“Just wow. The pictures don’t do it justice.” — August 2025 Guest Review
Oceanfront Timberframe Cottage is a rare and deeply peaceful waterfront retreat, set on 1.5 private acres on a verdant bluff above Cape Cod Bay. With soaring 14-foot timbered ceilings, wide-plank pine floors, a dramatic stone fireplace, and walls of glass overlooking the Atlantic, this is a home designed for serenity, beauty, and unhurried time together.
From the oceanfront breezeway, the view sweeps from Plymouth Harbor to Provincetown. Sunsets are vivid, the lights of Plymouth twinkle after dark, and the beacon of the Gurnet Lighthouse flashes across the bay. While the rocky shoreline below the bluff is not easily accessible, Plymouth Long Beach and other sandy beaches are just minutes away.
The Living Spaces
The Great Room is the heart of the home—vaulted, light-filled, and framed by timber trusses and barn-wood ceilings. White slip-covered seating, antique cupboards with beveled-mirror doors, and a wall of glass create a space that feels both relaxed and architecturally striking.
The kitchen runs the full length of the Great Room and is designed for cooks who want to remain part of the gathering. It features a 14-foot mahogany-plank island with dual undermount sinks and Grohe faucets, induction cooktops (movable, so you can cook facing the ocean), a Fisher & Paykel two-drawer dishwasher, and a Miele convection oven.
Bedrooms & Baths
Just off the Great Room is a main-floor bedroom with a raised sleeping alcove that projects toward the ocean. A queen four-poster British West Indies bed sits amid posts and beams, creating a jewel-box effect with ocean views and high windows for stargazing. French doors open directly onto the wraparound mahogany deck and outdoor shower.
The main house includes two full baths: • An upstairs bath with marble shower, pebble floor, skylights, mahogany vanity, and vessel sink • A lower-level bath serving a spacious leisure/sleeping room with fireplace, walk-in closet, and separate toilet alcove for privacy
The new oceanfront primary suite, connected by a delightful waterfront breezeway, is a showstopper. Vaulted wood ceilings, white vertical-pine walls, and expansive glass doors frame the sea. The ensuite bath features a walk-in Kohler shower with optional seat and grab bars, a 9-foot Carrara marble antique vanity, and breathtaking water views from both vanity and shower. A private water closet sits discreetly behind a rolling barn door.
Outdoor Living
A wraparound mahogany deck connects the Great Room, kitchen, and bedroom, nearly encircling the house. Highlights include: • A beautiful new outdoor shower with ocean and lighthouse views • Oceanfront fire pit • Weber gas grill with propane • Expansive lawn and uninterrupted views of the bay
Comforts & Conveniences
Guests consistently remark on how exceptionally well equipped the home is. You’ll find: • Ample high-quality linens, towels, and beach towels • A fully stocked kitchen with spices, oils, condiments, baking essentials, quality cookware, dishes, wine glasses, and small appliances • Laundry supplies • Excellent air conditioning • Two gas fireplaces • Firewood for the fire pit
Plymouth Long Beach is just 2 miles away. Depending on availability, guests may also have access to parking at our nearby House by the Sea, which offers a magnificent private, Hawaii-like beach.
Location
The cottage sits within the historic former Stone Estate, once an extraordinary oceanfront property with mansion, stables, gardens, polo fields, and guest houses. Today, it remains a quiet, verdant enclave just 4 miles from downtown Plymouth.
Plymouth offers excellent restaurants, live music, waterfront parks, historic sites, and whale watching. Day trips to Boston, Newport, and Cape Cod are easy, and seasonal ferries connect Plymouth with Provincetown, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket—without the long drive.
Or you may simply stay put. Many guests do.

About the host
Hosted by Robin
To me, creating a distinctive and worthy vacation getaway home is an art form. And before attempting this, my big-girl career had involved designing publications, (later creating magazine illustrations (google 'robinjareaux'.c) and painting expressionistic works on canvas. When I first decided to rent out my weekend home so I could renovate an outdated 50s cottage (which became, with serious infusions of green-love, this Oceanfront Timberframe Cottage), I did not know this would become my work and my passion. Working in 2-D was fun and rewarding, but my new 3-D art is creating vacation homes that themselves are 'works of art.' My goal with my homes is to create a setting that exceeds your expectations, helps you feel the spirit of the place, its locale, its history and natural beauty. I've heard guests/travelers say they can recognize the DNA of my homes. I want them to speak to you without having seagull pillows on the sofa. My gratitude is great: Your patronage lets me continue my ‘art form” a few more years. Please read the guest comments to see the generous and enthusiastic compliments we've received. My aim is authentic vibe using classic Nantucket decor, materials such as massive beams, barnwood ceilings, wide pine floors, antique cabinets, expanses of mahogany countertop, engaging appliances, stone fireplaces, and views that will take your breath away. Please look at 'all my rental listings' to see my portfolio: ‘’art” in the form of unique and exceptional vacation getaways. It is a labor of love... and it is for you.
Why they chose this property
Jaw-dropping Incredible wraparound ocean views, a light house across the water, fireworks over the sea, utmost privacy, this is EDEN. The reviews give a few hints and the joy people feel being here. And many guests come time after time. AND NOW, we have completed a long anticipated renovation which nearly doubles the size of the oceanfront parts of the home.
What makes this property unique
4 shoreline miles from Plymouth Rock and historic downtown Plymouth. 11 miles to Cape Cod “proper” and blissfully outside the worst of the Cape traffic. An easy 45 miles (be sure to travel off peak!) to Boston. Zero miles to bliss.
