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…

Here is a list of 27 homes in Chatham, Harwich, Yarmouth and Hyannis that will welcome guests during the off season months.…Click on each link for availability, information and rates.

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!!

Indian Summer on Cape Cod!


 This photo was taken yesterday at Ridgevale Beach in Chatham.





It was just a perfect day. Warm but not too warm and the world just seemed at peace. We know that folks think the Cape is a summer holiday destination but we feel that one of the best times to come here is September. The weather is amazing. The beaches are beautiful and you can enjoy the bike trail, the restaurants and a nice drive out to Provincetown with out any stress.

And not to forget the "off season rates"...It is the only time that you can rent a home on the Cape for less than a week.  Come on --come and see what we see!

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

Popularity of Vacation Rental Homes on the Rise!

Popularity of Vacation Rental Homes on the Rise!!


Cape Cod: Vacation accommodations

Reaching out into the Atlantic like a flexing arm, “The Cape”, as it is affectionately known, is the place where many New Englanders head to for their summer vacation.  Surrounded by 400 miles of beautiful white sand beaches, this pseudo peninsula (it is actually an island) is home to quaint fishing villages and resident artist havens; there are also miles of biking and hiking trails and excellent local seafood at every turn. 

For the convenience of the locals Cape Cod is known as four distinct regions: the Upper-Cape, which includes the towns of Sandwich and Bourne, is an area that is directly connected to the mainland via two bridges; the Mid-Cape, home to Hyannis and nearly 70% of the area’s population; the Lower-Cape, the elbow region filled with family-oriented communities, and the Outer-Cape, (my personal preference) home to the beautiful beaches on the National Seashore and vibrant Provincetown.  The Island’s region includes Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.  Nantucket is quintessentially New England, a seaside town with cobbled streets and a very interesting Whaling Museum.  Martha’s Vineyard has become synonymous with the wealthy and privileged, though the seaside villages, great beaches and ocean views draw crowds of all types.  Edgartown and a number of other locations on the island were used during the filming of the 1975 movie JAWS.

Cape Cod accommodations

There are a wide variety of options to choose from when selecting a place to stay at the Cape.  The hotels and motels vary in quality as they would anywhere, and range from chain establishments to regional favorites and locally well-known icons of hospitality; bed and breakfast venues are also popular with some visitors.

Some hotels offer package deals or special rates depending on when the stay is booked and for how long.  Hotels offer a number of amenities that are included with the nightly rate or are covered by a small fee, such as Internet access, free breakfast and concierge services. 

On the downside, staying in a hotel can be limiting in some ways.  If American Plan is not booked then having no access to a kitchen requires eating out for every meal, which can be quite pricey in Cape Cod. Unless a suite is booked the space for relaxing is limited to one room.  For families and large groups, hotel rooms can be expensive simply due to the number of people being housed. One of the discount hotels should be sought out if the bill needs to be kept down to a more reasonable level.

Vacation rentals



Vacation rentals are very popular with visitors to the Cape; they range from cottages and bungalows to condominiums, flats and full-size houses. They have the great advantage of providing a freedom to truly live like a local.  Private individuals that actually live in the Cape own many of the vacation rentals, and the properties have all the comforts and features of a family home.  Many of the residences have multiple bedrooms, allowing families and large groups to stay together, thereby saving money. The use of the fully equipped kitchens allows for some serious money saving on the food-front as well.  Vacation rentals are also easy to locate, with everything from condominiums to full-size houses being available almost anywhere on the Cape. Vacation rentals are a positive choice for those who wish to truly immerse themselves in the Cape Cod experience.

Say Yes to New England and enjoy a Vacation Rental Home on Cape Cod this summer!
