Beaches
A short drive from the villa takes you to this magical and often secluded spot! Drive into the park with ample parking and start off with a hike through nature that gives you glimpses of the ocean and estuaries on your right. There’s a gorgeous overlook with the sweetest little picnic table, perfect for lunch just about 5 minutes walk in. Continue on your walk and descend down the hill towards the beach and feel the same between your toes! For all bird lovers and photographers out there, Ellisville State Harbor Park is great for both!

Just 11 minutes walk from the villa is Black Ground Cove. This historic cliff-side beach is only accessible by foot so generally very secluded and free of crowds. During the right season, bring your binoculars and you can spot seals and even whales spouting if you are lucky! Walking directions to Black Ground Cove will be available in the on site House Manual.

Scusset Beach is our favorite beach for families. It feels like miles of flat soft sand and clear calm waters, as it is bay side. The reservation is equipped with bathrooms, shower stalls and a food kiosk for snacks, lunch and ice cream. You’ll see lots of families spend the day there and there is plenty of accessible parking. But keep in mind any beach in the Cape area which offers parking will be busy!

Food scene
One of our favorite seafood joints 15 minutes drive away from the villa over Sagamore Bridge. We absolutely think this place has the freshest and best sushi in the area! Other dishes we love are the papardelle, whole steamed Jonah crab, lobster Mac n cheese and crab cakes! The expansive menu here literally has something for everyone. Great for takeout or for a meal in, but be sure to book in advance as it’s a favorite amongst locals and travelers alike!

About 25 minutes drive away is this gem of a vibey al fresco oyster joint that’s set in the most picturesque setting. We love a nice glass of rose or beer watching the water, feeling the roaring firepit nearby and enjoying some bivalves! Lots of other non raw seafood items on the menu as well that are perfect for snacking.

This is our go to when we are craving some good ol’ fashioned fried seafood. An absolute local favorite, we love their fried whole belly clams, lobster rolls and fried oysters. The market also has a selection of fresh fish to choose from. It’s no nonsense, no frills and 2 minutes away from the villa!

Cute little winery with fun fruit wine options. Affordable tastings usually led by the owner, whom always makes it an enjoyable time for his guests. The shop stocks a variety of local products and for $14 a tasting, you can take home a souvenir wine glass as well! A fun diversion with about an hour time commitment.
