Perfect vacation
We loved the house and staying on Monomoy. The location was amazing and the house had everything we needed. Beautiful and private back yard as well. Eating dinner on the deck with a view each night was wonderful!

Amazing View
Always wanted to stay in Monomoy and this house was a dream come true. Wonderful view of the harbor from the top deck. Just sat and watched the ferries come and go. Great location. Not too far from town but enough for peace and quiet. Absolutely loved the house and location and will be back again and again.

What makes this property unique

Monomoy is the perfect location, near to Town, harbor, bike paths, markets and all island areas. The dead-end street is great for little kids on their bikes. The view is always interesting.
