Stunning Water Front Home on Tobey Island!
Pocasset, Monument Beach Vacation Rental - ID 32385

Enjoy the peace and quiet of a private, secluded island to rest, relax and restore your spirit. From the large deck and many widows, you can enjoy stunning water views. Spend your time watching the birds soar above the house, sailboats on the bay and ships transiting the Cape Cod Canal. The wind off of the water rushes through the trees, offering a refreshing and invigorating salt air that means your vacation has begun.

Accessible by a small bridge, the house is on a point and the last on the road and a world away from the mainland. With comfortable accommodations for 10 people, you and your family can spend your time exploring the shoreline by foot or kayak, swimming or fishing from the beaches and two docks. A private path in our yard leads to a spit of land that allows you to easily explore the adjacent Little Tobey Island at low tide. You are welcome to use our Old Towne 2 person kayak stored at the docks. Bring your own motor or sail boat. There is a nearby public boat ramp, fueling dock and mooring bouy available (for boats up to 28 feet) so you can sail, fish or waterski. After rinsing off in the enclosed outdoor shower, you can return to the house for a game of ladderball, whiffleball or a round of tennis on the island’s clay court.

Filled with light, all of the rooms have large windows, most with great views of Buzzards Bay. The four bedroom, two bath home is fully air conditioned and sleeps ten comfortably. The two upstairs bedrooms have queen size beds and the bedrooms downstairs have two and three single beds respectively. A full size futon is available in the family room and the house is equipped with a portacrib, high chair, nice walking stroller and backpack for carrying your young one. With two large living areas, you and your family can spend time all together or spread out. The downstairs offers a flat screen TV with cable, DVD player, sofas and chairs.

With generous seating, including an outdoor dining table, chairs and a 24 foot bench, the elevated deck easily accommodates a crowd. Enjoy a grilled meal using either the gas or charcoal grill. The lawn offers a beautiful, shaded sitting area overlooking the water with more chairs and chaise lounges plus, there is ample room for whiffle ball, ladderball, badminton or croquet.

In addition to beaches on Tobey Island, it is an easy walk to a free, public sandy beach nearby at Phinney’s Harbor. Parking is limited to town residents but there is plenty of free parking along Shore Road. Phinneys Harbor provides a fueling dock and is home to Bourne Community Boating which offers sailing school and opportunities to children and adults.

Monument Beach, one mile away, has a post office, ice cream shop, bakery, pizza parlor and a paddlers shop with kayak and paddle board 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 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.

Tobey Island is quiet and secluded. Easy to reach and only 70 miles from Boston and a quick 4 miles from the Bourne Bridge, it is a world away from mini golf, tee shirt shops and traffic.
