About this property

Popponesset Isl Designer Expanded Ranch with Deepwater Dock "The Goldfish House"

Fully renovated in 2014, this luxury home awaits you! We invite you to experience the comfort and sophisticated touches of our Nantucket style home designed and remodeled by Thomas J. O'Neill, acclaimed Cape Home Designer as highlighted in Cape Cod and Islands Home, Southern New England Home and Design New England magazines.

Walk into this bright and airy executive ranch with expansive 45 x 20 foot open concept Living, Dining and Kitchen Areas, complimented by 25 foot vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors and custom carpentry built-ins, trim and cabinetry. Enjoy the water view as you walk from the living room to deck with large gas grill, patio dining for 10.

Extras abound in this custom home starting with boston interior / restoration hardware' furnishings and fixtures, top-line marble, granite, hardwoods and travertine surfaces and gallery style kitchen appliances and bath fixtures.

2 Primary bedrooms (1 King and 1 Queen) each with en-suites and walk in closets (one with balcony overlooking the water) on first floor flanking each end of the home afford total privacy and provide spa-like retreats (including hotel quality bath-robes for each guest). A third (Queen) guest bedroom is also on the main floor with water views and a dedicated hallway bath. Fourth bedroom on lower-level with 2 twins adjoining separate family room, another full bath and direct access to garden, patio & dock through French Patio Doors. (When viewing photos, please use full screen mode as many are in panoramic view to give you full scope of rooms.)

Our Deep-water dock will accommodate your (own or rented) Motor or Sailboat up to 25 feet comfortably. 4 Kayak's and 2 stand up paddle boards also on site for your water-craft enjoyment, easily launched from our Dock with ladder. We provide a minimum of 4 adult bicycles, 8 beach chairs, 1 umbrella, 1 beach buggy, coolers and other miscellaneous beach gear. (Flotation vests as well as bicycle helmits are also provided for your safety). We also offer lawn games (corn-hole / giant jenga) and a full assortment of puzzles and family games.

You have two beach options available to you...The semi-public popponesset spit, a barrier beach, is accessible by Kayak, Bike or Foot (approx 1.5 land miles or .5 nautical miles away). South Cape beach is a public state beach with parking (for a fee) approx. 2.7 miles away.

What else do you need? Almost nothing...Beach, Bath and Bed linens are included as well as two laundry areas (1 up, 1 down) and additional full size fridge on the lower level. Paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper), laundry and cleaning detergents and soaps are also provided in your rental fee.

Popponesset Island is the most exclusive neighborhood in New Seabury. Only 69 homes are fortunate enough to claim this gem of an island as our safe harbor. Beautiful gardens and harbor vistas abound and quickly fill you with a sense of calm and serenity. For the boater, we sit in a protected cul-de-sac on the Poppoesset Creek system opening to the Nantucket Sound- less than 6 miles to Martha's Vineyard on your craft. By Kayak you can quickly access the Popponesset Spit barrier beach and wildlife refuge popular for beach goers, birders, clammers and fisherman alike.

For those not familiar with New Seabury and Mashpee, our location is a quick 25 minutes past the Bourne bridge (quicker to get to enjoy your vacation vs. the outer and lower cape towns) and is heralded as one of the fastest growing towns in Massachusetts. We have many upscale shopping and dining options, and activities for young and old. Many visitors fall in love with the local Popponesset Marketplace, a quaint assembly of shops 's and eateries including the renowned Raw Bar and its famous lobster roll. Live entertainment can be found here Thurs-Saturday eves, a real treat for youngsters, along with it's mini golf course. Geographically, we are 7 miles from historic Falmouth and 10 miles from Kennedy famous Hyannis on the route 28 corridor.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to us. This is truly a unique opportunity to walk into a pristine & elegant waterfront property with all the latest conveniences and top of the line detailing.

Excellent family vacation on Cape Cod
This is a perfect family vacation house! The house is a great layout for everyone to have both their own space and also spend time together. The built-in activities (walking, swimming, biking, kayaking and paddle board) make for lots of summer fun! And of course you can’t beat the location. We felt comfortable and our kids were thrilled to wander/bike around New Seabury on their own. A slice of Norman Rockwell’s Americana.

