Dock on the pond, gardens, your own laundry, electric bikes, beach chairs, and canoe

Brought to you by the Heart of Cape Cod, The Breeze is a secluded pondside cottage designed for romantic getaways, peaceful escapes, and quiet connections. Tucked beside a tranquil freshwater pond, this thoughtfully curated retreat marries classic Cape Cod charm with modern comfort and spa like touches. Whether you’re unwinding after a day on the trails or paddling across still waters at dawn, The Breeze invites you to slow down and savor every moment.

Step inside and feel the calm wash over you. Light spills through windows into an intimate living space where plush seating and quiet corners offer spaces to read, reflect, or linger over conversations that stretch into the golden hour.. The fully equipped kitchen and coffee bar make sunrise coffee or sunset appetizers effortless, while details like plush robes and high quality linens elevate every night’s rest.

Outside, the rhythm of the pond is your soundtrack. Glide across glassy water in the provided kayak or canoe, set out for a floating picnic, or simply watch dragonflies skim the surface from an Adirondack chair on the dock. Fire up the gas grill, dine under the open sky, and gather around the fire pit with gourmet s’mores as stars emerge overhead. For active days, electric bikes whisk you to the Cape Cod Rail Trail, Salt Pond Visitor Center, or nearby National Seashore beaches — all while letting you come home to serenity.

Booking Notes
We understand that plans can shift like the tides, so we always recommend purchasing travel insurance for peace of mind during your Cape Cod getaway.
For Airbnb: We set only two charges — a fair nightly rate and a cleaning fee based on what our professional team charges to reset the home. Airbnb adds its own platform service fee and collects local/state taxes separately. These are not controlled or retained by us.
