About this property

Steps to the Ocean! Perfect Location!!!

You come to the Cape for the beach … so why not stay just steps away? This charming two bedroom one bath cottage on a quiet cul-de-sac is just steps from Keyes Memorial Beach. It sleeps up to 6 on 1 king, 2 twins and 1 queen pull-out sleeper sofa. The perfect location for enjoying the beach, shopping, dining, or simply getting some rest and relaxation.

Upon entry, the first thing you'll notice is the cathedral ceiling which opens up the bright airy living space where we have carried the feel if the Cape into and throughout the cottage. The Jack & Jill bathroom can be accessed from either bedroom and towels and linens are provided.

The fully equipped kitchen makes home meal preparation practical, efficient, and affordable. Whether grabbing a quick bowl of cereal for breakfast at the kitchen table, or enjoying steaks grilled to perfection on your own private patio, this cottage will be your vacation home away from home. For those who prefer fine dining, the restaurants and activities of historic downtown Hyannis are just a mile away.

Centrally situated on Cape Cod it is ideal for day trips anywhere on the Cape all the way up to Provincetown. The Ferries to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket are also close by.

This vacation home has many extras from an in-ground heated pool (seasonal), to WiFi to help you stay connected, and a dedicated parking space.

We’re sure you will love your time here and want to return year after year!

This small but spacious cottage was stocked with everything we needed…a complete kitchen, nice linens, very helpful instructions for using the tv (much appreciated!). Everything was spotless! Great location to the beach, city park with picnic area, town within walking distance. This was a quiet getaway for winter - no crowds! Thank you, Steve

Our January stay was sensational to finally see Cape Cod and Nantucket. To that end we could have used plowing/shoveling in advance of our arrival along with ice melt because the walkway was dangerously iced over. The parking lot was plowed so we were all set not long after arrival. Comfortable amenities and we had all we needed for a weekend to walk the beach and explore downtown Hyannis and walk to the Ferry terminal.

My Wife and I came here on our honeymoon trip, and just WOW. This place was so close to everything and the entire process and communication with Stephen was the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

The house was just the right size for our small family. A short walk to the beach was perfect for young kids. Close enough to main Street that it was easy to go out for dinners. Stephen was easy to work with and communicated great! Overall a great stay!

This was our second summer staying at Steven’s cottage. Everything was perfect, from check in process to proximity to beach, amenities (grill, pool, comfortable beds and communal space). It is a great location and the beach is lovely, not too crowded and the great for walking. We’re already booked for 2026!

Picture perfect in every way! The TLC this little gem receives is evident upon entry - fresh and clean, the tastefully chosen seaside decor lifts the spirit and makes you feel happy to call 4B “home” while in Hyannis. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom (although narrow) was easy to share between 3 adults as it had well placed hooks, towel racks, and nice cabinet and counter space. The location was IT! We stayed for Thanksgiving weekend and were blessed with gorgeous weather - sunny and cool - making walking on the beach a must! The beauty of the area is breathtaking and we are so grateful to have these images in our memory banks for life. Thank you to our host, Steve, who truly has his guests best interest at heart. Before, during, and afterwards, Steve was a thoughtful and direct communicator who made us feel welcome and appreciated. We are so happy to have found you on VRBO!
Stunning!!

Great week on the Cape!

This was our third time staying at Steve’s cottage. It has been wonderful each time. The property is maintained well and very clean. Perfect location to walk to the beach, use the community pool and shop/dine on Main Street Hyannis. Steve is very prompt to respond and checks in with us to make sure our stay is perfect. We highly recommend this property and will be back in the future!

Breakwater beach house

We loved the location, especially right by the beach. The house eas a bit small for 3 adults and a toddler, but we made it work. The owner responded immediately when we needed towels and recmmendations. Its great for a couple and 2 children.

Cape Cod adventure

My friend and I stayed at Breakwaters 4B for 3 nights. The location is perfect. Close to the water and good for travels up and down the cape. The cottage was very clean and provided everything we needed. Stephen was so helpful and thoughtful throughout the planning and during our stay.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

I first stayed at The Breakwaters more than 30 years and loved it so much that I have stayed many times since. So much so, that I was finally able to purchase this cottage in December of 2018.

Since purchasing this property I have repainted the interior, renovated the kitchen and bathroom, restored the original wood floors in the living room and bedrooms, purchased new furniture throughout, and resided the exterior.

What makes this property unique

Perfect vacation location! Just steps to Sea Street Beach and only a mile from historic Main Street Hyannis.
