I would highly recommend Popponesset Beach/New Seabury  area.  Popponesset is the older, original beach community; while New Seabury is a planned community that started about 50 years ago and now does own much of Popponesset.  If one can rent a home high end or low end near "The Spit" beach area or on the bay side, you will have beautiful calm salt water and private, natural beach area.  You can't drive out to the beach area so be prepared to bring something to transport kids and beach stuff unless one can bike.  One of our daughter's went with her family this summer for a week in a low end non AC house for a week and said it was just perfect in the view of their 4.5 and 2.5 year old kids.

- If you rent near the Community Center in Popponesset - also close to natural "Spit Beach area", you will have access for kids to:  daily crafts, soft ball, nice playground and weekly movie night and bi-weekly square dances the same as 30 years so when DD went with our family to visit my folks who had a place there.

- Also in the New Seabury area there is a center called the Market Place with seashell walkways, small Cape Cod like shops, pizza parlor, ice cream place and a central stage gathering area with nightly entertainment with kids and families enjoying the entertainment.  Full Lobsters on Wednesday nights are still a hit at The Raw Bar with outside eating picnic tables.  Starting about 4L30 p.m. and costing around $12.

- Kayaks can be rented at the New Seabury boat dock to explore the inland water channels.  They took their two kids in one.

- Bike and Walking trails are throughout a lot of the area.

- Rainy day pursuits might include the Children's Museum as mentioned, looking around shops at the larger Mashpee Commons shops area, or taking a drive over to Falmouth or Woods Hole which are 30 - 45 minutes away.

- Being on the Upper Cape a day trip up to Plymouth is very doable for a bit older children.  Also, if you get up early and get on Mid-Cape Highway, a drive to Chatham or Provincetown area is not bad.

- If a family rides bikes, you might bring and consider a day trip over to Martha's Vineyard as DD did this year.  Also there are nice biking paths between Harwich and Chatham that we have done.

What is nice about Cape Cod is that despite the crowds in summer, the essential charm of the area if still in tact.  We have rented through WeNeedAVacation.com directly from homeoners on Cape Cod three times in the past.
