Miscellaneous information:

I live on the property and am available as needed.

Ask me about pricing for “in house” lunch/dinner or sightseeing adventures.

Airport pick-up/drop-offs are available.

This is a non-smoking property!

Parking for all - but please park smart. Be aware that I need to accomidate 4 cars....so don't hog more then you need...even if the driveway looks empty. :) Please tell me if you have more then one car coming....I can accomidate....but I like to know in advance.

This is a beautiful quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the beach and to the park. The park has a super nice playground, well maintained tennis and basket ball courts. The Cape Cod Canal bike path is about 1.3 miles down the street. You can access the path via a deadend road that parallels the ocean. So you don't have to worry about fast driving cars. The Army Corps. of Enginners maintains 2 parks on either end of the Canal. Both have food stands. There is fish pier on the Canal. However, mostly you will find tons of people fishing from the rocks along the edges. I have fishing poles...but don't know anything about fishing...accept how to cook fish..... I'm a great cook! and will take any leftovers! :)

Public transportation from Boston and Logan Airport. Enterprise Rental car is located 10 mins from the house. Car services are available to Logan or Providence Airport. The Cape Flyer train can be accessed in Buzzards Bay and Sandwich.

The Perfect Hideaway
Lauren was a wonderful host and her guest house was exactly as discribed and pictured. The perfect little get away spot! Our daughter had just graduated with her masters in Newport RI and we wanted a few more days before heading back to San Francisco. This was ideal. There was a beach at the end of the block and you could hear the ocean at night from our deck. Just so peaceful, the with the birds outside....we did absolutely nothing one day and it was exactly what we needed! Lauren provided suggstions for local restaurants, places to visit etc...and everything was spot on. She had also kindly stocked our fridge with berries, yougurt, juice and breakfast treats to get our morning going. Between the deck in the morning and the hot tub at night I really didn't need to move, it was a wonderful weekend! The next time we head east to visit our daughter we are going to try and work another visit in and our daughter is already planning a girls trip with friends back to the Cape. Thank you Lauren for your hospitality and kindness, we'll be back!

Amazing experience!
I booked a girls weekend getaway and it was absolutely amazing! Lauren (the best host!) made us feel so comfortable and welcome. It was everything we wanted, and MORE! I’ve never experienced a more comfortable and pleasant stay. Lauren provided whatever we needed during our stay and so much more. It was a minute walk to a beautiful beach! The place was SO clean, including the hot tub! We were able to relax and enjoy all that was offered. I would 1000% recommend this place to anyone looking to relax and feel at home. I can’t wait to book again. It truly made the difference to have such an amazing host who was friendly and easy to connect with at all times. The pictures and description don’t even compare to the experience! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to kick-back and enjoy a quiet, comfortable stay! It’s so close to the Sagamore bridge which provided quick access to the cape, but out of the chaos of the crowded vacation scene. It was such a positive experience! I will absolutely be booking again. Overall, the best experience I’ve had through any booking site. All around FANTASTIC!! Anyone would be lucky to book this for a laid back getaway!

Amazing and relaxing getaway
This was an absolutely incredible stay! We were looking for an escape from the city and we found that and so much more! The hot tub was amazing, the guest house wonderful, and Lauren was truly a delight. You were so close to the ocean you could hear the sound of the waves crashing as soon as you opened your car door on arrival! We left completely rejuvenated and hope to get back as soon as possible. Truly a must stay!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Freed

Host profile image
My name is Lauren. I've been a resident of Sagamore Beach for 28 years.
I'm a sound engineer by profession...so your music will sound great here.

Why they chose this property

My house is 1896. One of the first in Sagamore Beach. I've spent 22 years making my home and guest house the jewels that they are. I've been told that I have the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood. If you come in August you can pick apples and small tomatoes right from the guest house deck.

What makes this property unique

Your steps away from the beach....and EVERYTHING is provided to make your stay perfect. EVERYTHING in the guest house is MODERN, well-kept, and top-notch. No expense has been spared. My guest house is also 100% Handicap accessible. Just pack a bathing suit and some flip flops. Leave the rest to me!
