About this property

Family Friendly Traditional Salt Box w/ Central Air - Beach Pass Included

A bright and airy three bedroom cottage, Slimbridge includes a first floor bedroom with queen size bed and first floor bath with shower. The upstairs master has a pillow top king size bed with direct access to a full bath. The third bedroom, also upstairs, has twin beds. A fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, glass top stove/oven, microwave and plenty of dishes, pots and pans, cutlery and small appliances (toaster, blender, slow-cooker, griddle,etc). Smart TVs with streaming capability, High-speed Internet access and local and long distance phone are included. All windows have screens to allow the sea breezes to cool the house, but should the weather turn excessively warm, the house has central air conditioning. The living room has a flat screen TV and DVD player with plenty of comfy seating. The dining room table will easily seat 8 people for meals or a rousing game of cards or board game. There's even a reading nook for the bibliophile in the group! The walkout basement has a family room with a queen size pull out sofa bed and a twin bed with trundle.
When you arrive, your beds will have been made up with fresh linens. Towels and wash cloths, are also provided, so no need to bring them from home. You will also find a Welcome Book on the coffee table with instructions for use of everything from the TV to the washer and dryer. And another book we call the 'Book of Where' has suggestions for restaurants, ferries, places of worship and museums. Feel free to add brochures of places you would recommend while you are there.
Outside is a deck with table and chairs and a gas grill, which can be accessed by a ramp or steps. A nice yard and surrounding woods give children plenty of space to run and explore. We also have an outdoor shower to rinse off the salt and sand after a day at the beach. Speaking of the beach, we also provide sand toys, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and a beach parking pass!
We have recently installed an exterior security camera for your safety and our peace of mind.
Our family has been vacationing on The Cape for years. We love it here and look forward to giving you the opportunity to join in the fun we've had. It's a perfect spot for summer fun, but The Cape is also beautiful in the fall, winter and spring. This home would be a perfect spot for your family vacation or a get-away weekend.

Summer Fun

This is our 3rd year visit with family and it's perfect for our needs. You can easily travel from mid cape to lower and upper cape destinations and return to this quiet family friendly neighborhood. The beaches are awesome and the Tudors are great landlords. Another great vaca

Comfortable, lovely cape stay

From the first communication with the owners I knew this would be a wonderful stay and the property didn’t disappoint. The home was beautifully kept, clean, in a wonderful location and had the great bonus of the Beach pass! Would definitely come here again!

We found the house very comfortable and great for all three generations. Our days at the beach were remarkable and we always enjoy the great seafood restaurants offered nearby. A wonderful trip and Deb was always available for any questions.

Summer Vacation

We had a lovely time at the home, its on a quiet cul de sac, plenty of space on a large deck for using the outdoor bbq. The beach pass is helpful, we explored a variety of beaches!

Great visit to the Cape!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely home in Hyannis. The home was well suited for our family and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The only comment I’d make is the beach chairs are more like a camping chair. Great for the deck but not really for the beach. Overall, a great stay!

Lovely and comfortable with all the comforts of home.

We loved the homey feeling of Slimbridge. We felt like we were staying at a family's home. The outside deck was the perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee and breakfast. Every room was comfortable. Will come back again!

Cute Cape Cod house 1 mile from beach

Deb's house was perfect for our group of friends. It's conveniently located a 20-minute walk from the beach and a 15-minute walk from the grocery store. Deb was responsive before and throughout the trip to all of our questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Quiet, cozy spot close to town

Our family of five enjoyed our stay! Rental was clean on arrival, well furnished with plenty of kitchen appliances/utensils and supplies for cooking both simple and elaborate meals, and within two miles of a wide variety of restaurants. Just one mile to beach by bike or car, parking pass included. Owner just a quick call or text away, helped me find everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

8th Year Rental on Cape Cod

Each year for the past 8 years we have spent a week on the Cape with our oldest son, wife, and two grandkids.... 8 and 4 years old this summer. This has been the nicest home we have rented over these years, and it it positioned central to places we like visiting, and has access to nice "locals only" beaches. We highly recommend the property. It was everything as advertised!

