About this property

'The Whales Tail' ~ Dogs Welcome

The house sits on a quiet lane in West Yarmouth, (may come up as S. Yarmouth as it won't let me change) just steps from The Whales Tail of Swan Pond and about 2.2 miles from one of Yarmouth's largest beach on Nantucket Sound. Seagull Beach has lifeguards, a snack bar & plenty of room. Parker's River Beach is equally close, and Smuggler's Beach at Bass River is just down the road.

Bring your dog. There is no pet fee. The fully fenced backyard gives them room to run while you relax on the new deck. End the day around the fire pit, then rinse everyone off in the outdoor shower before you come inside.

The house is comfortable and well set up for a Cape week. Full kitchen with stainless appliances, washer and dryer in unit, and two full baths. House ia cooled by window AC units. Living areas open to the new deck through a slider.

Swan Pond is at the end of the street, so bring a kayak or canoe and have it right there all week.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great family friendly house for our family of 5 with our dog for the week. It was clear and comfortable for all 5 of us and in a convenient location. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Hoping for a second TV in one of the bedrooms for evenings when everyone doesn't want to watch the same thing and an enclosed outdoor shower for after the beach next time.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2026

About the host

Hosted by Margaret

Host profile image
I'm a year-round Cape Cod resident and have been a local real estate broker here for over 20 years, so this island has been home for a long time. I love being a host because it gives me a chance to share the same spot I get to enjoy every day with people who are here to make memories of their own. Whether it's a family reunion, a quiet week away, or a group of friends looking to unwind, I want your stay to feel easy from the moment you arrive. I'm happy to answer questions and point you toward my favorite local spots, but I also believe in giving guests their privacy, so you won't hear from me unless you need something.

Why they chose this property

West Yarmouth sits right in the heart of the mid-Cape, which means you're never far from anything. Swan Pond is just down the road, a peaceful spot for kayaking or canoeing, and Nantucket Sound beaches like Seagull, Englewood, and Parker's River are only a short drive away. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, but you're minutes from restaurants, shopping, and all the classic Cape Cod things to do, mini golf, ice cream stands, and boat cruises. It's the kind of area where you can slow down and settle in, while still having easy access to everything the Cape has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The Whale's Tail is built for a family or group to really spread out and relax. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to have their own corner, plus an eat-in kitchen for gathering over meals. The spacious living room with a Smart TV is perfect for game nights, puzzles, or winding down after a day at the beach. Outside, the fenced-in yard and deck give you room to enjoy the fresh Cape Cod air, and the outdoor shower is a nice touch for rinsing off sand before heading inside. It's a home designed for making memories, whether that's a lazy morning on the deck or an evening around the table.
