Sun-Filled Renovated Cape Steps To Private Beach, Central AC
Marion Vacation Rental - ID 33364

We have lived in Acton, Massachusetts for fifteen years and have been renting in Marion and Mattapoisett for most of that time. In December of 2019, we decided it was time to put down some roots in our favorite little corner of the world, so we purchased this beautiful Marion house from a wonderful woman who called it her year-round home for many, many years. She attended to the house with exceptional care and had it renovated from top to bottom in 2004, sparing no expense for fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. We just knew that this was "the" house for us when we first set our eyes on our very own private piece of tranquil Aucoot Cove. This quaint town has a rich sailing history as well as close proximity to Cape Cod and the Islands without the bridges, traffic, or congestion.

About Us
Michael has worked as a manager for a medical device company for 24 years. In his spare time he enjoys fine woodworking--we have a number of his custom pieces throughout the house. Mike is an avid saltwater fisherman and is looking forward to another terrific season on Buzzards Bay, Vineyard Sound, and in the canal. Meghan is a seventh-grade English teacher who loves to read, look for sea glass on the beach, and walk the family Golden Retriever on wonderful nearby trails.


What is special about this property?
We spend most of our days reading on our private beach or deck, kayaking and paddle-boarding in the cove, clamming and quahogging at low tide, swimming at Marion's adorable public Silvershell beach, golfing, or biking to the village for ice cream or grilled cheese at Kate's. Every summer, we day-trip over to the Cape, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cuttyhunk from nearby ferries in New Bedford, Falmouth and Hyannis. When it rains, we drive to New Bedford's amazing Whaling Museum. And no summer is complete without a trip to nearby Water Wizz water park in Wareham!

When we aren't grilling on our new Weber gas grill or throwing a good old-fashioned lobster/clam boil with friends, we love to head to one of the great seasonal restaurants in the nearby area. Our favorites include: Oxfords for fried clams, Turk's in Mattapoisett for sushi and seafood, burgers at Brewfish in Marion, or even window-service at Kool Kone in Wareham.


What is special about your town?
Marion's rich history is rooted primarily in sailing, seafaring and whaling, but it also boasts author Henry James and President Grover Cleveland as one-time residents. Currently, Marion is known for quaint and idyllic summer living as well as the reputable private school, Tabor Academy.
