Seconsett Island Cottage
Port Cottage # 2 Mashpee, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
|

|
|
Enjoy your vacation in an authentic Cape Cod seaside neighborhood. It is located on Waquoit Bay, only steps back from the saltwater beach with gorgeous waterviews. The beach on this saltwater bay is just steps away. It is a perfect location for families, time away with friends, or for couples looking for a place to "get away from it all". Take advantage of the many activities nearby, then enjoy your peaceful retreat when your day is done. After a busy day, come home and take a dip in the warm ocean bay. We also have a wonderful Cape outdoor shower, complete with hot water. You will find yourself relaxing and may even sigh as you drive across the causeway and view the water on both sides on the way to your peaceful retreat.
For a full day at the beach, South Cape Beach, a mile long white sandy beach, is a short drive away; no highway travel is necessary to get there, and the traffic is minimal. Located on one of the southernmost points of Cape Cod, the water is exceptionally warm, yet still refreshing. After a busy day, enjoy the breeze on our cheery sun porch. Take beautiful sunset photos right at our beach.
Walk along the causeway for an up-close look at the nesting osprey; at night, you may be able to see the lights on Martha's Vineyard across Nantucket Sound. This restful sanctuary by the sea is off the beaten path, yet so close to so many activities and attractions. The house is located, not in a development, but in a traditional Cape Cod seaside neighborhood on one of Mashpee's "finger" islands. Most of our guests tell us that their stay is more than they have imagined, and many come back each year, even in the off-season!
Seconsett Island is surrounded by salt water and accessible by car over a causeway. From Wikipedia: A "causeway" is a road elevated on a sandbank, usually across a body or water or wetland. See the "Aerial view" of the island below.
