Recreation

The Ocean View House is a very short walk to the public beach, with outstanding views of the ocean from the home's deck. If a 1.5-mile hike of medium difficulty to a local kettle pond is for you, then explore the nearby paths to Duck Pond. Explore beyond the beach and you will find the seashore is so much more. There are miles of walking and biking trails through pine forests, across sandy dunes, and alongside freshwater ponds. You can climb to the top of one of the many lighthouses and experience a piece of maritime history that helped our new nation grow and thrive. For the wildlife lover, there are opportunities to spot over 450 species of amphibians, reptiles, fish, birds, and mammals that make the seashore their home.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ocean View House and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. From the moment we arrived, the property felt welcoming, peaceful, and thoughtfully cared for. The ocean views were a highlight of our visit, creating a calm and memorable setting whether we were starting the morning with coffee, unwinding after a day out, or simply enjoying the fresh ocean air.

No A/C making for very uncomfortable nights/days if it’s humid. So humid that the basement floor was wet with condensation- we did not consider this an acceptable second sleeping place. Neighbors are very loud at night and love karaoke. Basically, we didn’t sleep well. Fantastic views. Walk to the beach has very steep ladder-like steps. Fully stocked kitchen. Whole house can use a deep clean (cob webs, dust).

Great location with beautiful wide ocean views. Kitchen is very well stocked with anything you could need. Plenty of blankets, etc. for chilly nights. Very clean on arrival (from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom, to living room). House was very comfortable. House could use a good reading lamp. Contacts were very responsive to email question. WIFI worked; no phone reception. Overall it was very good experience. On the downside a house next door became a major party location for 4 nights of my stay with loud noise, voices, music (all outdoors) well past 3:30AM--every night. Made it impossible to sleep through the night. Very inconsiderate neighbors.

We had a terrific stay at Ocean View House. The location is spectacular, with the wide deck overlooking the sea. The house is classic Cape Cod; extremely well equipped, comfortable, and immaculate. Note that this is a one-bedroom home, with one small bathroom off the living room. The second bed is in the basement, and it's not cozy -- just a big open space, with a full bed, and no bathroom down there. But the layout worked fine for us for five nights. And having wifi is a plus (we were at Bay View House the previous year and it did not have wifi then). It's a long hike down to the beach (97 steps) but the stairs are just across the street from the house -- and the beach there is fabulous. Don't miss hiking the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail nearby. Lots of good biking along Ocean View Drive to all the ocean beaches.

I set my alarm every morning to wake up and see the sunrise. Well worth it every time.