Wonderful time!
Close to everything yet peaceful area. Approx 20 min to ferry for Martha’s Vineyard. Minutes from wonderful seafood ( The Raw Bar) Few minutes from beach. Our host provided ideas for dining, information on local beaches and was most helpful! A must stay if you want a quiet, secluded and enjoyable experience.. hopefully a do over again!

Work Conference
We were in town for a quick work conference. The house was beautiful and spotless. Anne checked in before we arrived and after to make sure everything was up to par. The best part were the kayaks my business partners and I got to use after the conference. Definitely will be booking again.

The perfect setting on Cape Cod for a multi generational family vacation. A beautiful, well appointed house with a large, grassy back yard leading down to the dock and protected inlet. Kayaks and water boards available for short run to The Spit with swimming on either the ocean or bay side. Nearby community marketplace area with miniature golf, ice cream, shops and upscale dining. Fun for all.

Great Find
I am challenged in writing a review for this property, because I am concerned it will make it harder for me to book in the future. We stayed here with 4 adults and 4 children (ages 6 to 12). It was perfect for us in every way. The house is very nicely renovated and furnished. It is well stock with essentials and was very clean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice to luxurious. Communications with the owner were easy and she was very responsive. We had a boat with us, so the location with the dock was perfect. Surrounded by beautiful homes, quiet (although there is a house being built across the street), and easy to get around. The neighborhood is also very nice for walking and bike riding. We always went to beach by boat or kayak, but appears to be a bit long if walking (so if that is a priority it may not be the best match for you). If I had any criticism, I think the list of tenant checkout cleaning was a bit excessive (e.g. wash and fold lines, wipe down counters, fridge, etc.), but they were fine with leaving the final load of laundry in the dryer. Overall we could not have been happier, and we will absolutely look to stay here again.

Thanks to Anne for creating a wonderful property for a spectacular getaway! Beautifully decorated and stocked with all you’ll need. She does a fantastic job! Great location to get to Falmouth/Chatham if you want to explore but also so much to do close by! Anne has many kayaks (and a two person) to enjoy the pretty coves along the island. AMAZING!!! This is a property you can absolutely enjoy during Spring and Fall months too! .... as most places in Mashpee stay open all year and kayaking right off the dock here is wonderful those months too! ENJOY your time here, We loved it! 🧡

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Host profile image
I have known Popponesset and New Seabury since my infant days, arriving at 7 days old and spending each of my summers growing up here through adulthood. Hubby Lee & I live nearby on the Beach in Popponesset. We love being hosts/property managers and getting to meet and greet wonderful guests. Our Popponesset Island home is one of our great pride and joys, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our slice of paradise with one time and repeat vacationers.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located to all that Cape Cod has to offer but without the hassle of traffic along rte 28, 6a or 131 to points north. New Seabury has a unique upscale Resort 'Vibe' while neighboring Popponesset captures the charm of quintessential cape cod cottage living. Mashpee is the fastest growing town on Cape Cod, spurred on, no doubt ,by it's great shopping, restaurants and various options to enjoy the outdoors. We love it and hope you will have a chance to fall in love too :)

What makes this property unique

One of the last standing examples of 'Royal Barry Wills Architecture, this ranch was lived in and and loved by only two families since it's birth in 1966. A victim of the recesssion presented a unique opportunity for us to aquire this gem in the rough and fully remodel it with all the latest modern amenities in classic nantucket style design. Clearly not the most impressive home on Popponesset Island, but definately one of the best examples of breathing new and upscale life into a classic. Popponesset Island lies in Popponesset Bay, an arm of Nantucket Sound, and is separated from the mainland of Cape Cod by the narrow Popponesset Creek. It only has a total area of 0.39 square miles . 0.077 square miles of it is land, and 0.31 square miles is water. It's charm lays in it's discreet setting surrounded by breathtaking bay and ocean views and is heralded to be one of the best kept secrets of cape living on the Upper Cape.
