Onset is a charming coastal town known as the "Gateway to Cape Cod" as it is the last town before crossing the bridge to the Cape. Centrally located between Boston and Rhode Island and only 20 minutes to historic Plymouth, it a convenient location from which to explore New England. 6-minute drive to Mass Maritime Academy. Less than 15–20-minute drive to upper Cape Cod: Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich. And just over 30 minutes to Mid-Cape towns such as Hyannis, Dennis, and Yarmouth. (Times do not factor in traffic conditions)

For families members having trouble with stairs, there is one bedroom and full bath on the first floor as well as a sleeper sofa in living room. 2 Bedrooms and another bathroom on 2nd floor.

Very short walk to Onset Village (family-owned restaurants and year-round festivals) and pristine Onset Beach. Open floor plan on main floor perfect for vacations, Cape Cod wedding guests, and out of town family. There is a small neighborhood beach 4 houses down that is perfect for families with young children. Then a larger beach another 4 houses down. Onset is on Buzzard's Bay, so the water here is warmer and calmer than typical ocean tides and has soft sandy beaches (less rocks but great shell collecting). Walk to kayak and boat rentals, Cape Cod Canal Cruises, and the Water Wizz seasonal water park is only a 5-minute drive.

We have received many compliments on the coastal theme, providing a relaxing retreat as soon as you walk through the door. Gorgeous wrap around covered porch to enjoy your morning coffee, evening cocktail or gaze upon Onset's spectacular, colorful sunsets. Turn on the fairy lights for added sparkle at night. Loaded with amenities: hot/cold outdoor shower, beach cart, beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, patio, gas grill, full kitchen & laundry, indoor fireplace, jetted bathroom tub, and all bedrooms and living room are equipped with smart TVs.

There is a lounge area outside for anyone wanting quiet time in the coastal air (or teen refuge) with a good book or simply an afternoon nap amongst the outdoor decor and seashell landscaping. Enjoy our coffee/tea bar with to-go cups to fuel up and begin your adventures. Pack and Play, toddler utensils, booster seat and children's books available onsite. Two private parking spaces in the driveway and street parking on a first come basis. Set up with everything you need for a short or long-term stay.

The Zandy Castle, is named after my mother Sandy. It was built in 1880 - exterior Victorian charm with a modern interior. Onset was a seaside resort in the Victorian era for wealthy Bostonians. You will still see Victorian homes sprinkled around town today. The Zandy Castle was presented with a plaque from the Wareham Historical Society which recognizes historical homes with unique period architecture.

Since we want you to truly relax and enjoy your vacation, there is no laundry list of "chores" to do before checking out. Afterall, isn't THAT what the cleaning fee is for?

Your stay at the Zandy Castle is our top priority and we will go out of our way to ensure you have an amazing experience! Though it is only a short drive to the upper Cape, you can enjoy all the benefits of a Cape Cod vacation without the crowds and the traffic. As the locals say, "it is better before the bridge".
