Charming Beachfront House Nestled in Dunes with Beautiful Ocean Views

Quintessential Cape experience. Just off of historic route 6A, this cozy, but roomy beach house sits surrounded by dunes on a beautiful, private stretch of East Sandwich beach. Barrier beach with saltwater marsh behind and Cape Cod Bay at your doorstep. Dunes and position of house relative to neighboring beach houses give privacy and sense of seclusion. Sandy path through dunes spills out onto your private sandy beach. Second floor deck provides panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay and the entire beach. The three second floor bedrooms all have ocean views and sliders to deck. Living room has fireplace.

Easy access to all Cape has to offer, just minutes to two 18 hole golf courses, restaurants, shopping and antique shops. A perfect Cape vacation spot.

Absolutely incredible location, friendly and responsive host, great amenities in the house, and all of the beach gear we needed. We kept pinching ourselves for being so lucky to be steps from the beach. And although Sandwich beach has a reputation for being rocky, the house is right in front of the least rockiest part, which was a nice bonus. We hope to be back someday and would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for the perfect Cape Cod beach getaway!

An amazing house steps from the beach! This house was the perfect spot for our parents, family (with two kids) and our dog - the deck was the perfect spot to see the sunrise and set each day, the private path to the beach made it easy to come and go with our kids and we could not have asked for a better stay. Jay was very good with communication and the house had plenty of beach toys, puzzles and chairs to use that we would have been set for the week even if we didn’t bring our own. We will definitely be back!

Rustic Beach House nestled in the dunes

Great beach house nestled in the dunes on Cape Cod Bay. Super sunsets from the upper deck where we all gathered for evening meals and barbeques. Adjacent to Scorton Creek so the kids could ride the tides in and out of the creek. Beach is a little rocky especially along waters edge so best have water shoes.

Fun family getaway

We had a great time at the dune house. Before we arrived I had a slight concern about the size of the house but 6 adults 2 kids and a large dog were very comfortable. The view on the deck upstairs is simply amazing and nightly fires on the beach unforgettable. Everyone around was so friendly and loved dogs which just added to the charm. Thank you for letting us use you home!!

Beach living

The quintessential beach house, comfy, inviting, and well loved. Coffee in the morning and sunset dinners on the upper deck were phenomenal! Set in a sand dune, you knew you were at a beach house, so be prepared to live with sand everywhere. Was thoroughly enjoyed by humans and doggos.

Perfection

The pictures don’t do the cottage justice. It was a slice of heaven on the East Sandwich beach. Very roomy and very well equipped. My 16 month old granddaughter had a blast on the sandbar at low tides. The view was outstanding and the upper deck was nice and roomy and a great place to eat, read, or just relax. We had a couple of hot days, but there were plenty of fans and a nice ocean breeze. Jay was quick to respond to any questions we had and we are already looking forward to next year!
Beautiful views of sunsets every night.

Great week at the beach

Great stay in Cape Cod! House was great for our 4 adults and 3 kids. You cannot get closer to the beach, that is for sure! It took some deep breathing and letting go of clean expectations to live with the constant sand, but that's the beach, right?! The owner was wonderful to work with. Responded quickly to my questions during the booking process. Than you, Jay for sharing your home!

You're in the dunes

Great location right on the ocean. Please note if you have anyone in your party with mobility issues, getting to ocean may be a challenge as you have to walk over a small dune and the view is from the magnificent upstairs balcony. Great sunset views every night! Watched 4 seals by the marsh outlet. Saw striped bass in the water. Lots of crabs too.

Not worth the high price

Although on a beautiful beach with pretty views from the upper deck, the accommodations are poor for the price. Very poorly kept with lamps that don't work, bathroom windows without shades , screened porch with torn screens not to mentioned dunes so high all you see is mounds of sands from the entire First floor of living space. Feels like a dungeon! If you want to have a barbecue, get ready to climb the top of the dunes where the rusted out charcole grill resides. Then climb back down the dune, walk back into the house, go upstairs through the bedrooms to bring your dinner on the deck where the picnic table is. Save your money!
Response from VrboOwner on 30 March 2020
Unfortunately this renter was not a beach person and really preferred the experience of staying in a hotel which colored her perception of everything else. She is right however that we did not put our best foot forward that week as my handyman was unexpectedly unavailable and so a ripped screen and broken lamp that occurred the week before didn't get fixed. There is a gas grill on the 2nd floor deck and a Webber charcoal grill in good shape that you can put wherever you like. There is table seating for meals on the 2nd floor deck as well as in the 1st floor screened porch in addition to the dining area inside the house. As you can see from the pictures this is not a luxury home, nor is it priced like one, but it is not poorly kept. It is a good beach house with 5 bedrooms in a beautiful spot right on the beach and with a terrific Cape Cod feel. It is worth the price. Half my renters are repeat renters. If you enjoy family beach vacations you will have a positive experience at our house. Call us with any questions.

Completely fun house!

