Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Full of beautiful sunlight, easy comfort, and classic Americana, this two-story Mashpee condo will treat you to a quintessential summer on Cape Cod. This is a place to ride your bikes to the beach or enjoy the community swimming pool, spend your days swimming and sunbathing, and gather on the shaded patio for sunset barbecues in the evenings. This condo sits near the ocean shore on the south side of Mashpee, in a location that's particularly great for beach-goers. Mashpee Town Beach, South Cape Beach State Park, and Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge are all within two miles. The Cape Cod Children's Museum (three miles) and the many shopping and dining opportunities of Mashpee Commons (five miles) are close by as well. Stepping inside, you'll be greeted by a bright living space with nautical- and beach-themed decor and a charming palette of reds, whites, and blues throughout. Make yourself at home beneath two-story ceilings in the living room, relaxing on a pair of sofas and watching your favorite movies on the cable TV. Prepare hearty meals using stainless steel kitchen appliances (including a gas stove and a French-door fridge), butcher-block countertops, and a gas grill outside on the patio. There's even an outdoor dining set and a swinging hammock chair, so you can linger comfortably in the fragrant sea breeze. When it's time to turn in, leave the day's swimsuits in the care of the washer/dryer, check tomorrow's surf report using the complimentary WiFi, and retire to two bedrooms - each paired with a full bathroom.

The kitchen had much of what you would want to cook meals including a Keurig coffee so bring K-cups. And there is a DVD player available so bring a couple of movies.

Jun 27, 2025 #### Dog hair everywhere Condo was decorated nicely. But it felt grimy. There was so much dog hair on all the living room furniture. The bedspread on the lower bunk bed had what looked to be smeared snot on it and the pillow. My child did not want to lay on it so I looked for extra blankets and the ones in the closet smelled like they hadn’t been washed in some time. There was a dirty spoon in the media cabinet in the bedroom. The condo had a very musty, mildew smell and I was happy we only stayed for two nights. ##### Davette D. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### pamela g. Jun 16, 2024 #### Cape Cod Cutie The condo was absolutely adorable! I was VERY comfortable there and the place had everything uou could need! There were PLENTY of towels , comfortable beds....sleeps 7 I think, there were 3 of us. The patio was do serene and pleasant to have coffee, read or glass of wine. There is even a little fireplace that did the trick! The place was perfect! We did have a problem navigating to it initially. Our directions kept sending us to the end of the complex. The directions needed to include the house number and not the complex number. Other than that I could have moved right in and been very happy for the rest of my life!! ##### pamela g.
