Our vacation home is perfect for family/friends vacations or gatherings, relaxing long weekends, exploring the Cape in connection with a visit to Boston, etc. Please be advised that ours is not a house for events, parties, or raucous, disruptive or destructive gatherings of any kind: such are specifically prohibited by our rules, and those of New Seabury and the Town of Mashpee. Ours is a well-maintained house in a very peaceful neighborhood and it must be maintained that way by our guests. Please reach out should you have any concerns about whether your plans are consistent with these rules. Thank you in advance.
Our sanitary protocols include: independent (passcode) check-in; thorough cleaning & disinfecting; high temperature laundering (on premises: we have 2 sets of large-capacity washers & dryers); ventilation (in addition to the natural breezes that can regularly enter through the numerous glass sliding doors and windows, the home is also equipped with 2 hi-speed ceiling fans); provision of hand sanitizer and Clorox cleaning supplies for guests.
We have recently: 1) added a 150,000 BTU natural gas fire pit ideal for year-round outdoor socializing; 2) upgraded our WiFi to extra-high speed (600 mbps); 3) installed a whole-house, standby backup generator so that the house will never lose any power, even in the event of storm-related damage to the Cape electric grid; 4) installed an extra refrigerator (21 cu. ft.) in the lower level to provide ample storage for weekly or longer stays; 5) added new decking to the walk-out, water-view patio below the deck; 6) added new furniture throughout the house, including the living room and bedrooms; and 7) added a new Saber high-end, stainless steel BBQ grill.
Escape to this idyllic, yet centrally-located, waterfront home with stunning views of Ockway Bay and its private dock, from its oversized deck. Located at the end of a private, dead end, street within New Seabury's Summersea Village, you will be overcome with a sense of peace and tranquility, punctuated by the sights and sounds of the salt water lapping in front of you as native waterfowl pass by.
Enjoy swimming in the warm waters flowing in from Nantucket Sound, as well as the benefits of boating and fishing off of your own private dock, which is large enough to accommodate boats up to 20-25', as well as the 8 kayaks and 2 children's paddle boards and 2 adult paddle boards, which are provided. Kayak (1.4 miles; about 30 minutes), boat or bike out to the Spit beach, or bike or drive (8 minutes; 3.2 miles) to the nearby and acclaimed South Cape Beach State Park. Several basic bikes are provided.
