★The Islander | Steps From Water, Fire Pit, AC★

A pristine island getaway. This tastefully decorated cozy cottage is nestled in the Wild Life Sanctuary of Monomoscoy Island. The home is steps from the water, and a small private beach for you to enjoy. The location is great for a family vacation, couples getaway or romantic retreat. You will be minutes from South Cape Beach, New Seabury and the Mashpee Commons. Relax on the large front porch that offers a fire pit and views of the water on either side. Stay with us on your next vacation!

~The Space~
Our year round cottage has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. It is set on a quiet private road. The large front deck offers room for everyone, and fantastic views of the water! On the front deck you will find seating for your whole group with a fire pit to keep you warm at night. About 500 feet from the front of the house, at the end of the street, you will find a small private beach for you to use. Bring a beach chair for a day in the sun, or enjoy an amazing sunset over Waquiot Bay at night. In the partially fenced in back yard, you will find a BBQ grill and table to enjoy a meal outside on those warm summer days.

This newly furnished cottage has a comfortable open floor plan featuring high vaulted ceilings. The full kitchen includes all the utensils and appliances for cooking a delicious meal. The living room includes a large sectional couch for watching TV or conversing with the family. The 55 inch smart HD TV has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon built in for your convenience.

The master bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a 32 inch flat screen TV. Also, enjoy views and access to the back yard through the large slider. The second bedroom also includes a queen size bed with large closet for storage. The third bedroom is equipped with two twin beds and a closet as well. The bathroom has a full shower, including a tub, and a washer and dryer for your use.

~Guest Access~
The entire home plus all amenities are included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home.

~Guest Interaction~
I am here for you during your stay, our level of interaction is up to you. I’m only a phone call or message away. You will be able to self check-in upon arrival. I have lived on Cape Cod for 24 years and would be happy to give suggestions on things to do and see! There will be a welcome binder provided when you arrive that will include my recommendations on where to eat, activities, and other information about the area.

~The Neighborhood~
The cottage is located on the wildlife sanctuary that is Monomoscoy Island. Once across the causeway the cottage is located on a small private street. At the end of the street you will find a small picturesque beach. The island is 1 and1/2 miles long, making it great for a walk or a bike ride where you can take in the views of wildlife and beautiful homes. South Cape Beach(3.5 miles), Mashpee Commons(2.5 miles), New Seabury(2 miles), and Popponessett Market Place are just a few places that are a short drive from the home. Falmouth center(15 minutes) and ferries to Martha’s Vineyard are also located close by.

~Getting Around~
The cottage includes parking for 2 cars as you will need to drive most places. Uber and Lyft are also good inexpensive options. There are a few taxi companies that service the area as well. I will include references in the welcome binder.

I just had the best vacation with my family at the Islander in Mashpee, MA. My host was very helpful and attentive. I had never been to this part of Mashpee before and it was beautiful. I was able to visit old favorites on the Cape and find new favorite places. I highly recommend this cottage. It was very comfortable and the host was amazing.

This lovely cottage is in pristine condition, with carefully chosen amenities and appliances, and decorated thoughtfully.

A lovely and comfortable home from which to explore Mashpee and the Cape. The porch fire table is such a bonus at night.

This is a perfect spot for a late summer getaway. The immediate area is quiet but not far from beaches and shopping. The property and very clean and well-maintained, and contained everything we needed. The fire pit on the front porch was a very welcome plus in the evenings.

Island Getaway

My four friends and I were very lucky we stumbled upon the Islander. Nestled away from the crowds, the location provided us with access to the bay just steps down the road and the nature of Monomoscoy Island. Really lovely, peaceful morning walks, followed by the great opportunity to explore the Cape. We spent a day in Provincetown, had a great visit to the national seashore, and went into different towns. We had a few questions and the hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. A couple things in the house could use a refresh/refill, but we went out to eat most nights so didn’t use the kitchen very much. A great visit and taste of East Coast Summer thanks to the Islander!

Perfect!

I was travelling with my 3 sisters from Canada heading towards Martha's Vineyard for a sister's reunion. We all appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail. The space was well appointed. The fridge ice maker did not work well so having some ice cube trays would have been helpful. I highly recommend The Islander.
