My large family group had limited options for our vacation because our father is in a wheelchair. We thought we might have to settle when it came to a house, but we could not have been more wrong! We found Blue Waters and it was perfect! The host was so accommodating and understanding of our needs and the house itself was stunning. Two of all appliances makes it a perfect spot for larger groups. The views from the pool of the wildlife and the inlet were spectacular and at night the stargazing from the roof deck were literally awesome. The host was wonderful to deal with and the location was perfect. Highly recommend this property and hope to return again and again.

We gathered here to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. We were a total of 16 people that included my 80 yr old mom, my 2 sisters and our families, which included children from the ages of 25 - 10 and one 1 yr-old. The house is just as it is described. The view is magnificent!! As you can imagine, everyone really enjoyed the pool. We also rented a kayak and a canoe, which were delivered and picked up right from the property for a small fee. But you have to watch the tide when you go in the water. And we also had a chef (recommended by the owner) come in and cook a surprise surf and turf dinner for my mom's birthday, which she absolutely loved! We loved that we could all sit at the table together for meals. And play bingo and card games at night. The main floor is spacious enough that you never feel cramped or on top of each other. The roof top deck is absolutely stunning! I woke up every morning to catch the sunrise and listen to the birds. It's a great place for a multi-generational vacation. We could cook when we wanted, having 2 of every appliance was great. And we could go out when we wanted. There were plenty of restaurants close by. I think we visited Sundae School almost every night for ice cream. The elevator would be great for people with disabilities. You can go from the ground floor where the pool is, all the way up to the floor where the roof top deck is. What a wonderful way to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday!! I would definitely recommend this house for a large family gathering of all ages!

We spent five days here recently with several family members to celebrate our 50th anniversary. First, I must comment on the view, which is sublime and peaceful, and enjoyed from most rooms. It is the perfect place to relax, meditate or do yoga. Those with a keen eye will notice varied wildlife on the property and across the inlet. The rooftop deck was great for sharing an early morning cup of coffee, a sundowner, and for stargazing. The heated pool was enjoyed by all, since the ocean water was still on the cool side. The elevator is a great convenience for those who have mobility issues, as were the two dishwashers, two refrigerators and the washer and dryers. The screen porch is perfect for a meal anytime. The master-bath shower is a must-try, with all its spray options. The pool table in the lower level provided evening fun. We found the owner pleasant, helpful and accommodating. One big regret….that we couldn’t stay longer.

My husband and I, our two children, and their families (twelve in all, with ages spanning from 14 months to 78 years) converged on Blue Waters from NM, CO, and PA, and spent ten days in late June savoring the well-appointed house, the incredible location, and the beauty and ambiance that Cape Cod offers. With a toddler and young children to keep track of, we wanted to be able to enjoy being together at the house without having to travel for our entertainment. Blue Waters was perfect for us! The owner responded promptly to questions and remedied our few minor concerns (such as a delayed recycle pick-up) promptly. With big windows throughout the house, we were treated to an incredibly beautiful view regardless of the weather or time of day. The attractive and comfortable bedrooms allowed the adults their own space while our teens enjoyed the futons in the area off the game room. The two refrigerators, two ovens, and two dishwashers that had sounded like overkill to me when I read the write-up proved to be invaluable, and as promised in the description, the kitchen was well equipped—plenty of dishware, glassware, silverware, and large pots for cooking our lobster dinner and corn on the cob for twelve. Everyone fit comfortably at the table, but perhaps because it was glass, meals still felt reasonably cozy. One would think a heated pool an unnecessary luxury with ocean, bay, and lake swimming so nearby, but the pool added immensely to our enjoyment of our stay. (It seemed to have a salt-water purification system, a pleasant surprise.) On a few occasions, all of us got in the pool and cross-generational water gun fights erupted. But least some of us, in various combinations, were in the pool everyday. While two or more of us would be out kayaking on Pochet Inlet in the two kayaks we rented, others would be playing in the pool. The kayakers would usually take a swim when they returned and the pre-teens would have been in the pool the whole time. Waterfront access was a huge plus. The swans pictured on the website visited the dock almost every day. While kayaking early one morning, four of us got within ten feet of an egret and watched in awe as it consumed breakfast. Another day, we explored the next inlet over and saw a turtle and an occupied osprey nest. We did enjoy the ocean and bay beaches and did some fun excursions, too. But Blue Waters was our center, our "home," and it was idyllic. We hope to return someday.

We rented this house in mid-September and it was all we hoped for and more! The house is beautiful and well kept and was great for our multi-generational family visit! The owner was a delight, very responsive and informative and provided great additional suggestions when we inquired about dietary restrictions and dining in the area. An absolute delight all around!

