Retreat Cottage

You'll love this quiet, charming, oceanfront, restored 1920s cottage with updates on a private dirt road. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sea. You'll wake up each morning greeted by exceptional views of Cape Cod Bay, and possibly seals sunbathing on the nearby rocks. The private beach is accessible via stone steps next door, and a short walk on a country road brings you to two conservation beaches for walking and swimming. You may also escape to Cape Cod (the bridge is five miles down the road) or head up to historic Plymouth for the day.

If you're a fan of early American history, Plymouth is the perfect getaway! Visit Plimoth Plantation, a replica of the original village first settled in 1620. Don’t forget Plymouth Rock and the replica of the Mayflower soon to be returning. Situated in Pilgrim Memorial State Park, the rock is believed to be the spot where the Pilgrims first stepped foot on American soil. A ship- and rope-building mecca in the 19th century, Plymouth today boasts myriad historical sites, colonial architecture, shopping venues, and over 400 restaurants. The cottage is also five miles from the Sagamore Bridge, so you can also enjoy Cape Cod's beaches, quaint seaside villages, and wonderful seaside restaurants.

Cape Cod Getaway
Absolutely loved our stay. It was beautiful, the cottage was just the right atmosphere for a week of relaxing times. My wife and I loved the sunrises, the seals, the views, and especially loved the neighbors Paul and Linda checking on us time to time. Great week and will be back. A charming beautiful cottage!

Very nice home! Super private and quiet. Close to a small town with nice restaurants and a grocery store. Easy to get toPllymouth attractions and the Cape. Best views of the bay. Gorgeous sunrises. Seals out in the rocks were so fun to watch. Be sure to bring binoculars!

Cape Cod Charmer
This is a charming cottage right on the water. My husband and I spent 4 nights there in October. Weather was gorgeous, and it was a great base for visiting Cape Cod, Plymouth, Boston and surrounding areas. The road in from the highway is a bit rustic, but worth the effort!

We loved the location, privacy, and the sound of seals in the morning! Well stocked and comfortable! Our only criticism is that you should invest in new mattresses. They were quite lumpy.

Perfect fall retreat
We just had a wonderful stay at the retreat cottage. The house was sparkling clean when we arrived, it was cozy and despite the cooler and windy temp we were able to enjoy the beautiful view in the Veranda. The concierge service was easily accessible to answer our questions. It was conveniently located between Sandwich and Plymouth with just a short 20 min drive. Overall we had a great weekend and we are really happy with our choice to rent the retreat!

Lovely home with outstanding view
The home was very clean and the waterfront views are amazing . Our family very much enjoyed our November stay and would definitely recommend. The house is well heated in case you are wondering . The driveway into the house is a little daunting ( single lane dirt road - take it slow ) but we managed to come and go a few times during our stay with no real issues . We did see a seal and even 1 whale was visible from the deck . Recommend visitors to bring a pair of binoculars as there is much to see all around the property .

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I visited in late October and were so happy we chose this home. The coastal view was unreal and the seals popping up were so special and we got a lot of enjoyment watching the local bird life as well! On a clear night the moon and stars shown so brightly over the water it was incredible. On our last day we chatted with the neighbor who is also the owner and learned some fun information about the house and life on the coast. Please know that the road to get to the house in unpaved and unlit but our mini suv rental handled it just fine. I can’t recommend that stay highly enough!

Serene with amazing water views.
We enjoyed magnificent ocean views from glassed in porch the most. The one way road to property is a little rocky but no problem with food delivery. The sofa's back was to the Ocean, it be better against the side wall facing the TV to enjoy both. When the tide was out my sister and I loved walking to and from Ellisville National park.

Just what we hoped for
Booked this property purely because of the reviews that seals sunbathed on the rocks off the beach. They were there daily - on the rocks or even just visibly swimming by at high tide! Their barking was not bothersome at all. The private drive is very bumpy and single lane but the location was private, quiet, and very scenic. Centrally located to various attractions and towns. Property is somewhat rustic and bathrooms are small. Master bed had a sizable mattress dip but was avoidable. The deck is a little narrow and wish the railing extended all the way around for safety. Overall the experience greatly outweighed what may be perceived as things lacking. Loved it.

Not worth the money.
That driveway (very long) is a joke. Holes and overgrown. Smoke detectors (unbelievably loud) went off at midnight with no smoke or CO. Ruined our night. Too far from anything, very isolated. Rocks in front prevent any water activities. Nearby beaches are rocky. Lumpy old mattress in master bed. Very tiny 3rd bedroom and a shower an adult can barely fit into. No AC, very hot in July.

