Come enjoy our quintessential Cape Cod home located in Cotuit, MA with easy access on and off the Cape. Our house is fully stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. We try to include all the necessities so you just have to bring your clothes.
Plenty of linens and towels are provided, along with Barnstable beach sticker, beach chairs, umbrella, toys, kayaks, paddle board, life jackets, bikes, helmets, coolers, stationary workout bike, etc.
ALSO, Just a short walk (10-15min.) or bike ride to 2 beaches, or about 1 mile away is the home of the Cotuit Kettleers baseball field where you can enjoy some of the best college baseball players play games from June-August . You can also use our beach sticker to park at all the beaches in Barnstable County if you want to explore other beaches.
When you first enter the house, you will notice its open floor plan. The inviting family room is open to both the spacious dining area and large kitchen that is furnished with all the comforts of your own home. Games and puzzles are located in the front coat closet as well as in a white wicker chest on the screened in porch, which is actually the best part of the house. The EXTRA LARGE (approximately 400 square feet) completely screened in porch is conveniently located just outside the french doors of the dining area! If you know the Cape, you know the value of a screened in porch on those muggy days of summer. With its vaulted ceiling, recessed lights, flat screen TV, large wicker dining table, lounging area, Tiki Toss, and cool breeze the screens allow, this section of the house is perfect for relaxing with your morning coffee, taking a mid day nap, or entertaining in the evening. During the colder months, the porch is still very useful with windows replacing the screens.
The first floor features the first of its 3 bedrooms with its plush, queen size bed and wall air conditioning unit. A spacious remodeled 3/4 bathroom with walk-in shower is located just across the hall.
Two washers and two dryers are located in the basement for large loads if needed.
Upstairs, you will find two large, seaside decorated bedrooms. Both of these bedrooms include wall air conditioning units. To the left of the stairs is the Master bedroom, furnished with a king size memory foam bed and includes a sitting area to read or watch T.V., as well as a stationary bike . The other bedroom includes 4 twin memory foam beds and is a fun place to have a slumber party. Located between the two bedrooms is a large, full size bathroom.
Let's not forget the outside! A remodeled vinyl outdoor shower is located in the backyard! If you have never taken a shower outside, you need to try it! It's an extremely refreshing way to clean up after a day at the beach. The house is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped large grassy yard that is a great place for playing frisbee, or throwing the ball around, or playing corn hole, etc. Friends and family can watch while relaxing on the screened porch, or they can watch the kids ride around the neighborhood on their bikes while sitting on our high Adirondack chairs on the front deck.
What do we like best about Cotuit and what do we do when vacation here?...
Ride bikes around the neighborhood and drive them to the Cape Cod Canal in Sandwich and ride along the canal.
Walk to the beach.
Kayak and paddle board in the Cotuit bay just off of Riley's beach and inside of Sampson's Island (Dead Neck Island) or in Shoestring Bay where there is a boat ramp.
Watch a Cotuit Kettleer's Baseball game.
Eat at the only drinking/dining establishment in Cotuit called the Kettle Ho.
Walk around and shop at Mashpee Commons and eat at either Bobby Byrnes or Asti.
Definitely go to ice cream shops. Toss up between Polar Cave (fresh made waffle cones) and Four Seas.
Go to New Seabury for Lobster sandwiches at the Raw Bar and walk around the cute little shops.
Walk down Main Street in Hyannis, Chatham, or Falmouth and shop. Each town has their own Main Street, but I think those towns have the best.
Go to Spanky's at the Hyannis dock for outdoor dining.
Chatham Bars Inn or Wequassett Resort or Fisherman's View or The Pilot House are great outdoor places to eat lunch or have drinks right on the water!!
Take the ferry to either Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket from either Woods Hole or Hyannis.
Fun to drive up Rte 28 and stop in different shops along the way.
We are always happy to make recommendations.
