Description

Description

Enjoy the peace and quiet of a private, secluded island to rest, relax and restore your spirits. From the large deck and many windows, you will enjoy stunning water views. Watch the many osprey soar over the house, sailboats and windsurfers on the bay and ships transiting the Cape Cod Canal. The southwest breeze off the water rushes through the trees, offering a refreshing and invigorating salt air that means your vacation has begun.

Tobey Island is quiet and secluded. Easy to reach and only 63 miles from Boston's Logan airport and a quick 4 miles from the Bourne Bridge. It is a world away from mini golf, tee shirt shops, tattoo parlors, smoke shops, roadside stands and traffic.

Accessible by a small bridge, the property is on a point and is the last house on the island road. You will be surrounded by nature and can explore the shoreline by foot or kayak and swim or fish the beaches and two docks. We routinely catch Striped Bass in the salt water pond along with flounder, sea bass, mackerel and scup from the docks or by kayak or boat. Ask for photos and we'll also share fishing spots

A path on our property leads to a spit of land to explore the adjacent Little Tobey Islands at low tide. You are welcome to use our five (5) kayaks and life preservers. Two of our kayaks are beautiful Old Town tandems and the remaining three are singles allowing seven guests to kayak together at the same time. Favorite paddles include exploring the islands, picnics on the beach at Mashnee or trips to Eel pond. A fun adventure is to paddle to The Lobster Trap restaurant for lunch or dinner.

If you enjoy birdwatching, you are in for a treat as you'll see Osprey, egrets, herons (including Great Blue), Cormorants, Kingfishers, terns, plovers, and many other shore birds all over the island. Great Horned Owls and Barn Owls are frequently heard and sometimes seen. We are also seeing Bald Eagles fly over the island. On occasion, we have spied harbor seals sunning themselves on the rocks at low tide.

Bring your own motor or sail boat and store the trailer on the property. There is a nearby public boat ramp, fueling dock and our mooring buoy is available (for boats up to 28 feet) so you can sail, fish, waterski or motor throughout Buzzards Bay. Bring your boat to either of our private docks to embark people and supplies. Interested in trailoring your boat - contact us for more info.

Unlike some areas of the Cape, the shallow waters of upper Buzzards Bay are warm throughout late spring/summer/fall and perfect for swimming. The beaches on-island and at Phinney's Harbor are protected from large waves and heavy surf and are great for families with children. After rinsing off in the enclosed outdoor shower, you can relax and savor the views from the deck, hammock or sky chairs. Enjoy a backyard game of cornhole, ladderball or whiffleball or play tennis on the island’s clay court. If you enjoy pickleball, we can point you to where and when the local community plays in either Monument Beach, Pocasset or Cataumet.

Filled with light, all of the rooms have large windows, most with shoreline views of Buzzards Bay. This four bedroom, two bath home is fully air conditioned, 100% solar powered and sleeps 9 comfortably. The two upstairs bedrooms have queen size beds and the downstairs bedrooms have two and three single beds respectively. The house is equipped with a porta-crib, high chair, nice walking/jogging stroller and a backpack for carrying your young one. With two large indoor living areas, your family can enjoy time together or spread out. The downstairs family room offers great water views as well as a flat screen TV with X1 Xfinity cable, DVD player and sofas.

With generous seating, including two outdoor dining tables, 8 chairs, 2 chaise lounges and a 26 foot bench, the elevated deck offers spectacular views and easily accommodates a gathering. Enjoy a grilled meal using either the gas or charcoal grill. The lawn offers a beautiful, shaded sitting area overlooking the water with 8 more chairs and 2 chaise lounges. Enjoy a shaded hammock or the sky chairs suspended from the deck. The yard offers plenty of room for cornhole, whiffle ball, spike ball, ladderball, ''Rogue Bocce,'' badminton or croquet.

In addition to beaches on Tobey Island, it is an easy walk to a free, public beach nearby at Phinney’s Harbor. Offering a public boat ramp, Phinneys Harbor also provides a fueling dock, free showers and restrooms and is home to Bourne Community Boating (BCB) which offers summer sailing school and other boating opportunities for children and adults. Summer Sailing School for children is extremely popular and an easy 5 minute walk from the house. Generations of Tobey Island children have enjoyed Sailing School and if your family enjoys sailing, be sure to consider this as a bonus opportunity for your stay.