Kansas to the coast

We loved our time with our family in this wonderful home. It is small enough to feel like home and large enough that the rest of the family could find peace from my young children when needed! We enjoyed visiting the attractions and were thankful for suggestions in the book. We loved the ice cream shop and the church we visited, and my children's first visit to the ocean. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Best place we’ve Stayed on the Cape

This home was more than a rental. The house was warm and inviting and the owners were welcoming and helpful. They provided everything a family could need from kids toys to beach chairs and umbrellas. The finished basement was a treat for the kids, and gave the adults a few moments of quiet. The beach pass was a bonus. My only hesitation is that everyone will want to stay here and we won’t be able to go back.

Summer Adventure

We rent every summer on Cape Cod and this is our 2nd year at the Tudor property. It's in a lovely quiet neighborhood and also close to everything, We bike ride to the beach or drive as we have access to the beach pass. Deb has been very helpful with any needs. Our grandchildren love the week and the house is very kid friendly. Thank you Tudor's for lending your home.

Lovely House

The house was very nice. It was clean and had everything we needed for a week away from home. It is spacious and fit 6 of us very nicely with room to spare. The deck has ample space, and we used the grill a few times. Also enjoyed the outdoor shower. Having the beach pass was a huge plus and it was helpful to have beach chairs too. The location of the house is very good. Close to downtown and Craigville and Covell Beach. We have stayed in several houses on the Cape over the years and this was the best one. I spoke with Deb via phone and text a few times and she was lovely. You can tell they care about their house. If we come back to Hyannis next year, we will definitely go back.

Best rental yet!

My family and I stayed at this rental the summer of 2024. It was two adults, three kids, and two grandparents. The place was very homey, clean, and well stocked. Not only was there all the spices, cooking items, extra towels, blankets, and toilet paper, but there was also a number of bag chairs, beach toys, a cooler, and beach umbrellas to use. The outside area was beautiful and there was plenty of space inside and out for all of us to be comfortable. There was at least 12 beaches within 15 minutes of the property and at least two within 5 mins. The town had lots of little shops to explore and great food. The owners was friendly and great communicators. They went above and beyond to let us know where anything was in the house as well as fun places to go in the area for families. We will definitely be back!

Warm and welcoming

We have stayed at the Slimbridge cottage for two vacations in a row and we couldn't be more pleased. The layout of the house is great and has plenty of room for our family of six to stay comfortably. The kitchen is well equipped. The beds are high end and cozy. There are plenty of fresh clean linens and we love that there is a washer and dryer on site. Debbie is helpful, concise and pleasant to work with. We look forward to staying at Slimbridge in the years to come.

Incredible Place of Rest & Relaxation

What an incredible treasured spot. The property is clean, well-maintained and everything we needed or desired was thought of/or provided. The owners were most helpful in answering questions and concerns and even provide a manual with useful information for tourists and for those who may need help in figuring out how to turn on the TV (perfect for me). The property is located in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood not far from the beach, walking paths, and among many other things, the Cape Cod Potato Chip factory (which you can tour for free on a rainy day). It was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to all. It is worth every penny and I look forward to staying there again.

Great Location, Beautiful Home, Wonderful Owners

Our family of 5 (3 small children) enjoyed a great week at Slimbridge in August, 2013. The house was very clean and is every bit as nice as advertised. Deb & Bill were great to deal with, made us feel very much at home and were easily accessible via cell for any questions that we had. The house is in a very quiet and private location, but very close to eveything in Hyannisport, Centreville and Osterville. Right down the street from groceries, gas, ice cream and beach. Would recommend to family, friends and review readers. Have fun.

Wonderful

My family and I have spent the past 4 days in this house. It is everything the owners said it is and more. The house is so beautiful and quaint and the 8 of us fit very comfortably. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The neighborhood is quiet but close to stores and the main attractions. We used the beach pass to go to Craigsville beach, about a mile from the house, which is one of the better beaches in the area. The house comes with beach umbrellas and chairs which was lovely as well. I definitely recommend going to Whimpys for a seafood dinner!! Its a 10 minute drive from the house and very inexpensive with great service. The owners were great and were so quick to respond with all of our questions.

