Such a beautiful spot and welcoming hosts. There was space for the three generations of our family. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the ocean, and falling asleep to the sound of waves can’t be best. Our grand children built many sandcastles and found interesting stones snd shells on the beach.

Overall we had a really nice stay. The Pros: - excellent stunning location right on the beach - very large property with a lot of space - excellent open space for your group to cook, socialise, and relax- large deck with fantastic viewsThe Cons: - It’s pretty run down. The walls and ceilings have a lot of marks and holes that need patching. Some things needed repair. For instance 2 of the bedside lamps were broken and the air conditioner in the living room didn’t work at all. Towels and bedding are old and worn. - The house is absolutely full of the owners possessions which makes it feel more like you’ve displaced someone so you can stay. We didn’t expect that.

Great space with amazing ocean view

Loved our stay last week at this home. We had 7 people - 3 generations and there was plenty of space for everyone! So many sunrises, sunsets and beach walks... Meals out on the porch with the ocean sounds... great visits to the lighthouse and Irish mossing museum... delicious local food options... it was perfect for our needs!

Our second stay here and as wonderful as the first. Dean and Vida greeted us, and were welcoming. The location is perfect for every age. The large deck means we can sit and watch the ocean and the sun sets. The house was large enough that three generations all felt comfortable had space. Nice touches like spices, plenty of dishes and silverware, pots, etc. we hope to return next year.

A beautiful place!

Our family (9 adults, a four year old, and an infant) stayed here for a long weekend. The house was lovely and had plenty of room for us to gather together, or find a quiet place to read and think. But the location right in the water, was the most spectacular thing! We watched boats, played in the sand and water, it was great. No one wanted to leave !

Perfect Location in need of updating.

This rental has a wonderful location. Read reviews about listening to the waves at night - truly magical and soothing. As far as the home itself, it is in dire need of updating. Some of the furniture needs replaced. Beautiful view and great owners.

Perfect spot for families

We were three generations for a family vacation. Kids 2-14. This house was perfect. Literally walk out the door to the beach so no packing up and driving. The house had enough room for everyone to be happy- quiet space on third level for the little ones to nap, bedroom with private bath for us old folks! House very well supplied. Dean and Vida Lovely and responsive.

On the beach in Scituate

Our stay was wonderful, the 3 generations of the family had a great time.The house was as advertised, the weather was great and being on the ocean capped it off.The only negative was in the house rules which we received 2 days prior to our arrival. As we were week long renters the owners policy is to have the renters wash and dry the linens and towels, so for our last morning instead of having coffee on the deck we had to do about 3 hours of laundry, not the way to end a vacation. For what the cost of the rental was there should be a linen service.

Great location, and home-owners were super nice. Place was well equipped with what we needed; only disappointment was that it could use a good cleaning. Maybe it was just the end-of-season blues. But we had a wonderful time together as a family.

Fabulous weekend for the extended family

This is a great property and perfect for our family make up. We were there for my daughter's wedding and my son and daughter in law, a family friend and my daughter all stayed there. 3 bathrooms made it easy to get ready. I was able to read on the deck overlooking the water each morning as the chaos of getting ready happened around me. The kitchen was fully stocked and I didn't need to use any of the spices, condiments or paper goods I had brought. It was very peaceful. The driveway is small so only fits two or three cars.

Great Vacation

We were looking for a vacation this year that was low key but in an area that still had lots to offer if we decided to venture out. Scituate and this home delivered big time! We spent a day in Boston, but other than that, we stuck close to the home and the lovely little towns of Scituate and Cohasset. The house is stocked SO well, every normal household item you’re used to having is available, which was awesome. The house was exactly what we needed and the fact that it is right on the water/beach was amazing for us. Could you find a more luxurious house? Yes, but it met our needs very nicely and let’s be honest, you don’t need opulence to have an amazing vacation. We spent 95% of our time outside and exploring. We loved swimming, catching crabs, finding cool rocks, flying kites, taking walks and runs down the beach. It was awesome to get to connect with our boys without a bunch of distractions. It’s a trip that we won’t soon forget because we were able to focus on being together and spending quality time without our very busy schedules getting in the way. Thank you Scituate for your quaint beautiful rest and relaxation. Thank you Dean and Vida for sharing your great home!! We hope to come back in the future and I would without reservation recommend to others.

These were wonderful renters; the house was as clean after their visit as it was when they arrived (not typical practice!) We appreciated their thoughtfulness and their love of Egypt Beach.

About the host

Hosted by Dean and Vida Johnson

Host profile image
This beach house was a replacement for an early 20th C cottage that disappeared in the great Blizzard of 1978. In 1980 we moved back on the lot and built on piles. I am a retired environmental planner/urban development consultant; my wife teaches Russian at Tufts University. We have been in Cambridge since the early 1960's. We share this lovely getaway with relatives from California.

Why they chose this property

A cousin at Harvard Medical School found this beach in 1964 with his three boys, and he purchased the original cottage there. The family has enjoyed this getaway ever since. We also appreciate the fact that we are less than an hour from Cambridge/Boston.

What makes this property unique

Great beach walks; digging clams; great variety of seascape and beach;
