About this property

Beautiful Cape Home w/Private Beach and Spectacular Sunsets

The house is in Monument Beach, which is in the town of Bourne. Bourne is a quiet, accessible Cape Cod town that is 'off the beaten path' relative to more well-known towns. It is a classic wooden shingled house with a private beach. We have owned this house for 40 years, we are not property managers.
This house is NEVER rented on CraigsList but scams have been attempted - do not fall for it! Message us on VRBO if you have a question.

The house is relatively large, with a deep porch wrapping around half its perimeter, facing the beach. All of the bedrooms have picture windows, and three of the bedrooms have stellar water views while the fourth looks out on the park.

The house is situated on Phinney's Harbor, the first harbor south of the Canal on Buzzards Bay on the Cape side of the Bridge. It is a gorgeous harbor with warm water and terrific conditions for children, sailing, kayaking, and fishing. The house is West facing, and blessed with perfectly stellar sunsets.
Adjacent to the property is a park with a jungle gym, a basketball court, tennis courts, and a field adequately large for a pick-up baseball game. One appealing feature of the house is its accessible location. Due to its proximity (4 miles) to the Bourne Bridge, it is easy to get to. One can frequently make the trip to the house from Boston in less than an hour and a half, even on Friday afternoons. This means that if not everyone in the family is on vacation during the rental, everyone can at least be together in the evenings.
Although this is a lovely spot, our home is not available for weddings or parties of any kind.

Beautiful and quiet
Very relaxing and well equipped home. The home was well cleaned and cared for, provided the perfect stay with minimal fuss. The house and the views are better than the pictures, we will be back.

Family celebration for 80th Birthday
8 family members and a new born gathered to celebrate our mother’s 80th Birthday. The house was perfect for the occasion. Roomy,clean, updated, great kitchen supplies and fully stocked with bed linens and plenty of towels. Water views were beautiful and the wrap around porch facing the water was beyond picturesque. We spent much of most of the weekend on the porch catching up, relaxing and playing games. It was also where we gathered for dinners ( from the delicious lobster trap) while watching the beautiful sunsets. The brother who lives next door was so friendly and popped by the first day while we were on the porch to answer any questions and to be sure we were set. We left feeling like we had found a hidden gem which made our time together and celebration all the more special. We hope to return in the future!

Great Family Spot
We had a great time here! We are two families with small children looking to get away for the weekend. The property is ON the water, bright, clean with its own beach and a playground next door! One can walk to ice cream, a bakery and drive 5 minutes down the road for lobster rolls. I would definitely stay here again. If for nothing else, the front porch and the sunsets.

About the host

Hosted by Joan O’Connell

Host profile image
Our grandfather first purchased a house in this neighborhood in 1938 and my siblings and I grew up summering in Monument Beach.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet village of Monument Beach and have enjoyed so many family memories in this house. Our extended family makes every effort to spend at least some time here every year. We kayak, sail, play tennis and enjoy time chatting, reading, napping and watching sunsets from the porch.

What makes this property unique

Our favorite feature of the house would have to be the beautiful sunsets that light up the sky across the bay in front of the porch. If you have children they will enjoy the playground and the tennis courts adjacent to the house.
