Welcome to "Shore Bet," a classic New England coastal gem perfect for your next relaxing family getaway! Nestled in the picturesque seaside village of Humarock (Scituate, MA), our cottage sits on a unique strip of land surrounded by water—midway between Boston and Plymouth on Cape Cod Bay.

Whether you are looking to hit the beach, surf cast, hunt for seaglass, or walk to the local ice cream shop, this is the ultimate destination for authentic New England beach memories.
