About this property

Steps to the Ocean! Perfect Location!!!

You come to the Cape for the beach … so why not stay just steps away? This charming two bedroom one bath cottage on a quiet cul-de-sac is just steps from Keyes Memorial Beach. It sleeps up to 6 on 1 king, 2 twins and 1 queen pull-out sleeper sofa. The perfect location for enjoying the beach, shopping, dining, or simply getting some rest and relaxation.

Upon entry, the first thing you'll notice is the cathedral ceiling which opens up the bright airy living space where we have carried the feel if the Cape into and throughout the cottage. The Jack & Jill bathroom can be accessed from either bedroom and towels and linens are provided.

The fully equipped kitchen makes home meal preparation practical, efficient, and affordable. Whether grabbing a quick bowl of cereal for breakfast at the kitchen table, or enjoying steaks grilled to perfection on your own private patio, this cottage will be your vacation home away from home. For those who prefer fine dining, the restaurants and activities of historic downtown Hyannis are just a mile away.

Centrally situated on Cape Cod it is ideal for day trips anywhere on the Cape all the way up to Provincetown. The Ferries to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket are also close by.

This vacation home has many extras from an in-ground heated pool (seasonal), to WiFi to help you stay connected, and a dedicated parking space.

We’re sure you will love your time here and want to return year after year!

This was our second summer staying at Steven’s cottage. Everything was perfect, from check in process to proximity to beach, amenities (grill, pool, comfortable beds and communal space). It is a great location and the beach is lovely, not too crowded and the great for walking. We’re already booked for 2026!

Breakwater beach house

We loved the location, especially right by the beach. The house eas a bit small for 3 adults and a toddler, but we made it work. The owner responded immediately when we needed towels and recmmendations. Its great for a couple and 2 children.

Exceptional stay!

We had a wonderful week in the perfect property, the cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The location made it very easy to walk to the high street or down to the beach. Steven was very helpful giving some suggestions of places to visit. We would love to go back again.

Perfect off season getaway

I spent the weekend in this adorable cottage after waking up in 5 different states 5 days in a row for a work trip. The location is perfect and the sunrise and sunsets from the beach were some of the most vibrant and colorful I have ever seen. I’m sure this is an amazing place to vacation in the summer but the quiet and solitude of November was its own treasure. And I was able to visit Walden Pond on my way to Boston Airport—-just a quick 30 minute detour and well worth the visit.

Amazing!

The property was exactly as advertised and even came with amenities like coffee and kitchen basics. It was close to the water and everything was clean and in perfect condition when we arrived. The check in process was seamless and it was only a short walk to the little town that had lots of cute shops and restaurants. Definitely would stay again.

Our Cape Cod Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Steve's property. The location is wonderful and there are so many things to do on The Cape! There were fairly minor issues that did not detract from the overall stay. And when Steve was contacted he made great efforts to fix the issue(s).

Cottage stay

Off season long w/e rental. Place was spotlessly clean, bed very comfortable and nice that linens and towels provided ( saves packing). Everything you need is there and nice ocean view from the patio. Beach is so close you can hear the waves at high tide. Great shell picking. Fantastic restaurants and shops w/in walking distance. Will definitely return again

Super Cozy

The cottage was immaculate. Perfect for our needs. Including location… proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants. Great starting point for everything on the Cape as well as being not that far from Boston, Salem, Worcester and Fall River, everything we wanted to do…. Did I mention immaculate; super clean and fresh smelling. We above all appreciated the communication from the property manager/host. We have stayed with VRBO lots of times and this was the Best

Why they chose this property

I first stayed at The Breakwaters more than 30 years and loved it so much that I have stayed many times since. So much so, that I was finally able to purchase this cottage in December of 2018.

Since purchasing this property I have repainted the interior, renovated the kitchen and bathroom, restored the original wood floors in the living room and bedrooms, purchased new furniture throughout, and resided the exterior.

What makes this property unique

Perfect vacation location! Just steps to Sea Street Beach and only a mile from historic Main Street Hyannis.
