The coast is one of the best spots in the US to go whale watching.

With over 40 miles of protected coastlines, there is a sense of history thanks to the cute small towns that are dotted along, and the literary gems that were born here. The Massachusetts coastline is a great place to stop off, and is the home of Cape Cod. Massachusetts has an incredibly diverse horticulture scene, with cideries and wineries, as well as cranberry bogs and endless orchards, that makes their official Wine and Cheese Trail a worthy venture. It’s not just for history buffs, although a visit to Boston and the hallowed grounds of Cambridge should be high on every traveler’s list. Respondents to the poll supported regulations on health and safety inspections, trash disposal requirements and the number of people allowed to stay in a short-term rental.Massachusetts is full of stories written on aged stone buildings, along streets as old as time.

The proposed Town of Barnstable regulations, which would be the most stringent on Cape Cod, directly address the nuisance issues,” said Ryan Castle, CEO of CCIAOR. “Residents identified their main concerns surrounding short-term rentals: nuisances, such as overcrowding, trash and bad behavior.

The study further noted that 46% strongly favor short-term rentals and only 18 percent either oppose or strongly oppose them.ĬCIAOR conducted the poll to gauge what issues must be addressed by residents as the Barnstable Town Council, along with other towns in the area, consider regulations on the short-term rentals like Airbnb. The Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors has released a poll showing widespread support by residents of short-term or vacation rentals, according to a press release from the Cape Cod & Islands Association of Realtors (CCIAOR).Ī recent poll by American Strategies, conducted on behalf of CCIAOR, showed that 81% of residents support the short-term rentals.
