Bourne, Massachusetts
The house is in Monument Beach, which is in the town of Bourne. Bourne is a quiet, accessible Cape Cod town that is 'off the beaten path' relative to more well-known towns. It is a classic wooden shingled house with a private beach. We have owned this house for 40 years, we are not property managers.
This house is NEVER rented on CraigsList but scams have been attempted - do not fall for it! Message us on VRBO if you have a question.
The house is relatively large, with a deep porch wrapping around half its perimeter, facing the beach. All of the bedrooms have picture windows, and three of the bedrooms have stellar water views while the fourth looks out on the park.
The house is situated on Phinney's Harbor, the first harbor south of the Canal on Buzzards Bay on the Cape side of the Bridge. It is a gorgeous harbor with warm water and terrific conditions for children, sailing, kayaking, and fishing. The house is West facing, and blessed with perfectly stellar sunsets.
Adjacent to the property is a park with a jungle gym, a basketball court, tennis courts, and a field adequately large for a pick-up baseball game. One appealing feature of the house is its accessible location. Due to its proximity (4 miles) to the Bourne Bridge, it is easy to get to. One can frequently make the trip to the house from Boston in less than an hour and a half, even on Friday afternoons. This means that if not everyone in the family is on vacation during the rental, everyone can at least be together in the evenings.
Although this is a lovely spot, our home is not available for weddings or parties of any kind.
Very relaxing and well equipped home. The home was well cleaned and cared for, provided the perfect stay with minimal fuss. The house and the views are better than the pictures, we will be back.
All was as advertised
Terrific property, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
8 family members and a new born gathered to celebrate our mother’s 80th Birthday. The house was perfect for the occasion. Roomy,clean, updated, great kitchen supplies and fully stocked with bed linens and plenty of towels. Water views were beautiful and the wrap around porch facing the water was beyond picturesque. We spent much of most of the weekend on the porch catching up, relaxing and playing games. It was also where we gathered for dinners ( from the delicious lobster trap) while watching the beautiful sunsets. The brother who lives next door was so friendly and popped by the first day while we were on the porch to answer any questions and to be sure we were set. We left feeling like we had found a hidden gem which made our time together and celebration all the more special. We hope to return in the future!
We had a great time here! We are two families with small children looking to get away for the weekend. The property is ON the water, bright, clean with its own beach and a playground next door! One can walk to ice cream, a bakery and drive 5 minutes down the road for lobster rolls. I would definitely stay here again. If for nothing else, the front porch and the sunsets.
Beautiful & family friendly vacation home!
The host, Joan, was exceptional in providing information, keeping us informed about changes in procedures due to Covid-19. She always responded quickly when we asked questions. The house was spotless. To reduce handling, clean linens, towels and pillows were in plastic bags on each bed. The well equipped kitchen had a Mr. Coffee and Keurig type coffee makers. Plenty of bowls, pots, dishes, glassware and silverware. Tablecloths for the large dining room table were also provided. Plenty of storage space in the cabinets for the items we brought with us. Our young grandsons loved the closet full of beach toys, and we loved the child safety gate at the top of the stairs. The closet also held the beach chairs and beach umbrellas. The photos of this house does not do it justice! The home has lots of space, so much so that we made one room the toy room. The bedrooms are a good size and although there is no air conditioning each bedroom had tower fans. The park next door has been redone and no longer has swings. It is more of a climbing playground for the 5-12 age group. My grandsons were happy to spend all their time on the beach playing in the sand. We even flew a kite on the lawn! The outdoor shower had warm water for quick shower to remove the sand each day. The neighborhood is very quiet with very limited street traffic. Parking is along the wall on the side of the house and we had enough room for 3 cars and a pickup truck. Bonus is the ice cream store and a bakery just a 5-minute walk from the house. This is a family owned home and extended members live next door and are available to answer any questions. This home was perfect and we had a hard time leaving. My 3 year old grandson kept asking if we could stay 5 more days. We told him we hope to return next summer!
Everything about our stay at this beautiful home was fantastic. It’s even more beautiful in person.
Great location for the entire family. Enjoyed the trip. Playground next door is great for the kids.
