30 STEPS TO BEACH WITH STAIRS ON SEAWALL
Marshfield, Brant Rock Vacation Rental - ID 24593

Sometimes it's difficult to find smaller beachside homes, much less one within steps of the beach, so I felt like I hit the jackpot when I found Mary's listing in Brant Rock. I was fortunate to book this home for 4 weeks in the summer of 2020 for some much needed peace and restorative salt air.

This home is a perfect size for a couple or small family. It is clean and updated with plenty of AC to beat the heat. I slept most nights with the windows open so I could hear the crash of the waves. While it is a small home, my teenage children felt like they had enough space and privacy in the large loft bedroom with the best views in the house. Brant Rock beach changes with the weather. Sometimes glassy calm, sometimes nice sized waves. The amount and size of rocks and the placement of the sand changed dramatically over my one month stay. Bring some water shoes and you'll be ready for anything.

Some of my favorite memories: watching my teenage son skipping rocks for hours on the beach or enjoying exploring the jetty as the tides shifted, starting each day with my coffee on the small balcony overlooking sea grasses and the sea, floating on a blow up mattress on a hot day with my arms dangling in the cool ocean waters, being a short walk from hand made ice cream, fried clams and lobster rolls at the restaurants in Brant Rock and doing my Zoom meetings from the deck on the seawall because the FIOS Wifi was just that good.

Mary is a lovely landlord who was responsive to questions and any small problems I had. She is a wealth of information about the area and gives off a fun and welcoming vibe from the moment you rent from her.

Marshfield is a great location if you need to get into Boston easily and there are tons of walking trails and nature areas to explore. It's also an easy drive to the Cape if you want some different beachy scenery. I barely left Brant Rock at all in my month's stay (except for regular drives to the Dairy Queen in Marshfiled for Blizzards, of course) and the 4 weeks flew by. I'm already booked for a few weeks next summer as well and I can't wait. show more show less

Love this place! Such a great value, just steps to the beach. I loved having coffee on their private little deck overlooking the ocean. My husband and I enjoyed having at least 4 restaurants and shops within walking distance. Everything is new, fresh and clean in the house. My kids loved fishing and jumping off the jetty. Owner made it easy to book and kept me informed all the way through the process. We'll be coming back next year.

This was the first time my family rented a beach house, and we were not disappointed! Mary, the owner, although we never got a chance to meet her, was very hospitable and friendly. We had a little hiccup with 1 of the upstairs trundle beds our first night, and the next day she had a handyman in there to fix it up for us. I loved that this house was modernized as well - it was very clean and well-kept. The beach is quite enjoyable, and literally about 30 steps away. That was important to us - to be right on the beach. It makes things so much more relaxing. It almost appears to be a private beach during the week, but can get a bit crowded on the weekend days. It is also quite rocky, so be sure to bring water shoes if you plan on going in the water! Although we spent most of our time on the beach, there are plenty of things to see and do around the area. We did venture to Plymouth one day and tried a few of the local restaurants. Would highly recommend this rental! show more show less

I just wanted to say thank you to Mary. This place is clean , beautifully decorated and welcoming. The first floor bedroom is large and comfy, my son and 4 friends had the upstairs which was huge with two trundle beds and lots of room to move around plus a little sitting area right at the top of the loft. Then outside is a small deck to sit and a grill and lounge chairs and a table to eat outside. Then you walk up the path to a deck overlooking the water and stairs that lead to to the beach and a short walk to the jetty, where you can fish off or just walk out on. There is also a small market in walking distance, a breakfast place and three restaurants. The Jetty bar and grill usually has live bands. I just can’t even tell you how great it is to have everything right there! Thank you for renting to us. We will continue to return every year if possible! I would highly recommend this beautiful place. show more show less

What an amazing find! We showed up early and met the owners, Dave and Shannon. I cannot tell you how wonderful and hospitable this couple was!

The house was spectacular and literally 30 seconds from the beach! It had everything anyone could have needed for our week long stay. Tastefully decorated and had wi fi and cable. Also our vacation neighbors were wonderful! Everyone in this subdivision was very welcoming and open arms if we needed anything. We met some lovely families.

We didn't want to leave and only left the house to get pizza (across the street) and do laundry (also across the street).

It was literally hands down the best vacation we've taken! Pretty sure hubby is working on a way to secure next year's vacation too! Don't let this gem pass you by... It's amazing! show more show less
