About the Property
Convenient to all Brewster offerings: Bay, Nickerson, Blueberry Pond, Bike Trail
We do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides in or out of the house. One of several reasons being that in the fall and winter, my wife, son and I also call this place home.
Our home has hardwood floors and lots of windows with a somewhat Mediterranean feel. It has WiFi throughout, basic cable, new 32” flat-screen TV, a DVD player, window AC unit, clothes washer / dryer, a well-equipped open kitchen with dishwasher, and even some board games and books from our own personal library.
You will be a half-mile walk or short bike ride away from the Ellis Landing bay beach. You will also be given an unrestricted pass to enjoy our private, sandy, freshwater association beach on Blueberry Pond (½ mile away), with an Old Town canoe at the ready for you on shore, to explore this bucolic pond, or to fish from.
A stone's throw from the back door is easy access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which links multiple towns together via a scenic bike / walk path. Picturesque Nickerson State Park is less than a mile down the bike path where you can discover the beautifully clean kettle ponds dotting the landscape.
*** THERE IS A NON-REFUNDABLE CLEANING FEE OF $125.00***

Brewster is known as the "Sea Captains Town" because in the 1800's many sea captains made Brewster their home. With nine bay-side beaches, the pristine Nickerson State Park, and its clean freshwater ponds, you can understand why such worldly travelers settled here in Brewster.
There is an endless variety of activities to choose from locally, including simply relaxing by the shore. I personally love to go to the bay and swim while the tide is rolling in over the hot sand flats. It is like taking a warm bath! The tide is quite dramatic here on the bay, raising and lowering 10 feet every six hours and moving about a third of a mile out and then back in again. There are only a few other places in the world where this phenomenon occurs: on some beaches in Nova Scotia and in Normandy, France. The combination of the warm water and the sand flats, with its many shallow puddles full of small sea life, make it a favorite spot for families with young children.
Another geographical anomaly you will find here are “Kettle Ponds.” These are ponds that were created by glacial chunks that melted at the the end of the last ice-age. As the massive ice cubes melted, they made deep indentations in the landscape, giving the resulting ponds a kettle-like shape. Cliff Pond in Nickerson State Park, for example, is over 100 feet deep. This depth allows these ponds to connect directly to the aquifer, giving them a clean, blue hue, and with their sandy beaches, make them wonderful places to swim.

Why the Owner Chose Brewster, MA, USA:

We live in a safe neighborhood and our driveway is off a private road.
