We rent Saturday to Saturday only, thank you!

Gorgeous 3+ bedroom home on Bassett's Island. Property is 3 1/2 acres and includes 1/4 mile of your own private sandy beach loaded with shells for beachcombing, and lined with wild beach roses and beach grass. The house is directly on the water, with beach on all three sides - the entire peninsula is yours to enjoy. It is the perfect getaway for adults and kids alike!

The island is easily accessible by a 20 minute boat ride using two 12' and 14' Carolina Skiffs (provided). Renters must be familiar/comfortable with the operation of small outboard engines.

You'll have a large landscaped yard with red cedars, oaks, lily, hosta and herb gardens. Pick fresh chives for your omelet in the morning, or mint for your mojito in the evening. There are views of the bay and ocean in all directions, providing the opportunity to enjoy both magnificent sunrises and sunsets across the water.

The bright and sunny house is beautifully designed and built by a local craftsman builder, with water views from every room. Attractively decorated and tastefully furnished, it is a great place to relax and unplug. Inside, the clerestory living room is especially spacious and inviting. Outside, the large wraparound porch and comfortable chairs beckon you to sit and forget the clock.

While on an island, our house does have town water so you'll never have to worry about the uncertainties of a well. You'll have all the amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, high end Weber gas grill, fire pit, wood burning stove, smart television, DVD player and loads of board games. Three sea kayaks, one Sunfish sailboat, rubber raft with anchor and other water toys are included. Play bocce ball, stick ball, croquet and badminton in the spacious yard. Take a nap in the hammock. Sit and watch the water from a chair on the bluff. Enjoy a walk in the woods. Find that perfect shell on the beach. Unwind with an outdoor shower after your afternoon swim.

For those who still need to check in with work, high speed internet is available via a Verizon business router.

Linens and towels are provided. The house is well stocked with all the basic necessities, including toiletries in the bathrooms, and loads of dried spices, cooking oils etc. in the kitchen. The house will be cleaned, the yard, flower and herb gardens maintained and the beds made prior to your arrival.

The closest mainland towns include Sandwich and Falmouth with good restaurants, museums and activities the whole family will enjoy. The Shining Sea Bike Path and the Woods Hole Aquarium are both nearby. The Bourne Bridge is a ten minute drive, and the city of Boston and Logan Airport just an hour drive from this quiet part of the Cape.

The island is easily accessible by a 20 minute boat ride. Renters must be familiar/comfortable with the use of small outboard engines. Two open flat bottomed Carolina Skiffs (12 foot and 14 foot) with 15 horsepower engines, off island dock with parking, and two island out-hauls included with rental. Well behaved pets considered for multi-week rentals.

    This was our fourth trip to Basset Island, and it was just as magical, relaxing, and *disconnected* as always, I’m sure this won’t be our last visit! The house and the views are stunning, everything you need is provided, tons of outdoor games and activities. The boats to get around are a fun adventure for all ages, we love it all!

    Thank you so very much for such an incredible place to take our vacation. The house has everything- and then some. The sunsets were amazing. The check-in process with Alby and going out to the island for the first time was simple and informative. Check-out was a breeze and Jenny met us at the dock to say goodbye. Rod made a phone call to us when we were in need of some information for the skiffs after a couple of VRBO messages back and forth. No doubt, these hosts care a whole lot about their property and their guests- even our dogs. Honestly, we've never had such a well thought out vacation venue by a host. Wow! There are so many great things to say, I can't even come close to naming them all. We'll be back!

    We had a wonderful stay! The house and property were even better than described. The house was incredibly clean and stocked with everything (and more) that was needed for the week. Between the beach, boats, kayaks, outdoor games, board games, etc., there was always something fun to do. It was a truly unique experience to stay on the island but also not difficult to get to shore and explore some of the surrounding areas as well. Thank you for sharing this amazing property with us...we hope to be back in the future.

    There’s something magical about a Cape Cod island getaway—where salty breezes and ocean views become the backdrop for simple joys. We’ll always remember the sticky-sweet evenings of roasting endless s’mores, the laughter (and slight chaos) of attempting homemade ice cream, and the triumphant feeling of finishing that 20-mile bike ride together. These are the moments that turn a vacation into a treasure chest of memories.

    If you’re hesitating - BOOK IT NOW! The pictures completely undersell this place. It’s breathtaking. The house is amazing and has all of the household items you could want (and more) so you don’t have to pack much extra. The woodwork and high ceiling in the living room are incredible. The skiff/boat ride was fun and quick. The private beach is unbeatable for daily walks and feeling like you have your own little slice of Heaven. Alby (the property manager) and the hosts were wonderful with communication and answering any questions. The outdoor space is unmatched - expansive patio, outdoor shower, view overlooking the bay, comfortable seating, bird watching, a small trail to explore, and more! I cannot recommend this place enough and WILL be returning!!

    Great getaway! Wonderful chef's kitchen. Boats were perfect for getting on /off the island. Safe with wonderful views. Shells and beach walking was ideal every day. Wonderful home!

    This truly is a find, especially for those wanting something a little out of the ordinary with the seclusion of a private island that is only accessible by boat. We loved it! The house is so beautiful and comfortable and really is a well loved family vacation home that the owners graciously share with those of us lucky enough to rent it. And they have thought of everything needed to make your stay comfortable. We loved the beach and hunting for seashells, the hammock, the large, comfy porch and of course boating to and from the island. Bassetts Island is a memorable, special place!
