East Sandwich, Massachusetts
Quintessential Cape experience. Just off of historic route 6A, this cozy, but roomy beach house sits surrounded by dunes on a beautiful, private stretch of East Sandwich beach. Barrier beach with saltwater marsh behind and Cape Cod Bay at your doorstep. Dunes and position of house relative to neighboring beach houses give privacy and sense of seclusion. Sandy path through dunes spills out onto your private sandy beach. Second floor deck provides panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay and the entire beach. The three second floor bedrooms all have ocean views and sliders to deck. Living room has fireplace.
Easy access to all Cape has to offer, just minutes to two 18 hole golf courses, restaurants, shopping and antique shops. A perfect Cape vacation spot.

Great location right on the ocean. Please note if you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, getting to ocean may be a challenge as you have to walk over a small dune and the view is from the magnificent upstairs balcony. Great sunset views every night! Watched 4 seals by the marsh outlet. Saw striped bass in the water. Lots of crabs too.
The quintessential beach house, comfy, inviting, and well loved. Coffee in the morning and sunset dinners on the upper deck were phenomenal! Set in a sand dune, you knew you were at a beach house, so be prepared to live with sand everywhere. Was thoroughly enjoyed by humans and doggos.
Great stay in Cape Cod! House was great for our 4 adults and 3 kids. You cannot get closer to the beach, that is for sure! It took some deep breathing and letting go of clean expectations to live with the constant sand, but that's the beach, right?! The owner was wonderful to work with. Responded quickly to my questions during the booking process. Than you, Jay for sharing your home!
This property is not expensive for beachfront, but the downside is that it needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance. The everyday issues are all taken care of-bathrooms and kitchen are clean, etc., but you can smell definitely smell pets, and there is a lot of sand and pet hair. There was a bucket catching a slow leak in one of the bathrooms. That said, this property provides a fascinating perspective on the beach. It is sited IN the dunes, so that from the lower level you are surrounded by dunes on three sides. You can’t really see the ocean from the lower level, but it feels like being in a hobbit house. We loved the experience. The location is also interesting because you are facing the ocean, but a short walk along the beach also takes you to a gorgeous salt marsh. We were there in October, and we had campfires on the beach at sunrise and sunset, as well as a glorious dinner on the second story deck one evening. There are a lot of bedrooms for the space, so a lot of us were able to work remotely during parts of our stay. Overall, I will never forget spending a week with family in the dunes at Cape Cod.
7 adult family members stayed at this lovely, comfy home for 7 nights. The house technically sleeps 10, but we all agreed that 10 would have felt really tight! We absolutely loved the beach, especially the sand bars at low tide and the nearby channel for floating. The 2nd floor deck was perfect for dinners and sunset viewing. We had a beach fire one night and saw fireworks at a neighboring property, which was a fun surprise! The first 4 days were super hot, so fortunately there were plenty of fans available, in addition to the ones we brought from home. Parking is tight, but we made do with parking spaces that were available on the street. We had trouble with the refrigerator on the first day, but Jay got right after it and resolved the issue quickly. All in all, we loved this quintessential Cape Cod beach home and would definitely return!
You couldn't ask for better beach access and even on the hottest sunniest week-end of the summer the beach was basically private. The house is definitely shabby chic but has the important basics: comfortable high-quality beds, great hot showers (including outdoors), a well stocked kitchen and a gorgeous deck. There are 5 true bedrooms so no one sleeping on a pull-out! And our well-behaved dogs had a great week too! Jay is a super responsive host.
Location was wonderful. The house is nestled in the dunes, which means its sandy. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms all clean. Would rent again!
A true beach house with good bones. Having a working fireplace in the house and the capability for nightly beach fires is a real treat. Parking can be a challenge. But once you're there you don't want to leave.
This beach gem is hidden in the sand dunes. The deck across the second floor became our living and dining space. Each of the three couples had their own private access to the deck and their own private bath. The outside shower was primary for bathing. The house is beside the public beach trail but the house had its own beach path from the back door. The solar lights lit our way at night. Parking behind the house is limited to three cars. The extra small refrigerator was greatly appreciated.
We had a great family vacation at this house, right on the beach with amazing panorama of Cape Cod Bay from the expansive upper deck. We were longing for some quiet time with our adult children, a chance to reunite and enjoy each other again in these crazy days. We felt quite safe on this beach, which is essentially private. We did have one issue with a malfunctioning refrigerator, and Jay the owner brought over a mini- fridge to tide us over until appliance repair could be facilitated. It was one example of this owner’s outstanding responsiveness. Thank you, Jay!
