About this property

Charming Cape Cod Retreat | Walk to Beach, Harbor & Historic Village

Escape to this elegantly simple yet beautifully refined cottage, designed for singles, couples, and small families seeking a fresh start. Thoughtfully updated, it features a completely remodeled kitchen and bath, blending classic charm with modern comforts.

Nestled in the heart of historic Cotuit, this serene hideaway invites you to walk to the market, a cozy restaurant, the harbor, and pristine beaches. Or simply wander through the village, where historic captains’ homes and enchanting gardens create a picture-perfect New England setting. A haven for kids, bike rides, and leisurely strolls.

The bedroom offers a queen-size bed, with an air mattress (electric inflator included) for an additional 1-2 children. A Graco Playpen is provided for our littlest guests. Need more space? The modern sleeper sofa in the living room effortlessly converts into a queen-size bed, a smart and stylish solution for families.

Outdoors, enjoy your private driveway and entrance, leading to a brick patio under a charming pergola, framed by lush gardens. Mature trees and new AC ensure cool comfort all summer long. After a sun-soaked day, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then gather around your private grill for an evening of al fresco dining and marshmallow roasting.

For those craving adventure, take advantage of shared bicycles and four kayaks with the main house (see listing #3779658).

This timeless coastal retreat is the perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication—your gateway to Cape Cod’s magic.

Nice family trip

We had a great stay despite weather that didn’t fully cooperate for the beach. The cottage is adorable and we liked the quiet location. There was a market and restaurant within walking distance which was nice. All in all it was wonderful to get away and enjoy some family time.

Cotuit Vacation

The cottage was very comfortable and spacious for 2 adults. Great in town location. Kitchen very well appointed. The bed was a little too soft and bouncy for our liking. Overall we had a wonderful vacation.

Comfortable Summer Cottage

I couldn't have asked for a more delightful cottage. It was so well stocked, that a suitcase of clothing was all that was needed. The use of the bicycles, beach chairs and water toys was wonderful. A great week!

Wonderful Fourth of July week in Cotuit

We had a wonderful time at Miriam’s Cotuit cottage. Wonderful space which was so very well appointed. Perfect location in the center of the village! Lovely extras provided! We had a great beach day wheeling the wagon provided to Loop beach where we enjoyed the lovely beach chairs from the cottage. Our neighbors were great. Miriam was lovely responding to any question or issue immediately. We recommend this lovely spot!

Cute + Cozy for small family

My husband, daughter (14 months), and I stayed for our trip to the Cape and we had a wonderful time. Miriam was very accommodating, providing a highchair and pack-and-play for our daughter. I enjoyed sitting on the patio under the lights in the evening. It was the perfect place for our newly mobile daughter. Wish we had time to use the outdoor shower, firepit, and beach accessories! Thanks again!

The Tiny Piney

Been coming to Cotuit my whole life. It was a great location and well-appointed. Safe parking off-street. The bathroom is tiny - like being on an airplane, but the outdoor shower is lovely with a view into the trees. There were no sheets for the couch and we would have liked more pillows. I would return for sure.

Lovely cottage!

This cottage was a perfect getaway for our family. I was delighted by how beautiful everything was. I loved the fact that there were bikes there to use as well as a beach pass for all of the beaches in the Barnstable County. It was well worth it's price!

Ideal Setting w/ Every Convenience

We had both the main house and the cottage for part of our trip to the Cape. My brother and sister-in-law stayed in the cottage and loved it. It provided privacy for them, and the ability for us all to be together and enjoy our time while there. The amenities within the cottage and for the beach/etc were fantastic. There was everything - including great art supplies for the kids. This was a fabulous trip and the accomodations were a very big part of making it. The short walk down to the Kettle Ho was also enjoyed by all ;) Great cottage. Great Location. Great Vacation.

A beautiful cottage nestled in quiet Cotuit!

This beautiful cottage is newly decorated in a modern style with a few antique pieces which make it the perfect Cape Cod get away. The kitchen has everything you need and more! Cotuit is quiet and quaint with beaches in walking distance. The cottage met our family's needs perfectly. The "extras" provided in the shed were a pleasant surprise! We had a wonderful vacation and look forward to returning soon. The owners were very pleasant, easy to contact, and kept in touch with us during the process of renting and while on our vacation.

The perfect quaint getaway

This cottage is exactly what you'll want if you're looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. We booked in late May after stubbing across the cottage on HomeAway. Right away we fell in love with the place because it was exactly what we had been searching for. Booking was made very easy and stress free. Upon arrival to the house, it was exactly like the pictures portrayed. The patio and landscape was clean and well maintained which really gave a comforting feeling even before stepping foot inside the cottage. When we opened the door, a clean and organized cottage greeted us. Equipped with a kitchen full of its accessories (pots, pans, knives and forks, French press coffee maker, and much more), Family area with cable/satellite television, Clean bathroom, and a bedroom with a very comfortable bed and full size closet to put clothes. Craig, one of the owners of the house, made sure that we were comfortable and that everything was in working order. This was a nice gesture that he went out of his way. The cottage sits about 10 minutes from the restaurants and beaches, which isn't bad due to the scenic drive from point A to point B. I would, and plan to, book here again. This is exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend this cottage for a quaint quiet Cape Cod getaway!!

Why they chose this property

Because we tested it for you and keep improving it every season so you can enjoy every moment of your stay. You will even love the rainy calm off-season days here when you can open the huge glass sliders and hear the raindrops and the birds. If cooking is not the first thing on your list you are at the perfect place - only a 4 min walk away you can enjoy a meal at the well known Kettle Ho, and walk for fresh coffe and a fine croissant in the well-stocked local coop.
Perfect place for everyone who wants to maintain healthy lifestyle- walking and jogging is MUST in Cotuit.
Just watch for the wild truckey crossing by early morning!

What makes this property unique

An early morning walk to the beach is priceless; for everything else there is your master card, which we would be glad to accept....
