Great location and view

This house is in a great neighborhood and right on the shore with easy access down some stairs to the beach. We enjoyed ourselves, especially because the house is a family home that is very well-supplied with kitchen equipment and beach gear. Thank you Deb!

The location was excellent- waterfront on Little Buttermilk Bay, quiet space with comfortable home

The location was everything. Right on the beach by a beautiful bay. We loved using the kayaks provided and swimming in the bay. The view was outstanding; the house very comfortable; the amenities all provided; very close to excellent restaurants and easy to get onto Cape Cod. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing and quiet get-away.

Great Family Getaway

Debbie was very responsive and helpful. The property, location, and supplies were perfect for our family and two young kids (2 and 4). It was great to have access to everything we needed for beach and bay play - kayaks, life jackets, chairs, sand toys, sun umbrellas, etc.! The only heads up for families with little ones is that the bathrooms have shower stalls only, not bath tubs. However, we had the bay and the little ones learned how to shower! The basement level felt a bit damp at times, likely due to the very high amounts of rain this summer, but there were dehumidifiers there to help. It was very helpful to have laundry on site, too.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie RIder

We are three siblings who have spent countless vacations and weekends at our family cottage on Buttermilk Bay. Our great grandmother had the original cottage built in the 1920's and it has undergone several upgrades and expansions since then. Most recently in 2014. 2019 is the first year we are opening our home up to renters and we are looking for small groups that will take the same care that we do.

Why they chose this property

Our property is great for small groups, would be ideal for young families as the bay is serene and you can easily watch your young ones from the beach directly in front of the house. Castle building, crab catching and minnow chasing are a familiar sport for young beachgoers. This would also be a perfect getaway for up to 3 couples--winding down on the waterfront deck is a fabulous end of the day!
