I recently came back from a wonderful sojourn on Cape Cod. Wianno/Osterville to be exact. My family rented a house in Osterville for the month and all children and grandchildren were invited up to play and relax.

Cape Cod is very special to me. You probably have the same feeling about a place that you went to when you were a child, too. Well, that’s my relationship with Cape Cod. Every summer as a child (from 5yrs until college), my family rented a house in HyannisPort, MA. I spent my summers sailing, going to the beach and playing tennis.
I loved Cape Cod! I loved it so much – that I begged my parents to let me get married up there. And, here we are – twelve years after my marriage -back on the Cape.

What I love about the Cape are its homes. I’m attracted to a lot of the older homes with unusual quirks to them – like towers, or gambrel rooves, etc… But, in general, I just really appreciate homes. I come by it naturally – my mom’s a realtor. So, I grew up looking at the homes – which is part of the reason why I, probably, became an interior designer. Wianno has some beautiful homes! However, a lot are built on the beach and difficult to see from the street – and, well…I didn’t want to look TOO touristy! Here are some of the homes I admired from my morning walk. I, especially, loved the homes with an abundance of flowers or hydrangeas!   and, my favorite house – a cottage right on the beach! (below)
I will very much miss my summer vacation on Cape Cod. But, I have great memories to cherish! |

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! I went to Cape Cod last summer and I really enjoyed the beaches and the fact that there was always something to do. I am looking at a Cape Cod vacation rental because I definitely want to go back this summer more times this season than last year.
