Wedding fun

My son got married in Scituate and his in laws stayed at 8 Oceanside...the lighthouse. It was nice to be so close and the house was lovely. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The house is fully stocked with a great back porch and patio overlooking the ocean. Nice that the cars are parked behind the house and not exposed to the ocean spray.

Very clean and Cozy

The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We took the Ferry to Boston twice, which was very fun for our 4 and 6 year old. We also went down the road to Pegotty beach which was very nice.

Great house with ocean views!

We had an amazing stay here! There are beautiful ocean views from the living room, deck, and two of the bedrooms. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and spotless. They had everything we needed- the word that kept coming to mind was "well-appointed." Every time I thought "I wonder if they have a....(kitchen implement, etc.)" they always did. Communication with the hosts was great. They always responded quickly, and proactively reached out to us when there was local news that might impact us (possible incoming storm, etc.) Can't recommend highly enough- would love to stay there again!

Chillaxing

I needed a break from work and the yellow cottage by the ocean was perfect. It’s a lot larger than it looks and the view is amazing. The sound of the waves crashing and sitting on the covered porch was great when the sun got hot. The AC and ceiling fans were greatly appreciated when the humidity kicked up. Our hosts thought of everything but we couldn’t find the fire pit which wasn’t a big deal. The kids played games, corn hole and explored the rocks. Thank you so much for a wonderful week!!!

Perfect house on the ocean!

Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful house on the ocean. Fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Woke up to beautiful sunrises and drank coffee on the back porch watching the ocean. Even enjoyed a seal that would come every day and float out in sight of the house. Everything was clean and well stocked with things that we would need. Communication with our hosts was always easy and they got back to us quickly with any questions. There was a little concern about hurricane Lee coming close and they were accommodating if we needed to change our stay and let us know where things were if we needed them. Would highly recommend this house if you are wanting to stay in the area. We would definitely stay here again if and when we come back to the east coast. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Breathtaking sunrises!

My family and I vacationed in this home the end of summer. I’m not a morning person but this house changed that with the spectacular sunrises. Never been to Scituate before but the town is amazing and everyone is SO nice! Super close to many attractions and even took my boys to a baseball game at Fenway one night. Only challenge are the rocks if you have toddlers.

Beautiful and Pristine

What an incredibly welcoming place! We spend a week with our kids and grandchildren every year and I don't think we've ever been in a house that felt as much like a home and as little like a rental as this one did. It was absolutely beautiful, with everything we could possibly need. We had beautiful weather for the most part, and happily spent it on the patio and in the rocks. There were several good restaurants just a short drive away, and we really enjoyed the lighthouse and its jetty.

Great house on the water

Stayed here with my husband and 2 children. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful views. Owners were very responsive - we had to delay our arrival 1 day due to a storm and they were great in accommodating different check-in/check-out times.

Perfect Family Getaway!

We loved every minute of our vacation! We spent all of our time relaxing and playing on the back patio overlooking the ocean. This house has everything you need and the location is perfect. We brought way more stuff than we needed to - the house was well stocked. Advisory for families with young children - the ocean was too rough for our toddlers to swim right at the house, but other beaches are just a short walk away. The beach is very rocky so not perfect conditions for toddler (sand) play but they had countless hours of fun on the patio using the rocks to make a mini golf course, load them into their dump trucks and coloring them with markers! There is also a stand up paddle board and paddle boat for use. Most nights were spent roasting marshmallows around the fire. The neighbors on both sides were so incredibly kind and welcoming. One of the most relaxing vacations we’ve had with our children; we are already looking forward to rebooking again next year!

What a wow! The house, the location, the view, the hosts... we will be back! We stayed at the house during Covid and everything was VERY clean so we felt very safe. The house and beach had everything we needed so we barely had to leave! The host went above and beyond with the details. We have a 1 year old and she ensured we had a pack a play, high chair, baby gates, baby pool, even baby proofing for the cleaning cabinets! This house was a perfect family get away. Highly recommend!

This beautiful home had amazing views of the ocean. It was tastefully decorated, had an updated kitchen, was very clean, and had comfy bedrooms. We loved the cozy, comfortable feeling that we had from the moment we stepped inside. The house had everything we could possibly need.

This cozy cottage is a short drive to many New England tourist attractions.
Home is available from May thru Oct.

What makes this property unique

We try to keep the home well stocked, including condiments, spices, paper products cleaning, supplies, soaps and detergents. All you really have to bring is food and clothes! And there is also a grocery store nearby if you'd like to food shop after arrival
You can go fishing or crabbing right from the private beach.
Don't forget your water shoes.
