For a Cape Cod getaway just a short walk to the beach, use our clean and beautiful air conditioned New Seabury home as your pivot point to see all of what makes this area enchanting. Safely nestled between Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, Nantucket sound, and Popponesset and Ockway Bays, this 4-bedroom (one of which is a sleeping loft), 3-bath house lives like home.
Sunny and airy, our large, well-maintained home has plenty of room for 8 to visit and eat together and enjoy private spaces and bathrooms as well. The wide-open, common spaces flow together for friends to visit indoors and out, cooking or relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped for any meal (it’s our family Thanksgiving hub) and all the appliances are brand new. Out on the deck, surrounded by pretty plantings and landscaped yard, there’s a grill (and outdoor shower!) for late afternoon and evenings at home. Sleep is restful in this quiet community, and all mattresses are new within the last 3 years. Each of the three bedrooms is comfortable and accommodating; the loft is perfect for kids with two beds; Bedroom #1 is upstairs, has a queen bed and bedroom #2 has a double bed; all have access to the full bath. Downstairs is the master bedroom with a queen bed and private bath. Bathroom #3 is located at the back of the house, along with the washer/dryer. The basement is newly refinished, with exercise equipment and a pool table.
It's a 5-minute walk to the Popponesset Spit, a barrier beach named one of the five best restored beaches in the nation and a great place to spend the day with kids or friends. Swim in the warmer waters of Nantucket Sound, see nesting Terns and Piping Plovers in their protected habitat, (owned by the Massachusetts Audubon Society and Save Popponesset Bay – no dogs or pets), bring your kayak or stand up board (you can rent them and get lessons or a guide!) or jet ski to the Ockway Bay landing just outside the entrance to New Seabury and then travel down the channel to the Spit or out to the Sound.
We are 5 miles from the larger South Cape Beach State Park, where there are toilet facilities and a snack bar. An hour’s drive up route 6 through Eastham, past lobster and clam shacks, takes you to the tip of the Cape (see the Pilgrim Monument!) and Cape Cod National Seashore in Wellfleet where there are dunes and waves, hiking trails and Mass Audubon’s Wildlife Sanctuary. Fifteen miles in the other direction takes you to historic Woods Hole, Buzzards Bay, and the ferries to Martha’s Vineyard. Mashpee is a twenty-minute drive to Hyannis and the Cape Cod Melody Tent where you can see Broadway musicals or individual performers.
There are many wonderful restaurants nearby, from the kid-friendly ''99'' to Bob's Seafood and the Raw Bar at the Popponesset Marketplace, just a few minutes away. The Lobster Roll is voted the best on Cape Cod! In New Seabury, be sure to make reservations at the Inn where you can look out at the ocean while dining or go to the country club for dinner and take in the golf course and ocean!
A quick drive to the Mashpee Commons finds a broad range of activities from bookshops to a bowling alley, markets, movies, and mini-golf. Dining options abound: from the popular Bobby Byrnes restaurant and pub and Panera, to the Greek Restaurant, Estia, Italian at Sienna, Tapas at Trevi, French at Bleu, pastries at Washashore bakery (the raspberry scones are to die for!), or fudge and ice cream at Gelfis, there is something for everyone's taste!