The village of Monument Beach, one mile away, offers a park and four public tennis courts, post office, ice cream shop, bakery, pizza parlor and a paddlers shop with rentals. Within three miles you can find the Bourne Braves of the Cape Cod Baseball League, two small grocery stores, the Cape Cod Canal bike path and visitor center, the Bourne Public Library, the carousel at the Aptucxet Trading Post Museum, hardware, seafood and liquor stores, and numerous restaurants including favorites such as the Lobster Trap, Chappaquoit Grill, Silver Lounge and Chart Room. Falmouth, Woods Hole, Hyannis and Mashpee are all within a half an hour. If you wish to go further afield, the Whaling Museum in New Bedford is excellent as are the Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth and Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

If you enjoy a private, peaceful, and natural setting to relax, escape to Tobey Island!

    Tobey Island Paradise

    We had a great stay at Martha and Brian's Tobey Island home. The area is very quiet and secluded. We live in the country in central NY. We appreciated that there was no noise, no lights, and a lot of nature to observe. The home was fine for our family of 4. Plenty of room to spread out, relax on the spacious deck or in the suspended chairs under the deck. A hammock suspended between 2 trees is very comfortable. Reading material and games to suit many different tastes are available.
    The house has everything you need. Enough pots/pans, dishes, glasses to feed a large group. An assortment of spices and other incidentals that we didn't think to bring were provided. Plenty of towels, including beach towels, are there to use. Everything was clean and fresh. Multiple AC split units kept us cool at night. The bathrooms, original to the house, could use updating but everything worked. Brian mentioned renovations are planned for the future.
    The ocean was a short walk away. Low tide was a great time to walk around Tobey Island and see what washed up. The last week of September and the water was warm enough to spend hours swimming or snorkeling. A lot of oysters, quahogs, crabs and small shrimp delighted our granddaughter. The water is calm and sheltered for the most part. Numerous kayaks are provided, along with life vests.
    There was plenty to do nearby. Restaurants, Woods Hole, gift shops were all within a short drive. There is a train station if you don't want the hassle of driving into Boston for a game or the aquarium.
    Again, we thoroughly enjoyed our week on Tobey Island. Brian and Martha are exceptional hosts and very responsive to your needs. Privacy was greatly appreciated. Location, location, location! The location was premium.

    Michael and his family were an absolute pleasure to host! Personable, inquisitive, interesting and conscientious they were ideal guests and contributed greatly to our best summer yet. They actively pursued a variety of activities in the water and along the island's shoreline. In fact, Michael was our first guest to snorkel around the island to explore and find a variety of aquatic plants and animals. They actively sampled the area restaurants and took advantage of great prices for fresh lobster at a local store. In fact, Michael mentioned afterwards that they loved the lobster so much that they brought lobster home after their vacation ended. We were very fortunate to meet and get to know this family and would be honored if they were able to return in the future.show moreshow less

    Great Stay on Tobey Island!

    We loved our stay on Tobey Island! Overall a great experience!! A bottle of wine was waiting for us upon arrival. The hosts were very responsive and accessible during our stay. The house was clean and as described, and the water view from the deck was wonderful. We took several kayaking trips around the island and even saw some
    Ospreys! Our 2-year old had a blast building sand castles on Monument Beach, which is a short walk from the house. Truly a wonderful trip! Many thanks to the hosts for making our trip a relaxing and joyful one!! show more show less

    Sue, her family and friends were wonderful guests! They are experienced Cape Cod vacationers, know the Upper Cape well, and arrived ready to enjoy themselves. It was a pleasure to meet them and we found them to be very friendly and responsible during the entire rental process from inquiry to departure. They took advantage of great weather to spend time on the water, shoreline and beaches. We really like Sue and her family and would be honored to have them return as guests in the future.

    We loved our stay at Tobey Island. Perfect escape, lots of outdoor time and comfortable indoor time. House is well equipped for a family and the back deck is wonderful. We are so grateful for our time and hope to return next summer.

