Perfect little spot

We traveled for Easter weekend and love this little house. It’s perfect for our family of 4 and my kids love being able to walk right outside to the beach.

Wonderful stay!

This house was perfect for the three of us. We are from the Pacific Northwest and even by our standards it rained hard while we were in Cape Cod! This little house gave us some great refuge and home base for driving to see the area. The kitchen is set up well and being a weekend chef, it had all we needed! Even sharp knives! We will be back!

Beautiful, cozy cottage on the beach

A friend and I stayed at the cozy and warm Owl House 1.5 days in the middle of a small winter storm. Made for a dramatic and deliberately serene winter time beach walking. It was a spacious and welcoming place with 1 bedroom and an open loft with several single beds to accommodate additional guests/family if needed. Owl House had everything we could possibly need and Kerry made sure of that and that we were comfortable asking any questions- very welcoming. A great place any time of the year to visit Sandwich. We loved our stay at Owl House!

Amazing Location and Gorgeous Home

Kerry was awesome for communication from the start of the reservation process through checkout. The home guide book answered all questions that came up including great spots to eat during the offseason. Home was very clean, spacious and right over the dunes to the beach which we checked out even in 30 degree weather ;)

Owl House Magic

The amazing photos and lovely description of Owl House come to life as soon as you open the door to this cozy, immaculate, and incredibly accommodating cottage - I immediately felt at home! The overall layout and beautiful details throughout the interior & outdoor spaces are not just on point, they are SO thoughtful of each guests’ comfort. The bedding is heavenly, the mattresses are divine. Both full baths were so clean and set up, with fresh fluffy towels of all sizes and amazing bath products. The organized linen closet with backup everything: chef’s kiss! I loved utilizing the well-stocked kitchen for meals, brewing a cup (or pot!) of coffee to enjoy on the beach-facing porch, wrapped in a comfy sweatshirt and soft sandy dunes! The WiFi was excellent for the bit of work I had to do - the gracious dining table also made for a comfortable workspace. I stretched out on the comfy living room couch and watched a movie on the flat screen TV with ease; I curled up on the comfy outdoor couch and enjoyed a cocktail by the propane fire pit with ease as well! Walking the private beach, picking up a special rock here and there, watching the sky and shore turn shades of pink as the sun set - satisfied my soul. East Sandwich is lovely! I can’t wait to return: enjoy the beach chairs, outdoor shower, grill .. beach fires! As soon as the time is right. Kerry is an exquisite host - so kind, helpful & accommodating. Hands down: the best! Thank you .. I am so grateful your home found me ✨✨

Perfect beach cottage

We had a perfect beach vacation. Crisp and clean with beautiful and functional furniture. Kitchen was a great size to be comfortable to prepare to eat in. Dine on the patio vs the dining room table or both. Outdoor lounging and storage for all the beach accessories. Steps from the beach. The daytime is lounging and swimming and the evening is beach fires and s'more's. Also was able to have excellent restaurant meals close by with a variety of options from quick to fine dining.

Awesome family stay

What an awesome cottage to stay with direct access to the beach. We had a wonderful 7 nights stay (2 adults & 4 kids) early august 2024. Evening fires on the beach, exterior dinners on the deck. Full equiped cottage and wondefull host. AC helped to keep the cottage fresh during sunny summer days. Cottage was ultra clean at our arrival. Kids & adults made wonderfull memories here. We definitely recommand the cottage. Note 1 : mix of nice sand and some rocks on the beach so better to bring your shoes to enjoy fully the potential of the beach. Note 2 : The ocean is colder on that side of the bay. Note 3 : Few people fishing nice big fishs We were not equiped to fish but will definitely consider it if we come back one day.

About the host

Hosted by Kerry Oconnor

We are a blended family from New England and are now empty nesters. Most vacations have been spent at the Cape for years and we decided to plant our feet in the sand and have a special place to use and share with our friends and family and travelers who also enjoy the Cape.

Why they chose this property

There is something a bit magical about the place. It feels custom, private, a true beach get away but still stylish. We can drive to the cottage in a little over an hour from our home.

What makes this property unique

It is not just on the beach it is IN the beach!
