My family and closest friends stayed at Yiping's lovely house the other week and had a wonderful time! Yiping is a very attentive and kind host, and the week was just what we needed!
We were very excited to successfully catch lots of stripers off our own personal dock at the house- it was a most successful fishing trip! We also rented a boat and did some fishing in Nantucket Sound where we caught all sorts of other fish. Super-fun for the adults and the older kiddos!
The personal beach on the pond at the house was a perfect play area for our 2.5 year-old twins - they had a blast, and the waters were nice and calm for the young members of our group. We were all delighted to see a seal pop its head out of the pond waters! It was cute. For a moment I was nervous a shark could be about, but the waters are very shallow, and I imagine they can't get into the pond so easily.
It was easy to drive to Harwich and Chatham to walk around - places were not crowded, so it was easy to do a bit of shopping without coming too close to other people given the pandemic.
Advice for beach-goers - go after 4pm - you don't have to pay for parking then, and the beaches clear out if you're trying to avoid large gatherings. Be careful swimming in the waters - they're shark-infested!
It was a hot week and we were thankful for the new A/C at the house- we were comfortable throughout the stay. The house is on the older side and could use some updating, but this is minor. We had some issues with the cleaning crew not doing a stellar job, but Yiping was quick to rectify the situation and to make sure the cleaning crew had the information they needed to do a perfect job next time.
All in all, it was a fabulous stay! I'd recommend this property and the owner to other families looking for a nice retreat :)
