Summary: This home sits on a stunning piece of property across the street from the harbor. The inside is charming, comfortable and homey. We also rented the cottage on the back on the property. Just as wonderful. We didn't lack for anything. Communication with the owners was wonderful! We hope to have an opportunity to rent again some time in the future!
Diane D. Jul 21, 2024 11:02:12 AM
Summary: This home is wonderful with a vast lawn and lovely gardens throughout the property. The location close to the village and beaches is great. The large main house and cottage are well appointed with modern amenities while maintaining the charm characteristic of a quintessential Cape Cod home. Our family of 14 found the property delightful and a comfortable fit for our large group. The hosts were very responsive to our needs and communication was great! I would highly recommend this property for a multigenerational family vacation.
Pamela P. Jul 15, 2024 05:21:42 AM
Summary: This property was beautiful. The home contains everything you need for a vacation in Cape Cod. The grounds are gorgeous. There are numerous sitting areas both outside and in which enable quiet contemplation, group conversation, and extensive play area for children. The harbor is right across the street providing a beautiful view. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with cookware, silverware, dishes, serving dishes, glassware, and necessary appliances. We were a family of 15 and were able to sit very comfortably at long dining tables both inside and outside on the patio. The home is within walking distance of town, several restaurants, and the beach (maybe 15 minutes to the beach). The owners could not have been any more accommodating and were readily available. Communication was particularly good and personal. The beds were comfortable, as was all of the furniture and the house is very open and inviting. We would certainly return.

Summary: My family recently rented Stepping Stones and Pebbles for a week and had a wonderful experience - highly recommend renting this beautiful property! Perfect rental for a larger group, plenty of space to gather together while also offering lots of privacy with bedrooms and bathrooms. The house comes equipped with everything you would need for your stay - grill, fire pit, outdoor furniture, beach chairs, coolers, bikes… David and Marylynn were responsive and helped answer any question I had, very easy to work with! My family had the best week spending time together creating memories! Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful home!

Summary: Marylynn and David were the best hosts and we had a wonderful stay at their beautiful home for our wedding! The house is in a great location within walking distance to town and the beach. It was so nice to have my whole family together in one place with plenty of room!

Summary: This was a fantastic rental for location, venue, scenery, property, home accommodations and coordination experience. Well done and very memorable for our large family. Hosts were involved and available throughout entire rental process and our stay. Stepping Stones will always be a sweet memory for us.

Summary: We loved the house and it’s close proximity to my son’s wedding venue at Wychmere Beach club. The house is spacious and allowed our large family to be together for 4 days during wedding activities. We would highly recommend this home… owner was very hands on… available whenever we needed her… terrific property and owner.

Summary: A charming home for sure. We enjoyed our stay very much. If you like old design this is the house for you. Cedar siding and roof, copper flashing, its adorable. The home's common spaces are large, great for large family gatherings especially the large dining room table. There were 15 of us in the main house, and 2 more in the cottage next door and we all fit very comfortably. Some of the bedrooms are small but just fine for sleeping. The grounds of the home are beautiful. The front yard is huge, with a view of the quintessential New England harbor just across the street. The back/side yard is very private, surrounded by trees and plants with a big table and chairs for everyone to sit around and enjoy. They have a large barbeque as well, so it’s the perfect spot for family to be together and enjoy a meal outdoors. We also took advantage of the firepit at night which was a lovely way to end a summer day. Not all bedrooms have their own bath and a couple weren’t in the best of shape. Some had no locks on doors or exhaust fans. The house was certainly walking distance to the quaint downtown but traffic on the roadway in front is very heavy during the day. You cannot drive and park at the nearest beach (Merkel Beach) as no parking is available to the public. You must walk 10 minutes but note that there are no sidewalks. The traffic on Snowy Inn Road is light however. There are other beaches a short drive away with parking available at a cost. It's much too far to carry a paddleboard or kayaks to Merkel unless you’re very fit and want to risk the traffic. Note that there is no functioning trailer to carry the kayaks or paddle boards. The bicycles are in some disrepair, and we couldn’t find a bicycle pump so I wouldn’t count on those. The house has some maintenance issues here and there, such as leaking shower, damage from roof leak in kitchen, broken icemaker on main fridge, loose tables, outdoor chairs with no cushions. We recognize that COVID has made finding people to help clean and maintain the home is likely a major factor. Despite some disappointments with little details at this price point, we had a great time, and the owners were absolutely lovely to deal with.