We stayed here for memorial day weekend 2014 to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. The house was perfect for our family of 17 (parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews). The views were beautiful. The house was beautiful. The dining room table was big enough to fit us all for wonderful family meals and the double sinks and dishwashers made clean up a breeze. We were at first worried about only having 4 bedrooms, but the downstairs was a great sleeping area for the kids (ages 10-19). Thank you for a weekend we will never forget.

We had a small, intimate family celebration at the house last spring. It surpassed all my expectations; the layout of the house, along with the magnificant views seen from literally every room in the house, allowed our celebration to be truly a magical event. The house fit 12 people ranging in ages from 80 years to 6 months comfortably allowing for privacy due to the design of the house. The owner of the house is extremely helpful as well. She helped us with finding a chef and florist who were amazing. She went out of her way to make sure we had all the accommodations necessary, and that the house was ready for us when we arrived. The memories our family had at this house will last a lifetime; we all agreed!

This past summer we took our 3 Children, their spouses, and 6 grandchildren (14 of us in all) and spent two wonderful weeks at Blue Waters. What an incomparable place for a multi family vacation - Two of all major appliances, - a long comfortable table that can seat up to 16 where we all gathered for coffee and breakfast each morning, - a marvelous pool which we used daily, even with all the nearby beaches (great for cleaning off salt water and sand), - a private dock from which we kayaked for hours across the beautiful bay. Zoning limits the number of bedrooms, but there are futons everywhere that make ideal “pajama party” venues for the young ones. We had a great time, and our host arranged services to meet any need (laundry, shopping, housekeeping, etc.) we had a great vacation!

The architecture of this house provides so many environments that there are plenty of quiet spots, and also ample sharing space to gather together. The great room had our favorite jig-saw puzzle table and reading chairs. The heated swimming pool and large deck, with its lovely, breezy, shaded sitting area at one end was a favorite day-time hangout; then some went to the beach in the late afternoons for sand castles and boogey boarding. The elevator allowed my 96yo mom to move around independently with ease. Our favorites: internet access throughout; biking to the beach (courteous and bicycle-aware drivers); spectacular star gazing on the roof deck; feeding the swans; renting kayaks to explore this large and complex inlet; swimming in the heated pool; watching a doe and her fawn feeding across the inlet; bird-watching (humming birds loved the beautiful bushes all around the yard); Cape Cod League baseball games; the peace and tranquility of the inlet. The house is beautiful: soothing color scheme, beautiful light fixtures, open layout of the common areas. A secluded spot was easily found whenever you wanted one. The multiple a/c zones throughout the house were appreciated; mom could keep her suite as warm as she liked! My granddaughters loved their easy access up the outside spiral staircase to the roof deck and their room. The boys enjoyed the billiard room. My son-in-law and granddaughter serenaded us playing the electronic keyboard. The screened-in porch became my husband's man-cave. Those who cooked were delighted with all the cooking and prep space, high quality pots, pans, dishes, serving dishes and utensils. Cleaning up with 2 dishwashers was very quick & easy. Everyone’s least favorite thing: having to go home. What would I do differently? Bring no food or water; pack fewer clothes, and bring more binoculars. There are 2 nearby supermarkets plus several fresh produce & fish markets and bakeries. The highly-rated Zia’s pizza shop even created a dairy-free pizza for us. The house's tap water was very soft and palatable, and the automatic ice cube dispensers were well used. 2 clothes washers/driers = smaller suitcases! Our family reunion was enhanced by this beautiful setting. Life is about building memories; this is a great place to do that. This house and its beautiful surroundings will become your definition of paradise.

This home is the perfect vacation home for all ages. Our youngest is12 years old and the oldest 74. The elevator was key for the parents and the basement was a great escape for the kids to get away from all the adults. The view was spectacular at all times of the day and night from inside or outside of the house. This home has everything you need for cooking and dining and the dinnerware supply was endless. The beds and futons were all very comfortable but my only recommendation would be - when renting the sheets to ask for deep pocket sheets for the mattresses are thicker. For the size of this home you generally wouldn't hear it described as cozy but this place is. I/we loved it!!!!! and hope to get there again.

This home worked beautifully for our family holiday. The setting is wonderful from the topside deck where we enjoyed cocktails or desert, to the poolside for gathering after a day out or relaxing. The kitchen worked beautifully for our large family which enjoys cooking great meals. No crashing into each other. The open floor plan is very good and the house flows well with great views everywhere. We loved gathering around the dining table each night. The home is in excellent condition. It is very close the the beach (bike or drive) and near the bike paths. The setting is lovely if you have a canoe or kayak you can go out directly from the house. You can watch the birds from the house or waters edge. They amenities are good, especially the double appliances. Plenty of parking too. The owner was very attentive. I would highly recommend.
