Island Beach Home - Use of Kayaks, Paddleboard, Beach Gear!
Seconsett Island, Mashpee Vacation Rental - ID 25579

Welcome to our home on Seconsett Island where you will be surrounded by water wherever you stroll! Just four houses down (minutes walk) is the beautiful warm, sandy ocean beach of Waquoit Bay where you will find scallop shells, clams, oysters, hermit crabs, blue crabs, spider crabs, horse shoe crabs, shrimp, fish and more. Sit on the beach with your family, play in the sand, enjoy frosty beverages and take in the many passing boats, parasailers, kayakers and Martha's Vineyard in the distance. It's quick and convenient to walk back and forth from the beach to the house ~ especially if you have young children. While you're heading to the beach grab a rake and basket and join the many Quahogers digging up tonight's dinner (quohogs to make a batch of clam chowder!). Or meander over to Hamblin Pond and cast our crab trap - baited with crab favorites like bacon or chicken - and you will have Blue Crabs galore for dinner. Boil them up and dip into butter! Join islanders for ''happy hour'' to watch the incredible views of the sun setting over Washburn Island - it's a sight to behold.

Seconsett Island is truly a hidden destination and boaters' paradise. Drag our kayaks or paddleboard to the several launch access ways and amble around Hamlin Pond, Waquoit Bay, or explore the many inlets and rivers in the area! Paddle across Seconsett Island over to barrier, uninhabited beaches, like Washburn Island (part of the National Estuary), or paddle over to the back side of awesome South Cape Beach. If you're new to kayaking or an experienced kayaker this is the location for you. So much to explore ~ truly Island Living! If you have a boat, make arrangements with the marina in our back yard - Little River Boat Yard - for deep water access to the Bay and Nantucket Sound. The Vineyard is a quick 15 minutes door to door! Bike or walk around our island for a quiet stroll. The options on the island are endless. When you are done with the days activities wash off all that sand with our outdoor shower located in the rear of the house. Venture off the island and you'll find the Mashpee Commons 8 minutes away (Gap, Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, Lilly Pulitzer, Talbots, many quaint eateries, a movie theater, Starbucks to name a few) or drive in the opposite direction to explore all that Falmouth has to offer (have you visited The Knob in Quisset Harbor yet?!). The ferry to Martha's Vineyard is close by.

We hope you enjoy our home and island as much as we do. It's a pretty spectacular yet little known spot ~ just the way we like it! The house is clean (!), maintained, and well-cared for throughout the year. The house is fully equipped with Central Air to handle those hot summer days. The house itself has 2 full kitchens, 2 family rooms and 2 dining areas. Plenty of space for everyone and includes finely appointed amenities. There are 4 main bedrooms with 12 beds (1 sleep sofa) throughout the house. In one of two upstairs bedrooms, you will find 2 hidden trundle beds located beneath the twin beds. There is a queen-sized sleep sofa overlooking the main family room for extra sleep space. On the main floor you will find a master suite with shower and 3 full-size closets. Downstairs there is a queen-sized bedroom. Also located downstairs is a ''bunk room'' for additional guests. We provide soft sheets, bedding and pillows. We ask our guests to bring their own bath towels and beach towels. There is plenty of parking on-site with 2 seashell driveways (front of the house, rear of the property).

If you enjoy sunlight, then this is the home for you with a three-story window facing the water. Glimpse peeks of both Waquoit Bay and Hamblin Pond from our beautiful front deck while sipping your morning coffee. Or step onto the new architect-designed bluestone patio for relaxation. The bluestone patio also includes a custom-built granite fire pit for s'mores or open-coooking meals! There is an enclosed patio off the back of the house. Other activities available in the house include foosball, air hockey and a wii console. There are 2 flat screen TVs in the 2 family rooms, 1 flat screen TV in the master bedroom, and 1 flat screen in a guest bedroom -- all connected to Comcast. There are several traditional board games located in the front closet.
