Welcome to Time and Tide Cottage... Nestled along the enchanting Rendezvous Creek tidal area, this beautifully renovated 3 bedroom and 2 full bathroom home is your sanctuary of tranquility, a place where time slows, and life’s tides bring new joys with each season.

Begin your days basking in the sun and swimming at Millway Beach, a mere .48 miles away. As evening falls, venture into the heart of Barnstable Village, only .3 miles away, and indulge in its array of delightful diningoptions. For a waterfront experience, wander to the Mattakeese Wharf restaurant, where you can savor dinner as the twilight dances over the water. Just steps from your door, embark on a Whale Watch boat tour departing from the marina, adding a touch of adventure to your stay.

Inside, the cottage is a truly modern retreat that exudes charm and comfort. The main floor starts in the family room with vaulted ceilings, comfy seating and cable TV. Next comes the fully equipped eat-in kitchen with stainless appliances, gas stove and everything you need to cook and grill amazing meals. Right off of the kitchen is another living area with an additional cable TV and a desk (in case you HAVE to get some work done…) plus a full bathroom with attached laundry area.

There are two bedrooms on the main floor. The primary bedroom is by itself off the family room and features a private en-suite bathroom, a heavenly California king bed, great views and another work space in case you really need some where private to get work done, or just spend some time reflecting. The other main floor bedroom is on the other side of the home, off of the kitchen/living room and is perfectly appointed with double bed and tasteful decor. Ascend the spiral staircase to find the third bedroom, nestled in the eaves, offering a unique and whimsical hideaway with two twin beds and a lovely seating nook next to the windows. The main floor bedrooms have adjustable beds.

While the inside of the home is amazing, the outdoor space is peerless. Tucked behind a privacy wall, blocking you from prying eyes, is a magical oasis with different seating and entertainment areas complimenting different times of day. Watch the morning light grow while sipping your coffee in the smaller, lower seating area off of the deck. Swing away the afternoon with someone special on the two person wooden swing. Spend sunsets rocking away on the deck while sipping that first Cape Codder of the night. Evenings are for s’mores parties around the wood burning fire pit. Enjoy meals any time of day at the dining table, next to the gas grill.

Ductless AC units in all bedrooms and living areas ensure comfort during warm summer nights. A whole-house automatic generator provides peace of mind, ensuring your stay remains uninterrupted by unexpected power outages. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, conveniently managed with the beach pass provided, giving you free parking at Town of Barnstable Beaches.

Time and Tide Cottage is more than just a vacation rental; it’s a place where memories are woven with the ebb and flow of the tides, and each moment becomes a cherished part of your life’s journey.

The accommodations were comfortable, cozy and had all the amenities we needed to cook a few meals when we weren't going out to the nearby restaurants you could walk to! It was also walking distance to a resident only beach which had a perfect tidal area for our kids to look for minnows, horseshoe craps and skipping rocks. We will definitely return next summer!

We walked every morning into the village and every evening down to the beach. Waking up to the sound of birds and seeing bunnies and deer in the marsh was magical. The house was extremely clean and everything went smoothly. Looking forward to staying here again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Time and Tide Cottage was a perfect respite / recovery for a week at the end of July. The tidal marsh was fascinating to watch all hours of the day, colors of the grasses changing and bending with the rise and fall of the sun and wind. The serenity of the setting was enhanced by a number of different shire birds going about their business according to the time of day. The back yard with a tall privacy fence along the road, had several beautifully appointed seating areas including a wonderful swing, a large outdoor dining table, four delightful rocking chairs and another lower deck sitting area. The interior of the cottage is straight out of coastal living with beautiful touches of Nantucket all around. The furniture was all very comfortable and nicely arranged to accommodate everyone’s taste. The bedrooms were so cozy and comfortable as well with adjustable beds. The kitchen was very nicely appointed as well and it was a joy to prepare a few meals. The cottage is in a perfect location for a walk to the beach or the marina with 2 options for dining there or go in the other direction and walk to town. Adam was a wonderful host and we lacked for nothing. It was a perfect vacation

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time at Time & Tide, watching the tides over the marsh in the rocking chairs while the sun sets and moving to the firepit and overall just enjoying the charm and comfort of this cottage. They have thought of everything, it is extremely well appointed and very cozy, we would rent again and plan too! Its also a quick walk/bike ride to Matakeese Wharf and the beach as well as the Barnstable downtown, super convenient to whereever you might want to go - including Hyannis with all it has to offer. You will not be disappointed!
