If you are looking for an extraordinary 'find' for your vacation destination, you have found it. Timberframe Cottage is a delight, with its panoramic ocean views and timber frame design, vaulted 14-foot barnwood planked ceilings, heavy trusses, white wood walls, bright interesting rooms, and gracious amenities. It will exceed your expectations. Cloistered in its verdant setting with incomparable rustic-chic decor, BayShore Cottage might easily be the most handsome cottage available.
A convenient 10 miles north of Cape Cod in Manomet, 4 miles from historic downtown Plymouth, this beautiful cottage is an ideal base for oceanfront relaxation, easy access to sightseeing, whale-watching, deep sea fishing, antiquing, boutiquing, golf, touring historic homes (some of which date to the 1600s, like VRBO 343120, which is actually available to rent for vacation!) beachcombing, and swimming.
Website Being Updated Daily, Check Back: Vacationers searching the Web might overlook BayShore Cottage because of its location just north of Cape Cod. Those 'in the know' already realize that Cape Cod traffic has become horrendous at times -- an excellent reason to stay just a few miles away in the verdant coastal area with the same features but much lovelier terrain.
Entering through the pleasant breezeway, you'll see the breathtaking view sweeping from Plymouth Harbor to your left, to the Gurnet Lighthouse across the water, all the way to Provincetown as you turn east. Enjoy the spectacles of vivid sunsets over the water and at night, the twinkling lights of Plymouth, and the streak of light from the lighthouse across Plymouth Bay.
The breezeway has an overhead lighted cupola, which sheds a gentle light on your easygoing conversation or grilling while you watch the incredible sunsets over the water.
Website Being Updated Daily: Stepping inside the open-plan cottage, you'll enter the Great Room with its 14-foot stone fireplace, timber trusses, and barnwood-planked ceiling. Attractively decorated with slip-covered furniture from Crate and Barrel, the Great Room has wide pine floors with forged nails, antique cupboards with beveled-mirror doors (reflecting the ocean view.) The kitchen runs the length of the great room and has a 14-foot long mahogany topped island with two undermount sinks/Grohe faucets, dishwasher, and a convection oven allowing the cook (or master of canapes) to be a part of the family gathering while enjoying the wraparound view. The refrigerator has an icemaker with tasty ice because our water is so good here.
The fireplace is flanked with massive antique Ottoman doors, brought back from Cyprus, which divide the Great Room from the master bedroom. This area has a vaulted ceiling, raised sleeping alcove that juts out toward the ocean, has a queen-size four-poster British West Indies bed.
Here, posts and beams create a jewel box with ocean views all around. The high windows let you peer at starlight high above the Atlantic. The bedroom's French doors open onto the wraparound mahogany deck that connects around the lodge to the Great Room and kitchen.
This newly renovated cottage has two full baths - one upstairs with a mahogany countertop, vessel sink, Grohe faucet, marble shower with pebble floor, and skylights above the shower and toilet. The other bathroom has a shower, antique pedestal sink, stone walls, and separate toilet alcove and roomy walk in closet.
Three sides of the cottage have walls of French doors, which open to the roomy deck. The open floor plan can accommodate four in beds plus two+ little people in the bunk room with three distinctly separate sleeping areas.
The lower level suite of rooms includes a den/sleeping area, laundry, bathroom, and an additional 'bunk room' behind a sliding barn door.

We have just arrived home from our third trip to the Timberframe Cottage. This home has a sweeping view of the bay. It was so nice to wake up each morning to the sounds of the sea and the sights of lobster boats, birds, lighthouses, and wintry white tops. The combination of this home's water view, the fireplace warmth, and the interior decor made our Timberframe experience one of several that we will never forget. The owner made our stay very pleasurable.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My boyfriend and I hadn't taken a vacation in years. We finally made our plans and all i asked was somewhere peaceful with no itinerary. Robin's house fit the bill. The coziness of the living space-ie, fireplace, the restful and meditative view and the overall openness of the property that afforded such majestic and stunning views allowed us to truly relax, stop running and breathe. The house is clean, and beautifully decorated. Robin helped us through the week with helpful destination hints and enjoyable restaurants. We both successfully recharged our batteries and enjoyed not rushing for awhile. Having a lovely home to come back to just made our vacation that much better.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, pet owners, girls getaway.

