Enjoy the Cape Cod National Seashore by renting Cape Cod beach rentals.  Cape Cod beach rental guests enjoy nature trails and bike trails on 40 miles of undeveloped natural shoreline.  Vacation Home Rentals has plenty of amazing Cape Cod beach rentals listed.  Many of these Cape Cod vacation rentals offer beach front access and are large enough to house a family reunion or a wedding party. 

Vacation Home Rentals has listings for Cape Cod waterfront rentals offering both freshwater and saltwater waterfront.  Go golfing and biking on the Cape.  Massachusetts vacation rental guests with young children often reserve Cape Cod vacation home rentals on the northern side of Cape Cod because of the gentler water there.

Other Activities in Massachusetts

Visitors who enjoy experiencing interpretive history will love Old Sturbridge Village.  Ideally, look into Massachusetts vacation rentals in the western part of Massachusetts.  Guests staying in Massachusetts vacation rentals in Boston, however, can make the day trip out to Old Sturbridge Village.

Boston Museum of Fine Arts is the cause for many Massachusetts rental vacations.  If you love the arts, look at one of our Massachusetts vacation rentals in the Fenway or Brookline neighborhoods of Boston.

Food and Dining in Massachusetts

Guests enjoying their Massachusetts rental vacations in the fall can experience Massachusetts’s cranberry harvest (Massachusetts produces about 1/3 of the nation’s cranberries).  Most guests on their Massachusetts rental vacations find the hard red berries too tart and hard to eat straight; popular recipes include sauces and chutneys.  Dried sweetened cranberries are added to everything from muffins to salads.

Boston baked beans and brown bread (baked in a large tin) are two other popular dishes that guests in Massachusetts vacation rentals venture out to enjoy.  Guests in the middle of their Massachusetts rental vacations cannot come all the way to Massachusetts and not try Boston Crème Pie!  Boston Crème Pie isn’t a pie at all but a yellow cake filled with vanilla custard and glazed with chocolate.

  • St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Boston (March).
  • Annual cranberry harvest and take part in harvest festivals around the state (late September through October).
