?  But that is New England for you.  We love the diverse New England weather. We love snow, leaves turning in the fall, spring flowers and summer heat and warm Nantucket Sound.

Whatever the weather…we have a home for you and your family to enjoy.  Come to Cape Cod and Maine for all seasons…The holidays are almost here.  Treat your family to a vacation with us!!

Rainbow Over Chatham in October

Here it is October 22 and we just stepped outside our Chatham office to see this beautiful rainbow.  What do you think?

The temperature is a nice 65 degrees and the sun is out -yet there were a few misty rain showers...

This past weekend the Cape was very busy with several festivals such as the Wellfleet Oyster festival, Chatham and Harwich Scallop festivals, Chatham Pumpkins in the Park and several road races and craft fairs.

Summer rentals have always been popular on the Cape.  But now-- we are seeing more off season activity and with that we are offering special off season rental packages for our Cape Cod homes.  

Have a wedding to attend on the Cape?  How about the Christmas Stroll or many of the local events here on the Cape…

Happy Fall!

This is what Fall looks like on Cape Cod.  These photos were taken in Chatham earlier this week.  The weather has been perfect.  The mornings start out a little cool --just right for a walk or outdoor exercise.  The afternoons are still beach weather and believe it or not folks are still swimming.

These pictures just make you smile and say "Happy Fall"!  

Thank you to Agway of Chatham for giving us the honor to take these beautiful photos!

Don't miss the Fall on Cape Cod...and there are still lots of weekend fairs, festivals and art shows!!

Sonnie with a View, June 2013

Sonnie from our company loves working on Cape Cod.  Every week we meet for what we call a "working lunch".   We drive around in my convertible VW take photos and movies of our Rental Homes and our favorite Cape spots.  

It has been so much fun to see the Cape come alive this Spring.  Flowers blooming, grass is green and the beaches are just so beautiful.  

We work hard but we never forget to take a moment and enjoy why we live on Cape Cod.  

Say Yes to New England and say Yes to Cape Cod.   Take a look at some of our great homes: http://rentals.newenglandvacationrentals.com/CapeCodRentals.aspx

A perfect Cape Cod Winter Sunset

Happy Holidays to All. 

In the sometimes crazy and strange times we are in....we still can find the joy in all...

This time of year is the perfect time to reflect and see the joy from this year and also to look forward to what we feel are still things to be accomplished or on our wish list. 


Introducing our friend Lisa...she is a new wash a shore to Cape Cod and we love seeing the Cape through her eyes. She has been a fan of our homes and a vacation home visitor for a long time and now she has her own piece of paradise. Lisa and her husband have been here almost a year now and have been in the throws of completely restoring a vintage Cape home. In all of her transitions this year she finds her "moments" each day on the Cape and snaps that moment into what sometimes we long time residents forget to take in each day. She is also an amazing knitter and knits these very cool baby hats etc. Take a look at her stuff at: http://www.etsy.com/people/ldaunais?ref=owner_profile_leftnav

Lisa will now be sharing her moments with us (when she can remember) and remind us all why we love the Cape.  Here are here first pics she sent me as we took in the Bank Street Beach in Harwich Port sunset a few days ago.

It was a perfect sunset indeed.  And here is Lisa....

Enjoy and take some time to enjoy your "MOMENTS".  And don't forget to say "YES" to the Cape!

Ready, Set, Summer!

April break is here and now many are coming to the Cape to search for their perfect Summer Vacation Rental.  Lots of prime weeks in great homes have been booked but come down and we will find you the perfect home.  Consider the shoulder season...there is nothing like "Indian Summer" on the Cape.

Come late June and you can run or walk the Harwich Road Race on June 23rd. www.harwichroadrace.com  This is a very fun 5K (but certified race) that takes you through downtown and around Harwich Port.

And don't forget there is some kind of fun event every day in our towns...art in the park, music, farmer markets, theatre and lots of local great seafood and fish.  Have you ever been clamming...we can point you in the right direction.

See you on the Cape!

Spring Ahead!!

So it is almost March and the temperatures have been really mild.  I travel back and forth from Cape Cod to Maine each week and watch the everchanging landscape.

It has been seasonally warm on the Cape ---I see folks outside wearing just light jackets and sweatshirts.  They are in full spring mode.  Lots of bike riders, golfers, runners, walkers.  I even saw people playing tennis.  The warmer weather has created an interest in people wanting to book their summer vacation rental earlier than previous years.

I also think folks are tired of the tough economy and are just ready for a much needed vacation.  And the Cape still gives great value for your money.  Where else can you book a week's accommodation for 5 for under $1,000.

As for Maine...it has been a dry winter.   Lucky for snow making and really great grooming as this what we have been skiing on so far this season.  But on Friday -we had 8 inches of beautiful snow and this week even more snow is coming.  For those of you who have not had a chance to ski this year, now is the time.  There are great lift ticket deals at http://www.newenglandvacationrentals.com/guest/lifttickets.html.

Spring is in the air....just get outside and do something with your family that is fun for all.

Enjoy!!

Cape Cod-Life as it used to be and should be

Cape Cod is the way life used to be, should be, and in many regards still is, Once you get here, you feel like you took a step back in time. We have a Cape Cod commission that has worked really hard to keep our towns, small town-like.  Each town has a main street, library, local events, bike trails, road races, music festivals, and the beaches are voted some of the best in the world. It is not high-tech, but it is a simpler life. When you come here you really feel like you are on vacation.

The Cape Cod National Seashore is a must see while vacationing here. In 1961, President Kennedy signed the legislation that makes this what it is today. It is a 40-mile stretch of unspoiled sandy beach in Outer Cape Cod, with 559.6 miles of beautiful and also unspoiled coastline.

There are hundreds of light-houses, which some people like driving from light-house to light-house. We are famous for our seafood, in fact some people get their clamming license for the weekend. We just have cute quaint villages with that typical New England architecture. Most all the houses are that salt box cape style with natural shingles having pretty yards with beautiful landscaping.

Ice Cream! Cape Cod is super popular for Ice Cream. All of it is homemade, and there is competition between the ice cream venues. There have been many traveling road-shows coming to Cape Cod to sample that ice cream. On any given night you can see the lines of people waiting to get ice cream.

For the baseball enthusiast, Cape Cod has the best summer league for current college baseball players all across the country. It offers a great family outing while staying on the Cape during your vacation. This is part of our lifestyle. Every little town has a baseball team. All the talent scouts from all the major league teams come to watch these players in the summer. It doesn't cost anything to go to the games, you can donate a dollar or two or more if you want. It is old-fashioned fields with old fashioned bleachers. The kids can meet the players on the field before the game starts.

Every town in the summer has their own music festivals, art shows, craft fairs, antique shows, and so many things for kids. The Cape is also a great vacation get-away for those that like to run. 

The Cape is also famous for road races.Every weekend starting in the spring, all the way through the fall, you can find a race to participate in. They can be as small as 5k or up to half marathon. We have runners that book their vacations around these races.

Come on Say yes to the Cape!!
