"Magical": Steps to the beach in laid-back beach community
Less than 10 minutes on side roads from the Bourne Bridge, enter Mashnee Island, see the water and beaches all around you, and you can't help but smile and relax. This cute renovated house with A/C sleeps 6 and is ready for your beach vacation with super close beach access and deck living. Two long sandy beaches within a couple minutes walk, no beach pass required, and offers lazy beach life, good birding and fishing opportunities, plus the fun of watching boat traffic along the approach to the canal. Three bedroom and two and a half baths, eat-in kitchen, family room, and two decks give you both room to be together and room to spread out. Look at the map below and you’ll immediately understand the unique environment of an easy-to-reach beach island in famous Buzzards Bay on the Cape’s West Coast, yet less than 15 minutes to restaurants, markets, ice cream, lobster, delis, pharmacy, gift shops, Dunkin' Donuts, pizza delivery, mini-golf, fishing boat charters, scenic bike paths and public golf courses... so much you can do.
But.... we think you’ll likely just want to hang out at the beach and the house and walk the lazy beachy neighborhood.

We had a great time in Mashnee Island! The house was a short walk to the beach. Plenty of room for our family with great accommodations. definitely recommend this house for your vacation at the Cape!
This a lovely home in a picturesque friendly area. The home was very clean and comfortable. We look forward to coming back soon. The hosts were very helpful with local tips and recommendations.
Absolutely lovely house in a wonderful location on Mashpee. The house is bigger than it looks from the outside and the owners were so helpful and hospitable. We had an amazing time and plan to go back in the near future. We can’t say enough good things!
Wonderful community of friendly neighbors. Great beach for kids, easy walk. House was very comfortable had everything we needed. Owner very responsive during power outage. Plus EV charger
Spacious, comfortable with short walk to lovely beach in quiet neighborhood. We loved our stay!
We were pleasantly surprised to find a gem of a place that surpassed all my family's needs; highlights included short walk for sunsets on the beach, outdoor shower, Cape Canal Bike Path,
lovely beach, nearby markets and restaurants. The house itself had everything from each bedroom's own a/c unit as well as ceiling fan to large, private yard with two separate decks and large propane grill. The hosts are helpful and thoughtful.
We have stayed at quite a few rental houses but I can honestly say this was one of the cleanest, most well equipped and comfortable ones we have ever stayed at. The size of house is misleading from the outside but when you go in it's there’s two different suite areas to sleep in. This was perfect as my parents slept on one side of the house and my brother and myself slept on the other side. For me the pièce de résistance was the den. It’s a very big, spacious and bright room. The house is also in a charming area with it being walking distance to private beach. Plus just a short car ride to many of the wonderful towns in cape may. I would sincerely recommend staying here for as long as you can book
