Oceanside Nantucket-style Village of beautiful townhouses. Tranquil, sunny 2 bedroom 2-story townhouse,100 yards from private beach in New Seabury resort.

Short drive to luxury shops, movies and restaurants at Mashpee Commons and easy day trip to Martha's Vineyard.

Easy to get to from Boston, Providence or New York, located on upper Cape Cod on Nantucket Sound. The best of each season from a charming village of Nantucket-style townhomes and cottages. Heavenly summers by the sea, fall foliage and antique-and-pub-crawling destination, winter get-away so close to main highways but seems like a universe away when walking the beach first thing with your morning coffee, or sipping wine watching the sunset. Perfect little spot to decompress and do nothing.

- "This place was perfect for my husband, myself, our 8 year old daughter and 6 year old son. The place was vert clean and very cozy for our family of 4. Almost everything we needed was provided which made packing for this trip easier. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly and overall the neighborhood was very quiet. The beach is less than a five minute walk and can be accessed via a set of steps or a shell lined path. The sand was clean, soft, and there were lots of families with kids. The surf is very kid friendly as well. There is not much difference between high tide and low tide. There are some small pebbles on the shore line which can hurt your feet, so if you have weak soles of your feet like me, water shoes would help. The kids had no issues with the pebbles. The ocean was warm for August and we spent most of our vacation at the beach. The location is great, walking and running paths are near by and there is a small marketplace, restaurants, and mini golf within walking distance. The central location also allows for many trips to attractions and shopping all around the Cape. We found the owner was very responsive and had no issues with our stay. We really enjoyed our end of Summer vacation and I would highly recommend this place. Everything was just so easy and comfortable."

The perfect Maushop property. Private beach, walk to the Popponesset Inn or the MarketPlace. Great for families. Freshly painted. Upgraded furniture (bunk beds on main floor for the kids and queen on second). Close the the world renowned Raw Bar.

- "The cottage was perfect for me and my two adult daughters. It was exactly as it appears in the pictures and very well stocked. The only thing to note is that the downstairs bathroom is a powder room, not a full bath. We loved the Maushop Village community and the proximity of this cottage to the beach! I would strongly recommend staying here if you're in the area!" - "Very nice property." - "Great spot, we loved it!" - "We enjoyed our stay in this small home condo. The condo was much better in person than the photos suggested. The room with the bunk beds also has a twin bed, which was fabulous! The only complaint I have was the shower curtain. It was moldy and grossed me out (easy fix for future guests). The private beach was amazing!!!!"

- "We had a great stay at Jean’s condo!!! The beach was a very short walk. I especially enjoyed the patio. The outside furniture was wonderful. And I could view the ocean from there! Jean was very quick to respond to any problems! Great spot!!!" - "The house and location were perfect for our family of 3. Ocean views from the spacious patio and a very short walk down to the private beach. Beach chairs and beach umbrellas along with beach towels made packing so much easier. Also it was another short walk to the marketplace for coffee, groceries and restaurants. A/C in both bedrooms and having 2 full bathrooms was really nice. Jean was very helpful and communication was fantastic."

It’s a perfect location a block from the beach and a short walk to the country club amenities (coffee shop, market, restaurants, bar, mini golf). Owner made everything super easy - checkin/out, parking, trips to the beach (beach towels, chairs, and umbrella for guest use made the beach an even better experience).
