Cape Codder Rental

We have rented many homes in Beachwalk over the past twenty years. This was our first time staying in the Cape Codder and we loved it. This was one of our favorite Beachwalk houses. The house had everything you needed and more, and was in a great location. This house truly sleeps 10 very comfortably, perfect for a group of adults! The owner went out of her way to make our stay so enjoyable -- thank you!

Perfect in everyway!

This owner cares about her property & her guests! So many thoughtful amenities & refreshing not to have to worry about basics like paper towels, spices, bath products etc. This home has the perfect layout which provides plenty of bathroom but multiple levels for privacy. We had great home cooked meals & lots of time in the back porch & fire pit. Location close to both pool & beach makes taking advantage of all amenities of Beacheakk!

Beautiful Property with lots of charm!

We have stayed along Lake Michigan for a few years now. This has been our favorite property to date! The house is amazing with lots of open space and plenty of room for large families. The large porches and multiple gathering areas allow for you to spread out, or gather in the large kitchen/dining area for a family meal. We spent out nights relaxing on the screened in porch. Beachwalk has lots to offer as well! You are well within walking distance to the pool and recreation area and minutes from Lake Michigan. The owner was extremely prompt with notifications and if we had any questions. I would not hesitate to rent here again. Thank you for offering this wonderful stay!

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Cape Codder. Could not recommend this house more. It was beautiful, spacious, and stocked with everything we need. The community has so much to offer and the beach is so easy to walk to! Would 100% stay again!

Charming Cottage

Six girlfriends & I spent the weekend at the lovely Cape Codder. We've stayed in may VRBO rentals and this home was better appointed than most. It had absolutely everything we needed. If it was warm enough to spend a lot of time on the beach, we would really have appreciated the chairs, umbrellas, beach towels & cooler as well as 2 wagons provided to transport the gear to the beach, which is an easy 2 block stroll through the charming Beachwalk community. We're already talking about returning in the spring. Thank you Raychel!

Fun family place.

Lovely home. Best suited for 3 couples + 4+ children depending upon age. While smaller than some properties within this vacation home community, it’s privacy and peacefulness was exceptional. I particularly appreciated the small but well appointed rear screened in porch overlooking the pond. The Beachwalk development is especially ideal for families with children - where people, bikes and golf carts take precedence over cars on its shady streets, and the beach is an easy walk away. A larger community pool would be preferable. A ceiling fan in the living room area would be nice and a working exhaust fan over the range is needed.

Beautiful Home

Raychel’s home is beautifully appointed in a quiet location within the Beachwalk Resort Community just a short walk from the beach access. There was plenty of room for 10 adults and 10 mos old twins. We cooked in and had just about everything we needed for this foody group. Someone did bring their own zester😉 We all agreed we would rent the home again!

Couldn’t have been any better. Best spot on beachwalk. Period.

Super clean. So much space. Tucked away on shaded block, but super close to beach. Right on little pond and putting green. Perfect for family, couples’ getaway or really any group.

Great vacation home!

Our family of 10 stayed at the Cape Codder and it was a great house. We all fit comfortably and the house had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked, a lovely screened porch for sitting, a nice grill, plug ins for charging our electronics, and overall comfortable and beautifully furnished home.

Terrific Beach Weekend with Friends

We came with a group of 10 and it was exactly what we were looking for! Plenty of space, great location (easy 6-8 minute walk to the beach). One friend had a baby and the upstairs loft/“suite” was perfect for them. We hope to come back soon!

Cape Codder is a Winner.

Beachwalk is a great community for a family getaway with a pool and beach within a short walk. The Cape Codder was wonderful for our family, plenty of room, comfortable and the best stocked rental we've ever had. Raychel was very helpful and interested in ensuring everything was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Raychel Barfield

Host profile image
I'm originally from Cape Cod and moved to Boston the day I turned 18! Hence the names of my Beachwalk properties, The Cape Codder and The Bostonian. As mom, living downtown Chicago, I wanted to expose my daughter to a slower, simpler pace of life and Beachwalk has proven to be the perfect location. The beach is perfect and we love spending time in the off season as a family.

I fell in love with the different colored homes and options for fun. I work a lot and love both homes equally since they provide a sense of peace and nature.

Come visit, we would love to host you!

What makes this property unique

I bought the house after owning in Beachwalk for over 5 years. The homes location can't be beat, pond facing, close to beach and pool. incredible.... 3 floors of living space allows everyone to relax.
