About this property

Charming Waterfront Home with Commanding Views of Pleasant Bay

This 6-bedroom 3.5-bathroom home is the perfect setting for two families or multi-generation families vacationing together, as it has two master bedrooms—each with a private bath—located on opposite ends of the home. Additionally, 4 bedrooms are located on the second floor: 1 bedroom with a full bed and a single bed; one bedroom with three single beds, and two smaller bedrooms, each with a single bed. Besides the two master bathrooms, there is a half bath on the first floor and a bathroom with a tub on the second floor. All bedrooms in the house have front and center views of Pleasant Bay and beyond to the Atlantic.

The kitchen is well equipped with a new dishwasher and plenty of glassware. The adjoining dining room can easily seat dinner for 10. The spacious patio is accessed through the dining room for al fresco dining and taking in the view. The laundry room is just off the kitchen, and the parking lot can accommodate any number of cars. The outdoor shower is one of life’s simple luxuries. Ours is especially amazing, as you can shower away the day's sand and salt spray in relative privacy with a view of the Bay. Wow!

The living room is expansive, with plenty of seating for family game night. Guests at one end of the living room can engage in conversation over the breathtaking view, while others on the opposite side of the room can play a board game or work on a puzzle.

One friendly word of caution to our taller guests—like many historic cottages, the ceilings are noticeably low in the kitchen, dining room, and living room (6 ft 4 with a 6 ft 2 center beam). The bedrooms, however, have vaulted ceilings, and of course, the patio has unlimited sky.

The patio is the heart and soul of the property. With plenty of seating, a Weber grill, and a constantly changing seascape, the patio will call your name to sit in a comfortable chair, dine under the open sky, and become mesmerized by the beauty of the Bay.

South Cottage is located on a shady bluff at the edge of 3.6-acres belonging to Pleasant Bay Community Boating (PBCB). The waterfront is directly in front of the house, and the deck has commanding views of the Bay and its various sailing activities. Enjoy your morning coffee and your evening meals on the rustic decks overlooking the Bay. Spend your day beach combing, exploring the Cape or sailing with PBCB.

*Summer guests (June 15-Sept 6) can enjoy a Simply Sail experience with one of our instructors at no charge (weather permitting)! Please reserve Simply Sail in advance through our website.
*Off-season guests (Fall, Winter, Spring) will find that South Cottage is the perfect location to take in the changing seasons. Plus, it is a centrally located launch pad for exploring the Cape.

On this 3.6-acre property, we have a sister cottage, named Square Top, which can be viewed at vrbo.com # 781357. (South Cottage is 724608).
Many prospective guests ask about the differences between the two cottages—
*View and location: South Cottage sits high on a bluff and is located further away from the road, whereas Square Top sits very close to the water but is also closer to the road.
*Building: South Cottage is a rambling long cottage with vaulted ceilings in all the bedrooms, but noticeably low ceilings in the dining room, kitchen and living room. Square Top is an airy cottage with higher ceilings in the living room, but lower ceilings in the bedrooms.
*Both houses have central AC, heat and wifi. The fireplaces are decorative only, and cannot be used for fires--thanks!

Beautiful little cottage on the bay
We enjoyed our stay at the sailing community because it had great views, an authentic Cape vibe, a good location, and the opportunity to sail. It is a lovely cottage that sleeps a ton of people. The ceiling height is low if you're over 6 feet!

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Fuller

Host profile image
In December 2014, Pleasant Bay Community Boating (PBCB) realized its dream of obtaining a permanent location on Pleasant Bay Community Boating owns two of the waterfront houses—Square Top and South Cottage-- that are available for rent to vacationers. Come stay in one of these charming Cape Cod cottages and enjoy all PBCB has to offer. PBCB is a 501(c) 3 charitable organization that was founded in 2003 by various Cape Cod boating enthusiasts who recognized the need of local families and visitors to have accessible sailing and boating opportunities in the local pristine waterways of Pleasant Bay and its tributaries. Using Flying Scots, Catboats, Sunfish and kayaks, PBCB offers lessons to students, ages 8 to 85. In addition, PBCB supplies free lessons to students in local need-based community programs and Special Olympics programs. PBCB previously operated without a permanent structure from a beach in Chatham, which was threatened by erosion and other issues. Our new permanent home is truly a dream come true. Included in your stay at PBCB, is one free sailing experience. There are two options to choose from. 1) Enjoy a two-hour afternoon or evening sailing excursion. No pressure, just enjoy the ride with one of our instructors and participate as much or as little as you like. This is a great option for those looking to practice their sailing skills, but also those looking for a relaxing boat ride. 2) For the more experienced sailors, we offer a skills assessment test. Upon passing the assessment you will be able to purchase a Pleasant Bay Pass and rent boats during our normal rental hours. Tests are on weekdays, by appointment. If you arrive on a weekend and would like to sail on Sunday, sunfish are available. We strongly recommend you book your sailing experience in advance of your stay. Weather depending, Kayaks can be taken out free of charge: 830am to 330pm, Monday to Friday. 100pm and 330pm Saturday and Sundays

Why they chose this property

South Cottage offers the quintessential Cape Cod experience. This home provides the perfect family cottage setting for making memories-- learn to sail, kayak the protected waters of Pleasant Bay and enjoy quiet moments gazing over a constantly changing canvas. Pleasant Bay is the jewel of Cape Cod--enjoy its beauty from the best vantage point on the bay. Many people are comforted to know that every cent of our rental earnings goes to paying the mortgage and cottage upkeep. A bevy of PBCB volunteers prepare the cottages for renting, and make sure that vacationers can have the best experience possible. Together, we are committed to providing boating experiences to visiting families.

What makes this property unique

Unfurl your sails and learn to sail with PBCB! Your summer vacation week includes a "Simply Sail" experience for your group with a certified instructor. Please sign up for boating experiences in advance with our sailing coordinator. Don't delay, as lessons tend to fill up fast.
