Our Stay at the Cottage

Our stay at the 1924 antique cottage at the ocean was fantastic. The house was a quint cottage with rustic wood paneling and a great fireplace. The house had all the amenities that we needed and close to many restaurants. I will miss the sound of the waves crashing at night while I fell asleep.

The Sound of the Ocean

The cottage was very picturesque with a lot of antiques as furnishings in the home. The beds were comfortable and the water was hot for showers. We had the company of a little mouse one morning. The house needs some love and care. Karen was a joy to talk too and was very helpful with the wifi and giving us hints about the area. A lovely lady.

South Shore Charm

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming 1924 beach cottage. Lots of charm and a wonderful location! Kay was very communicative and made sure we were able to reach her if we needed to (which we did not, everything went smoothly!).

About the host

Hosted by Karen O'Malley

I am the third generation owner of this family cottage. I grew up here summers and built lasting friendships and memories. Eight years ago, I ran into my childhood best friend who played in this very yard and we eloped. It is a cherished family summer home, built in 1924, and retains much of the old woodwork, panelling, beams. I am renting it for the second summer as my husband and I are planning a few wonderful trips. The beach is just beautiful, the neighborhood wonderful with friendly neighbors.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique to the area and has not been rented to the public until last year. It is a much admired summer cottage as it retains much of the old world charm of yesteryear but with modern amenities. There are two original iron bed frames, copies of which now go for over $3000 each. The cottage has a warm glow when the fireplace is going. The beach is a wonderful ocean beach that stretches for miles. The level, grassy yard is enclosed and is the only large yard in the entire area. The back deck is private and inviting. If you like to read, there is a wonderful reading nook, a bedroom with a reading corner and lots of books. We are only 23 miles south of Boston with its myriad of things to do and 10 miles north of historic Plymouth which features a waterfront downtown, Plymouth Harbor and historic Plimouth Plantation. The town has a number of excellent restaurants. We all smile as people drive past our exit and drive another 30 minutes south to Cape Cod and its crowds. Our beach rivals, usually beats those beaches without the crowds. Locals all love this South Shore town and for years this gem of a beach and town was a well kept secret. Come and enjoy a New England summer cottage and an unspoiled area that is charming. Whether you are a family, or a couple looking for a romantic getaway with long walks on the beach, this is your place.

What makes this property unique

You have the best beach on the South Shore and you do not have all the tourists of Cape Cod, nor do you have Cape traffic. There are only 15 houses on our private road that is perpendicular to the beach. Our house is the first house on left as you enter the street, 7 houses from seawall and beach. We have the only large, flat grassy lot in area and it is all grass and great for privacy and relaxing. If you like vintage, you will love this cottage. It is open from spring through the fall and then is closed down for the winter.
