About this property

Family Retreat Built Into The Sands Of White Horse Beach, sleeping for 7

Welcome to our beach house! We have enjoyed many years in our sandy retreat and hope to share it with you as well. Located in the White Horse Beach section of Plymouth, a unique collection of homes built directly on the dunes of one of the most popular and sandy beaches on the South Shore. Our house is located just one house back from the beach with great views of the blue water and only sixty feet from the deck to the beach stairs.
We hope you will visit our home and enjoy it the way we have as a family for decades. We certainly understand that you are visiting to enjoy the beach, relax and spend time with family and friends, however we would like to make clear that our home is surrounded by family homes and we are not a "party house". We truly hope you enjoy your time with us, but it is very important to us that our guests are respectful and courteous to our neighbors and respect their privacy and enjoyment of their time on the beach, as we know you would expect from them during your vacation.
The home has four bedrooms, three with queen beds and one with a twin, providing comfortable arrangements for up to seven guests. Two of the queen bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with the full bathroom. There is a sitting area with television and DVD off the first floor kitchen, along with an expandable dining room table. From here you can head out the back door and onto our large deck. With views of the ocean to both the north and south and surrounded by beach grass, this is the perfect place to gather the family, catch some sun, share a cocktail or just relax with a good book. The deck has outdoor dining arrangements, a Weber Grill and steps from the deck onto the boardwalk leading to the beach.
Heading upstairs you will find a large living room area with couch, love seat and television. This open area is great spot for the whole family to gather and relax. Off the living room are two more bedrooms, one with TWO queen beds and excellent ocean views and the other with a twin bed. The house is cooled by two window A/C units, one on each floor.
We provided two deeded parking spots for the house located a short stroll back down the boardwalk onto Taylor Ave.

What a wonderful week! My family rents multiple cottages and it was a great central location. The double living room was awesome, and the outside shower was great! Easy walk up the boardwalk. Host was great at getting back to me with any questions we had. Would recommend and stay again!

Family beach retreat

The house was spacious and had a old-timer Cape Cod feel to it. We had family dropping in to visit and there was room for everyone. Being steps away from the beach we were making memories with morning coffee on the beach and watching the sunset in the evenings!

Beach house

The place was an amazing location. Worked out well but a bit deceiving. TVs didn’t work and the outdoor shower head was broken and not a great cleaning job. But otherwise we had a blast on the porch and slept comfortably.

House needs new owner or cleaning company!

The house layout was great for 3 adults and 3 kids-1,4,8 with a second floor "recreation type" area with TV-Games-etc. The boys slept upstairs - 2 in two bed room and infant in single bed room. Adults had two bedrooms on main level- small living area with tv and dining table/chairs (but no couch). Nice large deck with no view of water at all but a Sliver. Very short walk to beach. The beach itself was nice and wide at low tide but crowded unless you hike with your gear about 1/4 mile to far end where it was much better..People were super friendly at White Horse Beach as opposed to other locations we've been to.. No fires were allowed at night which was Very dissapointing Cons: 1. VERY DIFFICULT Unloading and carrying All our stuff To the house. If you have ANY limitations by age or fraility pick another place. Took us 4 trips back and forth to parking area ( which is approx.1/4 Mile Away!) with 25% of the walk thru sand..Just an FYI. 2. Cleanliness! This place has Not been thoroughly cleaned OR updated in a long time. Bathtub grout and seals were disgusting--VERY dissapointing 3. AC- One unit in Kitchen for whole first floor! The weather was poor when we were there so it wasnt Extremely hot and they had fans in each room so that was a blessing. Overall- still a great vacation but since we have been coming to The Cape for over 5 years this place was the Least Favorits for sure

As advertised!

Great beach house! Everything was as advertised. Lack of close parking makes moving in and out a bit of a pain but once we were there, the beach was only steps away! Bedrooms were comfortable and landlords easy to communicate with. Dropped off propane and fixed stove immediately upon request.

Location location location

This house is one house away from a great beach. So much fun to step out of the house and practically be on the beach. Although the beach is public, public parking is unavailable, so it was usually quiet and never crowded. This house has some great things and some not great things: In addition to the proximity of the beach, it has a spacious deck with a dining table and umbrella. We spent a lot of time on the deck! In addition, you get access to a private parking lot. The upstairs is great if you have lots of guests. In addition to two bedrooms (3 beds) there is a nice den up there. On the downside: there is a tremendous amount of clutter/ junk through the house, especially in the small kitchen. Some of the things I. The kitchen were dirty - but you can’t expect a cleaning service to check through piles of stuff. They could get rid of 3/4 of the kitchen items and the place would be a lot more comfortable. There was also clutter in the rest of the house, though not to the extent of the kitchen. The appliances are older, as are the furnishings and could use updating. I didn’t find the interior to be very pleasant because of this, but then we spent our time outside on the deck or beach so it was fine. Also note that parking is down a path and across the road. Since there is sand involved, skip the wheeled luggage and plan to carry everything into the house.

