Few Cape Cod rentals can match this Osterville cottage for waterfront immersion – East Bay and Nantucket Sound stretch out in front of you from the great room, the dining deck, and the main suite, where a fireplace and direct deck access make slow mornings hard to leave. A private deep-water dock opens up the whole bay for paddleboarding or boating, with a secluded barrier beach just a short paddle across the water. Come evening, the waterfront fire pit earns its place. Dowses Beach and Osterville Village's shops and dining are a short walk away when you're ready to venture out.

Home truths
The dock is permitted for one boat only, and the host's reference boat is a 26-foot vessel – so if you're planning to bring your own, check with your host in advance to confirm it will fit and that mooring arrangements work for you.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
