About this property

Serendipity…

You may not have expected to find this quintessential, designer styled luxury, waterfront cottage…what a delightful and unexpected surprise. It’s Serendipity!

Our warm and inviting cottage sits comfortably nestled amongst the pines and directly overlooks Schoolhouse Pond, a wonderful freshwater pond where you can enjoy fishing and many popular, non-motorized water activities.

The two bedroom cottage interior boasts an easy living, open concept kitchen/living/sunroom area with dining, along with king and queen bedrooms. Recently renovated, the house has hardwood floors, freshly re-finished walls, stainless steel appliances, newly renovated and equipped kitchen, and beautiful furnishings throughout. The bathroom refurbishment includes a new tile and glass shower, all new fixtures, flooring, cabinetry and lighting. Our home is impeccably clean and sanitized….. and ready for you!

Luxury bed linens, plush towels, and beach equipment are provided for your special stay.

Enjoy relaxed outdoor living in the newly renovated sunroom which has a beautiful vaulted ceiling, new windows/doors and gorgeous new floor. Leave the sunroom though the sliders or double French doors, and enjoy some time on the deck or our new blue stone patio overlooking the water. There’s plenty of privacy and outdoor living space with comfortable, casual seating, new Weber gas grill, hot/cold water outdoor shower and fabulous views of the pond.

There’s private parking for two vehicles and room to store bicycles you bring or rent to ride on the Cape Cod Rail Trail or to the beach!
A new guest laundry room is also available!

Fish, kayak, canoe or swim in the freshwater pond from our private shore area. Enjoy our complimentary canoe with select size lifejackets. The National Seashore, Salt Pond Visitor's Center, Coast Guard and Nauset Light Beaches, and biking/hiking trails are just moments away. The Visitor's Center at nearby Salt Pond is the entrance to the National Seashore. From Salt Pond you can canoe or kayak to the outer ocean. The National Seashore area is also filled with biking and hiking trails, and is home to some of Cape Cod's best beaches to include Coast Guard Beach which is about 2 miles away.

Our cottage is centrally located between Provincetown and Hyannis where you can join fishing, sailing and whale watching charters, and enjoy great shopping and restaurants. The winery in Truro, the antique shops and galleries in Wellfleet, and the many shops and restaurants of Orleans and Eastham are just a some of the other nearby attractions.

Cozy, scenic, comfortable, modern cottage on lovely pond

I just love this cozy cottage on a scenic pond In a quiet part of the Cape. The owners have skillfully and tastefully renovated it to be comfortable and attractive. We stayed after the summer crowds had left the Cape and during the transition of seasons. One day was humid summer, the next warm rain, the next a beach day, and the next a glimpse of autumn breeze with spring temps. We travel frequently throughout the world, but will remember this location as one of our favorites.

Lovely spot for a Cape Cod getaway

Perfect spot to enjoy all the Cape has to offer! Minutes to the bike path, walks, National sea shore beaches, and bay beaches. Short drive to P-town or Chatham. House was beautifully appointed with wonderful touches. Enjoyed the pond view from the deck with my morning coffee. Super comfortable for the three of us! Donna was extremely responsive! Look forward to returning to this perfect spot to explore more!

Cozy and comfortable

We stayed four nights and had a terrific time. Everything was as advertised. Best for two adults. We had my sister and brother in law for two of the nights and was fine but if staying a week would want to have a dishwasher for cooking in. Everything else was great!

Pond-front gem!

We stayed at Serendipity for 2 nights / 3 days and were absolutely delighted. The cottage is the perfect size for 2-4 people (we stayed with our 15 yo daughter) and is unique in how thoroughly it has been updated and lovingly designed. There's a real attention to detail that comes through in all of the decorations, and we appreciated the high-end bedding and towels. In addition, the pond with canoe and deck are a real treat. Although you are just off rte 6, there's a wide variety of bird life on the pond and we were treated to read tail hawk and osprey having their breakfast as we drank our morning coffee. Location is great as well, as Nauset Lighthouse beach and Coast Guard beach are only 2-3 miles away (get there early) and Provincetown only 30 mins if you want to venture further afield to Race Point. We did not explore the Eastham town beaches but there are several. We are so happy to have found this gem and will be back!

Why they chose this property

Serendipity
(defined as an unplanned fortunate discovery)

One early spring day nearly 16 years ago we had decided to take a daytrip to Provincetown, Cape Cod. Along our way to “Ptown”, we chose to make a stop at the National Seashore Visitor’s Center that we had heard about from a friend’s recent trip to the Cape. Unsure of exactly where the Visitor’s Center was located, we were riding down Route 6 and chatting away when my sister said, “oh, there it is”.

Rather than slamming on the brakes, I looked to the next place I could turn around. We pulled off Route 6 and travelled down a little side road where, at the top, stood a sign ~ “Bayberry Hill Cottages”. The very first thing I saw, absolutely took my breath away…..a quaint little cottage sitting on a sparkling pond, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. This sweet place, with a weathered exterior, some unkept landscaping and a ramshackle porch seemed to speak to me. I said to my sister, “this place is fantastic, and with some love and care, this frog could become a Prince.

We parked the car to have a closer look and, to our surprise, behind some overgrown bushes, was a for sale sign….Serendipity!
