About this property
Family-Friendly, Oceanfront Scituate Rental Steps from the Beach
Large oceanfront home with breathtaking views and only steps to the beach is now available for bookings!
Centrally located between Boston and Cape Cod, Scituate is a quintessential seaside town with a working harbor and access to beaches, swimming, boating, fishing and hiking. Boston is about one hour north and is accessible by car, ferry or train while historic Plymouth is only a 30-minute drive south and Cape Cod only a little further.
This home features 3,000+ sq. ft. of living space, 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, unobstructed views of the ocean and is steps from sandy Peggotty beach, all of which is located on a quiet, private way at the start of Third Cliff. The large front deck offers stunning ocean sunrises in the morning and full days of sunshine overlooking the water while the back deck allows for late afternoon sun, evening grilling and watches over the back yard which is suitable for games and activities.
The home also offers a fully-equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer, an open floor plan with two large living areas, wireless internet, cable TVs, DVD player with DVDs, books, games, fireplace, wet bar, gas grill, outdoor deck furniture, beach toys/chairs and a two-car garage with ample additional parking.
Conveniently located just one mile from Scituate harbor allows quick access to cute shops & boutiques, pastry and coffee shops, great restaurants, ice cream shops, a movie theater, a grocery store, banks and a pharmacy.
Superb location for swimming, boating, paddle boarding, surfing, walking, biking, golfing, fishing off the sea wall directly in front of the house and exploring everything the area has to offer.
Please note, some furniture and decor may be different upon arrival and the home is not equipped with A/C, though fans are provided and the oceanfront location allows for breezes to easily circulate through the house. There are no open flames (including fire pits) allowed during your stay. The home is stocked with a generous starter supply of paper and soap products but you may need to supplement this during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Meredith Ryan
Why they chose this property
I am the third generation in my family to own this home. My grandparents purchased this property, what used to be an oversized summer cottage, in 1959 to be able to spend summers by the sea with their growing family. In the mid-80s, wanting to relocate to Scituate permanently, they took down that home and built the home as it stands today. Their eight children then took ownership of the home and more recently, in 2015, I purchased the home from my father and his siblings. This house has been central to family gatherings and lazy weekends and holds a very special place in my heart.
What makes this property unique
The location of the home is ideal - immediately on the ocean, steps to the beach, a mile to the harbor, among all of the activities in the area (swimming, boating, golfing, exploring the beach and marine life, walking, surfing, hiking, sledding, ice skating) - and offers enough space for even large families to be comfortable.
