Captain Shaw Norris House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Don't miss your chance to book this incredible historic beach view home, originally built in 1859, boasting modern amenities and a to-die-for rooftop deck. The three-story home in East Chop features ocean views and abundant private outdoor space. Choose between beachcombing on the sand or admiring the water from home.

Enjoy alfresco meals at the outdoor dining table atop the house. The open kitchen is ideal for cooking as it's completely updated with gorgeous white cabinets, recessed lighting, a farmhouse sink, and high-end stainless steel appliances. The formal dining area provides an all-season option for hosting group dinners. Although the home has undergone renovations for your comfort, it retained its charm by keeping fun elements like the blue hardwood floors.

As evening approaches, make sure you don't miss the stunning display of the sunset over the ocean. For nighttime ambience, gather around the firepit on the roof or the one on the enclosed patio.

The roof deck was lovely! Allowing doggies was a huge plus for us. Nice open layout, clean, excellent location for getting to restaurants, shops, dog walking hikes.

Older House with Modern Upgrades
I was very impressed with the upgrades at the house. All the bathrooms are updated. The kitchen was upgraded and excellent. The living area was very comfortable. I am not the biggest fan of older homes (the creaky stairs here in the front bothered me and the smallest bedroom was older) but the updates made up for the home being older. The location is fantastic as far as right on the water and close to more of the popular towns in the area. We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean inside throughout and the communication with the staff was great.

Weekend in MV
beautiful house and location. Stunning rooftop that's perfect for outdoor meals. The heating and cooling though was a little wonky as the house was either really cold or hot and you didn't have the ability to adjust much. Kitchen could use a bit of upgrading as there is a lack of standard appliances and things e.g. scissors, knives, blender. For taller folks, careful of second floor as ceilings are low and doorways are head hazards.
