On the front deck you will find seating for your whole group with a fire pit to keep you warm at night. About 500 feet from the front of the house, at the end of the street, you will find a small private beach for you to use. Bring a beach chair for a day in the sun, or enjoy an amazing sunset over Waquiot Bay at night.

Great place to stay! House was perfect for five guests. Love the fire pit on the porch. Great outdoor area. Great shower pressure! Great communication with the host. Only issue was the lack of parking but luckily we were able to find a place down the road and negotiate parking with them.

I just had the best vacation with my family at the Islander in Mashpee, MA. My host was very helpful and attentive. I had never been to this part of Mashpee before and it was beautiful. I was able to visit old favorites on the Cape and find new favorite places. I highly recommend this cottage. It was very comfortable and the host was amazing.

Delightful! The island is quiet but not completely isolated in winter, making for a tranquil stay. This lovely cottage is in pristine condition, with carefully chosen amenities and appliances, and decorated thoughtfully. Matt (host) was quickly responsive and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. We highly recommend!

Communication with Matt from the booking to the arrival and check-in process was excellent. My wife and I had been to the Cape in the past and wanted to share the "experience" with friends who had never been. The home was exceptional clean and cozy and proved to be an great place as our base camp after exploring all day. Would stay there again!!!! AAA

A lovely and comfortable home from which to explore Mashpee and the Cape. The porch fire table is such a bonus at night. We really enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch in the morning and listening to the orchestra of bird life. The neighborhood is quiet and very pretty. Very comfortable beds and furniture. Well stocked kitchen. Owner is very attentive and responsive.

Island Getaway

My four friends and I were very lucky we stumbled upon the Islander. Nestled away from the crowds, the location provided us with access to the bay just steps down the road and the nature of Monomoscoy Island. Really lovely, peaceful morning walks, followed by the great opportunity to explore the Cape. We spent a day in Provincetown, had a great visit to the national seashore, and went into different towns. We had a few questions and the hosts were immediately responsive and helpful. A couple things in the house could use a refresh/refill, but we went out to eat most nights so didn’t use the kitchen very much. A great visit and taste of East Coast Summer thanks to the Islander!

I was travelling with my 3 sisters from Canada heading towards Martha's Vineyard for a sister's reunion. We all appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail. The space was well appointed. The fridge ice maker did not work well so having some ice cube trays would have been helpful. I highly recommend The Islander.
