Bay View
We loved the location on the bay despite several days of rain. It was peaceful and very pretty watching the tide come in and out. We all swam and enjoyed the kayak's, canoe and board's a great deal. The house had everything you could need to make any kind of meal which was great. There were plenty of games and plenty of sitting spaces outside which was lovely and allowed us to each enjoy friends and conversation. Edison was a very gracious host and a genuinely lovely person.

Family Trip
Great affordable property, comfortable, clean with plenty of room. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking in, lots of dishes, cutlery & appliances. Plenty of beach towels, chairs & beach toys. The outside shower (with hot & cold)was so nice to wash off after enjoying the private beach. Beautiful views from many rooms. Great kitchen right off main family & dining area helped with the young children in our group. We were able to be all together while still fixing meals. Edson was a prize host and was so nice to have the personal tour to show us where to find what we needed plus leaving us a gift basket with snacks, s’mores supplies, fruit and cheese in fridge. This property was great for a large group- we had 10 adults & 6 under 3. Loved having the 3 baths with this large group. The deck overlooking the bay was also great. Beautiful sunrises also. Look forward to booking again as the grandchildren get older! September 2023. Many Thanks Marlene

Bayview
We had a family vacation that had 16 people. Everything worked out fine. The inside of the property accommodated our large family and the various decks were awesome. The outside railings were gritty (might be from the salt water & trees). There was a pumping station with an overflow pipe that took away from the view. Edson was a wonderful host and i would recommend this property to future guests

Perfect for large groups
Bay view is a great house with lots of room, comfortable beds, sufficient bathrooms with good water pressure and a play/family room that was perfect for all the children of various ages. There certainly were all the necessary amenities and then some, and the watercraft were appreciated by all. Beach with calm, clean water is just a few steps away. Edson, our host, was friendly, accommodating and greeted us on arrival to explain all the home’s features. The location is good, avoids the bridges’ traffic jams but all the mid Cape activities aren’t far away by car if one misses peak traffic times. We would certainly rent this house again.

5 stars plus- excellent property and owner
A GREAT property, Edson the owner, has thought of just about everything you need to enjoy this beautiful home in an amazing location. Edson met us at check in, and explained everything about Bay View. The house is fully stocked with every kitchen appliance know to man. The canoe, kayaks and paddle boards are right there, 100 feet from the bay. The outdoor deck is excellent for dining and the covered one was great when u needed a break from the sun. Grocery stores are a mile or so away, as well as most anything you need to shop for. We were a family of 9 adults, 2 kids, 2 toddlers and a 6 months old, and we all had privacy. One of the best parts in the location. This property is very private and has lots of parking. If you are looking and on the fence, book this place, the property and owner are amazing. Thanks for a much needed week with our whole family Edson, we will be back. PS...the champagne, ice cream and gift basket withe ice cream cones and s'mores making were very much appreciated 👍

Great house for extended family!
We had 4 couples and 4 children and fit in the house perfectly, the children especially loved the bunk room. The property was exactly as advertised. We appreciated the water toys and the shed packed full of everything we needed - chairs, umbrellas, floats, life vests, even various sizes of water shoes and sandals. The kitchen was stocked with every little thing we needed and the closet full of beach towels was a life saver! The kids loved the game room and the beach. The water was a little mucky for them, especially after a few storms came through, but they loved searching for shells. The property was so quiet and a grocery store was very close by. The owner was wonderful with communication and the little extras he left for us. We have no complaints!

An extremely comfortable, private, and delightful vacation.
We brought four families with children together to celebrate my wife’s 70th birthday and retirement after 52 years. 1. Sleeping: There were plenty of beds (10) across five bedrooms, along with some additional “sleep” extras, like a single futon in the kids room, day bed in the master bedroom, and two comfy couches on two floors if needed. All bed linens and plenty of blankets were provided. 2. Cooking: Huge kitchen with all appliances and fully stocked drawers and pantry. We loved the multiple coffee options; from a full coffee brewer, a Keurig, a French press, to a water boiler were available with coffees and teas. There was even a separate beverage / wine cooler we made good use of. 3. Amenities: The air conditioning was perfect through the hottest days. TVs, Wi-Fi and Internet were all as hoped for (and fast). Game tables (foosball and air hockey) and plenty of passive table games as well as many toys were available. A full shed of beach chairs, toys and a closet of beach towels was available. Many floating kayaks and boards were available. Outdoor games (like badminton), barbecue grill, fireplace for s’mores (firewood provided) and a huge number of places to sit and relax outdoors both on the deck and patio, to the lawn, porch and elsewhere. The hot and cold water outdoor shower was a delight. The two washers and dryers were great to have. Three full bathrooms (one on every floor) were perfect for all the showers, baths and family “getting ready to head out” times! The dining table fit all 13 of us. 4. Host: Mr Rafferty was a kind and personable host, who obviously cares about the property as well as his guests. He was fully available and responsive during the initial walkthrough as well as the entire stay. He even graciously provided a cake for my wife’s celebration along with champagne, cheese, crackers and more. 5. Property: The property is hidden away and VERY private (NOTE: GPS to Indian Mound Beach, drive down the hill to the sand’s edge, and then turn left!), with a delightful private beach access and directly joining Indian Mound Beach (a more sandy beach area), that will satisfy nature lovers and beach lovers alike. The very large gravel parking area fit our 4 vehicles with additional places left. There was so much to this property, that we didn’t get to utilize a lot of it during our week long stay. I’m sure I have missed describing something! All in all, our stay was perfect, and the entire family was pleased.

