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.

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.
