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.

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.

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!
