Rider compound was the perfect place for our family vacation. Water view was terrific sun rise was tremendous. Spacious home, lovely deck and close to everything we wanted. Deb was quick to answer a couple of questions. Would recommend highly to anyone looking for a relaxing spot.

This house is in a great neighborhood and right on the shore with easy access down some stairs to the beach. We enjoyed ourselves, especially because the house is a family home that is very well-supplied with kitchen equipment and beach gear. Thank you Deb!

Debbie was very responsive and helpful. The property, location, and supplies were perfect for our family and two young kids (2 and 4). It was great to have access to everything we needed for beach and bay play - kayaks, life jackets, chairs, sand toys, sun umbrellas, etc.! The only heads up for families with little ones is that the bathrooms have shower stalls only, not bath tubs. However, we had the bay and the little ones learned how to shower! The basement level felt a bit damp at times, likely due to the very high amounts of rain this summer, but there were dehumidifiers there to help. It was very helpful to have laundry on site, too.

The location was everything. Right on the beach by a beautiful bay. We loved using the kayaks provided and swimming in the bay. The view was outstanding; the house very comfortable; the amenities all provided; very close to excellent restaurants and easy to get onto Cape Cod. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing and quiet get-away.

Family time at Buttermilk Bay
What a lovely home and relaxing peaceful neighborhood. We loved making memories on this two week vacation. Beds were comfy. The showers were a little small for some of us. There was a little inconvenience with the different floors of the home and having to go outside to get to one floor to another, especially on the rainy days. We were there for the Fourth of July and what an amazing firework display right in our backyard!!! And use of the kayaks was a plus. The neighbors made us feel “wicked” welcomed. Working with Debbie to plan this vacation was seamless. Jenn

Excellent location and amenities
We had a really nice time at Debbie's house right on the bay. There were six of us in total including our two kids (9 & 5) and my wife's parents. We enjoyed using the kayaks and sailboat as well as doing lots of swimming while we were there. There was plenty of space to enjoy meals with all six of us on the large back deck or in the upstairs area when we preferred to eat in the A/C. The kitchen was very well equipped as we cooked many meals in. The whole house was well cleaned and the check in process was simple.

Relaxing Getaway!
Perfect spot for our family. Owner was very easy to work with and property was as described. Our young children (ages 6, 5 and 3) loved playing on the beach and in the shallow, calm water all week. If you wanted to venture out there is plenty in the area although we spent most of our time hanging out at the beach. The adults in the family enjoyed the kayaks and the fire pit at night. Overall a perfectly relaxing location!

We had a wonderful vacation and loved the property. The beach was so close and great for our daughter to swim. Deb was very responsive throughout the whole process. We hope to return here again!
