Waterfront Retreat - Tucked in the Woods, Private Dock, Dog-Friendly, Accessible
A true nature escape, this wooden home has more of a mountain-house feel than a classic Cape Cod cottage. It’s surrounded by trees, where you may spot deer, hear birds, and occasionally see a spider or two, all while enjoying the calm and privacy of being immersed in nature.
ACCESSIBLE: The first floor features three bedrooms, including the primary with an attached accessible bathroom.
DOG-FRIENDLY: under 20 lbs; over 20 lbs considered case by case.
Just minutes from beaches, shops and restaurants, but worlds away from summer crowds and Cape Cod traffic. Ideal for families, large groups, boaters, and remote workers, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath retreat sleeps up to 8 comfortably (plus a bunk bed in the basement for children) and offers direct access to Buzzards Bay from your private dock.
Bring your own boat or rent one nearby to explore the coast by water (best suited for shallow-draft boats due to water depth) — then return home to grill on the deck, take in the water views through wall-to-wall windows, or unwind in the basement game room.
* Private dock with access to Buzzards Bay (24"-30" inches of water in the channel during low tide)
* Shaded by tall trees — cool and breezy in summer, plus portable AC
* 4 bedrooms + 3 full baths — ideal for families and groups
* Dedicated office space + strong WiFi — perfect for remote work
* Large dining table for group meals
* Game-ready basement with ping pong, board games & lounge area
* Outdoor grill on the expansive deck, outdoor table
What to Know The waterfront is tranquil and scenic, ideal for boating, paddling, and relaxing — not beach activities.
*No central AC*. Portable Air conditioning is provided for each room, though often unnecessary due to the natural shade and breezes.
You're close to local amenities — just minutes from shops and restaurants — while enjoying complete privacy and seclusion.

We had a wonderful stay with our friends for a family member’s wedding weekend. We loved having coffee on the dock, the wonderful views, & the serene location. We all said we’d love to come back!
Ann was a great host and we very much enjoyed our stay!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
very nice private and quiet location but the accommodation was somewhat tired and in need of a facelift. This is not conveyed in the online booking photos and we didn't appreciate soiled bed linen discovered on arrival.

Hi Peter, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful and private setting. We’re very sorry about the dirty linens you found on arrival. As soon as you let us know, our cleaning team came right over to replace them, but we understand this was an inconvenience at the start of your stay. We appreciate your honesty and will continue working to improve the experience for every guest.
We really enjoyed our quiet stay at this lovely, comfortable home. Secluded, with amazing water views and lots of space, a wonderful place to get away from it all.
Peaceful with a gorgeous view throughout the house
The entire property was so peaceful and secluded, yet close to stores, restaurants, and beaches. It was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Would definitely stay here again!!!
We stayed for a week with our adult children and their spouses. This property has gorgeous views. You feel secluded but are very close to restaurants, stores, etc.
This home is just perfect. We had our family here for the Holliday and everyone was able to spread out with their own room and bathroom. Gorgeous views, beautiful house, stocked with everything you need. Would love to stay here again.
This is a very comfortable house. It was so relaxing and peaceful sitting in the living room watching the water. We totally enjoyed our days here. The kitchen is very well stocked. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions. A nice vacation rental.
