About this property

Steps to the Ocean! Perfect Location!!!

You come to the Cape for the beach … so why not stay just steps away? This charming two bedroom one bath cottage on a quiet cul-de-sac is just steps from Keyes Memorial Beach. It sleeps up to 6 on 1 king, 2 twins and 1 queen pull-out sleeper sofa. The perfect location for enjoying the beach, shopping, dining, or simply getting some rest and relaxation.

Upon entry, the first thing you'll notice is the cathedral ceiling which opens up the bright airy living space where we have carried the feel if the Cape into and throughout the cottage. The Jack & Jill bathroom can be accessed from either bedroom and towels and linens are provided.

The fully equipped kitchen makes home meal preparation practical, efficient, and affordable. Whether grabbing a quick bowl of cereal for breakfast at the kitchen table, or enjoying steaks grilled to perfection on your own private patio, this cottage will be your vacation home away from home. For those who prefer fine dining, the restaurants and activities of historic downtown Hyannis are just a mile away.

Centrally situated on Cape Cod it is ideal for day trips anywhere on the Cape all the way up to Provincetown. The Ferries to Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket are also close by.

This vacation home has many extras from an in-ground heated pool (seasonal), to WiFi to help you stay connected, and a dedicated parking space.

We’re sure you will love your time here and want to return year after year!

Perfect location! Nice and comfortable

We rented the house for a week. I was with a friend and our kids. The cottage is literally 1 minute walk to the beach and for days you don't feel like packing everything to go to the beach, the pool was very nice to have. The beds were very comfortable, I usually travel with my own pillow but in this case, I really didn't need to bring it. There is a lot of room to store your clothes and luggage's. The parking is right next to the door and the patio is large enough. We really enjoyed staying there. The landlord was available to answer our questions in a timely matter. Have a good stay!

Very clean, cozy cottage!

This cottage was perfect for me, my husband, and two adult daughters. It is exactly as advertised and the owner is very communicative and helpful recommending local restaurants, etc. We definitely would stay here again if we travel to the Cape. The beach is very close and we could see the water from the cottage. Great location!

Perfect off season getaway

I spent the weekend in this adorable cottage after waking up in 5 different states 5 days in a row for a work trip. The location is perfect and the sunrise and sunsets from the beach were some of the most vibrant and colorful I have ever seen. I’m sure this is an amazing place to vacation in the summer but the quiet and solitude of November was its own treasure. And I was able to visit Walden Pond on my way to Boston Airport—-just a quick 30 minute detour and well worth the visit.

Cape-moon-Cod!

Where to begin! The cottage could not have been more perfect and romantic! Such a great location and beautiful area! You really are just steps away from the beach (which we walked to) AND can see and hear the water from the front patio. It was just tranquil, relaxing, and perfect for our Honeymoon! You are close to just about everything and our last day we went to Chatham, which was only a little over a half hour drive. We did some sight seeing, visited lighthouses, saw a glass blowing demonstration, the JFK museum, visited Bass Hole (A MUST!), Scargo Tower (also A MUST!) and of course did some shopping and eating out! It was hard to leave! The host, Steve, couldn't have been more kind and was easy to reach with any questions (it was our first Vrbo stay). We are already planning to come back in the spring and using Steve again! Thank you so much!

Nice Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage. It was clean and comfortable, with extra blankets for the chilly nights. It was nicely located to accommodate our beach hopping and to explore the many quaint towns and villages on the Cape. One drawback was the TV was a bit frustrating to use.

Cute beach cottage in great location

This perfectly formed little cottage is immaculately decorated and is bigger than it appears in the listing. It is perfectly located for access to the beach, Hyannis main street and ferries, and is right in the middle of the Cape for access to all that it offers. Steve was super responsive and the check in process was seamless. Would definitely stay again.

Great little cottage

First off, the owner Steve was very responsive and helpful. Cottage was exactly as pictured and 2-3 houses away from the beach. There were only two of us so the small quarters worked but could be challenging with more people since there is only one bath. We didn't pay attention to the listing details and we were not aware that there wasn't a washer or dryer so we took a trip to the laundromat nearby. Great view of the water from the patio. Weather was not the best when we visited so we did not use the beach other than for walks but it would be a great option to have that so close. You can almost walk to Hyannis port for ferries to the islands - very close. The cottage is centrally located in the Cape so easy access to other towns. Great stay and trip for us. Thank you Steve.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this cottage. So cozy and comfortable We found everything we needed . Even found beach chairs. Host was so nice to communicate with. If you’re looking for a charming cottage in a great location this is it! The only thing we wanted that was not there was a couple of wine glasses.

Why they chose this property

I first stayed at The Breakwaters more than 30 years and loved it so much that I have stayed many times since. So much so, that I was finally able to purchase this cottage in December of 2018.

Since purchasing this property I have repainted the interior, renovated the kitchen and bathroom, restored the original wood floors in the living room and bedrooms, purchased new furniture throughout, and resided the exterior.

What makes this property unique

Perfect vacation location! Just steps to Sea Street Beach and only a mile from historic Main Street Hyannis.
