Hello, I own week 26 at The Cove. Ask away.
In the room you will find a larger style dorm fridge, keurig machine, sink and toaster and all the utensils and plate, cups etc you need. What you can't find..ask for. There are gas grills and charcoal grills outside and all utensils can be borrowed from the sports center. I usually go up to GOL (brazillian grocery) to buy pre-marinated meats and sausages, rolls etc, and we eat a lot of BBQ for dinner during our week there in general. Sandwiches and leftovers for lunch, microwavable pizzas too. I also bring a pressure cooker and make (in 10- 35 minutes depending) things like lazy man's lasagna, tacos, stews, and shredded chicken sliders, but shhhhh you are not supposed to do that. I have kids, so that's how we typically roll with food. Unfortunately with Yarmouth they do not allow kitchens in these types of units. It's a town thing.
For the Keurig, we typically bring regular coffee, and I have the reusable pods we use from Dollar Tree. You can get 2 for a buck and whalla regular coffee. Not a big fans for the throwaways.
Brain Dump:
JFK Museum in Hyannis
Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory (free quick tour and free chips)
Hyannis itself is a very nice walkign town with lots of shops. Falmouth too!
Falmouth also has a small free aquarium you can walk through. My kids love it.
Ferries to both islands are available from Hyannis. Go see martha's Vineyard one day and Nantucket the next.
Chatham is a cute town. Go to the fish pier and see the seals.
Take a seal tour out to Monomoy from as close as Harwichport.
Take a duck tour in Hyannis. It's not as great as Boston, but fun.
See a show at the Cape Cod Melody Tent
Check out the national sea shore and it's beaches. All national sea shore beaches are free after 4PM when the guards go home.
You can get half price beach passes for yarmouth beaches at the front desk of the Cove. Get em early. They do have a limited amount.
Hang out at our new outdoor pool with full bar, food, and live music in the evenings.
My favorite little breakfast place (really better for take out) is Bagels and Beyond just a few blocks down. They make their own bagels and they are delicious and inexpensive.
Keltic Kitchen is fantastic! There is always a line though so expect it.
The inflatable park and new water park are a big draw just down the road in Yarmouth.
Heritage Musuem and Gardens in Sandwich is beautiful. Check it out.
Cape Cod Musuem of Natural History is also nice. Great mudflat tours outside during low tide.
A day in province town is always a blast and a long drive.
Check out the wellfleet drive-in schedule for a show or if they are having a flea market that day.
Absolutely go on a whale watch from Hyannis, Provincetown or Plymouth if you have never been. Great trip!!
There are other bay tours out of hyannis too.
Pirate ship tour is fun for the kids
Oh, the Wydah pirate museum is in yarmouth too.
Captain Parkers restaurant is a nice fish restaurant in Yarmouth.
Ooh and one of my favorites Sesuit Harbor Cafe.- simple place on the water outdoor watching the ships coming in and out of the harbor. This one is a real locals type place.
Buds Go Carts in Harwich Port is fun and an institution. Bud is mid 80s and has owned this place forever.
There is probably more, but I have to go. Enjoy!!!
