Cape Cod Bay Oceanfront Carriage Cottage
Plymouth, Ellisville Vacation Rental - ID 39338

Peaceful and relaxing get-away!
Our family of 2 older teens and 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed our week at this magnificent location! The cottage was exactly as described, containing everything we needed for our stay, including in the kitchen (we prepared most of our meals), bed and bath. The location on the bluff overlooking the bay was truly spectacular, and we spent much time watching the seals play down below, seeing the changing shoreline (remarkable from high to low tide), and shooting stars at night. Just a short walk down to the expansive and very quiet beach - Renee the owner welcomed us warmly and showed us the best spots for swimming (and even for floating down an inlet from the marsh towards the north end of the beach!) Being contiguous with the sparsely visited state park was incredible - often being among a few on the entire beach. New England at it's best! Recommend taking a quick right on the sandy path just before the beach entrance to follow the trails throughout the marsh - wildlife and serenity abound (stay on the trail to avoid poison ivy!) Just a 5 minute drive to the grocery store and seafood market. Convenient to Plymouth and ferries to Marthas Vineyard, but we were content to spend nearly all our time at the property! Highly recommend this amazing spot! show more show less

Wonderful place and location
We very much enjoyed our stay anlt the cottage. Already planning to return next year and looking forward. Margarethe was pleasant to deal with and answered all of our concerns whenever they popped up. Thank you.

Quaint Cottage
Loved the property! Enjoyed all the walks we took. My dog had a blast! So cool seeing and hearing the seals. If you like hiking and are a nature lover you will love it.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location
My family had a wonderful stay at this cottage. I was pleasantly surprised at how private the location was. It's a place where someone truly can unwind while listening to the wildlife and ocean waves. Often times, we were the only ones on the beach. The ocean view from the cottage was spectacular. The cottage itself was clean and had ample space. The couch was so comfortable and perfect for reading. I loved that I could bring my dog on vacation with me! We all enjoyed watching the seals, taking nature walks, and exploring this tranquil area. I will definitely be staying here again in the future. show more show less

Wake up to the Songs of the Seals Each Morning
Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house nestled in the state park perched on a bluff overlooking the ocean. The rental house is located right next to the owners' summer home, but with nobody staying there, it felt quite secluded, but with easy access to downtown Plymouth and the Cape. We took full advantage of the trail network right outside the door and of daily strolls down the beach. You can enjoy watching wildlife from the cliff side chairs. We loved being just minutes away from restaurants, grocery shopping and even a gym while on this summer vacation. The house was clean and comfortable upon arrival and had everything we needed (including towels and sheets). Margarethe was very responsive to our questions and they provided guides to the area. The house was easy to maintain for the week and was a very family friendly experience. show more show less

Fun and relaxing week.
The cottage was clean and private. It had everything we needed. It was the perfect size for our family of 3. The state park trails were close and made for an easy trek to the beach. We even saw seals out on the rocks.

First Time on Cape Cod Bay !
Quaint cottage...great for older seniors who love the location & don't expect exotic quarters...got us to Cape Cod Bay for a reasonable off-season price...great restaurants within 15 miles...Enjoyed Plymouth area...for us, a first...sunny, cool weather for the most part of our stay...needed a quiet,one-week break and we got it !!!

Beautiful, peaceful location
This is a gorgeous property and so peaceful! The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The trail down to the beach was only a few minutes walk and the beach itself is stunning - we even got to see a family of seals! There is a more adventurous climb down to the beach right next to the cottage but we'd recommend the trail. We enjoyed grilling and relaxing in the chairs on the patio, and had a crazy weather week with the heaters running one night and the fan in full blast another; heads up there isn't any AC but opening the windows for the ocean breeze helped. Margarethe was a wonderful host, and answered any questions we had in such a timely manner. This was one of our favorite rentals that we have ever stayed at and we are looking forward to coming again! show more show less

Beautiful Escape
The cottage is a wonderful private escape. Communication on arrival and location was smooth and check in was a breeze. The property is gorgeous! Sunrises overlooking the bay with the seals were a beautiful daily treat. The adjacent walking trails in the park are well marked and peaceful. The beach expanse is a lovely walk with sandy spots to splash in comfortably. This was the perfect quiet family getaway.
