Buzzards Bay Home w/ View: Steps to Cape Cod Canal

Make your summer getaway perfect by staying at this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental in Buzzards Bay! Situated on a quiet street within walking distance from the Cape Cod Canal, 'Dunrovin Family Retreat' is the perfect home base for your next Massachusetts vacation. Spend your days kayaking in the bay, visiting Cape Cod's magnificent beaches, or learning about American history in Plymouth. After your adventures, sip wine on the private deck while your pets roam freely in the fenced backyard!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Full Bed | Bedroom 2: Full Bed | Living Room: Queen Sofa Bed | Sunroom: Full Futon

'Dunrovin Family Retreat' was recently remodeled, but retains much of its 1920s-era charm! You'll find hardwood floors throughout the 1,300 square feet of living space, as well as all of the comforts of home including an air conditioning system. This home-away-from-home also has a brand new outdoor shower with hot and cold water, which makes rinsing off after a day at the beach easier than ever!

If you're able to reel in any fish from the canal, cook them up in the well-equipped kitchen! The kitchen has everything you need to make all of your favorite recipes.

Whether you fall asleep in one of the 2 full beds or in the living room on the full-sized futon, you're bound to get a good night's sleep!

Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and step out onto the back porch. Sip on your morning coffee on the porch as you watch the sun peak above the horizon as it illuminates the bay and ocean!

Your dogs will love this home-away-from-home just as much as you! While you enjoy a glass of wine on the back porch, your four-legged friends can frolic in the fenced-in backyard.

-- THE LOCATION --

This home is in the perfect location to experience everything Massachusetts has to offer! Drive across the Bourne Bridge to visit all of the charming Cape villages like Provincetown and Chatham. Head to Hyannis Port and hop aboard a ferry to visit Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard!

Bring your rod and reel down to the Cape Cod Canal to try your hand reeling in some fresh fish. The canal is chocked full of striped bass!

If you don't feel like fishing, borrow one of the 2 sea kayaks and paddle around the bay. While you're on the water, you may even see some whales!

Days of surf, sand, and sun await just a short drive away at one of the many area beaches. Onset Beach is one of the closest, but a plethora of gorgeous white sandy beaches await right across the bridge in Cape Cod!

Learn all about the Pilgrims during a day trip to Plymouth, just 20 minutes away! Children and adults will love visiting the Plimoth Plantation living history museum.

Cozy cottage
This cozy cottage was clean and welcoming. We visited during the off season and it was quiet. From the cottage there was a short walk over the railroad tracks to a beech. The canal was close by and there were many places to go hiking as well as walk the beeches.

Wonderful Holiday location.
This was a cute little cape cod cottage that was more than enough space for me and my dachshunds. Fenced in yard was great and small deck allowed me to sit outside as well! Bob (the owner) was awesome with his communication and the property was just as expected. Location was fantastic knowing the area, and used delivery & door dash with no issues! I am looking at date in the spring and summer to stay again! Thanks for a great spot to crash for the holiday, it was much needed and worth the cost to rent and not be in a hotel for the week!

A great little cottage offered so much more than expected. Location was convenient and fenced in yard was a great space for our dog. Hope to go back next year!

Not worth the cost.
I know that it's peak season and a good location, but I found this place to be very lacking in comfort for the price. No end tables anywhere to comfortably rest a drink or phone on. A broken recliner. An unusable, stopped up bathroom sink, a rotted, rusted out barbecue grill, dead flowers out front to greet you, noisy trains feet from the bedroom, throw pillows still proudly displaying their WalMart tags, broken kitchen sink stopper (no dishwasher, so that made doing dishes difficult), trip hazards with uneven floors and a view that can't be seen if you sit down. There were things that I liked about the place and probably would have given it a much better rating if I'd paid 1/3 of what I ultimately paid for it.

The cottage is in a convenient location for visiting the Cape. The location it self is in a small road of the main road against the main railroad that separates it from the sea shore. The area has seen better times and is slightly run down. The house itself also needs some TLC. It's a small house, has two queens beds and no dining area. The furniture is old and large for the living room.

Stunning home away from home!
It's easy to forget that you're right off of the bustling route 6 once you get to the house. It's a beautiful cottage with absolutely gorgeous views of the bay and it's so quiet. You don't get the highway noise, and even the train that occasionally passes by is practically whispering. The whole house is so cozy and inviting, you feel right at home right away. 10/10 for sure.

Buzzards Bay Getaway
I loved the location and the overall feel of the property. The views are spectacular and the train which went by occasionally was quiet as well as delightful. Some feedback: -More fans (there were only two window fans) -The location mentioned a pull out bed from under another bed in a room which was inaccurate -Neighbors were friendly but cars were consistently blocking the driveway
