Cape Cod is a big place. Will you be near Hyannis or P-Town? The north shore (Bay side) or the south shore (Ocean)? My kids loved the ponds over the ocean when we went. How old are your kids?
We rented a house with another family (best friends) and did family things, baseball games, fishing, crafts when it rained. Some of the best summers we had and we did it 8 years in a row.
We also went whale watching and walking around P-town every year. It was part of the routine. One year the water was so choppy we all got sick.
There was a trampoline place on rt.6 ( don't know if it's still there) that was fun.