    Amy and her family were a pleasure to have as guests! They did a great job planning their vacation and were well-prepared to enjoy themselves on and off the island. Swimming, kayaking, beach combing, cycling and enjoying grilled meals on the back deck kept this family going all week long. Super responsible and easy to work with, we would be delighted to have this family return in the future.

    Memorable Vacation on Tobey Island!

    After vacationing on the Cape for about 35 years, we thought we had experienced everything our favorite area had to offer. Boy, were we wrong! Who would have thought that after going over the Bourne Bridge and then crossing a tiny bridge that there was an enchanted wooded island full of beauty, fun, and adventure.
    Our family of 7, including 3 grandchildren, and 4 adults, spent a recent July week on Tobey Island, a remarkable quiet retreat!
    We spent the week kayaking, swimming, fishing, exploring the tiny islands created during low tide, and searching for hidden treasures such as sea glass, rocks, sand crabs and a myriad of other little sea creatures that excited the kids. The island is a haven for birds, and we spent much time watching them in their natural
    environment. We experienced all this away from the traffic and crowds that summer brings to the Cape.
    Brian and Martha's home is lovely. It is large, organized, comfortable, and spotless. They have thought of everything that guests might need and enjoy, being well-stocked with household supplies, books, games, first aid items, beach chairs, and a great outdoor shower. Our grandchildren loved the hammock and enjoyed reading in it! The Buzzard Bay views from the windows and the sunsets were serene and peaceful!
    Thank you, Brian and Martha, for your attention to detail and for all your advice, ideas, and availability to answer our questions and concerns before, during, and after our vacation. Thank you also for your thoughtfulness with the beautiful welcome basket. It was very appreciated. It is obvious that your home and Tobey Island are both precious to you, rich in family history. We were honored to have been able to share some of that magic with our family.
    Looking forward to returning to beautiful Tobey Island soon!

    Wow! Debbie, Bill and their family were just the nicest of people and the best guests that one could possibly hope for! They thoroughly enjoyed themselves, took advantage of every opportunity to explore and experience the wildlife and were a perfect fit for Tobey Island. It's is rewarding for us to learn that another family appreciates and enjoys the island as we do. We would be so pleased and honored to have this family return in the future!

    Beautiful home with amazing views

    The owners were readily available to answer questions and offer advice. The neighborhood was quiet and scenic. The home was clean, comfortable and inviting. There are several areas within walking distance for swimming, kayaking, fishing and beaching.

    We highly recommend!!!

    Great to have these two families stay at Tobey Island! They were easy to work with, responsible and a pleasure to host. They came prepared to spend time on the water and brought an inflatable dinghy to motor around as well as catch fish. Very nice guests and we would be happy to have them return!

    An Incredible Stay on the Cape!

    We had an incredible stay on Tobey Island. The house is super cozy and well furnished with plenty of room for our group. It has everything you need from a comfortable bedding and full kitchen to yoga mats and even an outdoor shower! The deck offers an amazing spot to soak in the sunshine with an awesome view of the water. We spent our days exploring the shoreline, kayaking, going on day trips to other parts of cape cod, and cooking delicious meals.

    We couldn't have asked for a better stay and can't wait to come back! show more show less

    Piece of paradise

    What a wonderful week we had on Tobey Island, a true paradise! From exploring Little Tobey Island to kayaking or just relaxing on the deck, this beautiful and spacious home allowed our family to just relax and unwind. Our gracious hosts Martha and Brian have thought of everything…great kitchen amenities, countless games and the great outdoor shower. The availability of the kayaks and life vests was a huge bonus! This retreat is also close to restaurants like the Lobster Trap and Chart Room and Market Basket for groceries. Would highly recommend this wonderful retreat and can't wait to come back next year! show more show less

    Patti and her family were a pleasure to host and we would certainly enjoy having them return in the future. We found Patti to be well organized, extremely responsible, personable and easy to work with. She also provided valuable feedback on some changes to the house which are very much appreciated. What a nice family!

    A magical place, a wonderland for kids!

