Excellent stay

We had a wonderful stay. The house was spotless and the check-in was easy and seamless. We appreciated the gift basket on arrival which contained sweets and goodies for making Smores. The house was roomy enough for our 3 families, with plenty of parking for everyone. Having stayed elsewhere in Buzzard's Bay, we did find the beach a bit marshier and rockier than where we had stayed previously. Edson was the perfect host, easy to reach, and the house was well located. Thank you!

Lovely home with lots of room

Had a lovely week away with family and friends. Home was large enough to give everyone their own space but still cozy enough to share meals and games. Home is handicap accessible to a point in that there is a chair lift if stairs are the only obstacle. Neighborhood was quiet with a small nature preserve down the street to walk and get some exercise . Convenience of cranberry Highway just down the road for anything you may need and the cute small town of Onset just a quick drive across the street was perfect. . Private beach was small and a little murky but nice enough to wade in and take kayaks out. Kitchen was very well equipped to the point of almost too much stuff . Edson went out of his way to be welcoming!

Wonderful house and beach

This property was fantastic. House was immaculate and unusually well stocked. Outdoor amenities/boats are over the top. We caught striped bass off the beach and dug quahogs/muscles off the shore. Beach is unusually sandy for Buzzard Bay. This is the best rental I've found in years.

We loved the location on the bay despite several days of rain. It was peaceful and very pretty watching the tide come in and out. We all swam and enjoyed the kayak's, canoe and board's a great deal. The house had everything you could need to make any kind of meal which was great. There were plenty of games and plenty of sitting spaces outside which was lovely and allowed us to each enjoy friends and conversation. Edison was a very gracious host and a genuinely lovely person.

Awesome Family Vacation Home

We had a wonderful time at Bay View. The house was perfect for our family of 14 (8 adults & 6 kids). We loved spending time at the beach and Edson has it set up for fun with the kayaks, canoe, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for the kids. Plenty of life vest too. We spent the evenings on the deck or the lower patio. And at night we played games at the massive dining table. The views of the sunrise were beautiful and the moon shining off the bay at night was breathtaking. The house is equipped with everything you need. We have stayed in many VRBO vacation homes and cooking meals is always a challenge with the quality and amount of cookware and utensils. Edson has gone above and beyond with a fully stocked and functional kitchen. Edson was an awesome host. We would 100% recommend Bay View.

Perfect for large groups

Bay view is a great house with lots of room, comfortable beds, sufficient bathrooms with good water pressure and a play/family room that was perfect for all the children of various ages. There certainly were all the necessary amenities and then some, and the watercraft were appreciated by all. Beach with calm, clean water is just a few steps away. Edson, our host, was friendly, accommodating and greeted us on arrival to explain all the home’s features. The location is good, avoids the bridges’ traffic jams but all the mid Cape activities aren’t far away by car if one misses peak traffic times. We would certainly rent this house again.

Terrific Place for Group Weekend Trip

Ten men (all around 30) spent the weekend at this beautiful property to celebrate the upcoming wedding of one of our friends. Yiota was incredibly helpful throughout the booking process and answered all of our questions in the lead-up to our stay. The place was better than advertised -- lots of space and beds for a big group, bay views everywhere, a fire pit in the back that made sitting outside at night in early April a lot of fun, and a really great game room where we spent a lot of time. We made extensive use of the kitchen, which was well stocked. I strongly recommend this property.

Bayview

We had a family vacation that had 16 people. Everything worked out fine. The inside of the property accommodated our large family and the various decks were awesome. The outside railings were gritty (might be from the salt water & trees). There was a pumping station with an overflow pipe that took away from the view. Edson was a wonderful host and i would recommend this property to future guests

Wonderful home and hospitality

What a fantastic little vacation! The property is at the end of a secluded drive, with private access to a small beach and boat launch. The kayaks and such were all in great condition, and we had a fantastic time fishing and paddling around on Buttermilk Bay. Gorgeous views from out on the deck, with very comfortably furnished accommodations, a fully equipped kitchen, and great TV/entertainment set-up. We also had the chance to spend a little time with the owner, Edson. He's incredibly gracious and generous, and just a delight to spend time with. He was immediately responsive when we had questions, and resolved one minor issue promptly. Couldn't hope for better. We will definitely be back -- this listing is a jewel! Thanks for a great vacation, Edson!!

