About this property

The perfect fall rental, this cottage with a water view of Buzzard’s Bay offers a beautiful spot to relax. The cottage has heat and A/C and looks out over association beach and a protected bay. Sip coffee in your living room or from the Adirondack chairs on the lawn looking out over rolling grass to a beautiful water view, walk the beach to the stone jetty at the mouth of the Pocasset River, stroll Tahanto Road along the water to the association dock at low tide to swim or see the sunset or just relax in the grassy backyard on the hammock watching the boats. Take a short drive to enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening at the Chart Room at Kingman Marina or sample clam chowder and lobsters at the Lobster Trap. Or just fire up the Weber Grill for your own BBQ. Take an excursion on the ferry from Woods Hole to Martha's Vineyard for the day, rent bikes along the Shining Sea Path in nearby Falmouth or just relax at your cozy, peaceful Cape Cod oasis. Just 3 miles from the Bourne Bridge, this property provides the best of being on "Cape time' without the crowds or traffic of other parts of the Cape.

Perfect Fall week on The Cape

Charming cottage with lovely water view. Queen bed and set of twins were as comfy as they were pretty. Did not choose to cook, but tiny kitchen was sufficient for those who might choose to do so. The home was impeccably maintained. Met nice neighbors during our walks. Location great for exploring. Thanks!

Very nice small house with great outdoors with a direct view of Buzzards Bay. Access to the water is a very short walk. Relaxing in the hammock is a wonderful respite from city life.

Relaxing Family Summer Getaway

Our family of four stayed at this charming cottage for two weeks in July. The cottage had everything we needed, was clean upon our arrival, was nicely decorated, and very comfortable. The check in process was easy and the communication with our host Greg was great. He was very responsive. The location was perfect for us. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, offering beautiful water views and convenient beach access. It is located a short drive from several area amenities. We also utilized nearby hiking trails and biked along the canal. It was an ideal getaway for us; the perfect mix of relaxation and activity.

Amazing weekend in Cape Cod!

This cozy cottage is in a quiet, beautiful and picturesque little waterfront village. My husband, our yellow lab and myself enjoyed watching the sunset from the table in the back yard. The location was perfect for day trips to Martha’s Vineyard, Falmouth and Woods Hole. There are lots of little trails near by. The Lobster Trap restaurant nearby was great for take out. Furniture in the cottage was well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Our dog Willow would have stayed for life had we let her. Thank you for sharing your little slice of the Cape with us.

The perfect work-cation

We were lucky enough to book this stay for most of the summer and it was a dream stay, the house was the perfect size for us and had all of the comforts of home in a much quieter neighborhood. If you look at the pictures before booking there will be no surprises, the bathroom is a tight fit! That's the closest I can come to a complaint, Greg was an exceptional host and very communicative. Next time there's a job on the Cape, I know exactly where my first choice will be. Thanks, Greg!

Best secret on the Cape!

We could not have had a more perfect long term rental experience during our stay here. The owners are lovely individuals who are very responsive and helpful, but keep privacy in mind as well. The adorable house looks exactly like the pictures and it was perfect for us. You are close to so much on the Cape, which we had so much fun exploring, but also have your own little private beach to relax and swim in. The neighborhood is full of really nice people and amazing sunsets along the beach and seen from the house. We were so fortunate to find this and can't wait to come back!

On a green hill overlooking the sea

The cottage is small, bathroom is tiny, decoration is fanatstic beach style and personal. Perfect outdoor shower and good gas grill. Super-clean and everything works. Very hospitable reception by our host, made us feel most welcome. From the cottage it is a three-minute walk (through the neighbor’s garden 😎) to the pebbly beach. At high tide you can swim, at all other you can just enjoy the water - and probably walk across the bay! The atmosphere of Tahanto is very relaxed, you could imagine just watchting the tides change all day long, the view is never the same. It is a small neighborhood, with friendly people,the beach is theirs, so it is always quiet. The garden is shady with trees, there are no fences, the lawn just rolls into the next one, which feels very friendly (but not totally private); we loved that feel. There are mosquitos, so spray well! The coast road on this side of Cape Cod is very scenic, nice restaurants both ways. Closest store in Gray Gables.

Not as expected

Property is listed as beachfront but it’s definitely not an easily accessible beach nice for swimming. Garden is tiny with weird property line & we weren’t quite sure if we were trespassing despite us trying to be very respectful of neighbors very close by. Bathroom was impossible to get undressed- unreasonably small. Positively- Greg was very responsive, allowing our medium size dogs. Still a restful vacation which we wanted. Great location to explore Cape Cod.

Great little cottage

We loved our week at this cottage. Location was great, house and grounds were immaculate, owner (Greg) was very accessible and accommodating, grill worked perfectly, and neighbors were friendly. Perfect for a small family and great location for day trips to other parts of the cape. Three minute walk to a private little beach that the cottage overlooks which our two year old daughter loved. We usually had it all to ourselves. We were very sad to leave but felt truly relaxed.

