Hello I live in Massachusetts with my daughters and dogs. We are hosting our waterfront vacation home for families and groups who will love it as much as we do. It’s the perfect spot for swimming, paddling and enjoying nature. Whether you like gorgeous sunsets over the water, watching sea birds fish, crabbing at low tide, sunning yourself on the dock or naps on the chaise lounge chairs, this is an outdoors delight for all ages. We hope you will treat it as if it’s your own!