An Amazing Week of Relaxation

This house was everything I'd hoped for. My husband & I craved relaxation and peace on the water, and got it! Despite the minor disruption caused by Hurricane Irene for a day (thanks for bringing over the flashlights and the bottle of wine), we had a fantastic week. Robin's home was gorgeous, tasteful, well appointed, clean and nicely maintained. All the comforts of home, in a beautiful location. In nearby Plymouth, we saw Plymouth Rock, Mayflower II & more than a few Humpback Whales (Capt. John) - Cafe Strega and the Lobster Pound were highlights. Thanks so much, Robin, for allowing us to bring Jake, our lab. A beloved member of our family, he goes everywhere with us, and we won't leave home without him.Recommended for: Age 55+, sightseeing, romantic getaway, pet owners, girls getaway.

(from an email sent after departure) "Hi Robin,...Well, we made it home late Sunday evening... a long road trip but well worth it for the three wonderful weeks we enjoyed in Manomet. Memories of our time at your charming and comfortable cottage will always warm our hearts. I think that we will be imagining the lighthouse flashing, a refreshing outdoor morning shower, and so many other simple but exquisite pleasures for days and nights to come. We are certainly going to miss what came to be expected routines at Timberframe Cottage. Thank you for sharing this special home with us.Sincerely, Marlene"Did you find this review helpful?

My wife and I, our two children 13 and 11 and our 'high maintenance fury friend' (endearing nickname for our family dog!) all stayed at your home on the cliff in Manomet. We cannot say enough about the quality of this home. The attention to detail was top notch. My wife was super impressed with everything....and that speaks volumes....you don't know my wife!! They had beautiful, soft linens on all the beds, a well stocked kitchen for the chef in you, stocked bathrooms with everything you can think of (great showers!) The ambiance was perfect! We went during April vacation, and in New England, expected maybe a little sunshine, which is exactly what we got, BUT nonetheless, we were able to spend a few days of uninterrupted, precious moments with our family. We played games (another thing they didn't miss!) flew kites, visited museums, shopped and ate! A wonderful vacation we'll treasure for a long time! Thank you!

FIVE STARS! A Stunning Oceanfront Cottage My adult daughter, her husband and I just returned from a week in paradise at this cottage. The cottage itself is charming! The four poster bedroom on the first floor has incredible water views. The downstairs bedroom is really more like a suite, and had lots of space and privacy. But it was the view that was so incredible. There were times that we didn't want to go anywhere since we had such a spectacular ocean view. There is an outside patio with an incredible commericial style grill along with dining table and chairs, and we ate lots of our meals there. Or if you prefer, there is a hammock and some adirondack lounge chairs on the lawn. The evening sunsets were magnificent. The house was stocked with all the gadgets and dishes you would need, and we were surprised to find a good assortment of paper and other supplies just to get started with our vacation. Tv and internet access were excellent. The owner was very attentive and provided lots of suggestions for activities and beaches. We highly recommend time in this wonderful cottage.

Year Purchased: 2002
About the owner: To me, creating the perfect waterfront getaway home is an art form. My lifelong career had been in designing publications, and later creating magazine illustrations (google 'robin jareaux') and painting expressionistic works on canvas. When I first decided to rent my weekend home so I could renovate an incredible but dilapidated cottage (which became, at great expense, 'Timberframe Cottage') I did not know this would become my work and my passion. Working in 2d was fun and rewarding, but my new ART is creating vacation homes that themselves are 'works of art.' My goal with my homes is to create a setting that exceeds your expectations, and in turn, your patronage lets me continue my art form a few more years. Please read the guest comments to see the generous and enthusiastic compliments we've received. Finding just the right furnishings, using classic Nantucket decor, using materials such as massive beams, barnwood ceilings, wide pine floors, RL sheets, antique cabinets, and creating gardens overflowing with roses and peonies, clematis, daylilies, gigantic buried stepping stones, blueberries, raspberries, foxgloves (can you tell it is June as I write this?) expanses of mahogany countertop, fine appliances, stone fireplaces, stained glass, with views that will take your breath away. Please look at 'all my rental listings' to see my portfolio: art in the form of unique and exceptional vacation getaways. It is a labor of love... for you.
Why the Owner Chose Manomet:
Incredible wraparound ocean views, a light house across the water, fireworks over the sea, utmost privacy, this is EDEN.
