About this property

Old school family fun on the lake! Sleeps 10, lake access, large deck with BBQ

Chill at White Island Pond. Enjoy everything you like about the Cape without having to cross the bridge, and everything you like about the beach without the sharks! Our unfancy, comfortable family home is steps from a sandy lake beach, has a big deck and BBQ, a fire pit, plenty of room for your family, air conditioned bedrooms, kayak and paddle board. It's an older house with a modern kitchen, 4 BR including a room with 2 twin beds for the kids.
You will bring your own linens and towels. We have blankets, pillows, & comforters.
Downstairs is the living room with picture windows that look out on the lake. There's also a small TV/game room, a kitchen with oven/stove/microwave/coffeemaker/fridge and dining table, a half bathroom, and a bedroom that can sleep 4 (twin over full with trundle.) The upstairs features 3 more bedrooms (2 queens, 1 bunk bed) with A/C and a full bathroom with tub and shower.
The house is right across the road from the private White Island Pond Association beach and the Association building. Often there is fun stuff happening on weekends, such as cornhole or a pig roast, so feel free to wander over and introduce yourself. DO expect to be asked to show your beach tags - our beach is so nice that lots of people like to use it, but it's private and beach tags are required (you will definitely be asked!) Also, it's super important to follow all Association rules, which are listed in the guest book and are also posted, particularly no dogs or food/drink on the beach.
You will be a very short drive from Dunkin Donuts (of course) and a slightly longer drive from Onset Beach, where you can swim in the ocean and find all the beach town things like ice cream and pizza. If you want to head to the Cape you just need to cross the bridge - we're about 30 minutes from Falmouth and a bit less to Sandwich or Woods Hole (where you can get a ferry to Martha's Vineyard if you want). There's also mini golf, Water Wizz waterpark, lobster restaurants, etc all a short drive. If you need something at Target or the grocery store we usually go to the one on Cranberry Highway, 15 minutes drive.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Getaway by the lake

My family and our 2 dogs had a wonderful week staying at this house right on the lake. The house is right across from the beach. We had an amazing view of the lake and it was an easy walk across the street to enjoy the beach and go swimming. The host was very responsive and gave us tips to make our vacation memorable. The location was great because in addition to the closeness to the lake we were also not too far of drive to Cape Cod and one day we took a ferry over to Martha's Vineyard. Plenty to see and do.

This location is amazing and the owners are amazing. It is right on the lake and our children loved the location and makkng friends with all the neighbours as everyone was very welcoming. The home is very much cottage like and that is what we expected. The pictures of the property can actually be much better than what are posted. Unfortunately we did kill a few cockroaches in the kitchen and saw a rat outside on the deck. So we did have to keep all of our food locked up in our own coolers that we brought to ensure we kept it food out of sight and reach of these insects and rodents. We also ensured we thoroughly cleaned after every meal to not leave any crumbs and constantly threw out garbage to keep it out of the house. Although this issue was not ideal we made it work because the location was unbeatable. The owners were also very accomodating and very responsive. They were aware of the issue and have been actively try to resolve it.Other than the kitchen area, the rooms were ok. Beds were comfy enough for the week we stayed. Things we would recommend to owners:Provide beach chairs to take to the lakeProvide water toys for the lake (paddle boats, sand toys, kayak, etc)Provide more storage for clothing - dressers were small and old and closets did not have hangers. Assess cleaners work more frequently. It seemed like we cleaned better everyday compared to the way it was handed to us on our arrival.Overall, we loved this location so much that we likely would return

Somewhat disappointing

While the place was accommodating, it definitely could use some upgrading- inside and out. The kitchen wasn't very well stocked- plenty of plates & bowls, cups, silverware but only 2 steak knives, 1 small and one medium sized pot and frying pans, and 1 small food strainer. The mattresses all seemed relatively new, and were comfortable.
