★The Islander | Steps From Water, Fire Pit, AC★

A pristine island getaway. This tastefully decorated cozy cottage is nestled in the Wild Life Sanctuary of Monomoscoy Island. The home is steps from the water, and a small private beach for you to enjoy. The location is great for a family vacation, couples getaway or romantic retreat. You will be minutes from South Cape Beach, New Seabury and the Mashpee Commons. Relax on the large front porch that offers a fire pit and views of the water on either side. Stay with us on your next vacation!

~The Space~
Our year round cottage has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. It is set on a quiet private road. The large front deck offers room for everyone, and fantastic views of the water! On the front deck you will find seating for your whole group with a fire pit to keep you warm at night. About 500 feet from the front of the house, at the end of the street, you will find a small private beach for you to use. Bring a beach chair for a day in the sun, or enjoy an amazing sunset over Waquiot Bay at night. In the partially fenced in back yard, you will find a BBQ grill and table to enjoy a meal outside on those warm summer days.

This newly furnished cottage has a comfortable open floor plan featuring high vaulted ceilings. The full kitchen includes all the utensils and appliances for cooking a delicious meal. The living room includes a large sectional couch for watching TV or conversing with the family. The 55 inch smart HD TV has Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon built in for your convenience.

South Cape Beach(3.5 miles), Mashpee Commons(2.5 miles), New Seabury(2 miles), and Popponessett Market Place are just a few places that are a short drive from the home. Falmouth center(15 minutes) and ferries to Martha’s Vineyard are also located close by.

I just had the best vacation with my family at the Islander in Mashpee, MA. My host was very helpful and attentive. I had never been to this part of Mashpee before and it was beautiful. I was able to visit old favorites on the Cape and find new favorite places. I highly recommend this cottage. It was very comfortable and the host was amazing.

This is a perfect spot for a late summer getaway. The immediate area is quiet but not far from beaches and shopping.

Island Getaway

My four friends and I were very lucky we stumbled upon the Islander. Nestled away from the crowds, the location provided us with access to the bay just steps down the road and the nature of Monomoscoy Island. Really lovely, peaceful morning walks, followed by the great opportunity to explore the Cape. We spent a day in Provincetown, had a great visit to the national seashore, and went into different towns. We had a few questions and the hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. A couple things in the house could use a refresh/refill, but we went out to eat most nights so didn’t use the kitchen very much. A great visit and taste of East Coast Summer thanks to the Islander!

I was travelling with my 3 sisters from Canada heading towards Martha's Vineyard for a sister's reunion. We all appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail. The space was well appointed. The fridge ice maker did not work well so having some ice cube trays would have been helpful. I highly recommend The Islander.
