Waterfront apartment rentals

Cape Cod Canal Home
You could not select a better location than this, with access to the Cape, beaches, and the Canal road for biking and walking. The apartment is modern and immaculate with a nice deck on which to relax. To top it off you could not find more pleasant hosts than Diane and Barry. We will surely visit again!

Beachside Condo with Balcony - Oceanside Condos
Beautiful apt for a couple! You can see and fall asleep by the ocean. My husband and I stayed for a wedding, but we'll definetely be back in the summer to take advantage of the pool to teach our baby how to swim!

King bed/Hot Tub/Waterfront-The Lotus
Tara is an absolutely wonderful host! We had the BEST girls weekend relaxing in the hot tub and checking out nearby shops and restaurants. The location is amazing. We're already thinking about planning our next trip to the cape! Thank you so much for having us! 🩷

Harbor view apartment, a quick walk from the ferry
I had a restful stay at Mark's place. It's in walking distance to the ferry along with other amenities like bike rental, supermarket, local restaurants, the Net Result, as well as the ferry terminal. It's a great option for anyone who wants to visit MV without a car as local buses are also nearby. Mark tends to his home with care. It's a distinctive place with tons of character, just like MV, which is why I've been returning to the island for 30+ years. I'll be back!

Cape Cod Getaway with 2 Kayaks
We had a a great time and really loved the location and communication with the host! The pond is practically the back yard and easy access to bring our kayaks in. Close to the bike trail and all of the awesome Dennis beaches. One of our best cape vacation homes we stayed at!

Bright Condo on private beach
The condo location is ideal for a quiet beach getaway or a sightseeing excursion. It is located at the outermost point of Cape Cod right on a private beach next to the Atlantic Ocean inlet. Beautiful yet comfortable condo+beautiful views=magnificent vacation

Lovely room with one double bed
Martha and her place was perfect for my needs. Martha was a pleasure to talk to. She was always available and very cool. I'll be back! Thank you Martha

Waterfront Home w/ Dock, Heated Pool, Kayaks & A/C
Prescott’s house is such a relaxing place to stay with a big group. The house has a very pretty view and is very clean and peaceful. We are very grateful for such a nice stay at this beautiful house. The BBQ outside didn’t work great but other than that we had a wonderful time! Thank you Prescott.

Waterfront New Cottage Private Beach
What a cool spot! Stayed a couple nights with friends for a "Book Retreat" and had the best time reading in the Hammock, chatting by the fire pit, and cooking together in the kitchen.

Waterfront Fun Dogs Welcome!
My large family and I had a great stay during a recent wedding in town. The house was large and offered everyone their own privacy but also extremely cozy. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen was expansive. Views were beautiful. We will 100% book again in the future!

Waterfront★ Hot Tub ★ Kayaks ★ Firepit ★ Pet OK
From the moment we entered until We packed up we felt a world away from the house selling process. Aruna and Joe have done a beautiful job decorating the house inside and out. It felt so cozy to sit with the gas fireplace and look at the mallards, Canada geese and swans float by. The location was perfectly situated in a very safe neighborhood yet close to route 28. We loved our stay and hope to come back to explore the pond by kayak. Thank you so much!

Water Front Pond House - 3 acre Cape Cod Sanctuary
153 Morning Star Cartway was a perfect peaceful getaway for my college friends and me. We had a great time and Luther was an excellent host, providing us with lots of recommendations for local activities and was very responsive.

Private Waterfront Home on Picturesque Pond
This property was stunning! As described. Brenda was extremely responsive to messages. My family appreciated the labeling she had done, it made everything very easy to find. Anything you could want this place has it, from super comfortable beds, tons of space, clean, and beautiful views! We will definitely be back!

Escape to cape/water front home
Tam is an excellent host. The lake is picturesque and peaceful. The property is nestled between mature evergreen trees. The house is newly renovated, light, white, bright. Kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are clean. Lots of cleaning supplies. Tam was an exceptional communicator and very friendly. Appreciate the time!

Waterfront 4BR Home on Cape Cod
We had a wonderful stay at Jasmine's place. Everything was perfect. Jasmine was there to communicate with at all times. I would recommend this place for others. Thank you Jasmine.
Waterfront condo rentals

Newly renovated one-bedroom condo in Town
I have been going to Nantucket for 30+ years. We always stayed in Surfside but you definitely need a car if You are that far out. We decided in town would be better since we weren’t bringing a car and this spot was perfect. We could walk to shops and restaurants so it worked out great. The house was cozy and had everything we needed for our vacation. Super clean and comfortable. The back deck setting is beautiful. Loved being close to Hatches and Cumberland Farms for ice Cream runs. Would definitely book again.

Studio steps to a private beach!
Book it!! Just do it! After staying in Air BnBs throughout the US and in many other countries I have to stay Marc was the best host! Extremely responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond for us. His place was perfect and he even had one of our favorite games, Skip Bo available! Overall, fantastic experience.

1BR 2nd Floor Condo with pool
Excellent location, clean, comfortable place to spend some time on the Cape. Perfect for my husband and I.

Steps to Private Beach in Chatham
We absolutely loved our stay at Julia’s home! It was in amazing location close to the beautiful downtown but also very private. The private beach is hard to beat! The space was clean, exactly as pictured, and was stocked with anything you could need. Julia was an amazing host who provided clear instructions and responded quickly. We can’t wait to return for our next stay here. Thanks again Julia!!

Hidden Hideaway
The location is fabulous and very close to many amenities - coffee, groceries, restaurants and the beach. While it was a small space, it was well laid out, comfortable to be in, very clean and had a respectable kitchen for its small size (which I used). Devon was very proactive and friendly when I asked him about the microwave not working - I had missed that it wasn't plugged in! The condo was very quiet at night even though it is close to a road. I will definitely return to Devon's place should I need to travel there and it is available.

LOCATION LOCATION!! Ocean- View TOP Floor Condo
Heather's place is beautiful! An amazing location with close proximity to the OB steamship authority station, a number of bus lines, and the beach! The view and location are unbeatable! Heather was also super responsive in terms of coordinating flexible check-in/check-out times which was very much appreciated. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting OB :)

Condo in Falmouth MA
Patrick’s place was absolutely perfect! We made great use of the kitchen with no problem whatsoever. We really appreciated the nearby trail to get some fresh air and enjoyed being close to a grocery store for cooking meals. Highly recommend this place if you want a quiet laidback place to rest and refit!

Summer @ Serenity By The Sea, Mashpee , MA
Our second visit. We love the place. Quiet but close to great beaches and the Popponesset Marketplace is 2 minutes walk away, with fish restaurants and small stores with necessities (including wine and beer!). A highlight of this visit was sitting on the patio in the morning and 3 times seeing an osprey dive to the pond and catch a fish.
