One of the most beloved home architectural designs in the US is the Cape Cod style house. You may have seen hundreds of Cape Cod homes dotted around seaside towns of New England and Massachusetts. The style is a very simple one; a rectangular shaped house with gable pitched roof. Cape Cod homes rarely have decorative features or a porch as they were designed for practical reasons rather than appearance. These homes have low ceilings and a huge central chimney to keep the occupants warm during the cold winters of the north. Cape Cod homes are still popular to this day as simple and efficient starter homes for small families or veterans.

I have always loved the Cape Cod Shingle style cottage so when my husband and I went to Martha's Vineyard on vacation, I just couldn't help myself! I took pictures of all the adorable houses. Here are some of my favorites: I loved all the shingles and large front porches! This house was overlooking the ocean in the front and a beautiful pond in the back. Love that arch! This house was on the harbor in Edgartown, an old sea captain town. I think this is the summer house of John Gresham, at least that's what one of the locals told us! A little gingerbread style cottage. Love that front door color! Another old sea captain house in Edgartown. Ahhhh, I could live here! And my favorite of all! I can't wait to go back someday. It was the perfect relaxing vacation for someone as house-obsessed as I am! ~Jessica
