About the host
Hosted by Wendy Moran
Our family has its roots in Brookline, Massachusetts, and for generations we’ve been drawn to the Cape as a place to slow down and come together. This home has been at the center of countless family gatherings, from summer vacations to weddings and milestone celebrations. We’ve always loved the beach lifestyle—the simple joy of long days by the water, shared meals, and time spent with the people who matter most. Hosting gives us the opportunity to share that same sense of connection and tradition with others, and we hope our home becomes a special place for your own memories as well.
Why they chose this property
What sets this property apart is the exceptional beach experience and peaceful setting. The private beach offers a safe, relaxed environment ideal for children and pets, without the crowds of public shorelines. Its gentle, gradual tide and firm, hard-packed sand make it perfect for swimming, walking, and playing at any age. Combined with the quiet, low-traffic neighborhood, the home provides a rare sense of calm and privacy—an ideal escape for families looking to unwind by the water.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly unique is its deep-rooted history and authentic Cape Cod character. Built by our grandfather in 1929, this home captures the timeless charm of a “Classic Cape,” offering a warm, nostalgic experience that’s increasingly rare to find. Tucked away on a private road and set directly on a private beach, it provides a level of tranquility and exclusivity that makes it feel like your own secluded coastal retreat. The home is thoughtfully suited for families, with a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere that encourages connection and relaxation. Adding to its distinctiveness, the property was recently selected as a filming location for an upcoming movie about Anthony Bourdain—an acknowledgment of its unique character, beauty, and sense of place.