    A truly unique and beautiful home, located on a small private island in Buzzard's Bay -- with views of the water from the spacious deck and almost every room, and light pouring in from the windows everywhere. Homeowners Brian and Martha could not be more gracious or attentive. The house holds everything you could need, from laundry facilities to kayaks and life vests to go with them -- oh, and a library of wonderful books about Cape Cod! The kitchen is big enough to cook anything, even for a large family.

    But if you have kids, this is why you want to camp out here: The property itself has a lovely, small and entirely private beach right behind the house, with calm, warm waters and plenty of sand for digging, plus tons of tiny crabs and fishes to marvel over. At low tide you can actually walk to the next island over! We could barely drag our kids away from this oasis -- but it was also so easy to run up to the house for lunch, forgotten toys, bathroom breaks, etc. Just a dream scenario for parents!

    There's also another beach just down the short road with a dock -- a bit rockier (water shoes are a must) but with a phenomenal number of shells to find and flocks of birds to watch. Fishing off the dock is fun and kid-easy, we caught so many scup, plus sunsets here are breathtaking. You can take a short hike on the road that circles the tiny island, or bike on the nearby (and gorgeous) Shining Sea bike path.

    It's such a magical get-away from real life -- but also in a great location for exploring some kid-friendly sites: Plimoth Plantation is about half an hour away, Woods Hole's aquarium is less. (And nearby Pocasset has mini golf and a phenomenal ice cream shop, if that's your thing. It's definitely my 9-yr-olds' thing!)

    We had an amazing time at Tobey Island and hope to return!

    We were absolutely thrilled and lucky to host Jenifer and her family! They enjoyed everything that we love about the island and reaffirmed why it is such a special place for us. One couldn't ask for a nicer family! Communications with Jenifer were a breeze and we found her to be extremely responsible and responsive before, during and after her family's stay. To their credit, they were well-prepared to enjoy themselves both on the island and at some of the nearby attractions. We would be absolutely honored to host this family in the future!show moreshow less

    Glorious!

    Spent a week at Martha and Brians spectacular Island Paradise. This property exceeded all of our expectations. Plenty to do, or not do, ensuring that all three generations of our family remained firmly in vacation mode. Beautiful surroundings, comfortable home. Been renting property on the cape for over forty years and this was undoubtably our finest selection. Can't wait to return in 2023.

    Ray and his family were superb guests in every way and we feel lucky that they chose to stay at our home this past summer. There is something special about vacationing with your children and grandchildren on the Cape and this family clearly knows how to have a wonderful time together. Imagine a 40 year old tradition of summer vacations together! Ray and his family are personable, ultra responsible and a pleasure to host. We would be delighted to have them return in the future!

    Amazing week!

    Our family has vacationed on the cape for years and years and without a doubt, this week at Tobey Island has been our favorite place yet.  The property and island are absolutely beautiful and the views from the house are spectacular.  The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped to meet all of our meal preparation needs.  Favorite activities included kayaking, swimming and beach-combing and bird watching. The owners went out of their way to provide valuable information with plenty of suggestions and ideas on how to enjoy our time.  We can't wait to return!

    My parents built this home in 1972 and I have been here every summer of my life. In 2018, my husband and I became the sole owners and we have been busy making it top notch. The home, the island and area are a slice of heaven. We are excited to share it with you!

    What is special about this property?
    There are so many things that make this home special. When you walk in the door, the open floor plan, high stained pine ceilings, ample windows and large deck instantly relax you. It's so quiet and peaceful. When it's time for a swim, you just walk down to the dock and jump right in. If you want a walk, follow the roads and paths around the island or explore the shoreline and find shells and beach glass. On a practical note, the house is 10 minutes away from the Bourne Bridge. It's a complete escape from mainland madness.

    What is special about your town?
    Although Monument Beach and Bourne are easier to navigate and less impacted by tourism than the rest of the Cape, we still have much to do. We enjoy the Cape Cod Canal and Shining Sea bike paths, the Aptuxcet trading post, the Sandwich Glass Museum, the golf courses and Bourne Braves baseball. There is plenty to do in the area and Falmouth, Mashpee and Woods Hole are a quick drive to reach. The Monument Beach public beach is next to the bridge getting to the island and the Falmouth beaches are also close by.
