What an amazing stay! As we walked through front door we were welcomed with a generous gift basket followed by stunning views of the ocean. Two seals popped up to say hi! The house was so cozy. Excellent space for our family of 6. Comfortable seats/beds. Once settled in took a short walk to the historic lighthouse down the road. Look forward to staying again. A complete gem.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bob and Barbara's house. The location was excellent, within walking distance to town (about 20 minute walk). Great views, nice and quiet at night. Hottub was a hit for the kids.

Fantastic Oceanfront Home

Great location near Sand Hills beach and lighthouse. Close to main drag with cute shops & restaurants. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch in the morning and the back deck watching the seals. Bob was a great host and communicated with us throughout the stay.

Great Beach House

This beach house was perfect for our family! Scituate is a cute little town and about an hour train ride into Boston. The house was clean and well stocked. The kids loved being on the ocean, climbing the rocks/exploring, and the hot tub (and of course the treats in the welcome basket :) Bob was great at communicating. Thanks for a great stay!

Awesome Communication From The Owners. My Family And I Really Enjoyed Our Stay Here. Plenty Of Room For The Five Of Us. The Generous Welcome Basket When We First Arrived Was Greatly Appreciated And Set The Positive Tone For Our Fun And Relaxing Stay. Everything We Needed Was Provided And Available. Captivating Views And Sounds From The Ocean Entertained Us All. Comfortable Beds Provided Good Nights Sleep For All. Lighthouse And Jetty Were Fun To Explore. Restaurants And Stores Were Close by and enjoyed. Would Stay Here Again. Thanks For Your Hospitality.

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful week! The views from this home are unbeatable and the constant sound of the ocean is so peaceful. It’s a stone’s throw from the beautiful lighthouse and jetty’s where we did some fishing (and actually caught a striper!) and at low tide the lighthouse beach is perfect for seaglass hunting. It’s also a quick walk to the harbor full of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!
