About this property

Oceanside - 4 Bedroom Family-Friendly Oceanfront Home

This wonderful, family friendly waterfront 4 bedroom, 1.75 bath House is located on a privately owned beach in the Sand Hills Neighborhood of Scituate MA. Completely updated in 2015, this home offers splendid, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and Minot Lighthouse. It is spacious and offering 2 queen beds in the ocean facing bedrooms, 1 double bed, and 1 Twin over Double Bunkbed.

The open living area has sweeping views of the ocean and direct access to the screened in porch and wrap around deck. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of your cookware needs and has a washer and dryer. Enjoy the enclosed outdoor shower to rinse off after a day on the beach.

Located in Sand Hills, you can easily walk to get ice cream at the Sand Hills General Store (8 minute walk) or to the Harbor (20 minute walk to Front Street) for dinner, see a movie, shopping or enjoy the galleries. Revel in the gorgeous sunsets from your private deck or cast a line to fish from the shore line.

The privately owned beach is primarily a stone studded beach with areas of sand and stone. The sand and stone mix can change daily and is accessed from eleven steps off the seawall.

A sandy public beach is a short walk (less than 10 minutes) from the house.

We do our best to maintain the furniture in the three seasons porch area; however, unpredicted weather and ocean mist can dampen the cushions/rug so we just want to be fully transparent with guests on the matter!

Perfect Beach house

We loved everything about our stay. The house was large enough to accommodate all 5 of us. We enjoyed the screen porch the most. The location for day trips was easy. The local restaurants were impressive. Matt was very quick with his replies. We all hope to be back again some day!

Wonderful Easter family vacation

Our son’s family from Ohio visited with 6 grandkids. They loved the open concept of the house with the kids and the beautiful views. The large dining room table was perfect.

Great Stay

Had an excellent week at the house. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. We really enjoyed the shops and restaurants in town and it was a great launching point for day trips both up and down the coast. Communication from Matt was great leading up to and during the stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Memorable Vacation

This beautiful house on the beach was in a great location! The amenities such as a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of linens, kayaks, and more were very appreciative. Looking at and listening to the peaceful sounds of the ocean were the most memorable. Although the beds were not comfortable at all, we definitely hope to rent this property again because the rest of the house and the beach were a truly amazing experience to have!

Wonderful Christmas with family!

The property owner was very helpful and accommodating! We were renting the home for our daughter’s family from Virginia, who were visiting us for Christmas vacation. The house was the perfect size for 2 adults and 4 teenage grandkids. The views were spectacular. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

A few thoughts

Just fine. Wonderful to be right on the ocean. A few minor points: There were no facial tissues anywhere. Buy better toilet paper. The kitchen and bathrooms could use more towel rods.

Relaxing ocean view and lots of room

We rented the house when traveling to the area for a wedding. We knew there wasn't really a beach but the large screened porch gave us wonderful views of the water. Some of our extended family joined us for lunch one day and the spacious main floor and porch gave us lots of room to spread out and enjoy catching up after not being together during COVID. Helpful info about local restaurants and other tourist questions from the host. I'm not used to VRBOs where there are open food leftovers carrying over from prior guests and a less than spotless refrigerator, so that was a little off putting at first but it didn't diminish our pleasure in the stay.

awesome place on the Scituate shore

My family and I had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving. The host was available and worked with our young family's needs (pack and play, kids' games, infant chair, baby gate...) We couldn't have asked for more....and the sound of the ocean waves at night was awesome.

Perfect for multi-gen family gatherings!

The moment our grandchildren, aged 19,15,& 9, walked into the house, they were hooked! The views and the rocky beach are beautiful and the layout of the house works well for a raucous card game or quiet time with a book - at the same time! The long dining table on the porch overlooking the beach was our fave place hang out for meals. Just a very comfy, cozy house. My only gentle suggestion would be maybe a bit more attention to housekeeping. We definitely hope to get back to 64 Oceanside Drive next year.

Stunning Ocean Views

The expansive view of the ocean is the first thing that will capture your attention at this house in Scituate. You can see and hear the ocean from almost every room in the house. We were able to watch the sunrise from our bedroom window and sunset from the front porch. The house is comfortably furnished and clean. We could walk to a small, uncrowded sandy public beach (about 1/2 mile away). Several restaurants and ice cream shops were nearby. Neighbors were quiet. The showers had good pressure and lots of hot water. There are stairs from the patio down to the water. I recommend bringing beach shoes as the waterfront is rocky rather than sandy- though this may vary with seasons and tides. Our family enjoyed the house and the opportunity to spend time together as we sat by the ocean every day.

Refreshing Seaside Cottage

This cozy place was laid out efficiently for a family gathering, with its two long dining tables (one inside and one on a screened porch) and three living areas (two inside and one on the screened porch). We were close enough to enjoy each other but with plenty of space to have time alone. There are options for outdoor relaxing areas on the wraparound deck and down on the seawall. Sounds of the ocean drive away other demands for a truly enjoyable respite. Plenty of restaurants and a quaint downtown offer everything a family needs within 2 miles.

Stayed for a wedding

The house was exactly as it says. We needed a house for my extended family to stay for my sons wedding. The bedrooms had plenty of space and having the pullout couch, futon and bathroom on the first floor was perfect for our needs. The owner, Matt, was fantastic and treats you like family. A 10 out of 10 stay.

Destination Wedding Trip

The sound of the ocean was so relaxing and tranquil, not to mention the ocean view from 2 of the bedrooms. The house was spacious, supplied with everything we needed and the location was perfect. The folder with instructions and local suggestions was very helpful. My only recommendation would be to do just a bit more of a thorough cleaning; I cleaned your refrigerator and also the kitchen trash barrel. :) But overall - we had a fantastic time and your property and great. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Family Getaway

Being right on the beach, and having the sites and sounds that we had, was worth every penny! Our trip was delayed a year (dang covid), but Matt was very understanding and easy to work with to make this change. The house had more than enough room for the 10 of us (plus an infant). The kids loved playing in the water and it made for a nice relaxing place to come back to after venturing out for the day. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Perfect get away

This beach house was incredible. The pictures did not do it justice! The panoramic views of the ocean were priceless- we enjoyed the beach even when it was raining. The house was planted in a beautiful neighborhood very close to Scituate’s best restaurants. The kayaks and paddle board were a great addition to the trip. The host was super helpful and very quick to answer questions.
