You'll love this quiet, charming, oceanfront, restored 1920s cottage with updates on a private dirt road. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sea. You'll wake up each morning greeted by exceptional views of Cape Cod Bay, and possibly seals sunbathing on the nearby rocks. The private beach is accessible via stone steps next door, and a short walk on a country road brings you to two conservation beaches for walking and swimming. You may also escape to Cape Cod (the bridge is five miles down the road) or head up to historic Plymouth for the day.

If you're a fan of early American history, Plymouth is the perfect getaway! Visit Plimoth Plantation, a replica of the original village first settled in 1620. Don’t forget Plymouth Rock and the replica of the Mayflower soon to be returning. Situated in Pilgrim Memorial State Park, the rock is believed to be the spot where the Pilgrims first stepped foot on American soil. A ship- and rope-building mecca in the 19th century, Plymouth today boasts myriad historical sites, colonial architecture, shopping venues, and over 400 restaurants. The cottage is also five miles from the Sagamore Bridge, so you can also enjoy Cape Cod's beaches, quaint seaside villages, and wonderful seaside restaurants.

Gorgeous place

Fantastic view, cant say enough about sunrise and sunset. Nice away from it all spot close enough to places to go fora really good balance. The road in isa back road on the cape going any faster than 5mph will rattle you around but totally worth the slow roll in.

Cape Cod Charmer

This is a charming cottage right on the water. My husband and I spent 4 nights there in October. Weather was gorgeous, and it was a great base for visiting Cape Cod, Plymouth, Boston and surrounding areas. The road in from the highway is a bit rustic, but worth the effort!

The location was perfect! I was nervous about the lack of AC but we did not miss it! The breeze from the ocean in combination with the provided fans made it just right. There were a lot of (occupied!!) cobwebs but otherwise very clean. The upstairs bathroom was tight but mostly used for our teens. The view made this house worth it. Omg. Waking up to seals singing and water splashing. The owner, Paul was very kind and Luna, his pup was a joy to play with everytime we came outside. I would recommend this property to everyone wanting close proximity to plymouth, which we visited several times. Along with Boston by train and a whale watching cruise out of hyannis which was within easy driving distance. Thanks for the use of this property so we could make amazing memories with our teens!!

Beautiful view. Terrible bed

The view was beautiful and the location rustic and charming. The porch was a restful and beautiful place to enjoy the view. Our grand children loved it. That being said…. An innkeeper should know how to put together a bed. The mattress was foam and looked fairly new. A foam mattress needs to be supported by a box spring or platform. There were significant depressions where it was not supported by the few slats that held it up. In addition there was no mattress pad or mattress protector on it… just a thin sheet, which makes me concerned about the cleanliness. I asked about it because of bad reviews and they said they checked on it and it was ok. The kitchen was poorly organized.

Owners REALLY Need New Property Manager

Adorable cottage on the coast with a beautiful view! Very old and has such great charm - no A/C was rough on our first night as it was in the 90’s, but once it cooled down it was perfect. The management company is ridiculous. I have rented many places over the years and this was the worst by far. For the amount of money paid for the property you should get more than one garbage bag and one roll of paper towels for a five day stay. The “welcome package” comes with a tiny bottle of dish soap, enough laundry detergent for one load of laundry, and 2 packs of dishwashing powder (no dishwasher at this location). It’s disappointing because we will be coming to Plymouth at least twice a year to visit family and it would be nice to stay at the same place consistently, but I won’t be renting any Vacasa properties again.

Very rustic location with a great view of the ocean

If you are looking for a very remote and rustic location this is a great spot. House and furnishings are quite old but well maintained. View is very nice. Road or driveway to house is rough and overgrown. Thought we were lost till we finally got there. Drive an SUV I don’t think a car could have made it in or out especially if it rained.

Cape Cod Getaway

Absolutely loved our stay. It was beautiful, the cottage was just the right atmosphere for a week of relaxing times. My wife and I loved the sunrises, the seals, the views, and especially loved the neighbors Paul and Linda checking on us time to time. Great week and will be back. A charming beautiful cottage!

I will miss the seals

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay at this location right on the water. The road there was interesting as it is narrow and bumpy with tall weeds on both sides. But once you arrive, it is just breathtaking. The home was just right for us and our needs. The only suggestion to the homeowners is to provide better dishes, cups, and mugs. The gentleman next door was incredibly sweet and kind, as was his dog, Luna. You will enjoy the sound of the ocean tides and the seals. We got a kick out of watching and listening to them fight over who would be king of the rock. I highly recommend this spot.

Remarkably Mediocre

The location and the views are almost enough to give this property a higher rating, but not quite. The lane to the house winds through a dense, marshy area, and the house itself sits high up above the beach with a beautiful view of the Atlantic. We saw harbor seals basking every day, as well as many birds and boats. The ocean breeze was delightful, especially at night because the house has no AC. There were a few floor fans available (could use more ceiling fans) in the house to help with the heat, but they hadn't been cleaned in ages and were caked with dust. On the surface it seemed as though things had been wiped and vacuumed, but a closer look revealed that the effort was hurried at best. Many cobweb corners, spiders and flies, stained carpets and baseboards, and every window sill was in dire need of cleaning. The interior of each disorganized kitchen cabinet featured crumbs and dust, and the basement, which we were asked to venture into for loading laundry & disposing of trash was from a horror movie chase scene. A deck chair in the enclosed patio was broken beyond repair and a framed mirror sitting on a dresser was also broken. No way to let owner know - only robotexts. Many windows and one sliding door had broken locks. The decor is tired and old, old magazines and several buckets of rocks and odd other broken bits of things, cabinets left open or don't close. House could be a base for excursions, but would not recommend for a comfortable stay.

Way Too Hot to Enjoy

The location, cleanliness and quaintness of the cottage were great. Check-in was a breeze. But the positives end there for us. It was insanely hot in the cottage upon arrival and with little breeze we were unable to cool it down inside despite all of the fans. Sleeping was pretty miserable both nights and we were unable to stay long in the morning and enjoy the space because as soon as the sun rose the cottage became a hot box. Literally we were dripping in sweat by 9:00 am. Additionally, the three stars comes from the fact the alarm system went off at 11:00 pm. It was super loud and kept saying, “evacuate now.” We called the contact listed and VRBO “put in a ticket” and said someone would call back. We called 911 and the fire department came and cleared the place. They said that dirt and cobwebs were affecting the alarm sensors. Kids were terrified and crying as we sat outside in pitch black waiting for the fire department to arrive. Guess who we never heard back from? VRBO or the property owners. But we did get reminded to leave a great review about our stay. 😳

Quick summer getaway

We enjoyed the stay. The view was the best part. We got to watch seals and the vessel traffic. We enjoyed exploring the rocky beach at low tide and watching the tide cycle. House was fine for our needs. A few more glasses and mugs that were not chipped would have been nice. The move out instructions asked for us to start the laundry however there was no laundry detergent. Overall a relaxing stay at a vintage shoreside summer cottage.

Spacious home, great views and solitude

It’s a very private location. The home was reasonably appointed, with some updated living areas. We watched the seals and the sunsets every day. Close to groceries and gas and close to local beaches and the bridges. It’s a hike to Provincetown and the rest of the cape from there so plan accordingly. Check in and check out was easy. Management was very responsive.
