2 Modern Homes. 5-Star Reviews. Walk to Priv Beach/Amenities
New Seabury, Mashpee, Poppy Vacation Rental - ID 16151

We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn't be better — right next to the path to the Popponesset Marketplace and just steps from the beach. We were in town for a wedding at the Popponesset Inn and loved being able to walk there easily. The weather was perfect, and we even enjoyed a beach stroll and a swim. Highly recommend

8 and 10 Wharf Ave was a fabulous setting for our family reunion! Situated right next to each other , the houses provided ease of opportunity to have meals together, play board games and do puzzles while also allowing for space and privacy. Both houses were very clean, and well stocked with the essentials to make for a very comfortable week. The location was perfect, a short walk to a beautiful beach and market place. The host was very responsive and helpful with questions. would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed here several times and always a great place to stay. Several nice upgrades since our last visit. Can't beat the location quick walk to beach and the marketplace.

Wharf Ave. houses are well equipped, and very comfortable! Love the private beach and easy walk to the Market Place. Kids took long bike rides with their parents most every morning. Lots of beach chairs and wagons for the beach. Great patios for relaxing and eating.

A perfect place for a family vacation! 12 of us, from the ages of 3 to 75, enjoyed a week of beach, sea, seafood, ponds, swimming, paddle boards, sand monsters and family meals. The two houses are just what we needed: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchens, great laundry facilities, tables to seat 12, and space for three little boys to spread out their Magnatiles and transformers. Don is the best of landlords, and Bob comes whenever we need help or advice. New Seabury is a friendly place with kindly neighbors, too. Warmly recommended!

These two houses were perfect for our family vacation and we had the best of times. Our party consisted of two grandparents with a caregiver, two sets of parents, one from London and the other from Brooklyn, and three little boys aged 4, 3 and 2. The over 40s had the smaller house in great comfort and the under 40s had plenty of space in the other. We ate at home every night: the kitchens are very well equipped and organized, and the two tables at the larger house, one inside and one outside, were perfect for family meals in any weather. Stop and Shop is an outsized supermarket which provided excellent fresh seafood, lobster steamed perfectly for our dinner, and a robot to alert management to spills, while Roche Brothers gave us all else we needed and the Marketplace was five minutes' walk away if we forgot anything from milk to muffins to cocktails. And then there was the beach, close enough for the 2 year old and the 80 year old with Parkinson's to walk there and back, perfect sand and warm water, and never too crowded.

Don, our host, and Bob, who looked after maintenance, could not have been kinder or more helpful. The neighbors were friendly too, and greeted us whenever we met them: it is a well managed community and a pleasure for us all to be allowed to vacation there.

Everything we needed for adults and grandkids in a quiet beautiful area. Short walk to pristine beach and Popponeset Market. Market has food, shops, drinks, mini golf and music. We brought bikes and the kids enjoyed bike rides to the spit and to the Market.

Rented the side by side homes for extended family location - great setup for families with children of all ages, lovely yard and outdoor eating area. Short walk to beach and other activities. Highly reccommend.

We had an amazing stay at the Wharf properties. We could walk or bike down a short wooded path to the marketplace for breakfast or in the evening for some live music. The beach is just a short walk as well. Kids rode their bikes. Plenty of space in the yard for some games. Overall an amazing experience!

We rented both cottages for our son's wedding during a beautiful long weekend in September. The set up was great! Fully stocked cottages an easy 2-3 minute walk to the beach and Popponesset Village. Everything was very neat and tidy too! The owner was very accommodating for our special weekend. We give it 5 stars and hope you have the chance to experience this special spot!

We rented this house as well as another property owned by Don for our groomsmen and bridal party for our wedding in New Seabury. From our very first conversation with Don all the way through to our Check-in and stay, Don could not have been more accommodating and hospitable to us. We were struggling to find houses large enough to accommodate everyone in our wedding as well as their spouses but this property as well as the Uncle Henry properties were exactly what we needed. The house is very up to date and modern. 2 minute walk to a private beach. We cannot recommend this house enough!!

We recently stayed at [these properties], and I just want to say that the properties were immaculate. We had 14 people for a family vacation to Cape Cod, and the two houses were perfect. A large lot with plenty of parking, a short walk to the beach and a short walk to the Popponesset Marketplace. The one minor issue we had (a smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night) was handled by both the owner and the local property manager quickly and with no fuss. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to any large group. My wife and I hated to leave.

Fantastic family vacation and many memories to bring home! We were looking for something that could suit 17 of us and these two properties combined couldn't have been more perfect! Both properties are clean, adorably decorated and full of everything you may need! A VERY short walk to the private beach was fantastic for coordinating nap times and down times as each family needed it. Biking and walking trails for all to enjoy and the downtown market with live music most nights is just a two minute walk away. Great for ice cream for the kids, mini golf, the most amazing lobster roll at the local restaurant. Golfing is also two minutes away but we did not play as we were just having too much fun relaxing on the beach. Don, the property owner, was MORE than helpful prior to and during our stay, extremely responsive and helpful for anything needed. I would highly recommend this vacation to anyone! Thank you, Don, for a wonderful trip!

