My family enjoyed our stay at this Cape Cod Gem. Cozy environment and hang out areas. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and welcomed. 10/10 response time from the sweet owners. The kids loved swimming in John’s Pond and rinsing off in the outdoor shower. Perfect location to entertainment, stores and restaurants.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! We’re Ellie and Luiz a couple of travel lovers from the North Shore of Massachusetts and Brazil. We’ve always shared a passion for exploring new places, meeting new people, and finding hidden gems, so it felt only natural to open up our home and host others.

Cape Cod holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re excited to share it with you! From picturesque beaches and tranquil ponds to cozy cafés and beautiful nature walks, this area is packed with charm and adventure. We’ve poured a lot of love into making our vacation rental a comfortable and inviting space, and we’re happy to recommend our favorite spots. The places locals love and the hidden gems you won’t find in every guidebook.

We’re so glad you’re here, and we hope your stay is filled with special memories, relaxation, and a sense of belonging. Welcome to our little piece of Cape Cod, we can’t wait for you to experience all it has to offer!

Why they chose this property

Nestled on a quiet, tree‑lined street, our neighborhood captures the very best of Cape Cod charm. The area feels serene and secluded, with tall trees providing shade and privacy, and picturesque peeks of the pond through the leaves. Just a short stroll down the lane, you’ll find a sandy pond beach. A hidden gem where you can relax, swim, or launch a kayak for a peaceful afternoon on the water.

Ideal for morning walks, bike rides, or evening strolls with the family, this tranquil setting offers a sense of calm and belonging, while still being just moments from all the action that Mashpee has to offer. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of the Cape and create lasting memories.

What makes this property unique

Our home offers the best of both worlds. A serene, quiet setting just steps from a beautiful sandy pond beach, yet still close to all the action and amenities you could want on Cape Cod. The walkable neighborhood and quiet streets make it ideal for morning strolls, afternoon bike rides, or evening walks with the family.

We’re located just a short drive from Mashpee Commons, where you’ll find a great mix of restaurants, cafés, and boutiques, making it easy to dine, shop, and explore. A variety of beautiful beaches, from ocean to pond, are just moments away, giving you endless ways to soak up the sun and experience the charm of the Cape.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful spot to relax or a convenient home base to explore the area, our property delivers the perfect blend. A quiet, cozy space that’s close to everything