Our extended family of 16 including 9 children (ages 1 thru 9) enjoyed a perfect weeklong reunion at this special home. Edson is a gracious and affable host who met us upon arrival, giving us a tour of his beautiful house and all it had to offer. It really has everything a family needs for a beach vacation. The kids had a great time kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and clamming with us. We ventured out to nearby beaches as well, the bay being well-suited to young children. We are already talking about returning. Thank you Edson !

Don't miss a chance to stay here!
Our family of 8 stayed here for a week. We were in Massachusetts to celebrate my Mother's 93rd birthday, as well as to lay my Father to rest at Massachusetts National Cemetery. We originally reserved the property two years ago, but COVID prevented us from traveling. The owner couldn't have been more accommodating, rescheduling twice. The house is beautiful. Large enough for 8 adults and a few guests to never feel crowded. Three full baths made life simple. The kitchen is fully equipped, you will want for nothing. The bedrooms are large and very comfortable. The owner even had a special birthday cake made for my Mom, as well as bringing the most beautiful roses to celebrate her special day. He left a well-stocked treat box including crackers and s'mores supplies. Fresh fruit and a bottle of sparkling wine made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived. The guys kayaked and canoed. They tried fishing, but I was glad there were stores and great restaurants nearby, as fishing and catching fish are apparently two different things! We'd love to stay again, the Cape is home to my family and this beautiful house right on the water left us rested and happy. Couldn't ask for more.

Wonderful home and hospitality
What a fantastic little vacation! The property is at the end of a secluded drive, with private access to a small beach and boat launch. The kayaks and such were all in great condition, and we had a fantastic time fishing and paddling around on Buttermilk Bay. Gorgeous views from out on the deck, with very comfortably furnished accommodations, a fully equipped kitchen, and great TV/entertainment set-up. We also had the chance to spend a little time with the owner, Edson. He's incredibly gracious and generous, and just a delight to spend time with. He was immediately responsive when we had questions, and resolved one minor issue promptly. Couldn't hope for better. We will definitely be back -- this listing is a jewel! Thanks for a great vacation, Edson!!

Perfect escape with privacy!
Perfect setting, a private beach where kids were safe and easy to oversee. Kids loved searching out the ocean life, especially the hermit and sand crabs. They also learned a lot about the ebb and flow of the tides. There were things for adults as well; kayaks, canoe and paddle boards. Our daughter and son-in-law became very accomplished on the paddle boards. Weather was great - one morning of rain - this pushed us inside for a bit so we took advantage of the foosball and air hockey games. Home was well-equipped for all of our cooking and sleeping needs. The home decor was very attractive with a Cape Cod theme. Great view of the bay from the home’s porch/upper deck - we often ate on the porch. The location was perfect for day trips, both into the Cape as well as other spots in New England. The owner is very gracious and communicative. He waited on our arrival even though he had an emergency that needed to be addressed. He wanted us to get off to a good start. He also called several times during the week to see if we needed anything or if he could be helpful in any way. We had six kids between the ages of 4 and 12 (cousins) and they enjoyed all sleeping together in the bedroom with the bunk beds. This place was just what we all needed coming from 18 months of Covid separation as a family. We celebrated a number of milestone events that had happened during those 18 months since we were all together (e.g., 50th anniversary, 40th birthdays, etc.). The owner helped us celebrate by providing a special cake. He also provided a welcome basket of goodies. We created great memories in a special place. Very satisfied with our experience.

Great place right on the water
My mother, sisters, their spouses, and our families spent a week at this home in August. Edson, the owner, met us on Saturday and gave us a very detailed tour of the property. He should write a book! You walk right onto the beach, which changed with the tides. No waves - perfect for us. The deck is fantastic! We ate lots of meals outside enjoying the afternoon shade. The property had kayaks, paddle boards, a canoe, life jackets for people of all sizes, and lots more. The yard had a volleyball/badminton net and the younger adults all played. There is a wine fridge for our enjoyment - and Edson left us a basket of treats with more in the regular fridge! The kitchen was stocked with every single thing you could need. There is a gas fire unit on the deck and a fire pit towards the beach (though it was too hot outside to use). The view of the moon rising was amazing. The only issues were that it was difficult for my elderly mother to get in and out of the house and the couch in the main living room could have been more comfortable (it was very deep for my short family members). I'd highly recommend this place! It was beautiful, well-stocked and we had a great time.

