Home Description

There are homes that are advertized as oceanfront,but upon arrival,it is apparent that oceanfront really means "near the ocean" With regret, you discover that you must walk or drive to the ocean. There's nothing you can do about it but wish you had contiued to peruse the site. However, when WE say oceanfront, we mean that after you wake up, cook a delicious breakfast in a fully stocked kitchen with every ammenity, eat inside at one of the tables in the house that seat 17, or on the porch lined with rocking chairs or in our massive front yard at a table with amazingly comfotable chairs, you decide to hit the beach. You grab your beachtowel and beach chair,and walk across the street enter a 5 foot path lined with white shells and the kind of fence you see painted in ocean scenes and step onto one of the most beautiful, private 3 mile stretch of beach anywhere south of Boston, including congested Cape Cod. If you're an early riser, you would have already witnessed a spectacular crimson sunrise brightening the sea-blue horizon while sipping cofee or tea rocking on the porch breathing in the amazing sea air, cooled by sea breezes. Although my family, which began with my grandparents over 80 years ago, spent all our summers here, we have never taken this blessing for granted.The house contains a fully stocked kitchen with dishwasher and dryer in one of the 2 pantries, 3 dining areas, 2 living room spaces, each with HD flat screen televisions with Xfinity and Netflix, and 6 spacious bedrooms. On the second floor is a private room with a queen bed, another room with a double bed, a third bedroom with a twin bed with windows on every side to view the beach, Boston lighthouse and the green- blue Atlantic Ocean and a room with side by side double beds. There is a full bathroom on this floor with tub and walkin shower while the first floor imcludes a half bath and another full bat tub and shower. On the third floor there are 2 bedrooms, each with with a skylight , 2 twin beds and a double bed.There is central air, if the wealther is hot enough. We want you to feel at home and be as comfortable and happy as we are when we arent renting. Back patio with grill is adjacent to the bocce/horseshoe pit that runs the length of the house.

About The Area

The saying goes, "If your lucky enough to be at Nantasket Beach, then you're lucky enough." Chronicle once described the area as "A hidden gem." This beach town, just 20 minutes south of Boston, has the feel of Cape Cod but what it doesn't have are the congested streets, limited parking, waiting lines and closed beaches because of shark sitings. The town of Hull sits on a peninsula between Boston and Cape Cod and although it is well known and loved by the many winter and summer residents and innumerable loyal vacationers, it is one of those beaches that has somehow continued to elude the masses. Because of that, the beach, restaurants, boardwalk, arcades, ice ream parlors etc. are bustling with Nantasket beach enthusiasts but are never overcrowded. Ferries from local piers can transport you to Boston for wonderfully exhaustiong sightseening excursions, but allow you to return to the serenity of our home where your extended family can gather comfortably in our many inside and outside spaces. So while you are together, there are more than enough areas to hang out.  

House Rules

I prefer not to use the term rules because it sounds so uninviting. I provide a contract that specifies our expectations so that your experience as well as ours is a positive one. The house sleeps 17, has parking for 6 cars and is in a wonderful neighborhood where people watch out for eachother. We have lived here as summer residents for over 80 years and prefer multigenerational fanilies who want a happy, hassle free vacation where a family can gather together and  lifetime of memories can be made. 

Suitability

Suitable for all, although it is not wheelchair accessible; there are only 4 stairs front and back to enter the home and once inside there are multiple couches to relax on.
