Retreat Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great relaxing stay

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Super quiet and fantastic view

The dirt road is something you really need a truck for, our Lincoln MKZ made it but OMG. The beds were comfortable but the sheets smelled musty. You go for the view and the quietness, we went to visit family in the general area and wanted to stay by the water, which is basically 15 ft from the back of the house. We would stay again. Bring a Keurig if you like your coffee that way.

Perfect weekend getaway

We loved our stay! The house was super clean and much appreciated. It's on the older side, but the 4-season porch is updated and an amazing place to have our meals looking out over the water. Loved seeing the seals on the rocks. The stone steps toward the beach were hard to find, but the friendly neighbor with the black dog showed us the way.

Wonderful Location!

This house is in a great location, right on the water. There were seals on the rocks at low tide every day and lots of birds and other wildlife to watch. The deck and porch were wonderful! The house was also central to everywhere we wanted to go, but was a nice, quiet escape. The house was accessed by an unpaved, one-lane road but our Subaru did just fine. There is no AC, but plenty of fans were provided and it was always a good temperature. There were a few bugs, flies and a few spiders, but overall it was quite clean. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice but problems

Beautiful view and location. Nice deck and enclosed porch. Kitchen not up to the quality of the rest of the house. Cupboard doors don't close, very unorganized. Dirty dishes and pans. Asked where the gas grill was. No answer for 22 hours. Took laundry downstairs only to find dryer out of order with a sign on it. Part of a long trip so we needed to wash clothes. Had to leave a day early. No offer for any money back from host.

Tranquil getaway

What a lovely time we had this past Labor Day weekend at your Quaint cottage. To sit on the deck and to look out over the Bay they as the seals and wildlife played was just the thing to soothe the soul and recharge our batteries. The cottage was tastefully decorated simple simple and everything you would need but need for a last minute escape it escaped. Thank you so much, would highly recommend.
