About this property

Walk to the ocean, very private. Secluded, woodsy location.

We are a cozy studio in a unique setting. There is a babbling brook that runs through the property to the ocean. This was a granite-quarrying site many years ago, and the property retains the remnants of a granite road used by ox carts to move granite blocks to the schooners. There is wild life on occasion, we recently had a great blue heron for several days. State park on the ocean is a 20 min walk.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a dining table.

I had a great stay :) Phil was very welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Took some great walks and had a nice meditation spot by the creek. Despite owners being on the property, I never saw them unless I needed something. They made it feel very private and that was very appreciated.

I loved staying in this simple little efficiency. This part of Massachusetts is truly a hidden gem. Philip was very welcoming and gracious. The property was beautiful (I saw a bunny, chipmunks, a deer) and the space was comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

We honestly can't put into words what an absolute RESPITE this beautiful place is! It was scrupulously clean, provides what you need, (the water pressure in the shower is amazing) and the setting is a tranquil "Shire" type setting that is a joy to just look at or photograph. The host, Phil, is friendly, kind and so interesting! Close proximity to all we wanted to see and do. We definitely will be returning!

The stay was fine. Communication before the visit was not good because we could not get the address a few days before the visit so we had trouble finding the road the house was on and had to stop at neighbors houses to get directions.
