Family Birthday Celebration

The house and surrounding gardens / grounds were lovely! The house was well equipped and accommodated 15 adults and an infant perfectly. Great location for walking to beach plus driving to other parts of the Cape. Owners were very accessible to address concerns. Only negative was WiFi connection which was unreliable.

Magical property!

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!

Quintessential Cape Cod Home

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.

This was the perfect venue for our family as we attended a wedding nearby. The grandchildren were able to play outside on the lovely grounds. We also walked to the beach and explored the seashore. It was nice having everyone in one place and in such a lovely home.

This is a terrific house. Large and spacious. Easily accommodated our 16 family members.

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.

Beautifully maintained home with spectacular grounds and harbor view.

Plenty of space for group gatherings, yet areas for quite solitude. Our family of ten enjoyed this property centrally located on the Cape that provides easy access to everything we covered from Provincetown to Martha's Vineyard. Hope one day to return with grandchildren added, since two of our children were expecting on the trip. Thanks to the Clunes for sharing your beautiful home.

Beautiful home in a perfect location!

The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable for a big group of friends (15 people). Marlynn was responsive to any questions we had about the house and was kind enough to let us use the beach chairs/coolers/bikes in her garage. The location is also perfect: right in the middle of town and an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. The property has a great lawn for outdoor games and activities and has a great kitchen perfect for cooking for a large group.

Family Reunion and Birthday Celebration

The house was large with plenty of room.. We liked the fact the bedrooms were separated into different areas of the house. Gave plenty for all to spread out. The property was secluded and quiet. Beach was a short walk. Harwichport was a quaint town with good restaurants. Pebbles was adorable and loved the outdoor shower and bathtub.

Fabulous Vacation!

Our family just had its most memorable and fun-filled Cape Cod vacation ever at the gorgeous "Stepping Stones"! Three generations enjoyed the wide green lawns that were perfect for family ball games, the exceptionally well-appointed kitchen where gourmet "treats" were created, and the large indoor and outdoor dining areas that were perfect for family meals and impromptu get-togethers. We loved the nearby beaches and the wonderful view of Cape Cod's most picturesque harbor. There were so many spacious rooms - all comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is in such a great location for our favorite Cape acivities. This idyllic home and grounds exceeded our expectations in every way!

Great for our family get together

Tons of space and gorgeous yard. Had plenty of linens and living room is amzingly cozy and warm. An easy walk to the beach and eating breakfast in the front yard watching the sunrise over the harbor was breath taking. We walked for ice cream down the street each night and had the delicious melataways at Bonatts bakery every morning and had dinner once at Brax about 500 yards from the house. Cannot think of anything else you would need. The kitchen was huge and there is a back patio with a grill and a table for atleast 12 people...so much fun. Coming back next year.

Great long weekend on the Cape!

We took advantage of a nice long fall weekend on the Cape. 4 couples with 2 small children and we had plenty of space to play in and outside the house. The kitchen area is fantastic for accommodating big groups helping out with meals, etc. Really do not need to use your car much once you arrive, walking distance to most places (restaurants, shops, etc.). The property is great with tons of outdoor space to explore. Everything worked perfectly and was very self explanatory. Very friendly town. Great 9 hole course to play, beautiful beach 5 to 10 minute walk away. We all had a great time and would highly recommend this house. Thanks again for such a great weekend!

Stepping Stones

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.

Take Stepping Stones to a Perfect Wedding!

My daughter was just married last weekend at Wychmere Beach Club and we stayed at Stepping Stones. It was one of many great decisions we made for the wedding. The house is gorgeous--large, very unique, homey, beautifully finished with modern amenities, in an ideal location and perfect for large or extended families. We had another family stay with us totaling 14 adults but we could have easily fit more. It served as the home base for many of the events surrounding the extended weekend and it was just so convenient being literally down the street from the venue. Perfect spot for taking pictures of the bridal party the morning of the wedding and to meet up after to enjoy the celebration. The owner Marilynn was very attentive to our needs and made the house extremely welcoming for us. Was a perfect compliment to a perfect wedding, highly highly recommended.