Horrible Experience
Property location was wonderful, but nothing else was good. We killed over 50 spiders during our stay and when we tried to communicate with the management company we got the run around. We didn't have enough towels for each person for our 4 day stay. House was dirty and had cobwebs and spiders living in each and every corner of the house. The furniture was also covered in webs. There was a vase of flowers that had been dead for awhile and the moldy water was also left.

Beautiful view. Terrible bed
The view was beautiful and the location rustic and charming. The porch was a restful and beautiful place to enjoy the view. Our grand children loved it. That being said…. An innkeeper should know how to put together a bed. The mattress was foam and looked fairly new. A foam mattress needs to be supported by a box spring or platform. There were significant depressions where it was not supported by the few slats that held it up. In addition there was no mattress pad or mattress protector on it… just a thin sheet, which makes me concerned about the cleanliness. I asked about it because of bad reviews and they said they checked on it and it was ok. The kitchen was poorly organized.

The location was perfect! I was nervous about the lack of AC but we did not miss it! The breeze from the ocean in combination with the provided fans made it just right. There were a lot of (occupied!!) cobwebs but otherwise very clean. The upstairs bathroom was tight but mostly used for our teens. The view made this house worth it. Omg. Waking up to seals singing and water splashing. The owner, Paul was very kind and Luna, his pup was a joy to play with everytime we came outside. I would recommend this property to everyone wanting close proximity to plymouth, which we visited several times. Along with Boston by train and a whale watching cruise out of hyannis which was within easy driving distance. Thanks for the use of this property so we could make amazing memories with our teens!!

Remarkably Mediocre
The location and the views are almost enough to give this property a higher rating, but not quite. The lane to the house winds through a dense, marshy area, and the house itself sits high up above the beach with a beautiful view of the Atlantic. We saw harbor seals basking every day, as well as many birds and boats. The ocean breeze was delightful, especially at night because the house has no AC. There were a few floor fans available (could use more ceiling fans) in the house to help with the heat, but they hadn't been cleaned in ages and were caked with dust. On the surface it seemed as though things had been wiped and vacuumed, but a closer look revealed that the effort was hurried at best. Many cobweb corners, spiders and flies, stained carpets and baseboards, and every window sill was in dire need of cleaning. The interior of each disorganized kitchen cabinet featured crumbs and dust, and the basement, which we were asked to venture into for loading laundry & disposing of trash was from a horror movie chase scene. A deck chair in the enclosed patio was broken beyond repair and a framed mirror sitting on a dresser was also broken. No way to let owner know - only robotexts. Many windows and one sliding door had broken locks. The decor is tired and old, old magazines and several buckets of rocks and odd other broken bits of things, cabinets left open or don't close. House could be a base for excursions, but would not recommend for a comfortable stay.

Sweet and Sour
We left this property with mixed feelings. The great things about it, #1 the view! 180 degrees of harbor/ocean was spectacular. The sound of the waves hitting the rocks or the seals barking at each other was true treat. However there was no beach during high tide and to access that beach you needed to go to the neighbors’ yard. The inside of the house was quaint and cute however, the outdated kitchen and bathrooms did not match the price we paid per night. In addition, several outlets were not functional, which made it hard to utilize the fans to cool the place down since it lacked air conditioning. The porch lights did not work so coming home in the dark was problematic. Finally, the one lane entry road was a danger zone to our minivan. We bottomed out 3-4 times while moving at 5 mph. If this property was 1/2 the price we would have been happier. Unfortunately the positives were overshadowed by the negatives.

25th Anniversary
The property location was an absolutely stunning area. It was peaceful, quiet, and private. The view of the ocean was what we needed to sit back, relax, and enjoy together time. The seals brought so much joy every day, to see them bobbing their heads and frolicking in their environment was priceless. The view from the main bedroom was stunning, especially as the sun rose, again just peaceful and serene. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to family and friends. There were a few easy things to be fixed, that would make a huge difference to the vacationers. Weeding needs to be done, weeds were growing into stairs going to main door, and the weeds growing in front of the deck need to be cut, they were causing many bugs to be flying and crawling around us as we tried to watch the ocean in the evening. The side yard was also overgrown and needed to be weeded and mowed. There needs to be a working clock in the house. The ones that were there had no battery. Lastly the mattress in the main bedroom needs to be replaced... To have a beautiful property like this with a very restless sleep just does not do justice for the renter. With these few fixes this property would be perfect.
