About this property

Nantucket Sound 1 mile; Central A/C; south of Rte 28; lovely spot

The cottage is just across the street from Bass River - about a mile from the mouth of the River and Nantucket Sound. Several types of beaches, i.e., river beaches, Nantucket Sound beaches, are walkable from cottage. Private garden.

This adorable, central air-conditioned, authentic Cape Cod cottage is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood that is listed on the National Registry of Historic Districts. An 1820 Cape cottage with wide planked pine flooring and hand-hewn timbers, but with modern conveniences.

Perfectly placed for exploring Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Boston and Southeast New England -- all in easy reach.

The luxury of central air conditioning has recently been installed together with central heating. It has also been recently re-decorated.

Bass River is the largest, all salt tidal river on the East Coast. There are several free public River beaches along Bass River a short stroll from the cottage or approx. 1 mile (1.6 km) to Nantucket Sound's ocean beaches.

The lovely views along the river are perfect for a leisurely daily walk. There is a small neighborhood bakery (less than a mile) nestled nearby for fresh breakfast yummies, coffee, the paper and other bakery items.

The river is wonderful for kayaking and kayak rentals are very close by. There are several places to put in should you have your own.

The cottage features three bedrooms with closets and bureaus. Upper floor: one double bedroom and one single bedroom plus half-bath. Lower floor: one double bedroom; full bath with bathtub/shower; comfortable living room with digital cable color TV; DVD player w/ DVD library; WiFi; assorted books/jigsaw puzzles/games; large eat-in kitchen with refrigerator, electric cooktop; convection/microwave oven, toaster, kettle, all kitchen china/utensils, etc.

The kitchen opens onto a private brick patio complete with umbrellaed patio seating for four with gas barbeque overlooking the garden. A traditional Cape Cod lawn with hammock completes the quintessential Cape Cod experience.

Bed linens (all 100% cotton) provided. Please bring your own bath/beach towels. For guests traveling by air, towels, both bath and beach, available for modest fee.

This is a self-catering cottage meaning you must supply your own paper products. Should you require towels, you will be given: wash cloth, hand towel, bath towel and beach towels. There is no housekeeping service during a guest's stay and linens/towels are not laundered during a guest's stay. There is laundromat close by.

Two large food markets and pharmacy are less than one mile from the cottage.

Outside Items available are beach chairs, beach umbrella, various sized coolers. Please let me know what else you may need and I'll try and accommodate!

Less than one hour to the Cape Cod National Seashore. Hyannis and the ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are a 20-minute drive from the cottage and Boston proper a 1-1/2 hour drive.

Ideal for small family or two couples. Maximum of four.

This is a non-smoking property both inside and out. I am sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets. Unsuitable for children under 12.

Great location!!!
Barb’s guest house is over 200 years old and reminded me of my grandparents cottage in Maine. The steep stairs to the two upstairs bedrooms and the old fashioned kitchen all brought back fond memories from my childhood. We enjoyed breakfast every day in the private outdoor patio and daily walks around her lovely neighborhood. Barb’s street parallels the Bass River. The are many roads off of Barb’s street that lead to public areas to get a peek of the Bass River.

Charming and central
We were a party of 3 adults (mom and college age kids) and we had a wonderful time. We had one extra person for 3 nights. The cottage was just as described, with nooks and crannies and lots of personality. Very comfortable. Kitchen big enough for 4 to cook and eat, and living room accommodated our game night perfectly. There was a lovely patio area to eat outside. Barbara was a gracious host and provided local information and beach chairs (so we didn't have to pack our own). Lovely walk near the river with a cute windmill beach nearby. Easy drive to mini-golf, go-carts, bounce park, and within driving distance to the drive-in movies at Wellfleet. We also toured Chatham, and got some thrifting in too. Would definitely stay again.

Very uncomfortable
Bed was very uncomfortable. Sagging. Sofa was probably 40 years old. Could not get around the bed unless you slid sideways. It was almost touching both walls. Kitchen floor was linoleum and very stained and dirty. It was unsafe to go up to the second level. Stairs were steep and narrow and no handrails. We had to bring our own towels. Sheets were provided but we had to make the bed. The neighborhood was beautiful. A shame this house had not been updated. A very old house sadly in need of many updates.

Why they chose this property

I grew up here during the summer. It was idyllic! The River is so close by--just across the street. I would cross the street and spend my days at the small, free, beaches accessible from the street.

What makes this property unique

This is a traditional, Cape Cod cottage with the requisite sand driveway and Cape Cod lawn. But, updated with central air, wifi, decorated with Ralph Lauren and Waverly wall coverings. A true Cape Cod experience!