About the host

Hosted by Edson Rafferty

Host profile image
The photo above is a picture of — “Bay View’s…” Owner — taken when I was a Member of the “Voluntary Crew” of the HMS Endeavor-II — the replica of Captain Cooks Ship he used inThe late-1600’s to the early-1700’s, to discover and explore the “Hawaiian Islands,” and the islands of the South Pacific.

What a fabulous experience that was !!!

My ancestors immigrated to the Americas from Ireland, England, and Scandinavia. .

On my Mother’s side of our family, they came here on the Mayflower (1619), and in1632, when Sea CaptainSamual Knowles decided to settle here.

On my Father side, my 1st Rafferty Ancestor came during the War of 1812, after being “Shanghaied” into the British Navy.

A British Man of War sailed into Donegal & Sligo Harbor, in Ireland, lined up all the able-bodied men -- including my Rafferty Ancestor -– and gave them a choice -- They could "VOLUNTARILY JOIN THE BRITISH NAVY -- OR BE HANGED!!!” Amazingly, they all decided to "join the Navy and see the World.”

When his Ship came off the Coast of Massachusetts, my Rafferty Ancestor slipped overboard one night while "on watch", swam to shore, and became a very early "Undocumented Immigrant of the great “US of A.”
.
My family always lived close to the Sea on the "Jersey Shore." We always joked that the Sea runs through our arteries and veins.

I fell in love with the area – its people -- and with all its amazing historic sites and places and it fabulous coastline and beaches.

There is something special about the Atlantic Ocean and Coast -- ands its weather — and living near the Sea -- It's beautiful sunny days and its wild Nor-Easters and Hurricanes -- have all been elements for my family in making us feel at home here, in touch with nature & connected to our ancestors. For all these reasons, and many more, we have always planned to have a house by the Sea. "Bay View..." is now our little piece of "heaven on earth" for me & my Family !!

Why they chose this property

We love this Home we call “Bay View at Cape Cod on the ” and when it became available to buy in 2018, it was a “No Brainer” on what to do. We snatched it right up and bought it.

We chose this location because of the spectacular morning sunrises and the gorgeous panoramic views of Buttermilk Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. The waters here on Buttermilk Bay are very calm, even though Buttermilk, at the head of Buzzards Bay, are just one step away from the wide open Atlantic Ocean.

Because of its location, it is amazingly well-protected from the rough Atlantic Ocean Storms.

The gentle waters of Buttermilk Bay make it very safe for young children, and with fabulous, panoramic views from our home, we feel very comfortable when our children and grandchildren enter the water without us!

For 40 years, we have been bringing our children to the beaches of Cape Cod. We knew that we wanted to spend our summers here, swimming, fishing, tubing, boating, sailing, Kayaking and everything that the Cape has to offer for families and kids.

We decided to invest in our own Beach house so we can enjoy being at the beach anytime, and it is our great pleasure and joy to be able to share that experience with out wonderful guests.

Occasionally, our guests will honor us by deciding to have one of their important family or business events -- such as a family wedding or Anniversary -- or an 85th Birthday -- in our beautiful, beachfront home.*

*For such events, because of the large amount of additional preparation time and cleanup time, we sometimes find it necessary to charge a separate "Event Fee."


What makes this property unique

Our home is very comfortable and spacious and we enjoy large family gatherings and entertaining friends and extended family here.

Our kids and Grandkids stage sand castle competitions at our beach with the winner getting all the ice cream they can eat! We enjoy fishing, tubing, boating, windsurfing, paddle boarding and kayaking “in our back yard” as well as digging up clams, cohoggs, mussels, and oysters !!!

Let me tell you something -- No Clam 'Chowda', (as they like to say in New
England), ever tastes better when it is HOMEMADE from the fresh shellfish — and occasionally a lobster — you just spent time digging up or catching !!!

At night, we build a fire, in our Fire Pit in our back yard, and “make s’mores, and roast Hot Dogs on sticks,” and tell big "Clam and Fish Stories," while we gaze into the starlit sky to find Orion and Big Dipper.

I have the biggest FISH STORY OF ALL -- Three years ago, I had the pleasure -- and Honor -- of witnessing a baby and mother Whale swim right into our part of Buzzards Bay -- the Mother Whale watching her Baby, while her baby frolicked around right off our beach.

WHAT AN AMAZING EVENT THAT WAS !!!

It is very quiet and peaceful at our beach house but it's only a stones throw away from the Cape Cod Canal and the Bourne Bridge, making it very convenient to endless destinations and activities for the whole family.

As I said before, It's our own little piece of Heaven., and WE LOVE AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT !!! :)
