Five Bays Oasis
Set in the charming village of Osterville, this spacious 3,700 plus square foot residence offers an inviting Cape Cod escape just six minutes from Dowses Beach and moments from local favorites including Fancy’s Market. Thoughtfully updated and designed with summer gatherings in mind, the home combines a peaceful residential setting with easy access to the beach, village shops, and everything that makes the Cape so special. Pick up provisions from the market, spend the afternoon by the water, then return home for a leisurely evening under the stars. Inside, generous proportions and multiple gathering spaces make it easy for everyone to settle in. The main level features both a spacious family room and a separate living room, each furnished for relaxed lounging, while a lower level adds another TV lounge and dedicated game room. The well appointed kitchen pairs stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with a peninsula for casual dining, while a separate dining room comfortably seats eight. Four bedrooms occupy the second level, including a spacious king suite with a private bath featuring both a walk in shower and jetted tub, two queen bedrooms, and a family friendly bunk room with two twin beds and an additional single. The heart of summer living unfolds outside, where an inviting heated saltwater pool is surrounded by an expansive stone patio designed for long afternoons and easy entertaining. Lounge beside the water, gather around the shaded dining table for an al fresco meal, or settle around the wood burning fire pit as evening falls. A gas grill and enclosed outdoor shower add to the effortless outdoor experience, while rooftop solar panels provide year round energy to the home. With its generous living spaces, resort like backyard, and coveted Osterville location, this is a Cape Cod retreat made for slowing down, gathering together, and savoring summer.

Reviews
Jane
We enjoyed our end-of-summer stay very much. The kids loved the heated pool & all the floating devices. (We heard the tall pines were going to be removed and that would sure help with the debris issue.) Everyone was impressed with the knife set & much-better-than-standard flatware! ... thanks for a fun week.