Beautiful beach steps away

The place is as described. Expect some noise on weekend , laud music and some fireworks, but during the week it’s quite. Family oriented. The water is perfect for swimming, calm and low. The place is clean and comfortable.

Perfect beachside getaway!

This house is well appointed and directly on the beach, just one house back. Plenty of room and a great deck to spend evenings when we had too much sun :) The property manager was communicative and provided all of the information needed for a perfect stay.

great location near lovely beach; could use some upgrades

The house had good space and great location. However, the owners need to replace the air conditioning window units. They are full of black mold. This is a problem for many people with allergies. The house could also use a new beach umbrella. The one there was broken. Also, be sure to tell people to bring towels. The best part is being so close to the beach.

Great location!!!

It was a great location steps away from the beach. There was a nice deck with the beautiful view. It had enough sun in the morning and perfect shade in the afternoon. We got there during a tropical storm passing by so the house in front of our rental house blocked all the heavy winds. Definitely a big plus there was a warm outdoor shower. We had 2 infants and other children with us and the house had enough space for everyone( there is a living room upstairs for kids to play). The kitchen could use some improvements or updates but overall it was a pleasant experience . I would definitely recommend this place to stay at.

Great Stay at White Horse Beach

Overall a great stay at White Horse Beach. Although the water was very cold we enjoyed our time on the beach and the relaxation the location provided. The house location was perfect and the ease of going to an from the beach was a huge plus! We were able to go back and forth from the beach throughout the day very easily and it was lovely to her the waves crashing at throughout the day, but especially at night from our bedroom window! The upstairs of the property was awesome and very spacious to accommodate many guests and a great area for family games. It was a huge plus that beach chairs, linens etc. were provided and the property managers were quick to respond and very helpful leading up to our stay. A major downfalls to the property was parking. The house is situated just one house back from the beach (which is great), but because of that and the set up of the area unloading groceries and luggage and getting to your car were very difficult. Additionally, we were really looking forward to the outdoor shower. It was fine to rinse your feet off after the beach, but it was very dirty and overgrown with grass and weeds. There was also no privacy or changing area to dress following an outdoor shower. Overall, our stay was great. the house accommodated my family very well and it was amazing how close to the beach it was. The "neighborhood" felt like a little secluded village.

Great house on perfect location

Great location on the beach in a non-crowded area of White Horse Beach. The house is well equipped and clean. However kitchen cabinets could be cleaner inside. The furniture is a little bit old-fashioned but clean and functional. A very lovely terrace outside with large gas bbq, table, chairs and beach chairs. Beds and mattresses are good. The outside shower is a private cabin and ideal to wash off all the sand. We stayed for 10 days and were sorry that we had to leave.

Very impressed with the property. Worked well with our family and friends that joined us there.

We greatly enjoyed our stay in Ethan’s Home. We were able to get right in during day one. The property was cleaned prior to our arrival. We had run out of propane late during our 2nd day and there were 2 brand new tanks at our door prior to 9am the next morning. We greatly appreciated the urgency in getting those replenshished for us. The beach was just steps away from the property, but there is also sand just off the back porch which made it enjoyable for the kids after dinner. Our baby monitor even worked on the beach which came in handy during daytime naps! I would recommend this property for anyone looking for an enjoyable vacation in Plymouth, MA.

The house was pathetic perfect beach house. Steps from the beach which was perfect with the kids and all the amenities of your own home.When we got there the grill was not working so I just sent an email to let them know and a brand new grill was delivered the next morning! The beach was perfect and so was the house. I would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants that living at the beach vacation.

Enjoyed our trip!

Property was very clean and spacious. Loved the fact that the kids could have their own private space upstairs. This property had 4 queen size beds with the linens supplied which was fantastic. We did have problems with the internet service, even though Ethan tried to figure it out it never really got resolved and we got hit with big overages….. Teenagers…. Also, the refrigerator was not cold enough and we felt like things might even spoil. The beach was wonderful, we loved just walking out the door and seeing the beautiful blue water.
