Cape Cod Summer Escape… and a little day-dreaming

Cape Cod Summer Escape… and a little day-dreaming

We’re spending the week on Cape Cod, a blissful reprieve from the scorching heat back home in New York.  It’s my first time spending any real time here, and it just might be the most perfect family vacation ever – sandy beaches for miles, and plenty of hermit crabs to keep the kids busy for hours!

My  favorite part of Cape Cod is the plethora of beautiful homes.  We rented this beauty for the week:

Everywhere I look, each house is more charming than the next.

 

Perfect for drinking that glass of pinot while watching the kids play on the lawn:wellfleet_cottage

Those windows must look out onto something pretty fantastic:

And some Cape Cod interiors are just lovely.  This is from a house in Provincetown, MA, at the tip of the Cape:

A Chatham home, beachy without being kitschy:

Any summer house dreams of your own…?   A cottage on the Cape, an old-school lake house, or a mountain retreat?