We had 10 people in this house and there was room for everyone - with the exception of the galley kitchen. That was a tight squeeze but we took turns cooking so it worked out well. The dining room table did seat 10 but that left a few people on the inside of the picnic style bench so they couldn't get out easily. Two of the beds upstairs weren't as comfortable as others. (one with a headboard not attached to the wall so it rattled when people turned over) There were so many amenities - we packed too much! Plenty of beach chairs for everyone, tons of sand toys for kids. Lots of books and board games, fully stocked kitchen with two coffee pots, a blender and all silverware, dishes and utensils we could think of. Jay was terrific, responding quickly to questions. The only issue we had was no fault of Jay's - the dunes had piled up so it was a little incline to walk up and out to the beach. The grandmother of the group needed assistance. Fabulous views from the deck upstairs and the kids really enjoyed the sandbars at low tide. Terrific house - thanks, Jay!

After a 15 hr drive home, I am ready to turn around and head back to the Cape.

That view.... I spent most of the days watching the ocean, & nights stargazing. Exactly what I needed. Our family (50s, 70s, & 83yrs young) had an amazing time together. Thank you. Pros: Beautiful ocean view, first floor is easily navigated for those with mobility issues, plenty of games & puzzles if have rainy days like we did, a laid back community with city amenities in near-by Hyannis, & a house that feels like a home. I can't recommend a cup of coffee while sitting on the deck & taking it all in enough! Recommendations: If going to cook, bring a knife. The ones available were dull. We, also, brought a crockpot. A hot bowl of chili on a rainy, cold day was heavenly. Otherwise, the kitchen is well-stocked with pots,pans, utensils, etc. There is a small convenient/grocery store close-by. It has a limited grocery & wine inventory. No fuel pumps. There are 2 liquor stores close. One is about 2 miles east on 6A, however, we found the one in Sandwich had a better selection & prices. Hyannis is only about 20 minutes away & had a Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, & Shaw's (Excellent steak & fish selection reasonably priced.).

We had a wonderful time on the Cape!!! We were 6 adults and 2 children, ages 6 and 8. There is no shortage of things to do and being right on the beach has its own special charm. That said, the house had its issues. I always like to check in with the landlord after a day of "getting to know" the home, regarding issues that I don't want to be held responsible for....There were several but overall, the biggest issue was the cleanliness of the place. I reported to the owner that whoever does the cleaning should be held accountable for their shoddy work...we pay a lot in cleaning fees and it's was a huge disappointment that we spent several hours cleaning to make it acceptable....The owner got right back to me and was quite apologetic...he immediately had a new toaster delivered and told me he would refund the cleaning fee....On our last day , while we were packing up, the owner came to visit and talk with me...He had driven several hours to replace a few broken chairs and to meet with the cleaners....I was quite touched with his willingness to make things right with his home and his effort to reach out to me and my family. I cannot say enough nice things about Jay....I just hope he isn't being taken advantage of by people who are supposed to be working for him. With all of that, I would def consider going back....it's a wonderful beach vibe in an area with so many fun things to do as well as great restaurants, convenient shopping and beautiful sunsets!!!

Interesting Perspective on the Beach

This property is not expensive for beachfront, but the downside is that it needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance. The everyday issues are all taken care of-bathrooms and kitchen are clean, etc., but you can smell definitely smell pets, and there is a lot of sand and pet hair. There was a bucket catching a slow leak in one of the bathrooms. That said, this property provides a fascinating perspective on the beach. It is sited IN the dunes, so that from the lower level you are surrounded by dunes on three sides. You can’t really see the ocean from the lower level, but it feels like being in a hobbit house. We loved the experience. The location is also interesting because you are facing the ocean, but a short walk along the beach also takes you to a gorgeous salt marsh. We were there in October, and we had campfires on the beach at sunrise and sunset, as well as a glorious dinner on the second story deck one evening. There are a lot of bedrooms for the space, so a lot of us were able to work remotely during parts of our stay. Overall, I will never forget spending a week with family in the dunes at Cape Cod.

Unbeatable beachfront location!

7 adult family members stayed at this lovely, comfy home for 7 nights. The house technically sleeps 10, but we all agreed that 10 would have felt really tight! We absolutely loved the beach, especially the sand bars at low tide and the nearby channel for floating. The 2nd floor deck was perfect for dinners and sunset viewing. We had a beach fire one night and saw fireworks at a neighboring property, which was a fun surprise! The first 4 days were super hot, so fortunately there were plenty of fans available, in addition to the ones we brought from home. Parking is tight, but we made do with parking spaces that were available on the street. We had trouble with the refrigerator on the first day, but Jay got right after it and resolved the issue quickly. All in all, we loved this quintessential Cape Cod beach home and would definitely return!

Incredible location

You couldn't ask for better beach access and even on the hottest sunniest week-end of the summer the beach was basically private. The house is definitely "shabby chic" but has the important basics: comfortable high-quality beds, great hot showers (including outdoors), a well stocked kitchen and a gorgeous deck. There are 5 true bedrooms so no one sleeping on a pull-out! And our well-behaved dogs had a great week too! Jay is a super responsive host.

A true beach house with good bones. Having a working fireplace in the house and the capability for nightly beach fires is a real treat. Parking can be a challenge. But once you're there you don't want to leave.
