2014 Cape Cod October Events
October.
Lazy hot days of summer now turn to the cool nights of Autumn. The air begins to cool, brisk mornings turn to cool days and nights. Leaves begin to change their colors, russets, golds and crimsons are painted with a slow hand among the greens of the trees. Each day brings more brilliant hues against the background of the signature azure Cape Cod sky.
October brings more than the colors of the trees, the fall harvest has started. Gourds, apples, squash, onions, garlic, fragrant hays, cranberries and of course the pumpkins. Cranberry, the official berry of Cape Cod. Pumpkin, the official flavor of October. With a variable plethora of culinary delights to take your pick from be it coffee, donuts, muffins, pie, cake, cheesecake, cookies, tarts, ice cream, dips, breads and soups!
Events abound all across the Cape as well. Each with their own unique color and flair. Take a look to see what you can do while you are here. >> Fall Cape Cod Events <<

Top 10 Items to Take on Summer Vacation
With the Polar Vortex, snow and cold, why not take a moment to look ahead to something that is worth looking forward to. Your summer vacation on Cape Cod! The warm sun, late night ice cream runs and the sound of the ocean’s crisp waves running up on the soft sandy beaches. Anytime is a good time to start planning. Are you ready? If not here is a list of things that you may want to bring with you.
10. Activities and snacks for the trip. Even if it’s just a quick jaunt from Boston down to the Cape, the traffic can be wide range of paces from a fast run over the bridges to a seemingly endless backup. It pays to plan ahead with some extra drinks, water and snacks to appease your fellow travelers.
9. Reservation directions and instructions. You know what house you are renting for your Cape Cod Summer Rental. You’ve looked them all over and found the Perfect one just right for the summer vacation. Did you remember the directions to the Hopper Real Estate ~ Outer Cape Rental? How about instructions with your Reservation Confirmation? Put those in a safe place, they’re like Printed Gold!
8. Linens and bed things. Most of the homes do not have linens for you to use. You can rent them from a trusted service nearby or you can bring your own. These plans should be set before you start out. If you have any questions on this, please call us! We’ll be happy to answer any of your questions.
7. Sunscreen and insect repellent. Lets nip those two fun spoilers in the bud. Sunscreen is a must have. You love your skin but so does the sun. If you go without the sunscreen, you might not love your skin very much. To top that off, mosquitoes and other bugs love you. As nice a sentiment that is, it’s not normally a returned feeling. Make sure to keep the insect repellent handy for those times.
6. Camera / Video Camera with charger and batteries. Get ready to have a great time! Part of that is saving the memories for looking back at, like times like this when the snow has piled up and the wind is bone chilling cold. How much fun is it to look back at those great photos and videos, just the memory is enough to warm you from the inside out. That’s something we all need right now.
5. Cell Phone and charger. Beaches do not have phones. The Cape Cod Bike Trail does not have a phone. Not all the homes have phones, so make sure to bring your own.
4. Individual Toiletries Kits. What you might need, may not be what another needs. Make it a personal touch and pack a toiletry bag for each person.
3. Cool, comfortable clothing and foot wear. It’s time to relax, save the suits and business clothes for home. It’s time for the “how to keep” cool and “what ever I feel most comfortable” in wear. Flip-flops are not just a fashion statement, they are the “I’m on vacation!” statement. However, please remember that time honored tradition : “No shirt, No Shoes, No Service.”
2. Beach wear, swimsuit and hat. You have your clothes to wear while not on the beach, but do you really need them? It’s Summer! Grab a hat and sunglasses to keep the sun out of your eyes, some beach towels and your swim suit.
1. Sense of Humor. Not all things go as planned. Remember to make the most of your time, breathe, relax, you’re on vacation! You’re at your Cape Cod Home.
Summer Vacation is calling, start planning yours!

Red sky at night, sailor’s delight…
The sun’s rays break though the dense air as it dips below the horizon. In it’s wake the brilliant reds splash against the azure of the Cape Cod sky. There are times when you have to stop and just look at the sky’s paintings.
