About this property

Family Beach House in Onset - walk to beaches

Relax with the whole family at this spacious, updated cottage steps to a private association beach in Onset “the gateway to Cape Cod”. Enjoy your morning coffee from the sunroom with views of the bay. The spacious living room has a large TV for movie nights and seating for 6. The kitchen/dining area has a large table and the kitchen is fully equipped including pots, pans, cutlery, and dinnerware.

There are two full bathrooms with showers (no tubs), one of which is en suite to a queen bedroom. All bedrooms have bedding, linens, new mattresses, and either dressers or benches to store your belongings. There are window AC units in each bedroom (summer only).

This is indoor and outdoor living at its best with WiFi and Smart TV, deck, patio, fire pit, hammock, and gas grill. Plenty of room for yard games (corn hole and ladder toss available). Walk to the Nanumett private beach 4 houses away, or venture into Onset Village for the main beach, restaurants, and ice cream shops.

We’ve stocked up the house with some of our favorite board games for those rainy days.

We supply beach towels, beach chairs and a beach wagon buggy for guests' use.

Nearby kayak rental, bridge to Cape Cod, public golf course, water park, deep sea fishing, whale watching, canal cruises, and ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

For visits during the fall and winter, enjoy the local antique scene, New England fall activities like apple picking, or day trips to Plymouth, Boston or New Bedford.

No parties, gatherings, or pets. Indoor fireplace is decorative only.

The perfect weekend getaway

We were a group of 6 adults (3 couples) who stayed for a weekend in Sept 2023. This house is everything as advertised, if not more! Nicole was extremely communicative and friendly. We booked the house the weekend of Hurricane Lee, so didn’t get to experience the super cute outdoor setup. However, everything inside was more than enough to entertain us. We immediately felt right at home. The beds, couches, etc.. were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was one of the best stocked houses I’ve ever stayed in. The neighborhood is beyond adorable and relaxing. We did take a quick stroll down to the bay/beach the morning we left. It was very convenient and I imagine we would have taken advantage of it even more if the weather was better. All in all, a fantastic stay. We hope to stay here again in the future! Book it. You won’t regret it!!

Wonderful Thanksgiving week

Lovely and spacious home just a few houses away from Buzzards Bay. Our visit was during November to be closer to family in the area, but we were quite cozy even during a few days with gale force winds! Even preparing our Thanksgiving meal was possible as we were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen furnishings and only needed to supply a foil roasting pan for the turkey (which we expected so this was not a letdown.) The yard is spacious, and the location would be a great spot for summer getaways. We enjoyed walking in the area, and the others we met during walks were all engaging and friendly. Some longtime visitors even shared a few oysters and clams!

beautiful home

My elderly mother and I needed a getaway weekend and we loved this beautiful home. It was impecably clean and had everything we could have wanted. Since the weather was cold and rainy, we spent most of our time in the home. We could not have been more comfortable. There was space to work jig saw puzzles and play games. The mattresses were extremely comfortable and I loved the shower off one of the bathrooms! The host responded quickly to our questions and was very accommodating. We will definitely visit again the next time we need a get away!

Comfortable, attractive house for vacation

We had a lovely week here - enjoying the private beach down the street; day trips to Buzzards Bay, Falmouth, and Bourne; and lazy mornings at home. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. Would highly recommend to families looking for a nice home-base for a bay vacation.

Quiet and friendly neighborhood

We found ourselves staying here, just down the road from our home, for an extended length of time due to some unforeseen circumstances. The property had all the amenities needed, the owners responsive yet not the least bit intrusive. And the neighborhood is very quiet. Don’t hesitate to book this property

Perfect house for us!

My daughters loved our stay! The location was close to everything. The house was very clean and updated. The master shower was favorite of us all! The property is well stocked so we didn't have to go buy anything like detergents for our short stay, which I appreciated. Communication was great also and very warm. We will be back!

Awesome spot in Onset!

Our family had a wonderful 4 night stay at Pleasantville… we visited the quaint beach (just steps away from the home!), had plenty of great dinning options in Onset, the house was clean, well appointed and the owners were great to work with. We’ll be back!

Great beach house

Very pleasant beach house in a good location. Steps to small private beach and 5mins to the larger Onset beach. Good location for exploring the Cape (1hr to Chatham) and other places on the MA shore (e.g., Plymouth). Nicole was very responsive to a few questions by text. Highly recommended.

Amazingly pleasant stay in Pleasantville!

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house and more gracious & professional hosts. Super clean, amazing layout, and all the conveniences and amenities anyone could need. Steps from the beach too. Another surprise was how friendly and welcoming the neighborhood was also. A smile and wave from all the neighbors. Shout out to TJ (didn’t get the last name) and his family specifically for such a warm welcome. The nicest family and even invited us on a boat tour! Nicole our host was so communicative throughout the rental process and throughout our stay. Her recommendations were also a big hit (Especially the cafe!). And I can’t overstate how perfect of a house layout this was, with multiple areas to hangout and enough space for our group of 6. Kudos on the Cape decor as well! We were so thankful for the experience and definitely would stay again if welcomed back! Would give it all the praise and 100 stars!

Perfect getaway

We had a great stay at pleasantville. The property was beachy and very clean. Perfect for our family of 6. We had an awesome time using the large yard playing games and had a fire pit one night. The beach was beautiful and quiet- Just a few steps from the house. The property owner was quick with responding to questions and super accommodating. We will definitely rent again!

My husband and I live in Boston and are both working professionals.

Why they chose this property

We always had dreams of owning our own beach house, and are excited to share Pleasantville with families or friends looking to enjoy the beach. The house is named "Pleasantville" due to it's location on Pleasant Harbor.

What makes this property unique

We really love the proximity to the beach, views of the water from the home, and the family neighborhood. Added benefit of no Cape Cod bridge traffic!