The photo above is a picture of — “Bay View’s…” Owner — taken when I was a Member of the “Voluntary Crew” of the HMS Endeavor-II — the replica of Captain Cooks Ship he used inThe late-1600’s to the early-1700’s, to discover and explore the “Hawaiian Islands,” and the islands of the South Pacific.

What a fabulous experience that was !!!

My ancestors immigrated to the Americas from Ireland, England, and Scandinavia. .

On my Mother’s side of our family, they came here on the Mayflower (1619), and in1632, when Sea CaptainSamual Knowles decided to settle here.

On my Father side, my 1st Rafferty Ancestor came during the War of 1812, after being “Shanghaied” into the British Navy.

A British Man of War sailed into Donegal & Sligo Harbor, in Ireland, lined up all the able-bodied men -- including my Rafferty Ancestor -– and gave them a choice -- They could "VOLUNTARILY JOIN THE BRITISH NAVY -- OR BE HANGED!!!” Amazingly, they all decided to "join the Navy and see the World.”

When his Ship came off the Coast of Massachusetts, my Rafferty Ancestor slipped overboard one night while "on watch", swam to shore, and became a very early "Undocumented Immigrant of the great “US of A.”
.
My family always lived close to the Sea on the "Jersey Shore." We always joked that the Sea runs through our arteries and veins.

I fell in love with the area – its people -- and with all its amazing historic sites and places and it fabulous coastline and beaches.

There is something special about the Atlantic Ocean and Coast -- ands its weather — and living near the Sea -- It's beautiful sunny days and its wild Nor-Easters and Hurricanes -- have all been elements for my family in making us feel at home here, in touch with nature & connected to our ancestors. For all these reasons, and many more, we have always planned to have a house by the Sea. "Bay View..." is now our little piece of "heaven on earth" for me & my Family !!

Why they chose this property

We love this Home we call “Bay View at Cape Cod on the ” and when it became available to buy in 2018, it was a “No Brainer” on what to do. We snatched it right up and bought it.

We chose this location because of the spectacular morning sunrises and the gorgeous panoramic views of Buttermilk Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. The waters here on Buttermilk Bay are very calm, even though Buttermilk, at the head of Buzzards Bay, are just one step away from the wide open Atlantic Ocean.

Because of its location, it is amazingly well-protected from the rough Atlantic Ocean Storms.

The gentle waters of Buttermilk Bay make it very safe for young children, and with fabulous, panoramic views from our home, we feel very comfortable when our children and grandchildren enter the water without us!

For 40 years, we have been bringing our children to the beaches of Cape Cod. We knew that we wanted to spend our summers here, swimming, fishing, tubing, boating, sailing, Kayaking and everything that the Cape has to offer for families and kids.

We decided to invest in our own Beach house so we can enjoy being at the beach anytime, and it is our great pleasure and joy to be able to share that experience with out wonderful guests.

Occasionally, our guests will honor us by deciding to have one of their important family or business events -- such as a family wedding or Anniversary -- or an 85th Birthday -- in our beautiful, beachfront home.*

*For such events, because of the large amount of additional preparation time and cleanup time, we sometimes find it necessary to charge a separate "Event Fee."


What makes this property unique

Our home is very comfortable and spacious and we enjoy large family gatherings and entertaining friends and extended family here.

Our kids and Grandkids stage sand castle competitions at our beach with the winner getting all the ice cream they can eat! We enjoy fishing, tubing, boating, windsurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking “in our back yard” as well as digging up clams, cohoggs, mussels, and oysters !!!

Let me tell you something -- No Clam 'Chowda', (as they like to say in New
England), ever tastes better when it is HOMEMADE from the fresh shellfish — and occasionally a lobster — you just spent time digging up or catching !!!

At night, we build a fire, in our Fire Pit in our back yard, and “make s’mores, and roast Hot Dogs on sticks,” and tell big "Clam and Fish Stories," while we gaze into the starlit sky to find Orion and Big Dipper.

I have the biggest FISH STORY OF ALL -- Three years ago, I had the pleasure -- and Honor -- of witnessing a baby and mother Whale swim right into our part of Buzzards Bay -- the Mother Whale watching her Baby, while her baby frolicked around right off our beach.

WHAT AN AMAZING EVENT THAT WAS !!!

It is very quiet and peaceful at our beach house but it's only a stones throw away from the Cape Cod Canal and the Bourne Bridge, making it very convenient to endless destinations and activities for the whole family.

As I said before, It's our own little piece of Heaven., and WE LOVE AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT !!! :)
