KEY Curation Notes

Gated community on a private 500-acre peninsula — Great Island is one of the Mid-Cape's most coveted addresses, accessible only through a 24/7 manned gatehouse on Nantucket Sound in West Yarmouth.
Three private beaches within a 5–8 minute walk — White Gate Beach and Whale Beach front Nantucket Sound, while Cove Beach on Lewis Bay is the calmer option for young kids and paddleboarding. Seagull Beach, one of the Cape's most popular public beaches, is a 15-minute walk.
Private heated saltwater pool and hot tub — both are seasonal and subject to routine maintenance windows; availability is not guaranteed outside peak summer months.
Two primary suites, each with a private en-suite bath — one on the first floor with deck access, one on the second. The five-bedroom layout sleeps eight across four bedrooms plus a queen sleeper sofa.
Chef's kitchen on the upper level with a pot filler, full suite of appliances, and ample space for group cooking — lobster nights are a recurring feature here.
Beach gear is provided — umbrella and equipment included, though water sport gear (paddleboards, kayaks, surfboards) must be brought or rented locally. Linens and pool towels are included.
Wrap-around upper deck and private yard with a gas grill, outdoor shower, and basketball net; parking for up to four vehicles in a circular driveway, no street parking available.

Reviews

Sari C.

We had an amazing week and created lasting memories with my family. Cannot beat the location right by the beach and bay with great scenery with a pool and hot tub. You have everything you need at the home. The area is secluded but close to restaurants and activities. Beach is a quick walk. The owners and property management company made the the process simple.