Great Place to Stay to Explore the Cape!

This was our first trip to the Cape and loved staying at Greg's cottage. It has a beautiful view in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to great restaurants, shops and towns. The bathroom is really small but the cottage was very clean, cozy, and comfortable for us. Greg was very easy to communicate with and he provided a notebook with things pertinent to the area. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket and other amenities that were provided. Towels, bedding, blankets were plentiful along with a well stocked kitchen.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean. Very well equipped. Love the location. Very responsive owner. The bathroom is very, very small. Property does not have direct beachfront property lines. In the photo, the property line ends and there is another home’s property between you and the beach. Very short walk down the road and through to the beach though. Description indicates oceanfront but ocean view would be more accurate. Owner specified this before reservations were made though. Overall a great experience.

This is our second year staying at this adorable cottage. The cottage was impeccably clean, well stocked and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors very friendly. You are walking distance to a shell filled beach and the evening sunsets are beautiful. My husband and I would recommend Greg’s cottage for anyone looking for a nice relaxing vacation.

Beautiful property right on the water

We had a wonderful time staying at this cottage. It was well equipped including bedding and towels unlike many of the rentals in the area. The location allowed us easy accessibility to other areas on the Cape we wanted to explore. It was only a twenty minute drive to the ferry landing for Martha’s Vineyard. We enjoyed walks on the beach in the evenings, and several of the local restaurants are fantastic! Greg checked in on us to make sure everything was going well and to help in any way. Our first trip to Cape Cod was wonderful and if we ever make it back we would definitely stay here again!

Great Cape Cottage

We stayed 7 nights in early June of 2018. We were looking for a place with a beach cottage feel and we were not disappointed. The cottage was clean, well decorated, and the kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances, pots & pans, utensils, plates, silverware, etc. that you would need. That includes, Kuerig coffee maker, a griddle, waffle maker and a lobster pot. (We heated water for our lobster inside, and then brought the pot outside to the gas grill and cooked them out there.) Greg, the owner, had everything we needed to know very well mapped out and provided us with plenty of info. for shopping, restaurants and other local activities. He was very friendly and professional in every aspect of our stay. There were a few cons to the cottage: The mattress in the master has a sag in the middle, causing my wife and I to both roll toward the center of the bed; it wasn't the worst for sleeping. Upstairs, one of the mattresses was not comfortable for my daughter (twin bed closest to middle of upstairs). Both cases, not a deal breaker by any means. Another con is the size of the bathroom; it's just small! They made good use of the space they had to work with, it just gets tight. The shower is plenty roomy, and the bathroom itself is updated and clean. The cons noted would not keep us from returning to this cottage again. There was so much to like about our stay that those issues were easily overcome. As I try to find the words to help others get a feel for this place, I think it comes down to everything was clean and pleasant, had a nice view of Buzzards Bay that we spent hours staring at from either the living room window or from the back yard (outdoor table, chairs & umbrella!) The beach is easily accessed with a short walk down the road. Beach is fairly rocky, but you can find sandy areas if you look around at low tide. It wouldn't let me do half stars; otherwise I would have given it a 4 1/2 rating!

Very cute cottage with a great location

We just returned home from a wonderful stay in this charming beach cottage. The cottage is very clean, and the owner definitely knows how to make guests feel at home. Our 4 year old son had the time of his life at the private beach (3 minute walk) trying to catch crabs and little fish. It was very convenient not to have to pack up the car and drive to a beach. The location was perfect for us. We took our son to the Cape Cod Children's Museum (15 minutes away) and to Edaville Family Theme Park (30 minutes away). There are a few restaurants nearby.. and Falmouth is only 20 minutes away. The water view from the backyard and picture window is very relaxing, and the neighborhood is quiet and filled with friendly people. We definitely recommend staying here, and we hope to return!

About the host

Hosted by Greg

We've lived in the greater Boston area for 20 years. My wife and I have enjoyed Cape Cod for most of our lives. We recently purchased this charming cottage overlooking a private beach and protected bay. It is the perfect place for our family and our children love the area.

Why they chose this property

We love this location given the beautiful view and sunsets. The private beach just steps away is accessible by a one-of-a-kind tiny footbridge. We love strolling the beach and walking to the point of the stone jetty at the mouth of the Pocasset River to watch the boats come and go. It is also a terrific fishing location to catch a stripped bass. The cottage has a beautiful backyard and lawn and is set up on a bluff overlooking the beach and bay. You can also go quaohoging (clamming) at low tide in the shallows right off the beach. There are many fun water-related activities you can enjoy while staying at this serene location.

What makes this property unique

The beach is the perfect place to launch kayaks, pull up a boat for a day trip, or just relax with your feet in the water. You can also enjoy the sun in the backyard reading a book or sipping a glass of wine taking in the gorgeous view. The private association is filled with families and you are sure to get many a friendly smile as you stroll Tahanto Road along the water.
