We loved our stay at Anne's gorgeous house. The house is very comfortable and clean, and the layout worked out great for our multi-generational vacation. The location of the house is also incredible. We loved being on the water and using the kayaks and SUPs. Anne was a fantastic host and very communicative. We had the best time and hope to return for many years.

Perfect family getaway!

Our extended family had a delightful stay at the Goldfish House and treasured its beautiful location right on the waterfront. We enjoyed going on morning excursions in the kayaks out to the Spit for a swim and walk on the tranquil beach. The house was well-equipped with all we needed, and Anne was an attentive host. We appreciated too that linens and laundry services are offered as a convenience. Highly recommend this special property!

The Goldfish house was an amazing place to stay for a summer getaway at Cape Cod. The location is private and house was immaculate. We really enjoyed riding bikes around the island and taking the kayaks out from the dock and out to Spit beach. Our boys were able to throw out a crab trap from the dock and caught a few crabs.Anne is a great host and was very responsive throughout the trip. We would definitely stay here again.

The perfect spot on the Cape!

What a wonderful home and location to host our family in this 4th of July weekend! We so appreciated and loved having use of multiple kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy. Daily trips down to the spit and paddling around Popponesset Island were favorite events! Having use of multiple bikes, to ride up to the Poppy marketplace was also highlight! We highly recommend this spot for any family’s holiday!

Wonderful time!

Close to everything yet peaceful area. Approx 20 min to ferry for Martha’s Vineyard. Minutes from wonderful seafood ( The Raw Bar) Few minutes from beach. Our host provided ideas for dining, information on local beaches and was most helpful! A must stay if you want a quiet, secluded and enjoyable experience.. hopefully a do over again!

Excellent family vacation on Cape Cod

This is a perfect family vacation house! The house is a great layout for everyone to have both their own space and also spend time together. The built-in activities (walking, swimming, biking, kayaking and paddle board) make for lots of summer fun! And of course you can’t beat the location. We felt comfortable and our kids were thrilled to wander/bike around New Seabury on their own. A slice of Norman Rockwell’s Americana.

What a lovely and beautiful place. Our family, ages 18-83 all comfortably fit in this beautiful home. The gathering space in the main area was large enough for the whole group to gather, play games, watch movies, enjoy meals, spend time together. The dock with kayaks, SUPs to use was my favorite. A short paddle to the beach, or you can enjoy a longer route. The water is calm and perfect for first timers on kayaks and stand up paddleboards. We loved all the games, indoor and outdoor, and also the huge selection of movies. There is one bedroom and bath that is very comfortable for folks with limited mobility. The kitchen is well stocked, we cooked most evenings. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice, clean and comfortable. We loved our time here.

We were in town for a quick work conference. The house was beautiful and spotless. Anne checked in before we arrived and after to make sure everything was up to par. The best part were the kayaks my business partners and I got to use after the conference. Definitely will be booking again.

Great Find

I am challenged in writing a review for this property, because I am concerned it will make it harder for me to book in the future. We stayed here with 4 adults and 4 children (ages 6 to 12). It was perfect for us in every way. The house is very nicely renovated and furnished. It is well stock with essentials and was very clean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all very nice to luxurious. Communications with the owner were easy and she was very responsive. We had a boat with us, so the location with the dock was perfect. Surrounded by beautiful homes, quiet (although there is a house being built across the street), and easy to get around. The neighborhood is also very nice for walking and bike riding. We always went to beach by boat or kayak, but appears to be a bit long if walking (so if that is a priority it may not be the best match for you). If I had any criticism, I think the list of tenant checkout cleaning was a bit excessive (e.g. wash and fold lines, wipe down counters, fridge, etc.), but they were fine with leaving the final load of laundry in the dryer. Overall we could not have been happier, and we will absolutely look to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Anne

Host profile image
I have known Popponesset and New Seabury since my infant days, arriving at 7 days old and spending each of my summers growing up here through adulthood. Hubby Lee & I live nearby on the Beach in Popponesset. We love being hosts/property managers and getting to meet and greet wonderful guests. Our Popponesset Island home is one of our great pride and joys, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our slice of paradise with one time and repeat vacationers.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located to all that Cape Cod has to offer but without the hassle of traffic along rte 28, 6a or 131 to points north. New Seabury has a unique upscale Resort 'Vibe' while neighboring Popponesset captures the charm of quintessential cape cod cottage living. Mashpee is the fastest growing town on Cape Cod, spurred on, no doubt ,by it's great shopping, restaurants and various options to enjoy the outdoors. We love it and hope you will have a chance to fall in love too :)

What makes this property unique

One of the last standing examples of 'Royal Barry Wills Architecture, this ranch was lived in and and loved by only two families since it's birth in 1966. A victim of the recesssion presented a unique opportunity for us to aquire this gem in the rough and fully remodel it with all the latest modern amenities in classic nantucket style design. Clearly not the most impressive home on Popponesset Island, but definately one of the best examples of breathing new and upscale life into a classic. Popponesset Island lies in Popponesset Bay, an arm of Nantucket Sound, and is separated from the mainland of Cape Cod by the narrow Popponesset Creek. It only has a total area of 0.39 square miles . 0.077 square miles of it is land, and 0.31 square miles is water. It's charm lays in it's discreet setting surrounded by breathtaking bay and ocean views and is heralded to be one of the best kept secrets of cape living on the Upper Cape.
