Enjoy private access to the calm waters of Picture Lake at this bright, charming home on the lakeshore in Pocasset. You'll have a prime location for exploring Cape Cod and a waterfront haven back at home - one with beautiful views, great outdoor space, and a pair of paddleboards to take out each morning.
This home sits directly on the banks of freshwater Picture Lake (also known as Flax Pond), in one of Pocasset's quaint, quiet neighborhoods. There's direct lake access from the backyard, making it easy to paddleboard (with life jackets provided), swim in the warm shallow water, or fish for bass, perch, and sunfish. The lake's two sandy beaches are an easy walk, offering a wonderful place to escape the summer crowds.
This spot just over the Bourne bridge also makes a scenic and convenient home base for all things Cape Cod. You need only drive a few miles to find beloved beaches, charming villages, local restaurants, miniature golf, ice cream shops, and the ferry to Martha's Vineyard.
No matter how you spend your days, you can cap each one by rinsing off in the outdoor shower, sharing a sunset meal on the back deck, and swapping stories around the firepit as night moves in. The cooler months are every bit as enjoyable, with games, books, puzzles, and a TV (with a Blu-ray player and streaming capability) on hand to accompany views of migratory birds traveling past the lake.
Other special features of the house include a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a light-filled dining nook, a private washer/dryer, and three gorgeous bedrooms - including one delightfully outfitted for kids.

Perfect location for visiting family at military bases!
We were in town visiting loved ones and had a great location to the base. Check in was a breeze. The kiddos loved the dock and beautiful lake. We enjoyed the aesthetic options and the ability to have snacks and coffee at home before heading out. Beds were comfortable and we had no complaints! We will absolutely book again when coming back to visit.

Cute Property
Very pleased with the property! Super cute and clean. Only downfall was the refrigerator didnt work, however they did provide a small one in its place, but it wasnt big enough to store a lot. Loved being next to the water and having the outside shower to rinse off. Will definitely recommend!

Beautiful home!
We enjoyed our stay at Calm Waters - the home was beautiful and clean; spacious rooms for our family of 5 and lovely private access to the pond through the backyard. Puzzles and books were a nice touch. Quiet neighborhood and accessible to great restaurants and sites in Cape Cod. We loved our stay.
