Cottage by the sea in Woods Hole with private beach - near Falmouth & ferry

South Cape Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tucked atop a rolling lawn that leads down to the private beach, our sweet cottage offers you the chance to enjoy the ocean in privacy and comfort. Watch the waves roll in from the Adirondack chairs.

When you’re ready to explore, our rental backs onto the 10-mile long Shining Sea Bikeway, which leads to some of Cape Cod’s most beloved destinations. Make the one-mile trek into the Woods Hole for locally sourced seafood at Quicks Hole Tavern followed by freshly brewed coffee and homemade pie at Pie in the Sky, or to catch the ferry into Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. Woods Hole features world-renown Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the Marine Biology Laboratory, the NOAA Fisheries Service, plus the US Coast Guard Station. To experience the country’s oldest marine aquarium, drive 7-minutes to the Woods Hole Science Aquarium. On your trip back, stop at Woods Hole Historical Museum for a diorama view of Woods Hole circa-1895 in an old captain’s home.

Follow a private dirt road to our family cottage, park in the driveway and take a stone walkway across the lawn to our deck, where you’ll find seating for four for morning coffee and drinks overlooking the ocean. An additional upstairs deck offers even more views.

Wander on down to have lunch at the picnic table or dip your toes in the water at the private beach. There’s an outdoor shower for washing off the sand once you’re ready to come back inside.

From the deck, enter into the main gathering space. To your left is a sun-dappled living area with seating for seven on a bench and sofas. Turn on the 32” TV for evening relaxation. To your right, a dining area seats guests with views of the ocean. Just beyond is a completely updated kitchen with hardwood floors, new cabinets, a farmer’s double sink, and full-size appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave.

Little cottage on the beach
From the minute we walked in the cottage we were struck with the quaintness and the cleanliness the cottage offered. This is truly a hidden gem, the decor and lay out are so cute. The cottage is small but she makes up for it in her own special personality. The cottage is extremely furnished from the kitchen to all the throw blankets. The picture window in the sun room was awesome for a few of the cold rainy days we experienced. The beach is nice but the weather was not favorable for much of it during our stay. We enjoyed the rooftop sitting covered in a blanket - due to the trees still having leaves we were unable to watch a full sun set. There are a lot of animals we enjoyed during our stay due to the woods across from us. We saw 2 different red fox, squirrels, chipmunks, lots of birds and a couple of rabbits. There we just 2 of us staying here the house could sleep 4 but I think unless 2 were kids the house would be tight. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend this cute cottage for a romantic get away. Another plus they let us check in early and offered a late check out which we didn’t need. I would give this a 10/10 😊

Nice little beach cottage with beautiful view!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was located in a fantastic spot between the Shining Sea Bikeway and a private beach. The views were so lovely, and the cottage was decorated very nicely. The space was mostly comfortable, although the single window AC unit had trouble keeping up on hot, humid days. It would have been nice to have a small dining table in the room with the picture window view of the ocean. The neighborhood was very quiet and well kept.

Love Small Olcottage!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A wonderful week. The cottage is small, with two connected bedrooms, so you'd want to be fairly friendly with anyone you rented with. But it's great for a small family, two twins in a room connected to a bedroom with a king. Nice walk-in shower and small dining area. Lovely small deck to eat at, and a rooftop patio accessible by an outside stairway. Also an outdoor shower. There's a path to the private beach, but it involves climbing over a small stone wall to access it,plenty of lawn space to sit on or play on, and it's a very short walk to a path to the bike path that runs into Woods Hole. Overall, a great place to spend a Cape Cod vacation!

This is a magical, charming cottage.
This was a wonderful escape for our family. We so enjoyed the setting of the Small Ol Cottage, looking out over the ocean at Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, hearing the ferry's sound their horns as the drove back and forth, watching the fishing boats dragging their nets after a day of fishing on the ocean, collecting sea glass on the beach. It was just magical. The cottage had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
