About this property
Historic, dog-friendly beach view house with fast WiFi, ocean view, & grill
Captain Shaw Norris House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Don't miss your chance to book this incredible historic beach view home, originally built in 1859, boasting modern amenities and a to-die-for rooftop deck. The three-story home in East Chop features ocean views and abundant private outdoor space. Choose between beachcombing on the sand or admiring the water from home.
Enjoy alfresco meals at the outdoor dining table atop the house. The open kitchen is ideal for cooking as it's completely updated with gorgeous white cabinets, recessed lighting, a farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless steel appliances. The formal dining area provides an all-season option for hosting group dinners. Although the home has undergone renovations for your comfort, it retained its charm by keeping fun elements like the blue hardwood floors.
As evening approaches, make sure you don't miss the stunning display of the sunset over the ocean. For nighttime ambience, gather around the firepit on the roof or the one on the enclosed patio.
