About this property
Located directly on Pond, Swimming, Kayaking, Fishing, Beach Pass, A/C, Clean!
Tucked away in a quiet West Barnstable neighborhood, this beautifully remodeled home offers rare private access to Garretts Pond, a pristine 24-acre clear water kettle pond. Step out from the walk out lower level, stroll across the lawn, and you are at the water’s edge. Swim from your private dock, launch a kayak, or relax in the hammock or by the fire pit as the sun sets over the pond. An outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after a day on the water.
The home is clean, bright, and thoughtfully updated with quality finishes throughout. The fully equipped kitchen shines with modern touches and opens to a large wraparound deck with peaceful water views, patio furniture, and a grill that is piped directly to the propane tank so you never run out while cooking. Wood floors, custom tile showers, central A/C, and a whole house generator that switches on automatically will all add comfort and peace of mind to your stay.
Upstairs you will find a bedroom with a king bed and a bedroom with a queen bed along with a full bath, living, kitchen and dining area. The walk out lower level features an additional bedroom with a full bed, a second living room with sofa and futon, desk area, laundry area, and another full bath, providing plenty of space and privacy for couples or families. The home comfortably sleeps six.
Kayaks and a dinghy are included for guest use, along with paddles and life jackets. If you plan to fish, please be sure to bring your fishing gear and tackle. Garretts Pond is well known for great freshwater fishing.
A Barnstable beach pass is included, and the home is perfectly positioned for exploring the Cape. It is just a short drive to Barnstable Village, Mass Audubon trails, and bay beaches such as Sandy Neck and Millway, as well as Craigville Beach on Nantucket Sound.
Hyannis is nearby for shopping, restaurants, the airport, and ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. This central location makes it easy to enjoy everything Cape Cod has to offer while returning home to your own private pond retreat.

About the host
Hosted by 5082081854
We are Adrienne and Shane, lifelong Cape Cod residents who still live on the Lower Cape with our two children. We purchased this home in 2018 and have been continuously improving it ever since. Each winter we take on projects ourselves, from landscaping and yard work to dock upgrades and full interior renovations. In 2025, we completed the final phase of the downstairs renovation, making the home fully updated throughout.
We truly love this home and use it ourselves whenever we can. Some of our favorite moments are off season evenings by the fire pit, fishing from the kayaks, grilling on the deck with pond views, and relaxing inside by the fireplace with a movie. We love everything about Cape Cod, the ocean, the beaches, and the sunsets, and we enjoy sharing that experience with our guests. Our goal is to provide a space that feels clean, comfortable, and like a true home away from home.
Why they chose this property
We chose West Barnstable for its unique combination of privacy and convenience. It has a quiet, peaceful, Old Cape feel with nature all around, yet it is still centrally located so you can easily explore everything the Cape has to offer. Being on Garretts Pond was a huge part of that decision. The pond setting is calm and beautiful, and having direct access right from the backyard is something truly special.
We also love how close it is to so many great spots, from Sandy Neck Beach and Barnstable Harbor to walking trails, villages, and restaurants. You can spend the day at the beach or out exploring, then come back to a quiet waterfront setting at the end of the day.
What makes this property unique
What sets this property apart is the rare combination of a private freshwater pond setting and a fully updated, modern home. You have exclusive backyard access to Garretts Pond with your own dock, along with kayaks and a dinghy for swimming, paddling, and fishing right outside your door. The outdoor space, including the wraparound deck, fire pit, and outdoor shower, makes it easy to enjoy the setting all day and into the evening.
Inside, the home is fully renovated, clean, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. Guests consistently comment on how spotless, welcoming, and well cared for it feels, as well as the little details that make their stay easy. The layout offers space and flexibility for both families and couples, with a finished walkout lower level adding extra living space and privacy.
It is a place where you can truly relax, enjoy the water, and feel at home, which is exactly what we set out to create.
