About this property
Private beach and wooded retreat on Coonamessett Pond
One week left for Summer ‘24 (Aug 3 - 10). Book your family's dream vacation week before it disappears!
Entertainment, relaxation and recreational opportunities abound at this 5BR, 2-full bath, 2-half bath modern home (with A/C) located on Coonamessett Pond, a pristine fresh-water lake (158 acres) in historic Hatchville.
This fantastic waterfront home has an open floor plan with a lofted ceiling in the living area so that both the first and second floors offer breathtaking views of the pond. The main floor of the house features an open concept living room, dining area, and kitchen. Attached to the open living space is a master suite with full bath, a half bath for guests, and a huge 540 ft2 screened in porch with HD television that is perfect for outdoor dining and entertainment. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths are located on the second floor. The finished basement includes a recreation room with large screen (65”) television, a 5th bedroom and bunk bed in the Rec room (counted as the 6th BR in the listing). The house also has a washer/dryer, dishwasher, and wifi.
At the water’s edge, enjoy a private, white-sand beach. Coonamessett Pond, the largest freshwater body in Falmouth, is renowned for its recreational opportunities, including kayaking, sailing, fishing and stand-up paddle boarding (SUP). Three kayaks, two SUPs and a Sunfish sailboat are included in the rental. Lounge on the beach by day, rinse off in the outdoor shower, serve up cocktails and enjoy the sun set from the screened-in porch or 4-person hot tub. Cooking enthusiasts will enjoy the fully-equipped large kitchen and the 4-burner Weber grill on a deck extending the length of the house.
The 1+ acre lot is located near the end of a private road and is surrounded by conservation land with maintained hiking trails. Within easy walking distance are the Sandwich Road Park (children's playground, basketball court, lacrosse and baseball fields) and the famed Coonamessett Farm, a 20-acre pick-your-own farm and host of the famous Jamaican buffet. Four public golf courses including the recently renovated Cape Club are all less than 3.5 miles away. World-class mountain biking and hiking trails are less than 2 miles away at Francis Crane Wildlife Management Area. Finally, the Shining Sea Bikeway and 10+ public beaches on Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay are easily accessible.

About the host
Hosted by John Pohlman

We are a family of scientists, teachers, students and animals who rent our house a couple of weeks a year to support our summer travel and pay some bills (2 kids in college!). We have been doing this since 2016 and maintain contact with many if not most of our former guests. Although we live here year round, we vigilantly clear the house of our personal belongings and affects so when you are here you feel like the house is your own. The Elms is our dream home...we are excited to share it with you!
