Location: Wareham, South of Boston, Massachusetts, USA (1 Hour from Boston, Providence; on Buzzards Bay)
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible Bed(s), 4 Baths (Sleeps 11-15)
Wake up to an ocean view! Set on 3 acres of woodland with conservation land on two sides, this secluded, 5-bedroom, 4-bath house is a perfect getaway for multiple families, generations, or group retreats. House is split into an insulated "winter side" and open "summer side" with a door in between - great for two families or groups with young children. Each side has its own kitchen. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling ocean views in both kitchens and dining rooms plus three out of four bedrooms. Watch sailboats as you dine! Stroll five minutes on wooded path to our neighborhood association-owned beach for swimming, sunning or boating.
This is a great location for families that want to "get away from it all." Lounge on our brick patio while watching egrets swoop over Buzzard’s bay. Bike, walk or let kids play on private tree-lined roads, or swim and collect seashells at the beach. Shopping centers, restaurants and Water Wiz! park short hop on route 6, and an easy drive to Hyannis, Wood’s Hole and Cape Cod National Seashore.
This house includes a wood stove and working fireplace, plus cable and internet. "Bunk room" with two bunk beds great for kids, futons and sleep sofas for extra guests in both living rooms. All bathrooms full, including one with tub (great for when everyone comes back from the beach all sandy). Two baths and one kitchen newly renovated. Skylights, exposed beams, big windows and architecture make for a lovely, comfortable place to stay.
Give your kids (and yourself) a chance to relax, explore tidepools, boat, or swim on beautiful Buzzard's Bay, just 40 minutes from Boston. This house is not just a "rental property" - it is our family's vacation home. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Wonder Family Vacation

We had two related families (my hubby and his brother) with young teenagers/adults staying for two glorious weeks. This place was PERFECT for our summer vacation! Having two 'well-equiped' kitchens and a gas grill kept meal preparations a breeze. Yes, the bay beach was rocky, but we found watershoes to wear along with our own flip-flops. The water was 'full of character' for swimming given the tides and weather changing on a daily basis, one day smooth, the next choppy. Also, there was plenty of sand for sunbathing! We all had a great time with the kayaks and exploring the shorelines, plus our dogs were in heaven! We had everything we needed for gatherings to eat and play games, even an ice cream maker to enjoy 2 batches of homemade chocolate, and one of our own recipe invented by my brother-in-law called "Ginger Peach"...yummm! The surrounding rural woodsy areas made the place seem as our own, with no neighboring houses in sight. It was heavenly. There were only two drawbacks; 1) a 'squealing' noisy dryer, but there is a clothesline. I imagine future guests will either get to use a replacement dryer or it will be fixed, and 2) my hubby, brother-in-law, and son are all over 6'3" and some of the lower ceilings on the second floor required some 'head-ducking' on their part. They quickly learned the drill when ascending the stairs (mostly only to sleep and shower anyway), so I didn't hear many complaints. This place provided the perfect setting for many wonderful lifelong vacation memories and photos. Thanks, Wendy (and Terry) Candela

My family & I just spent a wonderful 6 days at this house. The house provided enough room for our family of 10. We ha 5 kids, ranging in age from 2yrs. - 11 yrs. They loved hiking through the woods to the beach. Although the beach is very rocky, they still spent hours running & playing! The only real problems we had with the house were lighting issues. Many of the lights appeared to be there for decoration only, as the on/off knobs had been removed. The kids would have liked it if there had been a working TV (with cable) in the bunk room. They had to settle for a TV with a DVD player. All in all, we were pleased with the house & would recommend it to friends & family!
Owner response:We have resolved the lighting issues and provide cable service to both TV's. Come enjoy this magnificent getaway on the bay.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers.

Great for family reunion. Amazing views. Easy walk to the beach. Only wish the beach was sandier. We had up to 14 people there. Most rooms were fine. Bunk room was a bit under par. Would recommend this house.
Recommended for:Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