Totally enjoyed our large family vacation at this property. There were 18 of us, ranging in age from 11 months to 84. Enough space for everyone to congregate together and eat together, and not feel on top of each other - at all. Totally casual and comfortable homes -- with air conditioners that worked perfectly. Easy to walk to the Beach and the Village, and the Poppy Inn is also a 4 minute walk away.

We literally barbequed 6 nights - and the grill is right off the kitchen. The homes are well stocked and easy to work in. And the living room/dining area of the main house worked for all to sit and eat together.

Finally, the owner and the property manager were both super helpful and made sure our entire group enjoyed the stay. Thanks again.

If you want the perfect CC vacation experience, this is it. This has to be the cutest/coolest neighborhood on the Island. And the House feels like the perfect complement. It's clearly all newly remodeled and beautiful with all the new age digital home, yet has the local and seasoned vibe of the area.

Perfect walking distance on a private path to the village (morning coffee and goodies, lunch burgers and options, dinner and raw bar options, activities and rentals for the family). Or point south and you're on the beach!

You'll be seeing me again soon!

Below is a string of 5 Star reviews we received on another website. These are all BEFORE our 2017 full renovation.

The close proximity of the two houses made it possible for us to get together with our whole family. We had lots of fun outdoor dinners and sports activities on the large property as well as memorable times and meals at the Poppanesset complex right up the path!

I stayed with my extended family in both cottages for a week. 7 adults and 5 kids (ages 1.5-9 years old) fit easily and comfortably in the houses. The rental process was extremely easy. It was reassuring to be in contact with the direct owner, who was patient and willing to answer all of our questions ahead of time. Each house has 3 bedrooms off the living quarters - one larger with a single big bed, and two smaller with two twin beds. The larger house also has a gigantic master suite with king sized bed, en suite bath, and a loft with tons of additional sleeping space, if needed. Both houses are bright and cheerfully decorated, but not so much that you can't easily make it feel like your own home away from home. The Popponessett marketplace is a 5 minute walk along a wooded trail - one part of a larger trail system that is great for getting a long walk in. The marketplace has everything you'd want - gift stores, ice cream, mini golf, restaurant/wine bar - just enough to be a fun place to go, but not over developed. The trail to the marketplace goes right past the property, so during "rush hour" you can hear people chatter, but it was always quiet by a reasonable time. Actually, the houses are probably the two most private places in Maushop Village (a private beach community on the edge of a golf course). There is a large flat lawn, which is awesome for the kids to run around. It was really easy to entertain - with the two grills and lots of seating. The beach is amazing for kids. It is a 5 minute walk, mostly on a paved path. The sand is soft, and there are enough shells to gather to keep the little ones interested (although not the biggest variety of shells). The water was so warm - probably close to 80 degrees. There are a few rocky patches, but once you get out a way it's completely sandy. The waves are easy to manage - not very high. You can stand in the water pretty far from shore. We definitely needed beach umbrellas (we used one from each house, provided with the rental) and we were happy we had brought our own beach tent - the sun is bright and there is little shade. The kids had a great time digging a giant hole and building sand castles. Between the houses, the proximity to the market and the beach - and the wonderful quality of both - we can't recommend this place enough. We hope to come back soon!

We have stayed at Don's property two year

Having both houses side by side made for a wonderful 2 weeks. Our family includes families with small children and a family with teenagers. The short, easy walk to the beach was perfect and there was always something for everyone at the Marketplace. The houses are at the end of street so there is no traffic which makes it nice for the kids to play as does the huge side yard. We've stayed at Don's properties for 2 years now and hope to return in the future. Don makes the booking process easy and both he and his property manager are always just a phone call away. Highly recommend as you won't be disappointed.

We had a great time at your property. What a great location, of your specific cottages at the end of the cul de sac... so near the beach and town, and well conceived organization of the two buildings and its privacy. Just wonderful. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, we rented both houses to attend a family wedding at the Popponesset Inn. The houses have all the amenities of home - kitchen, laundry, A/C and we all loved the outside showers. The yard is private and we enjoyed many mornings and evenings around the patio table. The beach is beautiful and clean. There are great trails to walk, run and bike. The neighborhood is very nice and relaxed. A big plus is the ample parking this property has compared to others in the area. The location is a short walk to the beach, the Popponesset Inn, and the Marketplace, we walked everywhere. Additionally, Mashpee Commons is a short drive away for shopping and dining. There are also a multitude of golf courses nearby.

We really enjoyed our time in Maushop Village and especially at these cottages. They were clean and had everything we needed - all the modern amenities with the true charm of the Cape. Wonderful location - within a few minute walk to both Popponesset Marketplace and a private beach. We were very happy with our selection and would definitely go back to these same cottages.

We have been renting these homes for the past six years straight and have enjoyed them tremendously. Our family loves the fact that the beach, the marketplace, the bike trail, mini-golf and great restaurants are all within a few minute walk. Yet, there is such privacy, safety and exclusivity to the area – it is just a perfect spot for families. And, the houses themselves are a great blend of old Cape Cod charm, plus they are spotless, fully updated and have all the modern amenities we need for a great vacation.
