Welcome to Sports' Viewpoint, a beloved Brewster retreat just steps from Pilgrim Pines Association Beach, where ocean views, original artwork, treasured antiques, and decades of Cape Cod history come together in one unforgettable home.
Built in 1977 by a Brewster native affectionately known as "Sport," this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom saltbox colonial was thoughtfully designed around the things she loved most: light, air, and the sea. Today, her family continues to share this special place with guests seeking something increasingly rare: a home with soul.
Unlike a typical vacation rental, Sports' Viewpoint is filled with stories. Original artwork created by family members hangs throughout the home. Antiques collected over a lifetime add warmth and character to every room. Books authored by family members (and propositioned for movies!) line the shelves, inviting guests to slow down, unplug, and settle into the rhythm of Cape Cod.
One of the home's owners is an acclaimed author whose novels have captivated readers around the world. Many of her books can be found throughout the house, making this the perfect retreat for readers, writers, artists, and dreamers alike.
Morning coffee on the deck. A favorite novel in hand. Ocean breezes drifting through open windows. Fresh roses climbing the cedar shingles. Long conversations that somehow last until sunset.
This is the Cape you'll remember long after you've gone home.
This thoughtfully designed home comfortably accommodates up to six guests and features: ★ King bedroom with adjustable bed ★ Queen bedroom with adjustable bed ★ Third bedroom with queen bed (main floor) ★ Two full bathrooms ★ Bright living spaces with bay views ★ Well equipped kitchen ★ Dining area surrounded by books, art, and family history ★ Spacious deck with outdoor dining ★ Brand new grill ★ Beautiful yard and path to the beach ★ Original artwork and antiques throughout
The classic saltbox design fills the home with natural light, while glimpses of Cape Cod Bay remind you just how close the water is.
The Story Behind the House
Sport grew up in Brewster when classes at the town school numbered only eight students. Years later, she returned to the town she loved and built this home on family property overlooking the bay. Art was one of Sport's greatest passions. The Asian prints displayed throughout the home were collected by family members living in Japan during the 1930s, while other pieces were discovered in one of Orleans' beloved art shops during the 1950s. Outside, an heirloom Van Fleet rose traces its roots back to Brewster in 1930. A cutting from the original rose was planted here when the home was built and continues to bloom each June with delicate pale pink blossoms and an unforgettable fragrance.
Location One of Sport's favorite things about this home was its proximity to the beach and it's easy to see why. Spend your days exploring the Brewster Flats, collecting shells, swimming in Cape Cod Bay, visiting local galleries, or simply watching the changing colors of the water. Perfectly positioned between the Cape Cod Canal and Provincetown, Sports' Viewpoint makes an ideal home base for exploring the entire Cape.
This home is especially suited for: ★ Couples traveling together ★ Readers and book lovers ★ Writers and artists seeking inspiration ★ History enthusiasts ★ Cape Cod traditionalists ★ Guests who appreciate antiques, artwork, and character
Because of the staircase, treasured artwork, antiques, books, and delicate décor throughout the home, Sports' Viewpoint is best suited for adults and older children who will appreciate and respect its unique character. Sport never missed a sunset from this spot. We think you'll understand why.