Realxing Family Vacation

From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcome in this home. True to its description, it was everything we needed for our family vacation. It was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. If you have children, bring their bikes and helmets - the neighborhood was perfect for riding - very little traffic, and very safe. It was nice to go out exploring Cape Cod during the day, and then coming back to the relaxing comfort of our temporary "home". The Welcome Book was very helpful, and we found the "Book of Where" very useful. I would highly recommend the Hyannis Whale Watch out of Barnstable Harbor - its a short drive to the harbor and on our trip, we saw 5 Humpback Whales! (2 of which were a mother and baby :). The owner is extremely personable and helpful in every step of the rental process. If we plan other vacation to Cape Cod, I would definitely stay here again!

Even better than anticipated

Bill and Debbie were kind and easy to work with from our very first inquiry about their property. When we arrived, everything was very clean and the home was stocked with supplies that were very well thought out. Our kids were overjoyed when they saw a collection of their favorite books in each bedroom. The beds were extremely comfortable. We felt at home instantly and enjoyed a wonderful week. We were attending a week long Bible conference which we also take as our family vacation. The location was perfect to get everywhere in Hyannis, minutes from the mall, restaurants and best of all, minutes from the event we were attending each day. The neighborhood is a quiet cul de sac so it felt tucked away. We even went to the beach one day and were able to dip in the water with the kids even though it was mid April. We cannot wait to return to slimbridge cottage. We have traveled and stayed in many places, this was by far the best we have found. Thank you Bill and Debbie for everything! The Snedeker Family

Charming Cape Cod House with All the Amenities and Comfort of Home

This house is perfectly situated and wonderfully equipped for a great Cape Cod vacation. I have rented many places in the area and this has been the best rental by far. The owners are helpful, honest and gracious. They provide everything from linens and towels to toiletries and have a well-stocked kitchen. The home is spacious and comfortable and can accommodate many people, with private areas for children to play and adults to convene. But the best part is working with Deb Tudor. She goes to great lengths to ensure your comfort and convenience and bent over backward to help me. I had rented and paid for the home for two weeks and when my family was unable to stay the second week, Deb offered to help find another last-minute rental. The miracle is that she did! She truly cared about helping me in a bind and went to the time and trouble to help. I would rent this place again in a second. It was a delightful experience with really kind and caring homeowners.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Debbie Tudor

Host profile image
We both retired in 2011. Bill was a purchasing agent and Debbie an elementary teacher. We have 3 wonderful children and 6 delightful grands. You'll find the house is furnished with visitors of all ages in mind.

Why they chose this property

After years of vacationing with family on the Cape, our kids convinced us it was time to buy a place of our own. Our Realtor showed us several properties, but when we pulled up to this house, we knew it was 'the one.' Once you see it and spend some time here you'll know what we mean.

What makes this property unique

Our family loves that Slimbridge Cottage is minutes from the beach and the warm waters of Nantucket Sound. It's also not far from the Cape Cod Rail Trail, a 25 mile paved bike and walking path. We love taking visitors to Plimouth Plantation and the Mayflower which is about 45 minutes away. There are ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket right here in Hyannis or you can drive to Falmouth or Woods Hole if you want a shorter 'ocean voyage'. There are also whale watches and deep sea fishing boats that go out of Barnstable Harbor. Fresh seafood is abundant either from the local fish market or at any of the wonderful restaurants. If live theater is your thing, the Melody Tent is about a 5 minute drive. Are you a baseball fan? The Cape Cod Baseball League is one of the premiere summer leagues spotlighting the best collegiate talent. The Hyannis team plays about a 10 minute drive from our place! Probably one of the most amazing things about this place is the peace and quiet. It has woods on three sides with many beautiful birds and is on a cul de sac where our grandchildren can play and explore.
