Beach Island Getaway, 10 minutes from the Bourne Bridge
Steps to sandy beaches in laid-back beach island community
Embedded Files
Less than 10 minutes on side roads from the Bourne Bridge, enter Mashnee Island, see the water and beaches surround you, and you can't help but smile and relax. This cute renovated house with A/C sleeps 6 and is ready for your beach vacation with super close beach access and deck living. Two long sandy beaches within a couple minutes walk, no beach pass required, and offers good birding and fishing opportunities, plus the fun of watching boat traffic along the approach to the canal. Super stars on clear nights. Three bedroom and two and a half baths (plus outdoor shower), eat-in kitchen, family room, and two decks give you both room to be together and room to spread out. Look at the map below and you’ll immediately understand the unique environment of an easy-to-reach beach island in famous Buzzards Bay on the Cape’s West Coast, yet less than 15 minutes to restaurants, markets, ice cream, lobster, delis, pharmacy, gift shops, Dunkin' Donuts, pizza delivery, mini-golf, fishing boat charters, scenic bike paths and public golf courses... so much you can do.
But.... we think you’ll likely just want to hang out at the beach and the house and walk the lazy beachy neighborhood.

Reviews:
June 2026
There is a fantastic master bedroom suite that is separate from the main area of the home. It is perfect for grandparents who may need a quiet space to rest after playing on the beach with the grandkids. There is a large room with comfortable couch that was perfect for watching the World Cup Soccer matches. The kitchen is well stocked, and we found everything we needed to cook for our two families. The neighborhood is quiet, friendly and has a free library swap. The home has two decks, perfect for dining in the evening when the sea breezes pick up. The owners are very accommodating and do everything to make your stay a success.
June 2025 -- 'Everything was wonderful'
I wanted to thank you both for your hospitality yet again. We made some really wonderful memories with family this week and had so much fun at the house. Everything was wonderful, the location and set up of the house is just perfect for our family.
July 2023 -- 'Lovely House'
This lovely house far exceeded our expectations. Super spacious, well appointed with everything you might need. Hosts are most gracious and excellent communicators. Can't recommend enough!
July 2023 -- 'Great Spot'
We had a great time in Mashnee Island! The house was a short walk to the beach. Plenty of room for our family with great accommodations. definitely recommend this house for your vacation at the Cape!
July 2023 -- 'Beautiful Place'
This a lovely home in a picturesque friendly area. The home was very clean and comfortable. We look forward to coming back soon. The hosts were very helpful with local tips and recommendations.
July 2022 -- 'Spacious, comfortable with short walk to lovely beach in quiet neighborhood. We loved our stay!'
We were pleasantly surprised to find a gem of a place that surpassed all my family's needs; highlights included short walk for sunsets on the beach, outdoor shower, Cape Canal Bike Path, lovely beach, nearby markets and restaurants. The house itself had everything from each bedroom's own a/c unit as well as ceiling fan to large, private yard with two separate decks and large propane grill. The hosts are helpful and thoughtful.
July 2022 -- 'Fantastic Stay'
We have stayed at quite a few rental houses but I can honestly say this was one of the cleanest, most well equipped and comfortable ones we have ever stayed at. The size of house is misleading from the outside but when you go in it's there’s two different suite areas to sleep in. This was perfect as my parents slept on one side of the house and my brother and myself slept on the other side. For me the pièce de résistance was the den. It’s a very big, spacious and bright room. The house is also in a charming area with it being walking distance to private beach. Plus just a short car ride to many of the wonderful towns in cape may. I would sincerely recommend staying here for as long as you can book.
