About this property

Newly Renov. Water Front Cottage w/Deck, Fire Pit-Short Stroll to Private Beach

This endearing, completely renovated, cozy beach house has everything you need to relax & have fun. It's located in the Parkwood Beach Association, which is a small private community surrounded by beaches, complete with tennis & basketball courts (coming soon), and kids can play on the swings & the jungle gym at the nearby park. This Cozy Cottage also has a small desk area and WIFI if you need to do a little work while on vacation!! Hopefully you'll be using the WIFI to binge watch your favorite shows more than doing work!! THERE WILL BE AN EXTRA GUEST FEE OF $20 PER/NIGHT PER EXTRA GUEST.

This delightful cottage is right on the waterway that leads into the ocean. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, outside shower, a back porch with a grill and a fire pit. Relax while you enjoy all the new amenities, which includes beds, pillows, sheets, beach towels, bath towels, blowdryer and plenty of outside eating & sitting areas. You will be extremely comfortable with a ceiling fan in every room along w/ brand new, state-of-the art, heating & air-conditioning system. Please feel free to use the washer & dryer in the basement along with the kayak, bikes, and other outside games. The Master bedroom has a water view, TV, a full bed, closet and 2 dressers. The 2nd bedroom has 2 bunk beds, that sleeps 6, 3 dressers, and a Trunk full of board games, cards, and toys. The bright, sunny, open concept kitchen has a breakfast nook with an adjustable table that can seat 8. The kitchen has a granite bar with 4 bar stools for extra dinning. The living room has a sectional couch that pulls out into a full bed for extra guests. The 65 inch flat screen TV is equipped with Dish Network, surround sound, a Wii console with plenty of games, DVD, VHS, and lots of movie selections there for your enjoyment. We also have a Smart TV with WIFI for set up onto your youtube, Netflix, or amazon account.

You'll love this cute, quiet, home that's just a stroll to the private sandy beaches, which have docks for the kids to enjoy jumping & swimming. This is the perfect little beach house to fish, bike, walk to the beach, swim, boat, or just sit back and enjoy the view by the fire pit. My favorite thing to do is to take the kayak out to the ocean, from the water way in my back yard. We have plenty of room for parking, a boat trailer, or jets ski's. plus, we have a BOAT LAUNCH 1/4 mile from the house.

It's Great for kids of all ages or anyone visiting schools in the area like Mass Maritime Academy or Tabor Academy. It's close to The Cape Cod Canal, Buzzards Bay, and 1/2 hour to catch all the ferry's to the islands of Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard!! It's minutes from Water Wizz, the only water park on Cape Cod and 1/2 hour from Plymouth Rock or Providence, RI. Take a sunset Cape Cod Canal cruise from Onset Beach only miles away or go whale watching at a variety of locations within 30 minutes. It's just 1 hour from great sightseeing places like Boston and The Newport Beaches & Mansions. Whether you decide to be adventurous and explore the many attractions nearby, or you just want to relax at the cottage and walk to the beach, you will be sure to have an incredible "No Stress" vacation.

This was definitely a cozy, beautiful cottage. We had an awesome time as a family. Loved the porch and the picturesque backyard. Lots of indoor and outdoor games. My son did a little kayaking despite some rainy evenings. Wished we planned on staying longer.

Girl's weekend

This was a perfect spot! Beautiful views with ducks and herons visiting often. While we were there it rained relentlessly, but the inside was cozy with comfortable seating, a large screen tv for movies and a well planned kitchen for cooking anything (even had an electric griddle!) Within minutes of great restaurants, too! Enjoy your stay, we did!!

Wonderful cotage

Lovely spot, charming cottage with lots of outdoor living space. Very comfortable and well equipped. Comfy bed in master bedroom. Unbelievable collection of bikes, sports stuff in basement, and many games for kids of all ages. Cute little swimming beach very close and larger beach about 5 minute drive. Nice new BBQ grill. Will definitely book again!

Cozy Beach House

What a cute, cozy house! Came for a girls weekend and this was a great spot for us to hang after a long day at the beach. Between the private community beach and Onset Beach (super close drive) we got our fill of sand and sun. The house was just as described and Kerri was an excellent communicator leading up to check in. Definitely recommend!

Home away from home

The Cotter's cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. Beautifully remodeled, very spacious (inside and out) and stocked with everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings Paddling on the river and lounging on the large deck were a couple of highlights. We would have loved more time to just hang out and relax. Easy parking and great communication from the host made for a wonderful overall experience.

Nice weekend getaway with friends & the kids

Fantastic location with the kids, no traffic to worry about. Bunk bed room worked out perfect for the 4 kids. Solid recommendations on food also in the binder, we ordered from Ellas (great food) and went to Al’s tiki bar (great service & food). Plenty to do in the area but we enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit most of the time! Beautiful home, just like the pics and very nice neighbors too. We would certainly come stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Kerri and Tom Cotter

Host profile image
We bought this place 3 years ago and just renovated it, so now it's the perfect place to relax. It truly is our happy place!

Why they chose this property

We were so lucky to be able to buy this home on the water from my dad, because I grew up in this beach community and there're not that many homes on the water left for sale! I had so many fond memories growing up on the beaches here. Now I can pass that down to my kids. I worked as a lifeguard on the front beach here for years and now I'm loving this place as a home owner. This is the best place to vacation with kids of all ages. It's got a little something for everyone. What's best is, that I get to enjoy watching my kids make the same memories I did. I'm so fortunate to own this property we call our home away from home.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this place is that you are basically on Cape Cod WITHOUT all the stress of TRAFFIC! You have easy access to just about all the great sight seeing places like Cape Cod Canal, Plymouth Rock, Providence, Boston, Newport, not to mention the islands off the cape, & all the places on the Cape including Woods Hole, all the way down to the very tip of the Cape, Provincetown!
