Welcome to this coastal New England charmer! Newly remodeled, within walking distance of a private beach, and touting a quiet neighborhood, this home is perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Near a kayak launching area, you'll love exploring the uninhabited 100-acre Washburn Island that boasts trails to hike and pristine beaches. The Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is right nearby and is a fantastic spot for a picnic. You're also close to Bosun's East Falmouth Marina and the Childs River Landing public boat ramp, from which you can sail to Nantucket Sound and visit Martha's Vineyard. The lovely town of Falmouth boasts boutique shops, great eateries, and plenty of family-friendly attractions, all just a few miles away.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior and a feeling of welcome throughout the space. Relax and make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming your favorite shows on the large TV, or carrying on great conversations with your loved ones. Prepare grand meals and beach picnic snacks in the sophisticated kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. With three beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to get a comfortable night's sleep from the day's adventures. End the day on a perfect note by gathering around the firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories late into the night.

Make memories that'll last a lifetime when you stay here for your Cape Cod vacation.

Quaint home for beach visits
Loved this little cottage for our 3 night stay. It was not as close to the beach but we were able to find the private beach as well as other beaches within a 10 minute ride. The property is well organized and lovely!

Lovely cottage
It was what we were looking for. The only thing if I had any critique was the fan in the living room made some noise when it was on.

A simple place, full of love and care for the environment
The care of the owners is obvious, and we immensely appreciated this feel of welcome and kindness. There is a simple, welcoming, family feel. I hope everyone staying there will take good care of the house and garden. My young grandchildren who love nature where happy there!
